Too many injuries.....despite being somewhat overly cautious with blokes like Kemp and Curnow who have been fit and training form months.
I thought exactly the same thing. We looked knackered.

Until we have a few of our taller players back, we will continue to struggle.
De Koning got pounded in the ruck, which is the first time since he took the role. he has always been on 'better'rucks but has managed to contain them. Not today. Goldstein usually plays well against us. Last year Pitonett pounded the bugger, but Tom doesn't have the strength yet.

Disgusting weak effort and such a typical performance whenever we play in something that has a sliver of importance attached to it we fail time and time again.
All we deliver every year is excuses. We just need time, we are still too young, we need established players coming in the off season, we still need more mids, coach is a dud, umpires hate us and the AFL hate us, way too many injuries……….
Heard em all.
If you take off the blue glasses we are still a laughing stock have zero respect by the footy community and if we are honest they are right as with 4 weeks to go we could still end with another bottom 4 finish.
6 years into a rebuild folks.
Every fking year it’s the same BS.

Don't know why our massive injury list never scores a mention, but that was close to most pathetic, feeble effort we've dished up in a while. Mention finals and they poo their pants.
A couple of players I never, ever, want to see again this year. No excuses not to try others now - Honey, Kemp, Ramsay, Carroll.... Come on down.

From the first bounce the Intent was not there. They played last football, mis kicks everywhere and just lazy Insipid performances. Kicks directly to opponent time and again. I reckon they Thought it’d be an easy game and that we could clean up our inaccuracies like we have previously.
Nope not today.
They did not tackle with any kind of purpose and if I watch one more Carlton player trying to tackle and running past I’m going to barf.
Betts hurt something bad early on so was a no show from there. Cripps up forward didn’t work but that’s ok they had to try.
I think having JSOS as our fill in Ruck took his pressure away from the FWD line ans with no betts it was bomb it in long, no H so no one marked then Betts injured and no JSOS meant no pressure.
Dow does some good things but again kills momentum time and agai. With kicks direct to oppo. Same as Newman.
Pissed off today, had we started with real hard intent and accuracy we would’ve gone away with it I don’t doubt.
Williams has whst pulled another farking hamstring? Where do we find these injury ridden souls?
Also what is HOTB anymore? Please someone tell me as time and again our plays rotate them 3-4 times and nup still that’s fine! Irritating.
Out of the rabble I thought Cripps and Jack Martin were our best.
I’m Just about over Cottrell, willo, Owies, Kennedy, Dow.
Weiters had a shitter,
TDK has class ans will hopefully be great foe us
Watching the final few games for Murph now, surely they’ll let him play out the year and get his 300.

We did that last year as I recall. A similarly razor thin chance was blown.
I don't know what to think to be honest. All I know is we have an interesting few weeks ahead as the review progresses. That, like today's game, may put us ahead of Pies in the disgraced club stakes.

Losing does that, deflates motivation. And our motivation is fragile enough to begin with. Noble knew that, and other things, about us and coached accordingly. We were obliterated long before players looked tired. The Kangabies came out after half time with even more endeavour... which the scoreboard reflected.

Covid did us a favour... none of us could be at the ground to sit through that spiritless 2nd half.

Yes, Eddie seemed particularly pleased with our performance.

Half expected a loss with what we put out there. Didn't expect that 2nd half.
We don't have that inner drive to consistently play with intensity every week. We did it for a few weeks after the bye but the motivation isn't there to keep doing it. External motivation was there, a shot at the 8, but the problem is the players have to care enough.
Reminded me of the Gold Coast game in 2012. Had to win to make the finals and we showed a complete lack of effort. Stamped Ratten's papers, something we have paid for ever since. We need to get to the root of the problem in the club otherwise nothing is fixed. We will continue to waste year after year.
