That thought has also crossed my mind GTC.

We were not good enough .We got smashed in the ,midfield,backline and forward .The side was much to slow and to predictable.Walker,Gorringe,Everitt,White and Armfield were poor to terrible.What a pity really the crowd was pro CARLTON ( at least 60%) but we had nothing cheer about.Bolton was outcoached ,first time this year.I am not devastated even though I really loathe the AINTS .6 wins before the break is way above my expectation.Chin up all it is not in the world

Effort was poor and reminded me of our 'bad old days'. Horrible to watch and extremely frustrating!
I'm concerned, yet again mind you, for Bryce Gibbs that he gets a hard tag and then becomes quite ineffective. Young Patrick Cripps seems to be able to really work hard inside and wok his way through.
Whilst our bottom end players have been giving effort of recent times, when they don't or our team as a collective if 'off', we get caught our with limited resources in the midfield and talent pool.
Kreuzer looked really lame and reckon he just was a tad off in movement and mind.
Phillips Id like back in, but am a little hesitant in leaving Gorringe out. Can we play them both with Kreuzer and Casboult, with Everitt and White out....or does that limit our flexibility?

This probably belongs in a R14 pre game thread, but following on from Pratty, I'd say we need to go with as much pace, endurance and athleticism as we can muster.
Giants have become a tougher unit this season, but their bread and butter is pace, and incredibly slick, beautiful ball movement. We must be able to match them in at least one area, because we won't be matching them in much more I reckon.
As an aside, I have no idea where they will finish this season, but when they're on, they are beautiful to watch and just about unstoppable.

By far the worst thing about the game was that obnoxious line by line deconstruction of the saints theme song after every goal.......felt like throwing up

Watching on TV, so don't get to see play develop, it appeared that at least we didn't just get the ball and kick to to 1 on 3 or 4 in our forward half like we used to (apart from the first 10 minutes when the ball was exclusively in their forward line).
Disappointing, yes, but we haven't had a whole lot to complain about recently.

Gibbs had it 27 times in a midfield that GOT NO SERVICE from the ruckman.
He did fumble a bit and shanked a couple. Other than that he was far from our worst.

At times Gibbs tried too hard to create something out of nothing. For example, he attempted to centre the ball to Byrne and it resulted in a turnover. The kick was a little short but Byrne was bumped and that hindered his ability to get to the ball. It was a low percentage kick but someone like Docherty or Simpson would taken the mark. High risk, high reward but punishing when it doesn't come off.

Yeah I know he touched it 27 times. Never said he was our worst.
His impact was low IMO. You cannot rely on the our ruckman for silver service each week. Gotta find other ways to impact games if you want to be called an A-grader permanently. I'd love for him to have a higher impact when getting tagged. That Geelong style game more than not.
