Cripps needs Graham and Holman in the middle with him. Put Murphy on a HFF with instructions to run into the midfield. BB and Thomas on the wings and we should be ok going forward.Even just checking scores and stats during the game it was obvious the Bears were getting far more ball, especially the midfield. It was basically Cripps vs Brisbane midfield with some handy support from Murphy.
Heck Cripps had what, 14 clearances?? A fair chunk of our total.
I'm actually a bit worried how much load we'll put on the fella.
I would rather Jammo not shake the flogs hand then to be having a laugh like we didn't just get beaten by the bottom of the table team.
The difference between the Dogs and us is a year (maybe two) of nailing draft picks. We get that right over the next two seasons and we might be able to exceed expectations. At the moment our list isn't quite up to it.If the bullies can turn it around then anyone can. Look at the power too.
They were touted as GF material and where are they now?! And we knocked em off for gods sake!
I still think the blues can turn it around quicker than most think. It's been an absolute howler of a year
and it's been hard watching loss after loss. I'm hoping we see some sort of a spark or glimmer before the years out.
It's really important that we don't totally roll over.

Poor teamwork and mutual understanding makes a team look like they are unfit. I think it's more to do with inefficient running, not supporting each other and chasing the opposition for four quarters.For the 2nd time in a month we have failed to score a goal in not 1 but 2 quarters in a game (Hawks and Lions), thought I'd look into the number of goals in a qtr to see if something stands out as to why we're currently unable to score, under Barker in particular.
We must acknowledge injuries and the fact that Barker is playing more kids with lighter frames and less experience but I'll point out that Barkers 1st 3 game set was the best run we've had in terms of goals scored......what happened?

My belief of what's gone wrong is that our fitness is awful followed by lack of skill level and inexperience. As mentioned, R10-13 is our most consistent period while we already had a number of injuries to best 22/promising youngsters. Since MM has been at the club and the hiring of Butters, Carlton's ability to run out 3 qtrs has been a disgrace...fitness, running out games and putting 2 consecutive qtrs together has been a problem for many years but in the past 3 years, it has been exceptionally poor.....starting off the seasons behind the 8 ball. Look at MMs sets of 4* and the drop off between the 2, quite a difference. Add to this that we had our Bye after R10 and were able to have a much needed rest. Our general pressure and tackling have improved, so has our work rate.....the number of 4+ goal qtrs have stayed around the same between MM and Barks but the number of 0 goal qtrs is troublesome.
Higher work rate > goals > more energy used > poor fitness by AFL standards > lack of skills > turnover > run and defend > more energy used > goals flow other way > no goals, no energy, no confidence.
Perhaps Harks scared him off by outing him?and?
If that wasn't 'tanking', then I don't know what is.
All I was hearing was out on the full and deliberate tap-outs.
NO JOKE; A week before the first round I tipped Carlton for the wooden spoon. How right I am becoming.
About as right as you are becoming. The last prediction I could find here you made before round 1 was on 11 Feb. You predicted we would come 12th.

I don't. A result like this can only leave us with minimal expectations next year.I feel sorry for our next coach. So much work to do! I just hope the Board are patient this time!
