Round 20: Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Pain

[cimm1979]

We're not tanking ...we're just frightful

That wasn't a good look from Jamison not acknowledging Robinson....It's difficult to know the history but sometimes you have to be a bit bigger than that.
He's the one that will be painted as the bad guy

Maybe. Don't know what was said.

[Barbs]

Truly awful.
2 quarters without a goal against the bottom team (until now).
barker surely can't be given the job now.
SOS and Bolton have a lot of work ahead of them.

[crashlander]

We had 6 guys who had less than 10 possessions. Brisbane had 2.
We had no players who got more than 30 possessions. They had 3.

Other than Walker's 4 goals and the brilliant display by Cripps: 16 time 1st possession from the centre and 12 clearances, there wasn't much else we got out of this.

Johnny Barker did himself a great deal of harm in his quest to be coach next year. In many ways this loss was worse than the one that lead to Malthouse's demise.

[Robblues]

We don't have an option to tank, we are just bad , spiritless, lack of intensity, energy & passion. Confidence , is shot, had. 2 coaches this year and the players , beside a small honeymoon period didn't react to either of them . There will be many pink slips coming up I hope. They have really dented the brand tonight

[Barbs]

Yes looked very ugly for Jamo, lack of sportsmanship. They did tussle during the game, but looked liked Robbo was the bigger man tonight.

Easy to be a good sport when you win (after getting in someone else's face)

We're not tanking ...we're just frightful

Frightful is putting it kindly Lods, we are as bad as when we finished bottom a decade ago and our future now is even bleaker.
To all those spruiking for the number one pick I'll remind them that we had three number one picks in four years, Walker at two and recruited Judd, and look where we are now.
It's hard to see us being competitive in under five years and membership and sponsorship will take a big hit, there's a generation of Carlton supporters now who only know us as failures.
I'm at the point of despair, in 50 years of following the Blues I've never been more pessimistic about our future.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Yarran and Menzel in the twos, Casboult(injured or rested).....playing, Ellard, Dick etc....we tanked IMO and had little interest in winning the game.
I want the first ND draft pick and the first PSD pick so I wont be complaining.....SOS has the tools now to get the job done at the draft/trade table and the rebuilding can start.
Forget about tonight and the next three weeks and dont expect any great effort from anyone except SOS and the recruiting dept who need to be getting down to business...

In the way Robbo went over to him, it just didn't look like he thought that that anything that had happened during the match was anything to grudge over.as it has been said , we don't know what was said, but the face said a lot

[ItsOurTime]

To all those spruiking for the number one pick I'll remind them that we had three number one picks in four years, Walker at two and recruited Judd, and look where we are now.

One is injured, one is retired, the other three were in our best handful  :-\

We didn't put a support cast around them.

I see the club aiming for 6 top 10 picks over the next 3 years.

[DJC]

Somehow I don't think I will bother with the replay  :-[ :'( :o
