HTF he miss that goal 4q on his left too , he’s no @#$# good , doesnt do much right I’m afraid
Let me say this , Seth Campbell gonna be a bloody good player , more midfield that set and forget forward , moves really well , works thru traffic and makes good decisions, his execution much better last night . 10 games in he’s getting a decent amount of ball , really hope he loves life in Melbourne, reports are he does
carltoon are going to file a complaint about the umpiringno this is not april fools
'Very dangerous situation': Umpires under microscope as Voss, Hardwick question calls
Both Carlton and Gold Coast's coaches had the umpires in their crosshairs after the Blues knocked off the Suns by 29 points. However, both men had entirely different issues with the officiating during the contest.www.abc.net.au
one time it doesnt go their way they lodge a complaint
Good. We are piss weak in that regard.

Really pleased with the performance of the team last night. They played with the type of effort and intensity that should be the normal level of the team. Despite not having our best midfield in, we won the clearance battle, which helps the defenders by not having easy ball coming in and we matched them in contested possessions which is a promising signs for when we get Taranto & Hopper back in the next couple of weeks. The forward line is still a bit of a mess and loss structure as the game went on, with Lefau spending the 2nd half battling 2-3 opponents at the contest which is a fair effort considering he was banged up with a shoulder concern just before half time. Was great to see Martin wind back the clock and have a genuine impact on the game, hopefully it's not one of those games like Cotchin had approaching his 300th where he looked like the Cotchin of old before fading away again.
Some individual player thoughts
Balta - took a few minutes to slip back into the defenders mindset, but once he settled into the game was a real general down back. Intercept marking and setting up rebound opportunities. Will be interesting to see if he continues down back, given Koschitzke looked good as a defender in the VFL game and could possibly come in to play defence and let Yze continue trialing Balta as a forward.
Dow - playing some solid footy at the moment. Still has some moments where he lets himself down, the failure to attack a mark when Short went into the corridor and was intercepted by Merrett the one that stood out most. It's amazing what happens when you give a young player the opportunity to build into a season and allow them to adjust to the tempo of top level footy. As stated elsewhere, he will never be an elite midfielder, but in a well structured midfield group he certainly has a role to play.
Campbell & Ralphsmith - these 2 should be our future wingers. Both cover an immense amount of ground (16 & 16.7 km for each respectively last night). Both have improved each week they run out. Hugo's defensive work is quite impressive for someone who struggled to impact in that area early on. A couple of efforts deep inside our D50 to ensure Essendon didn't take an easy mark were important in a close game. Campbell is very clean and smart with his ball use. Couple of moments where he could have blazed away inside F50, but he hit the right option to give us a better chance at scoring. His gut running at times really showed out as well.
McAuliffe - 4 games in and this kid has shown that he is quite comfortable at the level. Played just 66% of game time, but had 16 disposals 8 contested 5 tackles and 4 clearances. Like Dow he will benefit from having Taranto & Hopper back, but we can be confident that we have a midfield unit that can carry us forward over the next couple of years.
Ryan - justifiably copping a bit of grief for his performance, but people need to understand that he isn't a genuine KPF, but a genuine ruck being asked to help out up forward. Ryan like Nankervis plays his best as a full time ruck where he can build into the game. Asking him to come on for 5 minute bursts a couple of times a quarter just doesn't suit him. Unfortunately the injury crisis has forced us into this situation. I'd be happy for him to go back to the VFL and play the rest of the year as the number 1 ruck and let him develop his game down there.
Cumberland - the roller coaster ride continues with this kid. Gets himself in the right spots to be able to be an option, but then often lets himself down through poor execution or failure to compete in the contest. While his pressure acts and tackle numbers were good on paper a lot of those pressure acts come too late as he oftentimes is ball watching initially when realized that he needed to be the one chasing. It's these little things that are stopping him from stepping up, but he is worth persisting with. As we've seen with the likes of Dow Campbell & Ralphsmith giving the younger guys game time and allowing them to adjust to the tempo of playing senior footy can pay off.

You don't think it has anything to do with him having no composure and just blindly kicking it straight to the opposition. All night. If he must be in the side, he'll do far less damage further up the ground.

If we could make multiple premiership players of macca and Pickett can’t see how Hugo wouldn’t have a future , has much to work with , love his dash and he’s relentless , keep him in the side
Yea what a flipping whinger, he ll be more upset when they’re dumped in srt sets , prepare yourselves
They're definitely improving, but their soft draw has inflated their ladder position.
