Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast

[Baggers]

Good press conference from Bolton.

Little tiresome the 'sack the coach' rhetoric. Some smarter decisions and some better kicking would have seen us win. We are getting better very slowly and its frustrating to keep racking up the losses, but this is a long game. Turning over the players we have is going to take a long time to bear fruit.  Not sure how the howlers from our experienced players an be laid at the feet of the coach.

Respectfully disagree, Vivian. Same old, same old... and isn't it his job, especially into his 4th year, to ensure we ensure the very basics are done well?

What I did find fascinating is that he pumped up the tyres of Dale Amos as the defensive coach yet singled out a disconnect between midfield and forward line (which looked pretty spot on). Did he just tell us that there is an issue with the midfield coach? With the forward line coach? With their relationship... With his relationship with one of them or both?

Execution aside,their decision making is just diabolical.

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

How is losing the hitouts 60-6 and disposals 23-17 beating someone?

Dew is honest and has a GSOH - called the game, or parts of it, The Benny Hill Show and concedes the Suns were lucky to win.

Murph must be mentoring young Paddy....

That's why he needs to go.

I never pay attention to stats, watching the game I thought that English at least halved the contest.
I'd like to see him in a Carlton jumper, put it that way.

Yes, must have missed that!

At 205cm, he's now the required height. Good mover, clean with the ball and a nice kick.... clearly not our type

So true. I'm starting to wonder whether Silvagni as head of recruiting is now a bust. Judge these selections:

SPS - majorly underwhelming nothing player
Dow - f##k me, Murphy and Gibbs level of turn over. Everything he touches turns to sh!t
O'Brien - what does he offer other than never hitting a target by over kicking it
Kennedy - Who? Is he ever fit?
C Curnow - Wow! Talk about believing you're own press. His nick name needs to be changed to the juggler. Never have I seen such a high draft pick other than Dow and Murphy double grab everything whenever the ball goes near him
Lang - yeah, it made me laugh when we traded for him too.
Plowman - a Backman guaranteed to have a minimum of two massive turn overs kicking across goal a game. Should be instructed to never kick the ball. Horrid!

His drafting seems to focus in on a player's ability to turn over the pill at will. Truly impressive and about time he is called out. I don't mind that he has traded out dead wood like Gibbs and others, but f##k me, with the volume of high draft picks he's had both here and the Giants, you gotta say there are a truck load of misses during his tenure at both clubs.

To be honest he's done marginally better than the previous pack of idiots and they at least snagged Cripps at 13.
