Re: Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne - BluePhantom - 05-21-2016
No way am I blaming the umps for losing, they were the better team by far BUT, ALL the tiggy touchwood 50/50 type decisions were to them.
The Bronx cheers were not for any reason.
The amount of times North got away with doing exactly the same thing where we just before gave away a free kick was mind blowing.
Bl&@dy Goldstein is the new untouchable and that little pr$ck Thomas can go back to his acting school and FO.
Also it looks like Waite was doing a Henderson in his last couple of years at the Blues, just going through the motions masquerading as a player for us. Glad those types have gone.
Certainly leaves a bad taste in... Pffft Free kick North Melbourne.

Given that Goldstein dominated and they have very good experienced midfielders who take full advantage of him that's stating the bleeding obvious, we can thank our lucky stars that there was no Wells.
The midfield was one thing but our forward structure was virtually non existent and until we take steps to fix it we will continue to be exposed.
Casboult makes it better and straightens us up to some degree but he's no Wayne Carey or Buddy Franklin, or even a Drew Petrie.

Our midfield should be our strength.
Two number 1 draft picks and a star in his third year.
Yes Goldstein dominated but plenty of teams shark the opposition ruckman.
It was just too hot in the kitchen for a couple of our guys.
Reality hits.
They should be in their prime but they just ain't tough enough.
Scott was correct yesterday when he said Carlton is a myth.
Our list is made up of plenty of pick 1s, pick 2s and first rounders and to top it off, we aren't that young.
We have to stop making excuses.
Our "stars" are not good enough to match it with the stars of the comp.

I said that before the teams were even picked.
Needed to stop the ball getting into the North forward line....we didn't....we lost.

I will take it is a reality check if we had all our players available and on 7 days break like North. Until then a loss against an undefeated team is ok.
Goldstein gave his mids first use of the ball net 35 times in the game... this is domination.

Beating Collingwood was good, but they were off the boil.
Beating port was a significant achievement but again, they are just going this season.
The Bombers are a misnomer, and Freo are the worst side in the competition bar none.
Four in a row is a reward for effort but we have a lot of work to do.

Yes, simply that! Our defence was then exposed to the full wrath of the North forwards, no hope then.

I think it has been over the years our coaching and footy dept setup that can't match it with the competition! :o
