It must take a certain level of class to go from 31 points ahead to a loss by 31 points in the end. Must be looking so much like a bottom 4 side now. The Eagles will help with that in the next game.

Try 31-Aug-2003 North Melbourne vs Carlton - we lost by 124 points with players openly arguing with each other on the field. North players were laughing at us (as were the fans).

that was pretty stanky fer sure. i'm gonna say just the one positive thing. even the best teams put out a stinker every so often. that was certainly one of ours. almost to a man.
i agree with TDK & Fisher coming in.
willo has looked shaky for a few weeks, but i'm pretty confident he'll get better, has lots of tools and always looks interested.
setterfield, kennedy, newnes, sps, cuningham all had their worst games of the year, sadly all on the same day. slaughtered in the midfield. crippa tried to break his form slump but botched it.
i just think the hawks wanted it more tonight. anyone who says otherwise has a point, but i disagree. they were stung as i mentioned pregame, and had an injection of 4 class players. i saw this one coming.

Every game so far this round one side has been really flat and horrible to say the least.

It's the next day, and so frustrated about this that sleeping has been impossible, I'm posting embarassing gibberish and dragging this site down, so apologies to all..... Gotta go for a walk and take a break. Going to ban myself for a while, best wishes to you all in these uncertain times, may we all come out stronger in the long run.

My point was we are dumb. Fking dumb.
What team gives a second game to a bloke that was gifted a game last week and had one effective disposal.
All while TDKs form warrants selection.
Can’t make any sense of that selection.
Anyhow we saw tonight how far away we still are.

We’re all in this together (the shared pain of being a Blues supporter, not COVID).
Those frauds spoilt my Friday pizza night. Again.
“Gibberish” is a word I’d use to describe the last 3 quarters. Clarkson wrote the script on how to beat Carlton. I think Teague *is* developing his own playbook and style, but he’s yet to learn to tweak it to counteract particular strengths of other clubs. Hawks cut us up (as usual) with gut running & long passing. When they switched play on some occasions last night you could see 3 or 4 knackered blue boys out of position jogging across to try and catch their men.
As others have said, lack of on field leadership and the need for another elite mid remains our Achilles heel.

Chin up ol boy, the sun came up today as it will tomorrow, don't stress over it, there are way more important things in life than a game of footy.

As for Cripps trying to show boat and use that blistering speed and those dancing feet of his all the time, embarrassing. And dont gimme any of that "he's trying to do it all himself" rubbish. Real leadership is when you win the footy then bring others into the game by getting it out quick. Crippa will be right disappointed with his game last night.

Or R17, 2015 : Hawks 27.11 (173), Blues 4.11 (35). This was after John Barker had "unshackled" the players, and they certainly played with gay abandon.
