It was a terribly disappointing effort regardless of how many kids we played.
There was one small period of the game where we had 5 deliberate shots on goal for 5 points at a time when we were well behind but having the better of play, what small glimmer of hope there was was snuffed out then and there.
We have a losing mentality and I doubt that the players went into last night honestly expecting to win the game, that will be the hardest thing to turn around.
I seemed to remember that Phillips could play a bit but he didn't look remotely like a footballer last night, in fact his game was Hampsonesque in parts.
Armfield should have played, I've never rated him very highly but he's quick and tough and he would have been handy, he should get a game against Sydney.
Polson didn't look anywhere near ready for senior footy and Weitering looks less than enthusiastic, I'll be surprised if he's still at Carlton in three years from now.
The only bright spot is that Daisy is off the hook for a week at least, but it's a long, hard road ahead.

The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
