Teague isn't going to survive that, like Ratten wasn't in 2012. Best we start looking I suppose so we get in ahead of Collingwood. Start at Don Pyke. Let's see if we can kill his career off.
Absolutely rotten to the core, soulless rabble. And it's way deeper than the coach and players.
I'm of the firm belief that the Pratt's and Mathison's are the poison that run thru the club.

The issue?
VFL at most clubs = Newnes, Plowman, Newman, LOB
Plus Fisher was putrid, Betts putrid, Dow putrid, Kennedy poor, etc etc the latter two too inconsistent
Plus our Captain won’t run back, Jack Martin can’t keep his feet and C Curnow can’t jump
50% of the starting 22. No hope.
All over for another year

Tbh it’s not surprising to me at all, that we lost that. When we played them earlier this year I recall we had the game but not convincingly.
That was so painful to watch, no intensity no care no grunt no toughness no care or cover for team mates.
Something needs to change and I don’t believe it’s the coach. It’s the guys on the field and their bloody expectations of each other. No one seems to care about winning or losing. They have just been riding out the year the past month, I don’t get it.

He gets murdered on transition and in general play.Been going on for a while, think Nathan Buckley started it a while back, rather than trying to stop Cripps you run a good player off him and hope he can cause more damage because Cripps is incapable of manning up on anyone as he is too slow. Cripps needs to learn how to play forward more so we can rotate more mids who can stop that ploy.

Wow i cant believe that effort could not ONE player fume like I was doing watching it and make a statement....fly the flag...say we want to win....like THEY did.There is no excuse for not manning up sticking a tackle making them earn a bloody kick not waltz through us like a bunch of arm waving flags.Looking at that last quarter even kicking down the line to nothing mind you gc muppets were engaging us to stop a lead and then peeling off as ball is kicked while we still wave our arms around. We have no confidence thus we lose skills lose our faith in who is doing what 2 players go into tackle loose man outside see ya later...is that coaching I just dont dont know we need leaders on the ground that bust a gut but moreso inspire confidence that all will be ok..Touk Miller anyone? This mob has just about done me in Ias I have to finally admit I cant see where the change will come from nothing really in the twos to look forward to no quick always just a freakin struggle every game with the media circus sucking us down every chance and other clubs supporters loving our swimming in quicksand. Ive loved my bluebaggers for 50 +years but Im sorely tested to give anything to this club at the moment from top to bottom Unreliable.

Yep, unfortunately he isn't skilled, quick or crafty enough to play as a forward. Been a complete liability for the majority of the last two years.
Six years to go.

Like most, I was expecting a win today, but to be fair, GC has been up and down like a yo yo this season. Their good is pretty good. The only question for me was whether last week was the straw that broke the camel's back, or whether it would fire them up for this week. I guess now we know.
It certainly wasn't a one sided affair, but they were the better team in the end.
Maybe the boys have already been told Teague is on the way out.
Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 21: Carlton vs Gold Coast - 31Tommys_barber - 08-07-2021
Well I hope that solves the question of blokes like LOB! A few others can go too Like Newnes etc get some tougher players who thrive on the contest and hitting the packs, tackling by grinding a player into the ground letting them know they've been in a contest and earned every point. Doesn’t matter now get Murph to 300 and play anyone like Kemp etc who haven’t played and give them a taste even if they haven’t earned it or aren’t in the correct “training block”
Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 21: Carlton vs Gold Coast - PaulP - 08-07-2021
LoB's papers are probably stamped, but to be fair, we had plenty of average players today. He wasn't our worst by any stretch IMO.

There are a few things that I comment on EVERY GAME. When the opposition have the ball not a single Carlton player looks for an opposition player that is in a position to receive a pass and then run HARD to close that opportunity for them.
Every game, players (especially Weitering) do NOT look at their opponent when standing their mark but rather look at the umpire. This season it is easier to hear what the umpire is saying so there is no need to look at him for information but to just concentrate on the body and eyes of your opponent to give yourself a possible advantage.
Lack of speed to the ball. If a player gets to the ball first easily he has a great advantage over his opponents. If still hard pressed then you still have time to kick the ball off the ground.
Too many players left in the dark when being hard-chased. No team-mates yelling advice.
AND MANY OTHER SMALL DETAILS TO NUMEROUS TO LIST HERE.
