We lose to these “St Kildas” every year because some unheralded up and comer with a bad haircut has a breakout game and kicks 3 or 4 goals which ultimately proves the difference.
We will agree to disagree because in my view neither the midfield nor talls lost us the match its the quality of craft of small forwards. Cant win with 15 players on the field and these three amigos have had enough chances.

Same old rubbish, hasn't changed in a generation. Nobody runs, nobody cares, can't kick to team mates, can't kick goals from in front, don't have any passion, don't have any thrills, nobody wants to kick goals, nobody has a red hot go, nobody takes on the game, nobody takes responsibility nobody cares so why should we. There was a story today about the breakdown in relations between SOS and Carlton. I don't care who is right or wrong but the self indulgence is mind blowing. It is typical of the culture that is at the Club. Individual first, team second or maybe third.
There is no game plan if you can't kick it to your team mates. Jack, Harry, Charlie and Cripps all missed goals they could have or could have kicked. Small forwards had chances to kick goals but turned back to hand the ball off, Players get the ball free in the middle of the ground and either have no one to kick it to, hold the ball up, go sideways or kick nowhere to no one.
Thank God Sayer's sacked the Coach and sacked the CEO otherwise we might be in trouble. This season has all the hallmarks of 2012.

When you fall 4 goals short, shanking 4 set shots inside 50 and only kick 2 second half goals from plenty of chances, then to me, you can blame whatever you want, but converting cost us dearly because above the shoulders is important.

Yes, I agree. Scoreboard pressure always helps. Charlie 3.3, Jack 2.3, Harry 1.2, Cripps 2 behinds etc. Cripps' kicking was really improving over the last couple of years. Seems to have gone backwards a little.

Yep, he's off with his kicking, no doubt about that.

Stkilda had problems converting too, Membrey missed a few easy ones by his standards early and given the amount of ball we had we never generated enough shots on goal and it was our method more than bad goalkicking that let us down.

Imagine if Tom Papley had managed to move to Carlton a few years back. Oh, what might have been …

Making the eight is a pipedream, we blew it last year. Brownlow medallist, a host of blokes in AA form and they FORKED IT UP. Panicked when some smarts was required...and everyone thought we would just roll in the next year and make the eight. What an effing joke of a "professional" sporting club.
I had reservations about Voss being appointed and I'm yet to be impressed. Ticked off a club legend in the process and burned many bridges.
Funny how that bogus "review" tipped out a coach, yet the majority of the list survived and there were relatively few other changes about the club. And real changes are required, ot shuffling the deck chairs.
Roll into '23 and have blokes looking disinterested, half fit or playing like their tiktok accounts matter more to them than the jumper. If we were serious we'd drop at least four of these passengers but our MC lack the stones, and have done so for years.
Our problems run deep. Real deep.
