We run forwards, they turn it over.... Everyone out of position, easy goal crows.Agree. Love Simmo, my favourite player of all time but he is done. And it wasnt just tonight, been terrible all year. Turns it over more often than not. OShea, just another VFL player who is not upto to AFL level as is Graham. Mullet is the most disappointing one, supposed to be a good kick.
So get a clue Bolton and drop some of these repeat offenders.
Until we get these aspect of the game sorted we have no hope.
Just showed Levi heading off to hospital. Another one bites the dust.

JSOS couldn't be any less useless on ball than Kennedy or Graham. Those two are giving nothing.

x2... I'd also add the midfield, we just struggle if Cripps is contained and lack other mature bodies......
Kennedy is either unfit or just finding it too hard without his star GWS mates, just contributing nothing....

I'm thinking unfit. Looking at the NBs SOS could play his role there right now.

Considering injuries and form.....has our list ever been in worst shape.....EVER???
Not in my lifetime......
Re: 2018 Rd 7: Post Game Platitudes: Carlton vs Adelaide - Professer E - 05-05-2018
I saw enough at the NBs to see that there are replacements for some of the numpties wasting our time in the seniors.... If Levi is out then DeK or Kerr gets a run. Fine.
Similarly Schumacher has upside, Mullet and o'shea don't.

He looked a different player playing on the ball. 2nd time Fraser has done that with SOS with success. Looks like he'd be very handy in stoppages.

Real slow in the NB's. I didnt rate his game, disposal was ordinary and he needs more tricks to play midfield......
