Yep, I think most of our known problems were on display tonight but at least we know what they are and can start working on them. Fighting the game out to the end is great start.
Correct with a capital "C". We had no idea what was going on because the players really couldn't give a rats freckle. At least now that they showed some effort we see what needs to be done. Don't think SOS is not watching things even closer now. He will really see a few things in the next 6 weeks.
Murphy as spotted in the box and buried his head in his hands on a few mistakes by Cripps. I think he finally wants to see us win. Maybe tonight might turn a few things around. We just need a few more 1%'ers, spoils crunches and sheppards. Work on small things to build a system to improve. The side still looks a little lost in confidence. I am certain we are on the up from here.

Geez 750k for that....
Scandalous. ...
Fair enough. Getting rid of him isn't the answer. There is no way we can recoup our losses, either financially or recruiting wise. We simply have to persevere with him and get what we can out of him while his body is adequate.

[1] Jones: Doesn't work hard enough and never gets separation from his opponent. His tank is so small that it just isn't funny. He can barely create a 2nd effort even trying his best. Why did we recruit this guy?
[2] Tutt: He fumbles the ball under pressure. His opponents know it. Get him on the outside and he is a chance of doing something reasonable, but get him in traffic and he is an error waiting to happen.
[3] Rucks: We were smashed in the rucks but we have no options.
[4] Small Forwards: we have none. Where is a Betts or a Garlett now we need them?
I get frustrated sometimes. Hopefully we can change these structural issues now that we have a new coach. We improved our intensity and work rate. We improved our tackling. We are on the way up, but the top looks just so far away.
All ticks there. We just must leave Jones out. He's awful.
Smashed in the ruck but won the clearances again. We're good at that part.

He always be decent if we look at it from a "non 750k" view. He just won't be great and live up to the dough he's getting and that's how he'll be judged. He does work hard. Essentially we bought a 400k footballer at best for 750k.

Lest we forgot the scandal, arguably rort, that is Buddy's 10 year contract.
A disgrace, again, from the pathetic spineless AFL.

We missed Judd but I'm not so sure the other two were missed that much.....Bell and Cripps got plenty of ball and did all the heavy work, Dylan Buckley is a goer and as Cameron Ling said should never play as the sub again and needs game time.
Wood was excellent in the ruck IMO and I thought Graham while not having much of the ball did put himself in and like Buckley needs the work and more game time..
Jones and Tutt need delisting.....
Touhy is overated and need dropping
Walker is nearly gone IMO and like Daisy looks heavy in the legs...that latter started ok but faded out as in previous games..
Henderson needs it lace out as a forward and wont get that service with us and needs to play down back...he isnt strong enough in the air to play KP forward.
Levi was ok in patches...
Everitt is better midfield or forward....
Docherty was ok
Menzel must be injured because he was useless.....
Armfield...honest trier
Cripps....great at the coalface but struggles to hit targets by foot but his handball is good and has clean hands....
Bell....a leader in many respects, strongest player at the footy, can break tackles etc but just lacks a bit of class with his use of the ball but he doesnt give in and we are seeing
second and third efforts....a player to keep and pair with Cripps for the future....
White....poor bugger, gets the oversized players every week and gets smashed...
Rowe...good IMO and tried hard.....
Simpson... battled away as always
Curnow...tagged Hanneberry I think and was ok at his role but didnt gte much of the footy, Hanneberry got away after half time..
Re: Round 9: Carlton vs. Sydney Post Game Pain - Vivian - 05-29-2015
Only saw the second half, so can only comment on a side that was 6 goals down going into the break.
Better effort all around, but the same issues that have beset the side for years, namely poor kicking and a lack of run.
Cripps, Curnow and Bell did well around the packs, and Docherty gave some run, along with Simpson.
Jones went missing as per usual, so no surprises there, and Henderson was underdone as expected. Everitt looked better up forward, and may be a better option than Jones around half forward as he seems to be better at meeting the ball directly. At least he moves a little more. Casboult did ok and his kicking is getting better. Hope Yarran's ankle is allright for next week.
Still, a black cloud has been lifted from the club and we can look forward to building something better. We have so far to go but things can turn around quicker than expected. They all need to work on the little efforts such as getting onto the mark, shepherding, and the like. This is what limits scores against rather than one on one heroic efforts. Bring on next week.
Re: Round 9: Carlton vs. Sydney Post Game Pain - Lods - 05-29-2015
Yep
I'd be looking at giving Everitt a few weeks stint in the Jones/Watson role.

Agree....is more mobile rather than being a mark and kick player...needs space to work in though...
