2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[Lods]

Lods, the season is 2 weeks old.

And Bolton's tenure is two years old.
As I said...he's not done and dusted but he is now very much accountable.

And to say we have Kruezer out or we’ve just lost Gibbs or Doch is out - That should have ZERO bearing on pressure Ffs! You don’t have to be the most elite player but you should always be able to apply pressure! Richmond won a premiership on pressure!!

The amount of times I saw a Number of CFC players stand around while GC scooped up the ball And ran off was pathetic - Not good enough. How is it that Cripps continuously is able To apply pressure but no one else is?

I like Bolts and has faith but I’m over watching that shite

So, if for example, we finish last, or bottom 4, you think he should be sacked ?

I've posted before that there are people on the inside that do not want BB to succeed. They see AFL coaching as a right of passage which should be exclusively for past players.

But the AFL want him to succeed, primarily as a method of cost control, because they are very concerned about burgeoning wages for past player / coaches.

If the AFL want BB to succeed they are going a very funny way about it, because we look like a rabble!

PS; The team played today like they had just heard Kreuzer is out for the season!

Lods, the season is 2 weeks old.

And it's over already. Again.

I don't think Lods is saying that is what he wants, he's writing about what he thinks might happen, not what he wants to happen!

His logic is sound, we have a history!

The hardest part of fixing the rot is identifying it, it looks like so far we've cut away some fairly healthy timber!

[PaulP]

And it's over already. Again.

Over relative to what though ? Playing finals ? That was never an option anyway. I believed that we would finish 13-16, and I stand by that.

[LP]

Progress!

If today was our game plan to cover the loss of Kreuzer, it did very very well at exposing Charlie, perhaps he's been identified by the MC as our next Weitering.

It's like the roof is falling, and our only tactic is to keep breaking our best straws to try and fix it!

Poor effort today, I believe started with the selection process. Poulsen hadn't demanded a game at NB's so what would have been the difference in playing MacKay especially as it would have allowed us to similar balance to last week. Kruzer great lost , second efforts and intensity , everything we didn't have today. Based upon the effort today if we have an injury to a key player we are really going find it tough. Lacked leadership, intensity & spirit at times. Weiter, I am at a loss, never seen a player go back ward so quick. Our lack of basic skills was highlighted today, a disorganised rabble. Our inability to create positive forward entries to hit a target is country league standard. Simple skill errors not being able to string together 3-4 disposals made it easy for the the Suns . Our lack of vision when looking for targets must make it hard for any one who is a forward. Jones , is being found out ATM, with his style of play, but with the lack of support , is caught out.

Then any pretence to the New Carlton is a complete sham, and we should just go back to coaching and playing messiahs, "we are Carlton.........." and giving people the flick after 5 minutes.
