Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 17: Carlton vs Geelong - Baggers - 07-10-2021
Realistically, it's hard to be critical of our boys after that game... except for disposal skills, especially in front of goal.
The effort was terrific and deserves acknowledgment. We didn't really drop our heads.
I don't think the coach's box could have done better.
We took 3 injured blokes into the game -- Crippa, Williams & Martin, lost two before the bounce, liability with Setterfield and then kicked badly. Stayed in the game with will only.
Newnes & Fogarty honest toilers but really found out in a game like this.
Corralling has to be coached out of this side. Good opponents just walk away with the aggott.
Weiters, Crippa, Walsh... great efforts. In fact the backline did bloody well considering the number of inside 50s from the Pussycats. Love watching Saad.
We will get so much better with a healthier list. I'm not as disappointed or discouraged as some.

Prematch no one on the site gave us a chance, most predicted a 3-4 goal loss. We lose a key defender and backup ruckman prematch and have no adequate replacements in the wings and are forced to use two spuds… and what did we lose by???

Disappointed or discouraged, no, frustrated beyond recall due to kicking at goal, yes. On another day an undermanned side could have taken a famous win.

Ta ta:
Ed C
Setterfield
Need to replace so many more
Martin and Williams should be in the twos
What a masterful display by Jacob Weitering
That’s exactly as I saw the game
I’d also throw Plowman in with the ta ta group
The truth is that all of Setterfield, Curnow, Martin, Plowman, Newnes are barely AFL standard, whilst Kennedy, Newman are too often average. Fogarty ison the cusp. Martin hot and cold
Way too many passengers

shocking coaching.
Teague confirmed to me he's not up to it....

Yet, it was just bad kicking that cost us.

We were very short down back. Might not have had alot of choice. Not much wrong with Teague today. One thing he doesn't have under control is a score of 2.14.

Did you miss the soft, insipid repeated turnover coming out of the back line all night?
And others all over the ground really.
That's nothing to do with losing a few players.
Our guys are mentally very weak.
Picking blokes like Setters doesn't help - hope that bloke donates his pay check to a charity this week.

I'm tired of the injuries excuse. If Martin is injured - as some suggest - then dont play him. If he is fit, then drop him, his work rate is not up to scratch.
