I don't think it was a Bolton thing, just a lazy attitude thing.
We finish with pick 4/5 and can turn over some absolute suburban footballers on our list.
We can get hung up about it being Essendon but who cares. They done themselves out of a number 1 pick.
In this even draft its probably not such a big deal anyway having No 1 pick...its not about losing either, its the pathetic way we get bullied, and how they know we are scared and lack confidence when playing them......they have got us bluffed and it wouldnt matter if they had 40 players suspended we would still be rattled by the sight of the red and black jumper...its embarrassing losing to them in the state they are in.....

From today's match, Graham, Jones, Thomas and Armfield. Gone
Walker and Jammo. Retired.
Tutt, Wood, Smith, Foster, Dick, Gorridge, Everitt. Move on
Elevate Jesse Glass and the two Irish.
There is a difference between who we think SHOULD be axed and who can practically be dumped.
You could name another 6 who should go....but it doesn't work like that.

And to think we had only 1 player in today's NBs game good enough for elevation to the senior side (NBs defeated by cheats.com.au by about 67 pts).

The boys were just very happy with themselves after last week. And it showed!! They showed what they should have done all day in the last quarter. Bloody disgraceful and disrespectful of the members and coaching staff.

Are we the only team to lose to Brisbane AND Essendon this year??? I'd say so.......

Yeah but talk about a Catch-22 situation - this club sucks the life out of you whilst talking about plans, rebuilds, and green shoots. Tired. So tired.

Yep - agree with this JoFo......expected no effort would get them maximum reward, well & truly infected with the Melbourne fat-head virus.

. Blues end season on a low
It certainly wasn't the way Carlton wanted to end the year. After winning just four games last season and claiming the wooden spoon, the Blues have been rejuvenated in 2016 under the tutelage of Brendon Bolton. Defensively Carlton has been much improved, with the Blues only conceding 100 points on six occasions prior to Saturday. But against the Bombers they were poor. They stepped up their intensity in the final quarter, kicking four goals to one but it was too little, too late. The Blues finished the year with seven wins, a big improvement, but there were far too many passengers against Essendon. At three-quarter time there were 12 Blues with 10 touches or less, including Dale Thomas in his 200th game.
per afl.com
Succinct and on the money. Oh and with that many passengers, no team will win. That phenomenon certainly begs to be what is learned from this game. Fix that and..... well, we'll see.

Seriously - how bad is Daisy Thomas!?!?!? If he decides to honour his contract by playing on next year, he's a selfish pr!ck......Pies supporters are pi$$ing themselves. Arguably the most useless bloke out there today - what the hell is his role? Does he have an opponent? Opposition teams don't even bother putting any work into him....why would they?
And not understanding the love for Dylan Buckley either.....plays the occasional good game (and the word 'occasional' is being generous), another with no football brain, no feel for the game, is a deer caught in headlights with the ball in his hands & is generally a poor user of the ball.....what's the point of having a bloke like that in your team? Where's the benefit? He's been in the system long enough to show that he's not up to it....and he ain't.
