Surely we wont have a rant thread after that game.....the misses killed us in the end. 1 goal 9 in the last and five posters. Its a game of inches.
 
Happy with McLean and Watson. Gibbs put his head over the ball more. Duigan was back to his better form. Simpson was a star. Warnock good. Tuohy good.

We wanted an effort and we got it. 5 posters and a crap Selwood free hurt a lot.

I just cant be happy with a good effort tonight like its all forgiven. Itll take weeks and wins on the board before we can put it behind us
 
Something must be terribly wrong with Judd.

He barely made the goals from 20m out.

WTF????????

Kicked it 60 in the dying seconds. I reckon he's just suffering with 3 of our best 5 mids missing
 
Gibbs. An absolute superstar. Terrific performance tonight on Johnson. Haters are going to hate, but Gibbs is a gun.
 
Is it 4 or 5 goals directly from Joseph mistakes in defense?

Handy game from Watson and better intensity all around, but were are going to struggle to make the 8.


Did you watch the game? I think he had a real crack tonight. Yes, his disposals let us down. But we had our chances tonight. The defeat wasn't his fault. He was poo against StKilda, so im glad he did better.

get metric or go back to the dark ages
 
Yeah Joseph was much better tonight. I doubt very much there were 4 or 5 goals from his mistakes. People tend to blame players for not doing the impossible or just for being in the area.
 
We blew this game with our set shots. 5 posters don't help. Our effort was there, Watson and bootsma played well for young fellas. Walker had his greedy boots on, Judd down. We just don't have the cattle at the minute. Hope warnock pulls up ok. We need him badly
 
Finally some watchable football again from the Carlton Football Club. Dominant in most of the important indicators but kicking in front of goal let us down badly.

Liked the games of Collins, Watson, Tuohy, Warnock and Duigan which were all promising.

Unfortunately i'm ready to concede the top 4 finish at this point, and in all likelihood, any chance of the flag in 2012.
 
look we've had quite a few positives out of this match even though we lost

Postitives
  • Bootsma and Watson are continuing to do well
  • Duigan returned to some fine form and touch
  • Gibbs had probably his best game for the year
  • Jamison had a reasonably good game on hawkins
  • betts is amongst the goals
  • much more intensity across the board
  • if we'd kicked straighter we'd have been much much better at it
Ill leave the negatives to others.

The effort was increased, accuracy was poor in the last when it mattered - and not just from the boundary. I think its clear Gibbs needs to be given a man and told to shut him down. No more roaming free about the place. The three rucks isnt working - and maybe irrelevant anyway with Warnock injured again - Id like to see Mitchell fast tracked if Waite isnt coming back soon.

You're dead right, we had 30 scoring shots against Geelong tonight, one of the best defences in the competition, we sliced them up, and couldn't convert.

God knows how many set shots we missed.
 
We'll probably only win around 3 games at years end. Maybe 4 if we're lucky.

Good effort tonight, we just didnt have the class or the finishing skills it takes to be a top 8 side. Well done to Simpson, ran his guts out, Gibbs, did a good job on Stevie Gay, Watson, improving each game, Judd, nice last quarter efforts and McLean, Duigan, Walks and Warnock.
