Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 17: Carlton vs Geelong

[laj]

Realistically, it's hard to be critical of our boys after that game... except for disposal skills, especially in front of goal.

The effort was terrific and deserves acknowledgment. We didn't really drop our heads.

I don't think the coach's box could have done better.

We took 3 injured blokes into the game -- Crippa, Williams & Martin, lost two before the bounce, liability with Setterfield and then kicked badly. Stayed in the game with will only.

Newnes & Fogarty honest toilers but really found out in a game like this.

Corralling has to be coached out of this side. Good opponents just walk away with the aggott.

Weiters, Crippa, Walsh... great efforts. In fact the backline did bloody well considering the number of inside 50s from the Pussycats. Love watching Saad.

We will get so much better with a healthier list. I'm not as disappointed or discouraged as some.

Yes, agree with all that. Disappointed or discouraged, no, frustrated beyond recall due to kicking at goal, yes. On another day an undermanned side could have taken a famous win.
