Re: Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers - kruddler - 07-10-2015
Not having much luck with injuries at the moment.
Last week we lose Cripps and Everitt and Rowe pre-game.
This week we still don't get Rowe back, lose Jamo in the first 10 minutes...Gibbs looks like he hurt his pec, Murphy is carrying a hip/stomach/rib injury. White hyperextended his knee....and i think someone else went down at some stage.
This, together with our awful efforts in front of goal has cost us 2 weeks in a row.

Does this mean we are not far off the mark? :o

I think that we are actually starting to get a true feel of how good/bad our list is, as they are now, as a group, obviously trying.
The next step is to grow the depth of the club, as we are showed up when our best 22 aren't around - no club ever has them all available.
Tonight, as per the last few weeks, effort and endeavour have generally been fine. Skills and decision making on the other hand...
Re: Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-10-2015
Pathetic effort and probably a coach killer..never looked in the game and our skills were deplorable...
Richmond intimidated us physically..Martin and Vickery frighten our blokes and have for the past few seasons..
Reiwoldt and Vickery had it easy but I'm not blaming the undersized White and newbie Fields...the latter was ok IMO and looks a promising player
unless we continue to play him on blokes who are much bigger like the thug Vickery.
Everitt pulled the handbrake on a couple of contests and should be dropped but wont be as he is one of our few players with some decent skills..
Henderson was weak and hopeless down forward and Rance smashed him in the air and on the ground..anyone who thinks Henderson is a better forward than backman needs to go to specsavers...
Menzel was a non event, weak attack on the ball and tries to look for the easy outside kick too much instead of initiating play...
Yarran as a defender is hopeless.....too weak in the air and too soft in the head to have anywhere the goals you are trying defend..he has zero interest and will be on the trade market...
Kruezer tried hard and earned his money although his old mate Hampson was his equal....
Murphy tried but just gets hammered every week and will be punchy by the end of season if he keeps getting clobbered...he got some footy but didnt impact much..
Gibbs the human man bun was just ok but nothing special..and soft at times, lacks impact when he has the ball and doesnt create enough for his mates..
Buckley...showed some courage and battled on...
Tutt.....my German Shepherd would have more idea about laying a tackle and dragging a player down.......how many more years do we have to go with Tutt?
Simpson....just went and was under pressure most of the night...
Bell......very ordinary ineffectual evening..
Curnow..worked/ran hard but his kicking is woeful
Wood....battled but ineffectual like most of his teammates..
Holman.....attacks the ball ok but raw in terms of nous but does contest well..
Carrazzo...not our worst and looked more assured than most...
Armfield...didnt get near the footy most of the night and when he did was poor..
Casboult...couple of goals with some straight kicks but is hopeless at ground level and needs to work harder..
Cripps....went ok but had no help and the Tigers gave him the treatment like they did Murphy but the young bloke has the size to absorb
the punishment and was one of our better players IMO....
Jamo...cleaned up off the ball by the thug Vickery who should get a long lay off but probably wont......
Umpiring.....biased, inconsistent, and had no idea for the entire game, paid frees and marks that were not there and missed the obvious ones...
They did look after Trent Cotchin though and I hope he is buying them dinner this week as they looked after him very well

Good teams win.
Bad teams highlight excuses.

...and just reported that Armfield may have a broken arm.

An ugly, ugly game that was not helped by the appalling umpiring, but having said that, some of our players find new ways to embarrass themselves every time they step out on the park. Here are a few primes examples:
Carrazzo - 25 metres out to put us within 18 points and put pressure on the Tigers and maybe some belief in his team mates. Instead of kicking truly, he shanks it like a typical Carrazzo effort and is lucky to score a behind
Tutt - 20 metres out directly in front. Could start some momentum for the team. Hmmmm, nah, not for Tutt, he thinks a behind will better service our needs. Should never wear the Carlton Guernsey again. I've seen enough! It's not pretty and not going to get any better
Yarran - Turn over merchant extraordinaire. Fu(k me, if you don't want to play, just fu(kin' leave. You will save alot of peoples televisions from being destroyed. In fact, just p!ss off! You only play when you want to, not when the team needs you. Silky skills my ar5e!
Hendo - My God! Has Rance got photos of you in a compromising position? You do realise he IS the opposition and you're there to provide a contest. Geelong can have him, I've seen enough
Bryce - Just the name now incites anger within me. I immediately think flog and turnover merchant. When was the last time you hit a target? Another 4 more years of this tripe to look forward to.... Greeeeat, I'm definitely looking forward to your electrifying attack on the ball and team play............. <sarcasm off>
That is just a snippet that comes to mind, there was so much more and I'm sure I could have written a 50 page essay outlining the short comings of this team. I can't remember the skills of a side being that bad. This is below VFL level and it's not like the Tigers were putting on massive pressure. Imagine what's going to happen when we play Fremantle.
The club will need to provide diapers instead of undies before they go out onto the ground otherwise there's going to be one huge bio-hazard to clean up from every CFC player crapping themselves every time the ball is near.
I'm so over this and sick of starting off my weekend having watched the crap they've dished up. Apart from Cripps, they're all tradeable as far as I'm concerned. A bigger pack of softco(cks you will not see in your lifetime. I'm officially embarrassed to be a supporter of this club.
Re: Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers - MosquitoFleet - 07-10-2015
Whilst richmond are not top 4 imo...its a good side and our list has been exposed...guys like fields holman buckley must be perservered...
Where do we start?
We cant have a defence of thouy buckley and simmo...too small light for all 3...
Carozzo...stamp papers
Menzel...put a godam rocket up.him....no intensity nor elite fitness
Henderson...very soft at times with no strength when marking
Kruezer ...great around ground but was beat by hampson in ruck
Murphy. ..was targeted...I have great respect for our captain...we need some hard nut to protect.him more....
Re: Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers - pertz - 07-10-2015
Bloody well said Spanner, couldn't agree with you more.
We are definately one of if not the softest teams in the comp. It would not surprise me if Brycey boy has feigned his pec injury so he does not have to face the Hawks and Freo and embarrass himself with his soft c €$k game.
PS Pinning a guys arms and slinging him to the ground head first does not make you a tough player.
