Blind Freddy could see what was going to happen - starting with Norths "harder" players flogging us - and that's being polite. Zurhaar being BOG...really? REALLY?
I don't see why we continue to play so many what could be politely described as timid at the contest - until we start acquiring some old school hardness we'll continue to be road kill.
Fact is, we are 1 win and too many losses. Now an utterly non-competitive 10 goal loss to a nothing side.... I've seen enough. Bolton couldn't coach, or motivate, flies to land on crap. He's got the players, he's had enough time, but they still ain't winning. The clown has to go.
Just once I'd like to front up at the footy hoping for something like an honourable loss. Twenty screwING years now. HOW LONG CARLTON HOW ^$^(%)%ing long do we have to wait to be relevant again?
Yep, the centre was a bit like watching a young amateurs side vs a hardened EDFL side. But what do you do about it? Let's say that we agree that LOB & Marc Murphy are as soft was they come and run from a contest. We could replace them both with Setterfield and Kennedy, but will that help? Only marginally is my guess.
The close in game today suited them, but we couldn't get the ball into space and when we did the running ahead of the ball by our forwards was amateur at best. C Curnow was at one point running away from the drop zone of te kickers in front of him which caused a turnover. Some of these guys aint too bright.
