Post Game Analysis: AFL 2020 Rd 2: Carlton vs Melbourne

[shawny]

Very hard when you list contains just 3 at best A grade players in Cripps, doc and Weitering

Add in at best 3-4 B graders.

The rest of the side is C grade and below.

5 years into a rebuild and still a bottom team.

Miles behind where I thought we would be.

I'm not sure Cripps was 100%.
Just seemed to lack a bit of the usual explosiveness...and certainly the impact.

 His eyes were a bit sunken as well, like he'd been unwell.

Two points only to make.  (1) - Marc Murphy, '0' tackles in 2 games (3 hours) of football this year.  What an inspirational leader.  (2) Teague.  Honestly, why can't we spend money on a proper coach who can adequately 'prepare' the players to start from the first quarter.  Here we go again.  Big spoon chance in an asterix season.

Hard At times? I am dead set over it. I changed channels in the 1st in disgust when they kicked their 5th (11 I50s to nil). I just cant watch it anymore, sorry but I just cant. I feel for people who coughed up their hard earned to support them and get that crap in return. Call me a sook, fairweather supporter whatever, they wont get a cent out of me ever again. Nothing changes, same rubbish week in week out sprinkled with the odd win every now and then against the bottom sides. If I hear one more person mention our supposed top end talent I will spew up. We have Cripps, Weitering and maybe Doc if he can stay injury free. The rest are just very average footballers with no intensity, poor skills and turn up and perform occasionally to justify collecting a pay cheque. Five farken years we have been waiting for green shoots, young players, blah blah farken blah. As ol mate Dane Swan said, the world has changed forever in the wake of Covid19, there is a constant though, the CFC and their pathetic rinse repeat efforts.

The club is a disaster.  I have copped so much on here for about 7 years about how negative i am etc.  Truth is, we are, have been, and will always be a rabble until we get rid of the board.  The board appoints the CEO, and sets the culture.  Our culture is one of 'losing' and 'all in boys club'.  I mean, John Barker, what the hell is he still there for.  Joke

Don’t like to kick when down but when they cannot score in one whole quarter, the first after 3 months away. Not one score. No rushed behind. Nothing.

That Nunes lad is a fine pick up.  Not.  Another one of SOS's champs.

Sad

He was on the bench having what looked like his ankle strapped. I could be mistaken, watching a small screen ?

Yep, that about sums it up.

A sobering realisation of what happens when coaching diligence is not applied to glaring deficiencies.

Plenty of teams have started badly and gone on to make it a real contest. Another few minutes and we would have rolled them. Melbourne aren't that flash, but neither are we. Go back and watch the game - we were the better team for the most part, and we deserved the 4 points. We won't be scaring any top teams, but I never expected anything different, Teague or no Teague.

But there's little point in trying to take a holistic position - the I've-had-a-gutful brigade always rules the airwaves after such losses.
