Right there is why Carlton is NFG!

Today is the problem for some of our "AFL" types, Werribee are the Dad's Army of the VFL, well drilled but still long standing has-beens who today showed up our 1/2-full side of 24x7 AFL types how to use the footy.

But he's not alone [member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member], and it's quite sad when you think about what we see today.
Luke Power is one of the nicest blokes in football, but he must be consider going postal after a game like today.
The problems we have existed long before any of the current coaches were in place, they've probably be appointed and tasked to implement a fix, but I can't see it happening with the players we've got. There is just no point sacking coaches when what we saw today is "The Talent" they have to work with!
I wonder what SOS will do it comes to pass that on a future occassion Ross the Boss tears his boy a new one?

Binns was a funny one.
I had the stats sheet open in a window alongside the coverage.
I'd take a look at it every now and then and see Binns had got another couple.
But I must have blinked, because I kept missing them.
Now with the limited cameras and coverage, and my poor eyesight, that's probably understandable.
But is he impacting with those possessions?

As fans we need to stop making excuses for these players, you might write off the incidents at AFL level due to the step up in pressure, but when you see the very same at VFL against a team that is represented by father time then our lot just aren't good enough!
Despite being ineffective, at least Motlop looks competitive at VFL level, but he needs a season of that to get his ship righted.
Cowans was good, probably our best defender.
Young guarded space and needs trading, he's not taking us forward as he's 200cm but plays like a outside back pocket.
Fisher was OK in a bruise free role but I can't see him displacing any of the current crew.
SoJ is in a world of pain.

A potential problem for our club, is that when we make such sarcastic statements I suspect there are numpties who believe it to be true!

I can't tell either, anymore

I only saw bits and pieces but from what I saw, Principal LODS was on the money with a team that looked like a team... too much individualism with our blokes. We didn't, again, adapt to the windy conditions from what I saw...
