Yes terrible game, stayed until the end as have taught the kids you have to stay until the end. Cats supporters were pretty quiet really so it wasn't too annoying.
I still have faith in BB and the boys. We do need some
Big bodies out there tho, I don't know if the navy blue is just particularly slimming but our boys did look like little kids next to the Cats, including our Snr players!
Also realised today, none of our boys take on the game anymore - no running bounces to get closer to the 50 - of course when I thought it, Fish went ahead and did it! But that run seems gone from our game - is that just youth running out of puff?
Charlie really seems Something special. Hope MK is ok and would laugh is Danger went for it.
Oh and absolutely loathe Tuohy and Hendo - makes My blood boil that they'll be playing finals. Fuckers.

The rot stems from the top - Murphy is a soft leader, Gibbs his equal, arguably not a peanut of a leader...
Our midfield is embarrassing.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Loved Samo and Charlie tonight though, Harry's two goals showed his class. There are some positives in a largely forgettable game. 20 disposals and game high 10 tackles. Did well the kid, unfortunately had no mates. CC tried hard, H showed glimpses of the future. The midfield needs sooooooo much work. We can go to the draft obviously but its going to take a few years to fix (ie more drafting and development of what young mids we already have). Cunners would want to get a wriggle on and find some consistency or he will find himself on the scrap heap sooner than he realises. I am not suggesting he needs to single handedly needs win us games as he is just a kid, but he needs to show a hell of a lot more in a side screaming for midfield effort.

Didn't see the game, but not overly surprised by the result.
My question is, with Cripps and Curnow out, why aren't the likes of Palmer and Smedts getting a game? It's times like now, late in the season when we have a few injuries that they should be useful additions to the team.
Not great form in the VFL probably hasn't helped them, but it's disappointing......

Good post.
We drafted these guys for his exact situation and yet they still can't crack a game.

Extremely disappointed with Cunners meagre 6 posessions in a game where he had to help out stand and be counted in the middle.
The game plan is wrong. 98 handballs is an awful worry. We don't share it around.

Is that 3 injuries in 2 years for Dangerfield v Carlton?
Murphy, Judd and Kruezer.
Any chance we ever, ever, ever do anything about it?

My thoughts exactly JH, that's why I was so p!ssed when Casboult failed to nail a couple standing in his space. While we let blokes like Danger lord it over us we will remain irrelevant - we have zero respect. We have to earn it the hard way.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?
