Walsh, Weeters, Docherty, McGovern - maybe Daisy, Samo, and Fisher at a pinch.

yep, around 4 or 5 of 22, which means that the pies have around 18 better players on the field than Carlton. Wouldn't be a walk in the park coaching a side with that profile after turning over 70% of the list over the last 36 months.

We need to keep this in perspective

I’m pretty sure that if i lined up we’d be losing by more

Yep, same here. I'd get the same answer that Parko gave Diesel when he first tried out for the club, "too fat, too slow and not good enough."

[Baggers]

How many Carlton players other than Cripps would make Collingwood's team? Once you've answered that, you'll see BB's problem

Impossible to speculate as so few of our players play with confidence and composure, whereas so many of the Rottingwood players play with confidence, composure and assurance... they know what they're doing, on the same page.

A more relevant question might be, how many of Collingwood's really good players would play well at Carlton? Very few, I bet.

Yes agree. Also, we need to be mindful that some of the others are still young and developing.

[Professer E]

But you'd give it your absolute level best Paul,  you'd have a serious bloody go.  You wouldn't leave anything on the park.

Sorry, mate, very poor logic.

Sorry, mate, very poor logic.

Indeed, our kids are 20-22 theirs, in general, 2-4 years older....

It takes an extraordinary talented football team to find so many ways to lose, to snatch so often defeat from the jaws of victory.

Be interesting to see Juddy (who is BBs boss) mock, snide and deride honest questions about how a seemingly talented group of players can be so rudderless and deeply fragmented.

Sad fact is that very few supporters are actually surprised by today's monumental cock-up.

Well, there is only one side in the competition, winless. No hiding now. No getting off lightly.

But BB does continue to deliver on his brief to eliminate hidings, keeping losses to a minimum.

Even a pack of amateurs can put clumsy pressure on us and we fold.

Baggers I could see how it was going to play out and it did. Dumb is the best word to describe how our blokes play, we find a way to manufacture a loss, its unbelievable. The non mark to Jones was a disgrace but as soon as the ball went deep in their fwd line I knew one of the following was going to occur:
- Give away a stupid free kick in front of goal
- We would push the ball out of the pack to their advantage
- We would leave blokes unattended deep and close to goal.
Zero pressure on the fwds, free Suns players everywhere. Zero awareness, zero attention to detail. FFS surely they practice and drill that scenario and should know what to do. Our defenders played well all day but they should have "called the play" to all the players who came in to help. Get  shoulder to shoulder with every fwd, its basic stuff.
Our method of play is shambolic. The fwd line is dysfunctional, unstructured and clueless ATM. They cant make decent position or present to the ball carrier resulting in the ball carrier having no option but to bomb it in in hope. They seem to push up the ground and then not get back in time. We continue to miss sitters. If Teague is in charge of it he needs to go or give the line to another coach. Its embarrassing.

I’d like Kreuzer to ruck solo the whole match, but it’s likely he isn’t match fit yet and needs Cas to spend a fair bit of time in the middle. Luckily the dogs have a weak ruck division.

English beat Grundy on Friday night, he's very promising
