Bolton was so poor all night. A lot of silly errors by ur cost us the game, not the umpires.
Bullshit … open ya eyes … if you can’t see that we are umpired differently than the rest of the comp … you need spec savers … very proud of the club tonight but enough is enough … this shit has to be called out

The umpires gifted C'wood four or five wins in "close" games last year, to make the top four.
Then gifted crucial decisions in the grand final, "advantage", etc.
Have had a gut feeling since then Carlton will be favoured this year to win the trophy.
A large following and have not won for so long.
Boosts TV ratings, gate attendances and so forth.
 
I'll be honest. If someone had said to me on my way into the game that Gibcus would do his knee, Prestia would do his hammy for the 411th time and Young would get knocked out and the opposition had Charlie and Harry and then asked me to pick the margin, I would have said 60+...

Brave... Annoying and ultimately Mansell's miss, Baker's frustration and a Balta Rance moment cost us. I love the heart though... also good to see a team in their premiership window (cough cough) almost get rolled by a side out on their feet was delighful.

We'll be fine but it'll be a different looking team next week.
 
As you all probably know, I'm one of the last to blame the umps but it literally felt like they got a call from AFL House at quarter time and made it their mission to ensure we didn't get up.

What makes it worse though is that even with all that bs going on, we still should have won.

Brilliant effort from the team though.
Thought we were a chance to snag it in the end but it wasn't to be.

Shattered for Gibcus. Some players just get a wretched run with injuries.

I'm not of the school of thought where everyone is exempt of criticism because of the circumstances.
Pickett was shocking most of the day. Cost us on a multitude of occasions.

Changes:
Out: Prestia, Gibcus, Young, Pickett
In: McAuliffe, Bauer/Kosi, Clarke, Sonsie
 
Agree no doubt come Brownlow night it will be
Round 1

1 Vote Curnow
2 Votes Harry
3 Votes Cripps
With the consistent crap from the umpires i sadly have to agree with your votes.
Curnows 3 1/2 minutes unmanned in the backline will get him over the line for the the three votes.
Any richmond supporter remember lynch ever playing in the back line to try save the game??

What are the expectations here ? We just aren’t that good. I just want to see us fight which we did and they should be proud. Play more kids may as well. Gonna be a big off season of recruiting

The CFL would have drafted this up over summer. That is their 2024 payday. Blooze winning would be a cash bonanza. Not an accident they are winning all these close games.
 
Gutsy effort but just a few too many weak links.

Our skills or lack thereof stands out like dog's balls.

Mansell I don't see it. 6 disposals. If he can't win a 50/50 contest he is a liability. Awful skills. 58% game time - that tells me the coaches can't see it as well.

MRJ - 4 disposals. Lost cause. Time to try someone else as a small fwd.

Broad - 9 disposals - he's dead weight being carried.

0-2 isn't fatal but with Port and Sydney to come 0-4 is. Gonna suck to sit through a dead season before June hits.

I'd be telling the AFL to shove our round zero fixture next year. Ridiculous.
Mansell was sub. He wouldn't be in my team. a goal assist .pretty rubbish kick marked by someone

I actually reckon back line looks better with one tall. Grimes & Broad weren't bad.

Midfield looked with no Prestia.
 
yeah he set up a goal or two as well so hes a net gain of 1 goal

you think its the man's fault we lost with 3 men down and a tidal wave of umpal reamage after qtr time?

cmon man

no blame

perseverance furthers

We didn't loose because of Mansell, we lost because we still have the same turn over merchants playing in team and players making half assed attempts.

It's frustrating.

The point I'm making is at crucial times when we needed 'that' goal mansell had missed.
 
Completely and utterly devastated for gibcus. Nathan brown vibes. It’s an injury that is so significant for his career too with 2 years off footy. It’s a nightmare. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Our backline is in serious strife. Without our most important developing youngster.

Other than the injuries, we looked alright tonight. Balta easily our best, followed by maybe vlastuin.
Balta is seriously rising and becoming one of our most important.

I’m losing patience with Thomson dow. A couple more games of this and I would like to see sonsie replace him permanently. I actually would rather sonsie right now but I think he has another week off.

Pickett seriously needs to go. What on earth are we doing playing him. He makes 10 costly errors for one good piece of play. It’s getting ridiculous now. He is not part of our future. Get banks and brown in the team NOW.
