Betts is finished. Casboult is so down he'd drop a pie. Useless.
So ducking angry right now.
Wonder if they'll purge my post again (as usual) for been honest and realistic. Anyway, here we go. The issue with Carlton is a simple one. We have a 'training wheels' coach who is struggling. There is no plan 'b'. Shut down the run and gun, and we go to water. That is a system issue. Secondly Silvangni... he butchered about 5 top ten picks in the painful rebuild. Dow, Seton, Mackay?, Obrien, Cunners, Stocker, etc.etc. the list goes on. That is why he was sacked. But too late for us. So that is a personnel issue. Thirdly, we keep holding on to the players that create the 'losing culture'. They are the senior players such as Murphy, Simpson, Kernow etc.etc. that have known nothing more than losing throughout their illustrious careers. They need to go. That is a cultural issue. Finally, the board. We will not accept that we are not moving in the right direction. We simply aren't. The club will be in the doldrums for another 10 years. It is a Terry Wallace 'rebuild of a rebuild.

Results are all over the shop and being influenced by so many different factors.
The season is wrong for so many reasons.
The shortened game times.
Short breaks between games.
Players away from home, family and routine.
Hub life and the distractions.
The lack of a proper second tier competition to allow players to develop or even maintain match fitness when not in the senior side.
Virtually no time for training between games.
The sooner it's over the better.
I'd send Cripps home.
He's broken physically...and has other issues that must be playing on his mind..
In a normal season such a move would be unthinkable but I don't think many would begrudge him the break.
Anyone in the hub that hasn't had a game needs to be given a taste.
Now the chances of finals are no longer a consideration let them loose and tell them to take the game on.

Some of the stuff was hard to watch. The bit of play were Willo and Jones stuffed it up deep in defence by waiting for the other to go only for the GWS fwd to pick it up and kick the goal was embarrassing. Another was two on one in our favour and Hill (I think) out marks them and kicks the goal. Hard to watch that. On a couple of occasions, our players stood waiting for the ball instead of attacking it only to have it intercepted and taken away. I guess our ladder position reflects where we are at, we didnt deserve to make the 8.

Hard to imagine another win.

So angry.... So confused... So uncertain where this list is going.
For starters, I've never seen so many blokes simply drop off the cliff, it's like any sense of form and spirit has evaporated. They're physically on the field, but hardly contributing when there.
I'd be making wholesale changes, we need to who we need to preserve with - we know what a lot of this crew can and can't do, the old blokes are cooked and too many others are fried. Others are taking the piss attitude-wise and need to be rooted out.
Cripps is the classic example. We all know he's a quality player, but right now he's a liability, playing like he's broken. Why? WTF is the club doing about it? Why persist with him in this state? I could name 20 others.... Its bewildering the way they've dropped away, totally unfathomable.

Two weeks in a row we've missed easy goals due to rubbish skill errors, ignoring BTs commentary bullcrap about how hard it is to kick across your boot on the run which only muddies the thought process with fantasy.
I hope that the club has set Betts to spend some time with guys like McKay and Martin to iron out those little glitches and it will add 10 goals a season to both players!
But there is worse. Last night two or three times I watched GWS run down or close out our ball carriers by running right past Carlton team-mates unhindered, it's will be clear as day on the replay. On one occasion it was Casboult spectating, on two others it was Williamson. Both players made zero effort to hinder the approaching GWS player and both times it either cost us a easy goal or awarded GWS an easy goal. No opponent should ever get a clear run past one of our players towards a team-mate, ever! It basically cost us the game!

What last night and last week taught us is when the whips are cracking in a finals type game and the pressure mounts, we aren't good enough. Two weeks in a row, too many non contributors, we cant have that. Two weeks in a row, virtually no score in the second half. Blame it on the shorter qtrs, hub, blame it in players being tired, homesick, injured, whatever. I dont buy it, its the same for everyone. Two weeks in a row, brain fades, skill errors (or lack off) and too many passengers cost us games. GWS only needed 1 fair dinkum qtr to put us away. As I said earlier, I reckon our group (coaches included) will find that one hard very to watch.

I can't work out who is wearing some numbers?
Like no. 11? Who the fu$k is that out there. Did someone win a raffle to get a game with Carlton? $hame on you for embarra$$ing that great no.
Also no. 5? Now you see him now you don't.
And no. 2? WTF?
Need a BONAFIDE full fwd. Harry (i can mark but kicks like shit) McKay is not the one. I hear Tex from Adel is looking for a kick?

BP....those numbers in the backs of the players (2, 5 & 11) are paid for by members.
Members who are over paying the wages of players who play like they don't give a f.....
