Rd 12: Post Game Purgatory: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Mondy]

Next game is GWS...Mumford is the big solid type that Kruezer doesnt like playing on so I reckon you can back it in that Philips will play and Gorringe will be out...
In fact GWS are a more quality skilfull version of Stkilda....pace, precision kicking and will have more firepower down forward.

Yes, if we let them run it will be a deeestroyation.

Kreuzer is no good when he shares the ruck duties, stars when he does it on his own most of the day. Been the same for a long time. Ruck/rover type ruckman that needs to stay on the ball. Hence rather one ruckman so we can bring other type of players in, like Jaksch and Silvagni, who continue to kick lots of goals in the VFL. Be nice to bring Phillips in, given his form, but not sure if it helps us overall if it hurts Krezuer's game.

The usual melts coming from the usual people. Yep

Sack him, delist him, get the big name, we'll never be anything with .......... in the side. Need to go back to basics, like working as a team

Phillips plays today instead of yesterday and it's  a different game. Sorry but cant see how Phillips would've been any better, hickey mashed us, and we werent defensive side of steven, gave them no respect and we was pantsed

Team looked flat, need more speed around the footy, no ruck. team looked $h1t, need more Murphy around the footy, no Gorringe

It's year 1. You're reasoning is unassailable it is year 1, thanks for pointing that out. I feel so much better knowing its year 1

Phillips plays today and we get 4 goals closer, might not have won though. Their ruck knew he only had to put it to the advantage or outside and we couldn't touch them for speed.

Simple as that.

[BlueAvenger]

At least the NB's had a big win, maybe some of those boys might come in and play like they actually give a crap

Glass half full....6 wins from 8 matches. At the other end of the scale....gee we sucked today.

Still, we'll be defined right now by how we bounce back right now, especially with our pressure, not so much how we performed today.

Sorry iaj.

Kruez was putrid today and needs help, but that help shouldn't be Gorringe.

Phillips BOG in the magoos yesterday.

Gorringe is not a ruckman.  If we keep him in the side, he needs to play forward.

The problem though was that we looked exhausted.  Didn't want to run, didn't want to pressure and our tackling was insipid.  Their speed cut us up, Stevens had his own ball.

Krooz looked like a man who needed a rest.

Agree. We will benefit from the break.

I thought Crippa and Curnow soldiered on. Wright and Lamb our main threat pressuring forward. Actually i thought Lamb was great. Sumner needs a game to recalibrate post injury.

Some sound performances down back from AA Doc, 2e, Plowman.

Whilst I tipped us to win, I'm by no means disappointed. On the contrary I'm thrilled with our front half of the season.

Time to rest and regroup and recharge our "supporters" energy.

Go Blues

True.
Jones could be a chance again.
Played very well according to the reports from those at the Box Hill game.
