Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 11: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats
#81
We've got a good blueprint for turning blue collar forwards into very handy defenders. Whoever is responsible for that deserves a promotion. He needs to have license to share his strategy with the line coaches  Wink

Levi was good again being played out of position.
Weiters is taking his game to another level.
Stocker is going to surpass our beloved Simmo - soon.
Dow had some howlers by foot but so did many others. His play in tight though is exciting and i loved seeing him shepherding. Samo building too although slower than I'd hoped. Perhaps secondary to multiple positions. Fish n Cripps both down.
Charlie and H troubled by the delivery, intercepepted way too easily. Combination perhaps of leading, fwd cohesion, and delivery. Doesn't help when you're handicapped in the fwd line (Fasolo and Lang). Icing on the cake was Lang missing inexcusable set shots. Slot a couple and we're in with a chance, but no. Instead shows up like a recruit from Geelong.

Some good signs but not nearly enough. Very frustrating.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
Henry Ford.

Much more likely (to lose Cripps with the status quo).
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

At any rate, I'm not sure the Crows forwards need much coaching to be honest. Betts, Tex, Lynch, Jenkins etc. - plenty of experience there, and they seem to be doing ok without him.

Teague was a back line coach at Saints and WC, which makes sense IMO.

Probably does.

I’m done. Can’t take it any more.
Ok, I’m a quitter....but I have to consider my wife and family having to live with the shell of a man I am now.

Would the last supporter to succumb please give Cripper a pat on the back before you finally turn the site off for good

Morbid as it may be we're at our busiest when we are in a "spot of bother."
Lot's of folk have come in here tonight to 'share' their thoughts.
I'm guessing we'll have a busy week.

I reckon you and the other mods will be working shifts once Bolton's sacking is announced and this site goes berko.

Good luck.

I think that Bolton being sacked is a foregone conclusion after today, it's going from bad to worse and just can't be tolerated any longer.
He seems like a decent bloke and he's given it his best shot but we're playing like a disorganised rabble.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

That's probably the best summary of the situation I have read. I don't think anybody hates Bolton.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Folks, I'm no moderator, but let's be decent and civil to each other, toward players and coaches.  Its a really disappointing day to be a Carlton supporter but it is just footy.
