Did anyone else think that last goal shouldn’t have counted? You can’t kick around your body without stepping off the line. Oh well.
Would have been interesting if it was the last kick to win a GF.
Have been convinced to stick with Bolts for now, swayed largely by some cool heads on this forum who have reminded us about where we’ve come from and where we’re headed (fingers crossed). As much as the commentators on FTA TV are dills, they were right about our game plan. Chipping it around and playing keepings off is all very well and good but ... then what? There doesn’t seem to be any “then what”. Casboult’s not the answer and we can’t expect Charlie to be 100% available. I wish BB would let them off the leash a bit more. We look so much better moving it on quicker and kicking it long.
As others have said, skills are just diabolical. Actually unbelievably bad considering we’re supposed to be watching men who’ve been playing football their whole lives and who make a decent living from it. Ugh. And when we make those howlers, what’s with BB’s habit of covering his mouth and letting loose with what I assume is language that would make a sailor blush? Reminds me of Alan Joyce and his handkerchief when he was at Hawthorn. And that worries me!
Last night I think I saw another reason why some teams can’t seem to get up off the mat and others don’t need to rebuild. We have only one genuine superstar on our list. Other teams can simply use their middle tier players as cannon fodder and instruct them to forget about winning the footy and stop Cripps at all costs. They tag team him and, in the end, break him. Career is cut short and the club never really reaps the benefit of having said superstar on the park long enough around which to build a dynasty. Struggling club goes back to the drawing board to find the next big thing while the successful clubs don’t need to - it’s death by a thousand cuts for Carlton.
