Rd 21: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Brisbane

[crashlander]

We have not fared well against Brisbane in recent times. I did not expect it to continue, but when we can't kick goals....

Ok, time to rest injured players (Cripps especially). There's nothing to be gained from risking marquee players. Play the kids and trade bait and work towards next season.

Not a lot of choice. Losing this one is like losing to Essendon: beyond the pale.

No that will come round 23, put your house on an Scum win.

Sub average.

Forward system is a worry - better by Buckley and Casboult.

Jones meh why even bother, Thomas just release him and Rowe out of form in a big way providing no protection and leadership showing his C Grade ranking .

We were embarrassed by the Saints (again) last week and needed to respond this week and this is what we put up? FFS we just lost to Brisbane!  They are being called the worst team of recent times, their coach is about to get the sack, they've been losing games by triple-digit margins and we fall short by much more than the margin indicates.

We had 22 more inside-50s. The level of incompetence it takes to waste that sort of I50 advantage is significant. 

Any credits we earned earlier in the season (and indeed in recent close losses to top teams) has been wiped out by the last two weeks. Will get worse when we lose to the bombers in Rd23... I sure as hell won't be tipping us again.

Kicked our 3rd highest score for the year. just a pity the other mob, a crap mob at that, kicked more.

Kinda proved the importance of the midfield on match day. We were smashed to pieces by Rockliff, Zorko and Robbo in the first half. Their ball winning ability, run to space and them delivery to the fwd line was A grade today. Put pressure on our mids also, they schooled ours in the first half where the game was set up.
