They had 16 on the ground and outscored us 7 goals to 1 in the last qtr. That you don't have patience with. That's a sacking.
Yes that's right. Disgusting effort. Walked out at the 10 min mark of the last 1/4. Listened to the reminder of the match on the way home and they were panning us left right and centre.'It was embarrassing and soul crushing.

interestingly GWS had 18 fit players but decided to rest and rotate players hence they player 16-17 throughout the last qtr. They treated us like idiots and we embarrassed ourselves in the process like at no other time that I can remember.

Agree...taking two off at once for a hammy rub is total disrespect....

Yep
But I guess you get the level of respect you earn (or deserve.)
16 v 18 (22) will be a story this week.
How the players respond will be the test of them.

Dear Seven Network, here is the script for next Thursday's opening segment of The Front Bar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opening credits and visual intro.
Intro by AM (wait for applause).
Banter (AM, SP, MM): Wow! What an amazing round of football! 5 games decided by less than a goal - first time in over 100 years of AFL/VFL football.
MM (graphical overlay - results on screen): Beginning Friday night - Richmond by 3 points, then Hawthorn by 4, North Melbourne by 3, Crows by 3, Swans by 2, then Giants by 5 over Carlton. Oh wait, that shouldn't be there - it was actually 105 points (pause for laughter from audience).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please transfer agreed fee to enclosed bank a/c.
Yours sincerely

The club admin should make sure all the players are sacked, then sack themselves and then, and then, the board should go as well. And then, with what's left, they should hire some new people and then sack them and... :-X
Pleasing to see measured responses on the board. We have been hammered by injury and have a list that is bottoming out. GWS meanwhile have depth and have played in prelims the past two years and should make the GF. They are peaking and the pounding we got is the sign of a team on a mission. If they get to a GF against Richmond, it will be a great clash of contrasting styles. I would back GWS - precision kicking trumps mad pressure.
Good to see McKay, SPS, Dow play well. They are the future, and lots to look forward to. Curnow and McKay could be the dominant forward duo in a couple of years - akin to Franklin-Roughhead at their peak.

GWS will be tested by the Richmond physical pressure........the men in orange are highly skilled, great athletes but lack a bit of mongrel......they played the little Carlton auskickers today and got some bruise free footy, that wont happen in the finals.

It was weird today. 16,697 at Etihad is small. However, as bad as Carlton were, it didn't seem as bad as it was. GWS were excellent and played some great footy. What we've been complaining about this year, GWS did the opposite. Hit targets, played to the team's advantage, didn't handball/kick/run straight into us and were clean.
They had players where the ball was going and didn't have to kick and hope very often. When we had a lot of time and space, we would find a way to handball it to our teammates feet, or land it short. They had players at the back of a scrum who just managed to take possession and use it. We had players outside of the scrum and fumbled, so we would lose possession. (This is our run of the mill skill set)
I almost feel for O'Shea. He is the opposite of King Midas.
It was interesting that I noticed for the first time that the players on the interchange bench is shown on the screen above the bench. It seemed that Kennedy, Graham, Thomas, Byrne and Polson had the most time off the ground.
Games played from our 'players of the future' who were out there today + a couple that have been in the system a little longer, but not played much (eg Lamb, Lang)
Dow 17
O'Brien 14
SPS 38
Kennedy 30
Cripps 78
McKay 12
Lamb 62
Lang 51
Marchbank 31
Polson 9
Charlie 43
Pickett 15
Byrne 18
The most experienced player of the future is Cripps with 78, and 8 of those 13 have played the equivalent of 2 full seasons - but we expect them to be like Cripps. If 50 games is getting it together as a player, then we still have a way to go.
The players, who aren't our future - some will/will not be at the club next year
Murphy
Simpson
Rowe
O'Shea
Lobbe
Graham
E Curnow
Thomas
Wright (does he have a groin issue - his kicking is not nearly what it was)
