HTF can a side go from utterly hopeless (17th) to top 4 in a year?
Gees it would be nice to snag a freebie gun or two as a FA/academy pick like a lot of other clubs seem to have done recently.

Voss needs to find some pace from somewhere. We are so slow.......
Yep getting slaughtered on the outside. Players without a defensive bone in their body and finding defensive pressure acts as unnatural. See ya.

Every time we have had a shot at making finals late in a season the last few years we have choked up the last qtr. 2020, under Teague, we were a real red hot chance. 4 games from the end we led at 3/4 time against the Pies and fell apart in the last qtr, 5 days later, 15pts up at 3/4 time against GWS and s hit our pants. We won the next game. If we won those other 2 we would have been game and percentage inside the 8 with 2 games to go. Come 2022 and that s hit still hasn't been sorted.
If we actually learn from this it could a real good thing going forward. Will we or will we be the same old Carlton? We have a reputation now for choking. Sides will always think they are in the game now against us.

Take the full 50m, get yourself as deep as possible and then use the ball cleverly to spot up a fwd. Sometimes slow crafty play is better than run and gun. Composure.To the letter of the law it should have been 2 x 50m penalties to Pittonet as Cox impeded his progress towards the new mark.
I know full well it’s wasted energy to fixate on such sliding doors moments but I tear my hair out sometimes at non-decisions that are so confidently called by some umpires (I’m still trying to figure out who blocked whom which gifted them a goal in the last), yet other decisions are not interpreted consistently.

While we can all moan about free kicks that may or may have not been there, the simple fact of the matter is you should not lose games when you are 4 goals up at 3/4 time. Coughing up big leads has been our achilles heel all year
This is about psychology, not acts on the football field. It's like we sit back and admire the scoreboard, and then ease off the gas. Then, we get so frightened of failure that we suffer from 'deer in the headlights' syndrome and stop playing the brand of football that gets us in front in the first place. Apart from the 4 points lost yesterday, think of all the % we left on the table by letting huge leads evaporate. Port, Hawthorn, Dogs, Swans spring to mind.
We will never be there at the pointy end until we become ruthless and learn to stand on throats and not let them get back up.
If we play 2 quarters in each game like the third yesterday, we will win most matches. If we play three, we will be almost unbeatable. The psychology is to start each quarter with the mindset that scores are level, and the quarter must be won.

I dont know how to upload a photo, but to dot point how dumb our players are, I have been sent an image of Charlie curnow, ball in possession, half forward flank, with 2.11 on the clock. He has taken a mark, and he has a short kick on to Durdin who is free on the 50 metre line. Instead of kicking it to Durdin who would have been in range to have a ping and get a super important point, he kicked long to a vacant pocket to the advantage of Collingwood players who were able to clear it easily and go end to end.
This is the sort of stuff that as a fan drives you insane, because in range durdin could have taken a very important 30 seconds off the clock and made it a 1 kick game with 1.40 on the timer instead.

Either the Collingwood players are just all smarter than ours or they are coached better.

That's where injuries are an excuse.
Covering a hole in one area by moving a vital part weakens the other area.
