Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Game Commentary

[MilkIt]

We are deplorable but it's not through lack of trying. This is what Shane Rogers has left us with and while I have faith in SOS, he might be a bit optimistic saying this will be a 66 game rebuild.

Having said that, the umpiring is an. absolute. disgrace. Honey moon period is over for John Barker.


(love Holman using a Hawthorn "spoil" against them) )

They have got there ruckmen resting up forward. Why can't we do the same.

Simple, Barker in an interview pointed out all the deficiencies this team has got, and I thought that my opinion of him not being good enough to coach, was off the mark.
Tonights coaching performance proves that within the actual game, he has got no idea what to do.

We know the game is gone, but we  are making moves on this forum, that any decent coach would at least attempt.

[Mondy]

I don't think the players have any more confidence in our forwards than we do , seems that way at least

But why is their confidence shot?  They've been competitive in the last few weeks. 

[Mondy]

Holman is a shining light.

Cripps has played his heart out.

Curnow has left it on the ground.

Everett has tried.

Kruezer has tried.

Simpson has made mistakes but he has tried.

Murphy has had 21 possies but had bugger all impact.

My thoughts exactly - they are in a holding pattern, and have nothing to lose. Nobody is expecting anything of them, so why not just go for it ?

[Micky0]

We are so inexperienced but FMD how the FUCK do they get 21-9 free kicks? Seriously?! No I am being quite serious - the CFC needs to stand up ffs and ask for at least a level playing field.

Meanwhile I've not seen Yaz live for a while but if he's not fucking everything he does up on purpose, I'll be absolutely shocked. There is no other explanation - watch him, he intentionally is doing the eff ups on purpose!

[PassIt2Carrots]

Simpson has put everything on his line.  Like bignic, we need 22 of him.

Has been amazing for many years but hasn't been as reliable this year IMO. Probably has another year.

[Vivian]

Thank god the game is half over. At least most of the players are trying but the reality is awful. Our skills are just so poor and there is no structure to our team. Just a bunch of limited footballers trying to varying degrees.

Can only think of a few that would get a game at hawthorn.

Maybe try a bit more one on one a d some harder tackling in the second half.

Yep.

Watching the Fox Footy half time summary, everything we have said here, they are saying, because they can see it, yet you have a coach that can't.

Now what could be worse, is that Barker is seeing and understanding all this, has sent out instructions as to what he wants them to do, and these wonderful players who just LOVE the coach, are not doing a thing for him.

Probably says it all about that mob who will turn up to the cashiers office as usual and have their hand out to get paid.
