We are also in dire need of some experienced hard nosed and inspirational on field leadership.

He'll be in until McGovern comes back then will probably get dropped. Reason he's stayed in, and unfortunately meant we've had 4 tall forwards at times, is because he has done pretty well. No case to drop him, although I wouldn't play that many talls and a hard decision should've been made.
Marchbank will be better in a key role with some responsibility. He's probably lost like Weitering was last year. Plowman we can take or leave. We play too many talls and it throws some of them out. We pick the wrong side most weeks.
I might play Marchbank on a wing, Pies forward line wont suit either Marchbank or Plowman IMO..

I probably shouldn't be writing when I am still so angry, but today's effort leaves a very poor taste in my mouth. We were playing the bottom team who couldn't have defeated roadkill and we lost by 10 goals. We are now 2nd bottom, with only Sydney beneath us. Sydney beat us! > 
This was by far our worst performance of the year: we couldn't hit a target to save our lives, we could not get a free for love or money, we could not kick for goal (until the last quarter) and we allowed an ordinary team to run all over us and bash us around. We didn't want the ball enough and couldn't do anything with it when we did get it. We couldn't take a mark: we were thrashed in the air for 3 quarters. We were smashed around the packs. We did not appear to have a Plan B, and Plan A was hard to identify as well.
We were badly out-coached by a guy I do not rate.
I was sitting behind the North Melbourne bench. They were totally relaxed and laughing at our mistakes.
Live Long and Prosper!

Our zone we be as useful as the Maginot line for stopping the oncoming enemy

Carlton Again folds when under physical pressure.
Jack Silvagni, Daisy Thomas, Zac Fisher and Jacob Weitering, you can hold your heads up and Jones, Walsh & Stocker, I'll give you a pass but everyone else needs a good old fashioned bollocking, starting with Cripps & Murphy our so called leaders.
Cripps was found wanting, it's easy to go in hard against non hard players, but where was the desire inside? Murphy, you need to retire, players waltz through your tackles, you don't run anywhere near as hard as you used to and your disposal and decision making is diabolical.
Marchbank runs around looking for frees and is 50/50 on his disposal at best. He doesn't intercept mark anymore so what is he actually good for.
Plowman did a couple of decent things but his complete lack of intensity and skill makes him a D grade player.
Williamson on that effort should be straight back to the 2s
O'Brien is a boy playing a mans game and looks scared.
Casboult is still a dud, one good game against a small team in the Doggies and now he's back to good old sh1t Casboult
McKay was slaughtered and looks tired.
C Curnow not enough
Cunningham goes missing every game he plays
E Curnow has had his one wood taken away. They said he was a forward to create pressure, I'd love to know how many forward line tackles he's laid this season.
Gibbons another Lamb/Kerridge/Lucas/Boekhurst
Philips is a c grade ruckman, which I suppose is better than the d grader in Lobbe
SPS the game gets physical and he goes missing
Dow poor and unskilled
Team selection - It's not a secret that North have big strong bodies around the ball so why leave Setterfield and Kennedy out?
Coaching - It's been 4 years and still we have not taught/ trained or mids to run back hard. I lost count of how many times I saw Murphy and Cripps just jogging after players after they marked or kicked into 50, and they are our leaders give me a screwkking break.
Bolton - at half time, Fox showed a video where you were saying how well the players have done as they have won half their quarters that they played. The fact that you lost 5 game this season trumps that by a long way. If that is how you coach then it's no wonder that they get all warm and fuzzy with losing every week.
Silvagni any chance you could draft or trade for some real mongrel players?
It's been 18 years of this utter rubbish, sure we won a couple of finals, but we are the only team in that time period that has not made a prelim (gold coast aside).
I understand we are young, but being young doesn't prevent you from trying.
To see Plowman laughing when players were huddling for Jones' injury, 1 his team mate was being stretchered off and 2 we were being slaughtered, made my blood boil. I hope he is dropped and delisted at the end of the year.
This game is a true reflection of where we are, and it's still nowhere.
If Bolton comes out and says we are hurting with you again, I'll spew. It's a job for him, if he gets sacked tomorrow and rehired next season at another club then he'll hurt for them. If a player gets delisted or traded then they don't care what happens to Carlton, but we the true supporters do. I've paid my membership every year since the salary cap scandal, I pay for an interstate membership, which is basically a donation as I don't go to games being in Launceston apart from once a season and this year is was against the Bulldogs so an away game.
I don't get to be sacked or traded, I hurt for every game that is lost, I hurt when I see zero effort by some players, I hurt when at the start of the season we are promised an improved side and get the same rubbish year in and year out. I hurt when I see my sons getting teased on the play ground for supporting Carlton.
I want Bolton to get angry at the players, tell the Carlton faithful that it was not good enough and assure that players like Plowman, Marchbank are on notice or better still dropped, cause the Collingwood forwards will treat then like rag dolls next week. Like x100
2024... Moir of the same to come
