Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[laj]

Its not about who has a future and who hasn't. If he:
a) isnt hitting his KPIs in the 2s
b) lacking confidence
what is getting belted and not getting a touch in the 1s gonna do for his confidence?

Right now, with the NBs kicking 4.6 he'd still have an easier time in the seniors. We developing, play him anyway for a game or two so he gets a taste of what's required to play at senior level.

You are suggesting it should be obvious yet they haven't played him once. Why do you think that is?

We might have secured another "rising star"nomination....for the opposition :

[Baggers]

What it is with these 2nd qtr capitulations? ???

Agree, should take them down into the change rooms at 1/4 time and make em' think it's the third quarter when they come back.

Could Murphy be any softer? What a piss poor effort from him today, especially when he pulled out of going with the flight of the ball. What a sh*t-house example for the young guys.

Soft, soft, f*ckin' soft!

He can't be made captain again and surely we could look at trading him at years end. I've had enough of his weak efforts. We could get some decent picks and continue with the rebuild. He's not giving the club anything. Nothing in the media, on field or anything else. Time to go Marc and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

By the way, you can take your mate Gibbs with you as well. Without Cripps the both of them couldn't win a hard ball to save themselves. Shows how much a 21 year old Cripps carries these two. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I realize you can argue that ad infinitum but others are getting games that you would put in the same category.  In the long run it won't do any harm. If the NB's were playing well and delivering the ball to him he would keep learning there but that's not happening so they're throwing him into the ruck against seasoned opponents which I would suggest is doing more damage than giving him a run in the 1's.

[Baggers]

Right now you'd have to be honest/realistic and admit that we have a 50-50 chance of winning one more game for the year (Lions).

Next 5 weeks will be all about working out who is staying and who is going next year.  Games will be given to check worth. About 6-8 will be exposed to see if they are exposed!!

[Professer E]

Which would give us six for the year Baggers.  Does this meet, exceed or represent a significant fail on expectations?

Now that injuries are starting to be a factor it is clear that we have zero depth in anything other than peripheral defensive areas.
