Round 9 Carlton v Sydney-In Game Thread

[Professer E]

Booing Goodes is stupid... the footy media are going to overlook the obvious and accuse Carlton supporters of being racist.  The last thing this club needs right now.

Happy with the effort I think we are really trying, umpires are frustrating and swans a bit cleaner, frustrating to watch G Laidler >

[PassIt2Carrots]

We have no outside runners and no forwards. Good on the inside, esp. Cripps.

Our basic skill level is atrocious.

Tutt tries but fork me he is awful. With Casboult and Henderson playing so poorly and Jones just being a spud we have no chance even when we do get it forward.

The umpires have given us nothing but we're getting spanked anyway, Sydney are just too slick and have some forwards.
Cripps is a real talent and I've been pleased with Graham, Simmo probably our best so far.
Curnow is sloppy and Bell's made some uncharacteristic mistakes, Jones is beyond bad, it's time we cut our losses with him.
Probably about a 12 or 14 goal loss coming up, which is about what most of us would have expected against a top side missing our three best players.

I agree cookie. perfect summary.

The problem is probably to do with all of our forwards being sucked out into the midfield and backline to try to help out and then when we get it forward you've got Levi one on 4.

Mick would drop him after a game like that BTW.

[PassIt2Carrots]

Cripps 16 possies 12 contested. Imagine he wasn't out there? Clearly captaincy material.

feel better mick has gone...now the spotlight will be firmly on the players...no excuses
welcome to ground zero in bottom out land

[Mantis]

It was never going to be easy. Really happy we have matched and entire game tackle score in half a match so far. Especially against close to the best side in the AFL on their ground. Missing Judd, Murphy and Gibbs. Lets take their best 3 mids out for half a game and see how they play. Big difference in the score but a way better attempt by us so far. Take the game on and run as a group in the second half guys.

But it is good fun to boo our Juddy?
