Game Day Rnd 16 Carlton v Brisbane Game Day

[90N90S]

Can we take drugz to numb the hurt?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Welp.. this game is a joke

 

[HarryFlashman]

Boltons presser should start with "we are really bad & need help, the AFL needs to give us a PP"

 

[Michael Jezz]

Harry doest split defences at the moment. Thats his problem.

Maybe you want to reward laziness by giving him a game when he doest want to crash packs or lead. Im happy we didnt.

Harry is best 22 Period. The rest is theory and complexity and over thinking our decisions

 

[HBF]

Sam Walsh, come on down.

 

[Arr0w]

I can’t understand a lack of effort. Or a complete lack of skill. One is non-negotiable, the other is train-able.

As i said, it will become apparent soon

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Weitering has got that Jack Watts look about him. Hope I am wrong. When he plays he just seems to run in 2nd gear, no urgency....

That's the question mark I have over Lukosius tbh. Just seems to be lacking intensity at times.

 

[Blubagger71]

You would have at least seen some success. I was 5 when we won the flag in 1995. The 2000s were gruelling in high school. A couple of decent years then bang... Latter half of my 20s as a bottom side

Not helping though. Makes the longing for success hurt more. There was a pride in wearing the colours, not armed with justification narratives like rebuild and green shoots.

 

[Matty411]

Youve been watching a different McKay.

He's been lazy when he's played. He isnt crashing packs and isnt leading. He's always caught behind.

That's why he isnt being played.

Can you honestly say we would have been worse off with him in the side today? Playing in the seconds will do no good. Half our side is getting rewarded with piss all effort and McKay gets held to a BS standard when we are literally at rock bottom? Charlie has been destroyed without another tall target. McKay is the future so you just bloody play him in a year where we can't buy a win. NOT playing him will surely just drive him to ask for more opportunities.

 

[Mondyboy]

9 Brisbane players have had more possessions than out guys.

I don’t mind the young kids learning and making mistakes, Bolton is also a “young” coach and will make mistakes. It’s the lack of effort and doing the same things over and over again that shits me.

 

[ETET]

Mckay not getting games in a 1-22 season is pathetic. Even if his attitude isn’t right at least let go prove himself at worst we can trade him when his value is high. **** the people in charge of this club.

Yep, part of a coaches job is to get your best players on the park, we can blame McKay but it is also Bolton’s job to get him on the park doing to right stuff

 

[Pablito]

Why haven't they thrown sos forward to support charlie?

Hang in there F it’s toguh being a Blue

 

[Benaly28]

Let’s see what Bolts says today.

 

[Jimmae]

The fitness gap is tiny, but the gap in mental urgency versus panicking themselves into a stupor is enormous.

We've got at most 8 players out there who don't panic or stall possession under basic AFL pressure. Zero confidence.

Either we've got a list full of intellectually challenged footballers, or something is going horribly in our week to week preparations (note: not necessarily a coaching issue).

 

[Bobmonkey]

You can sit anyone up forward and take a defender though. They're not going to leave someone sit there on their own regardless of who they are.

Are you and I watching the same game? As the commentators said, you’ve got a team who have kicked to 1 forward 17 times and all other forwards twice. There is no foil, it’s predictable. You need another tall to create a target and split the key defenders.

At the moment Curnow is getting smashed by multiple defenders. The team needs someone to take some focus.

It’s not rocket science. Something needs to change at the selection table.

 

[BoltonsBlues]

Everyone look at the stats. Look at the bottom 2 carlton players. And then look at philips who was injured what first qtr... it is now to 4th qtr. These two should not be picked again...

 

[Bostonian]

Exactly.

Why I want us to ******* well draft one.

Luckily there's a tall and a small one available in this year's draft.

 

[BlueBelle]

Was fremantle or today a worse performance?

freo

 

[Juddy the jet]

I really wish Murphy got stuck into hodge and Zorko earlier when he had a chance... just got his jumper ripped and complained to the teacher (umpire) instead.... ohhhhh misssss!

Mckay would make no difference to the outcome another 3 good midfielders with good leg speed and skills and 2 or 3 small defenders ( Docherty Simpson Williamson ) well thats another story .

Would've helped Charlie. He's flying blind into packs, good chance of injury if he keeps doing that.

 

[90N90S]

Let’s see what Bolts says today.

Oh I know the answer to that.

 

[Gethelred]

As much as ive supported the rebuild, major questions need to be asked as to why we're not even competitve in the majority of our games.

Id prefer Bolts to come out and tell it as it is rather than the spin we keep hearing

Could you do me a favor, and go through exactly what he's said that can be described as spin?

 

[nike1]

at least we beat essendon..
