Giants Trample Blues - Post Match

[Brettie]

Opinion obviously Brettie, in your opinion who was better?

To be honest, I don't care. Being at the ground, Judd for mine was the one who appeared to give a damn and play to something close to what could be considered an acceptable standard, but you could see in his body language that he was labouring as the game wore on, having to pick up the slack of the useless spuds around him. Geez I felt sorry for the great man today, he must be regretting every minute his decision to play on this year, as at the time he clearly felt like his teammates were all on the same page in the latter stages of last season, only to have been hoodwinked. Gonna be a sad end to a magnificent career in a team sense.

Yep, Their biggest challenge is keeping the list together. By the same token, I can't see any of their top line players wanting to leave. Why would any player want to play elsewhere ?

They have plenty of first rounders not getting a game. Hopefully SOS knows which ones are worth chasing and which are the numpties.

Fuckers still have Patton to come back too.

I noticed something today that had me thinking. I don't feel our squad trust each other in their own abilities. Tutt received the ball a few times and rang like a weapon after passing it to another player, to then get forward of the centre and free in space. Hands in the air to get the pill passed to him and he was completely ignored. It wasn't just once and he looked like he might have some pace. I don't rate him yet because I haven't seen enough of his game. If this continues he will never become a player.

Not only do they not believe in each other, they also have a higher opinion of their own abilities than they should.

Getting the stuffing knocked out of you should send a message but I think everyone externalises the issue at our club.

United.  It's just a word if you don't play or act that way.

I was thinking exactly the same thing during the last quarter.
The chances of him playing again next season are approaching zero and he's still our best player, we haven't hit bottom yet.

screwers still have Patton to come back too.

I hope you're right .

Thomas strolls around the ground not giving a Feck about anything.  Has his $700 per year.  He is happy.

Irks me.

The performances so far this year (at least in Oz) have me thinking back wistfully to the team of rejects that Pagan cobbled together - at least they had a go.

How does Thomas get a game ahead of Buckley or Graham who bust a nut when they get a run? That's right he kicks the ball to Malthouse in the change rooms.

Cam Wood has been a great pick up Mick and cost us f#@k all, Thomas cost us Eddie you f#@kwit!!

Yeah I don't feel sorry for Juddy guys. Multi millionaire, premiership, multiple brownlows, putting away that prime piece of steak when he wants. Juddy has it all. It is a shame that he has to play his last season in a lifeless side but I guess Juddy was one to really sink the boots in when Ratts got the ass so you have to wonder if he learned a lesson about the grass always being greener and perhaps not speaking too soon.

Carlton have been doing that for many years. It's like playing in the juniors, you won't kick it to the little guy because you know he won't mark it. FFS, they are all professional footballers.
Very clicky groups down there at Princes park. You are either in or are on the outer.
