We may have injury concerns with Weitering and Casboult.
Buckley is no good for our future. Thinks he's a star, when he's not. He inevitably gets caught, makes rash decisions, turnover, goal. Yes he provides carry coming out, at speed, but gee my heart is in my throat every time he gets near it. That and the fact he can't tackle anyone of decent size because his parents had him on bread and milk while he was a teenager. Pass. Let's see if he gets a new contract.

Anyhoo, we are offensively impotent, and the greatest defense in the world won't help that.

Going inside forward 50 was our biggest let down. So many times guys pulled up on a kick inside and had passed instead and turned over. Graham going into F50 was probably the worst.
Everett started to try hard when the game was over.
Cas spent a lot of time running the boundary.
Hodge did pretty much nothing all day but ice th cake. Should have only been a 2 goal loss and a winnable game.
Not at all too disappointed.
Go blues!!

He might as well have said that if they had another half dozen serious footballers they'd be OK, he was just pissing in our pocket.
Burgoyne killed us and we were lucky Gunston didn't have his kicking boots on for once, there's still a wide gulf between us and the best and we can't bridge it by busting our guts.
We need some genuine skill ASAP.

Yep
19 points
That would have been 13 if not for an atrocious kick out from Docherty
Opposition players have talked positively about us for the last three weeks in post game comments.
We're sadly lacking in the forward department at the moment but we're not miles off.
Those close losses this year will be wins in 12 months time.

Agree. A long way to go but we are on the right track, building on our defence. The next drafting and trading periods are all important.

He's not that wrong. With better run and execution we won 6 out of 7, admittedly against sides at our level, excluding Geelong, and made life tough for others. We are a few midfielders short, which hopefully we can sort in the next draft or two. We are in the first year of a rebuild so you'd expect we'd be a bit down on the best. There's signs with a few more additions we can be a serious side.
We might eek out 8-9 wins with our run home from here.
Re: Rd 19: Post Game Intensive Analysis: Carlton vs Hawthorn - Lods - 07-30-2016
We're streets ahead of where we were last year with many of our younger players with lots of positive development to come.
We've been competitive with some of the best sides in the competition in recent weeks.
You can't help but be positive about that.

Plus the snap from Krooz (from 5m out) and the dribble from the boundary by the Hawks. Argh!
