So, I have a mate in Adelaide so decided to make the trip (by car) catch up with him see the boys and experience the hype of the gather round concept. My mate managed to score some tickets for a corporate box, SWEET! Weather was cr@p on the drive over but as soon as I got over Mt Lofty it cleared to a sunny day. All the signs were good and I started to feel optimistic.
Then the game started
Had to be one of the most disappointing efforts for quiet some time.
Got back tonight, the only positive from the game - First time I haven't lost my voice at a Carlton game in 2 years
Didn't think we have been playing that well since round 1 but never expected that sort of capitulation (bar, maybe that little period in the 2nd and 3rd)
I'm very, very worried about the next game against the Aints

I wonder if our so-so efforts for the year papered over cracks... which we ignored... which we put a favourable spin on... sound familiar?

Other non Carlton mates who watched the game ALL said the umpiring was very bias towards the Cows.
I agree whole heartedly. It was like there were 4 razor Ray's!
I am VERY worried about our ruck situation.
We were smashed and beaten convincingly around the ground.
Worst now Pitto is out.
Tdk does cameos around the ground but no where near enough. JSOS does the best he can but can't keep it up all year.
Against Adelaide or mids got no where near the ball and when that happens we go to water.
We need to get another ruck from the ruck shop in the mid season draft.

I watched as much of the replay as I could ?
I thought many of our blokes looked scared, insecure, and unsure. Go figure ?
Perhaps a bit reflective of the novelty of the round, and opening it in particular. Playing at a ground and against a team that has haf our number for ages. Losing some important leadership and structure may have fed the doubt. Who knows? It was a very poor performance no matter the circumstances.
Like others, I haven't been convinced by our performances thus far. That said, to have 3w 1d means we've lost no ground. Despite our on field woes and injuries, we have time to regroup. Another performance like last though and the fans will get restless.
Go Blues

I can answer it if you want.The brutal bit was our big mids according to Hardwick......Hewett, Kennedy and Cripps......whats changed? , Hewett looks like he is playing with his hand still injured and was rushed back too early. Kennedy got injured again and looked short of a gallop and when Cripps has a down game we really struggle especially when his opponent is someone decent and spends all game on their own doing what they like.
You add Pittonet injured and TDK down on form and its our main attack weapon the midfield that let us down vs the Crows.
Pace...we played a fast brand when on song rather than having a lot of individual leg speed, players hit targets, run to position well
and you get a good linkup to Charlie and Harry.
