The commentators were talking about Carrots, having been to an umpires course, or something similar. I don't remember the exact details. That this is his final year is a foregone conclusion.

Thought we tried pretty hard and were doing OK until skill errors gave this mob of down hill skiers a break, it was all they needed and pretty much killed off our enthusiasm, frustrating to watch and on a few occasion Baker looked dumbfounded with what decisions we made, clearly not following instructions by the look on his face. The young guys like Smith and Boekhorst need to go with first option so they don't get caught at this stage of their introduction to AFL, thought Boekhorst showed something tonight which is promising as he was potential spud material, Cripps is great but needs to get the same kicking coach as Cas!
Still drank a lot of beer to ease the pain but I sure we will get better before I turn into an alcoholic

We'll be better when the faint hearted and the ones that don't want to be there have gone, together with those who just aren't up to it.

Cookie...We might have trouble fielding a team with that criteria

10 odd goals against a middling side says it all, and little can be said that has not been said before.
It was encouraging to see Boekhorst play well in the first half. He has some skill and with good coaching will have a chance to develop. Murphy was plugging holes in the end; he is copping a real beating of late, but is making repeat efforts where few of his team mates, while making an effort, simply dont know what to do.
The terrible coaching combined with the lack of direction on the field is showing why we are hardly competitive. We dont set up well, and we have holes in our defence due to a lack of movement and understanding by the players where they should go. We dont play a spare man back much, and if we do they dont maintain the right position relative to their team mates. Henderson was briefly back and took a couple of marks in the second quarter, but then was moved about again, with docherty spending time further up the ground. Its all a bit futile really.
Better players were murphy, cripps, everitt ( only because of 3 goals) and curnow had a crack. But let's move past applauding effort, for it is our poor skills and disorder that is the big difference.
Couple of things that annoyed were the poor minding of the mark. Get on the mark and get your arms up and move. Every little bit counts at this level and many of our players dont. Second was the almost zen like Barker at 1.20 to go in the first quarter, sitting in the coaches box. Get down on the ground early to round up the team once the siren blows. It was a wierd sight. A bit more enthusiasm may be warrented from a bloke that may want a senior job. Not that it matters much, and they played better in the second quarter but it didn't seem right.
And good god the channel 7 saturday night commentators are dills.

I expected around a 10 goal loss and the end result was close to that. All I can say at the moment is;
Richmond upset Hawthorn last night.
Melbourne upset Collingwood today.
Carlton upset their supporters everyday.
Re: Carlton V North- Post match thread - blue4life - 08-01-2015
Another poor performance but we'll need to get used to it, North only just went but still beat us by 10 goals.
Murphy, Cripps, Docherty and Kreuzer earned their money, a few others went OK but there were plenty of players wearing navy blue tonight who just aren't good enough.
It's a dispirited side who expect to lose, even when we were matching North before half time there was no fire in the belly, the second half was a foregone conclusion.
I feel for blokes like Buckley, Smith and Menzel, young blokes starting out with no one to show them the way, at a stronger club they'd be doing much better.
