NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Essendon Sunday 28th Feb

[jeza]

I didn't know footy could be played as bad as we played it in the first half today. Second half microscopically better.

Positives? Weitering looked good. Silvagni, Curnow and McKay were good in flashes. Cunningham may want to forget that one.

I watched us warm up and literally 1 out of 4 kicks went where it was supposed to. I watched a suburban team in preseason on Friday night on the next oval from Milo Cricket and their skill level was far in advance of our guys.

You absolutely would not believe our guys were paid to practice every day.

I wish I could blame Jones but he only had one pos that didn't find the target all game. It also happened to be his only possession for the game.

Tutt is another bust.

I'm also writing off Whiley.

Clem had bit of a go but still doesn't look at all likely to make it. Not fast enough sure - but he's not good enough either.

Boek's disposal was appalling today but at least he got involved.

Jamo, Simo and Rowe were just crap today.

Obviously 90% of our team weren't playing but I think this was a misstep by Bolton. This performance would have hurt a lot of the younger guys confidence.

Byrne didn't set the world of fire but showed flashes.

I loath Everitt. LOATH everything about him.
