Game Day Rnd 18 - Carlton v Hawthorn Game day Discussion

[Styxx]

What the **** are more draft picks going to do? We are shit, we can't develop players, we already have a ton of high draft picks, we are disgraceful.

Then walk away

 

[ESKIE]

Fisher injured?

 

[jj1978]

6 weeks the narrative.. no priority pick... well it's going to happen now...
this week the narrative... Bolton will coach 2019... beginning to think if in a few weeks we're still seeing this....

1 thing for sure... every assistant coach has to be wiped out... bring in some real experienced assistant coaches and someone to help Bolts out... whom, f'd if I know.. but he needs help!

 

[Mondyboy]

I could joke that we’re still digging for rock bottom but I’m too sad. It’s horrible to say but teams coached by Pagan and MM would beat this team.

Injuries have murdered us. Our skills have been awful since JLT and have never shown any improvement. We keep losing players in game and our back up are barely VFL players.

We’re already a laughing stock. But now everyone has stopped laughing.

As usual a couple of early injuries and some shockingly biased umpiring sees us behind the 8-ball. Overall though super impressive display from most of the team. Kids really giving it there all, and led well by our senior group. A bit of luck and we are right in this.

 

[Benaly28]

We don’t have a game plan that works for us.Devoid on any confidence.Once again injuries haven’t helped.Positives are Weitering,Lobbe and H.

 

[95blues]

That was a fair spoil. H needs to be stronger.

If the players were reversed though its a free kick. We get called for that every damn game.

 

[BrianSetzer]

What a waste of emotion i pour out for my team every week, im over it, life's too short, fck this.

[Bluandblublu]

Which Hawthorn player punched Cripps in the jaw?

 

[sherb]

I'm optimistic

We kicked 8 points that quarter.

Incremental improvement.

And that is infinitely more than what we kicked in the first term, if I remember my maths correctly.

 

[GiantSkwid]

What do our players do at training during the week? They must sit around drinking coffees because they sure as hell don’t do anything skill based.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The players are so lost. Coaching issue

Inexperience and continuity issue.

 

[PP34]

Agreed, but he should have use his body to create the marking space. Just like Polson should have drawn the player... hope they learn.

Should have stuck his knee into him like Waite used to do for us.

Defenders have a field day with tall lanky forwards that don’t defend themselves.

 

[ForYouBlue]

Feel like it’s a blind Shepard with his toes hanging off a cliff. Bolts needs to take some responsibility before all our players are in a free fall. Time to grow a backbone and stop enabling participation ribbons with pc bullshit

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

Well regardless of the results, for those wanting to sack Bolton what could you do with that bunch half of them probably carrying injuries and most have no idea how to put a decent passage of play together..
A coach can only do so much he cannot kick it for them, we have had a lot of bad luck with injuries and we have absolutely terrible depth...

 

[mediumsizered]

Don't say anything negative, just happy happy joy joy.

Constructive criticism is good. Negativity is lazy.

 

[La Dispute]

Our young players have actually been good. Cripps being ridiculously quiet hasn’t helped but we’re seeing some signs, we just can’t put a full play together. We miss easy balls and get exposed in open play.

Weitering has been really good. Some nice spoils, is back to reading the play and providing some rebound. Has saved a few goals on his own.

Liking Matt Shaw. Throws himself into contest and generally picks the right option.

Few nice pieces of play from LOB.

The scoreboard isn’t reflecting the state of the game

 

[Mondyboy]

Which Hawthorn player punched Cripps in the jaw?

Howe.

Maate. We are a team of kids and all our talent bar a few is injured. It'll get better.

No matter who is on the park our structures and ball movement should look a lot better than it is.

The players look confused and don't know what to do with the ball.

This is a coaching issue.

 

[TheKing101]

Pick 19 isn’t going to do s***. We need pick 2 but that would never happen. Don’t really know how to feel about the future.

 

[PrinceCharles]

Great to see Kennedy, Marchy and Weiters start to build their form. Would love to go a game without injuries.

 

[Blue Warrior]

That was a fair spoil. H needs to be stronger.

Yep his arm wasn't chopped so he would of dropped the mark.
Kennedy,Franklin,Roughead etc would have got a free for the exact same thing. It was front on contact and arm chop everyday of the week.

 

[PP34]

As usual a couple of early injuries and some shockingly biased umpiring sees us behind the 8-ball. Overall though super impressive display from most of the team. Kids really giving it there all, and led well by our senior group. A bit of luck and we are right in this.

We were behind the 8 ball well before Fisher went down.

Sammy Mitchell + Jimmy Bartel would be a great start.
