[IvanAwfulbigone]

Brisbane, Melbourne and then Collingwood next to finish the home and away games = LLL

So we’re a lock to beat Brisbane and Collingwood.

Stats tell a tale: 2 super efforts and not a lot from the rest.
41 possessions from Cripps. 6 tackles and 13 clearances.
40 possessions from Walsh; 3 tackles and 6 clearances.
32 to Doc.
Pitto and TdK probably did enough, but we should have done better.
Believing our own press? Possibly. But life is a lot more difficult now.

The stats don't look that bad for us in this game. The difference was the Crows were cleaner under pressure.

The Crows neutralized much of the drive we get from Saad and Doc and beat us at stoppages, really missed Hewett,  and contested ball. That's how it looked to me but I haven't studied the stats. Also, we made too many errors and gave away too many turnovers. Crow pressure was fierce.

The Carlton Football Club needs to write an official apology to the South Australian members and supporters.
For many years now on the rare occasion we play in Adelaide the team NEVER comes to play putting in putrid efforts.
The SA supporters have endured soooo many years of being smashed in Adelaide.
Whether it's the traveling bit or the dislike of the oval or scared of the oppo supporters the team does not play well in Adelaide.

Harry McKay! Your job is to kick goals,  please learn how to do that, oh and when going for a mark stop playing for the free kick and use your body to out muscle the oppo and actually jump at the footy. Just putting your hands up acting like you are marking is wearing thin.

As a team,  get back to doing the TEAM things,  the 1%ers.
People bag Honey, but if you watch his game he does alot of little things that help but gets no reward.

Jack Silvagni is always picked first from now on.  >

Losing is part of sport, and I can handle that (just).  But that was a dishonest performance and undid a lot of hard work.  This side still lacks any kind of mature,  professional mindset,  symptomatic of Carlton for the last 20 years   

[ElwoodBlues1]

What I didn't like was how we were outmuscled and intimidated by blokes like Walker, Fogarty and had that little smartarse Schoenberg trying to push our blokes around. Our tackling was timid and lacked any authority, Voss would have been appalled, I'd be getting Stocker back in that team to help Saad as well, he would have been ideal for Keays and I can't believe Voss let that loose matchup continue through the game.
Don't be fooled by Cripps,Walsh high possession tally's either, how many of those were effective or part of any real systematic play?
A very insipid effort and I hope Voss won't tolerate that soft bruise free rubbish we served up, the Crows are rubbish and being bullied by them is disgraceful.

We've got too many conditional inconsistent players in starting 22

I like the word 'dishonest'.
It wasn't 'true' to the way we played earlier in the year...and the pronouncements by Voss of how we want to play and be percieved.

We were never as hard or committed as they were and they broke tackles easily.
In short, we didn't turn up to play and they set themselves.
Is it a perception of other teams that the 'pressure' is our Achilles heel.

The thing is I'd probably back us to win one of our last three if we set ourselves as they did.
Our opposition will no doubt start favourites...so there'll be no complacency on our part...and that's when we tend go OK.

[Baggers]

Well that performance did our brand no good at all. Above the shoulders. Such poor intent, discipline and work rate... made us look soft.

With Hewett's back issue apparently unlikely to be resolved any time soon, Stocker and Chugga concussed, Durdin with a shoulder and the Magoos showing very little... the pickings may be slim. A very bad Saturday for the CFC.

Hopefully Newman's knee is just a cut but that might still be a week. Kemp was a bright light in the Magoos. Martin battled hard. JSOS, Kemp and Martin are probably 3 ins. And Dow will probably get his chance.

So now it's time to focus on the Gabba... and an attitude/intent transplant during the week.

Yesterday our depth was unbelievable, today it's slim pickings.
