Rd 3: Carlton vs Gold Coast: In game Angst

[Barbs]

2 goals to 8 after half time and none in the 4th quarter.

Why do we bother with Bryce F########CKING Gibbs and Marc BULLSH#####T Murphy.

Both as useful as tits on a bull.

Between them and Thomas we're wasting half our salary cap. Get rid of all 3. "Reset" properly.

I would rather watch kids running around.

Amen. Add Kreuzer to that.

[JonHenry]

Can't see Murph going. The old guys in the group you mention should probably pull up stumps at seasons end. The rest really need to pull their socks up.

Pull their socks up?
When? At 32?
Ffs enough is enough.
They are mentally weak and will influence young players at the club as they were by the likes of nick Stevens.
None of them are leadership material, but guess what, they are in our leadership group.
Why shouldn't we move murphy on?
He is not worth the money. Let him play elsewhere and get a pick.
We need another 4 top 20 picks but we may get sued for fraud if someone trades a top 20 pick for any if them

Why do we stop at three quarter time every game? 

Kreuzer is so horribly out of form it is sad.  Giving nothing after the ball up, and that is his main strength.  We need to drop Phillips, ruck Kreuzer (with relief from Rowe and/or Casboult) and play either another runner or Jaksch.

Can't wait to see Plowman - who apparently has a clue and Sumner, who has some pace - which we another thing we don't have.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Kreuzer will probably get better but the rest you mention, yes.

Look forward to Plowman and Jaksch getting fit then we can start dropping some of those others you mentioned, as well as others you didn't.

Boekhorst I don't mind.

We were as putrid as you get tonight.

I think Boekhorst's future might be dimming.....thought he was poor tonight in a non physical game that was played the way he should like it....kicked short, missed targets and
had no impact....Dylan Buckley is another under pressure...

Kruezer isnt up to it IMo..Nicholls is very average and MK did nothing all evening, ditto with Philips who had Hampson hands...

[MosquitoFleet]

Phillips has 3 games...keep him

Get better coaches than capuano

Noticed this as well.

FWIW, apart from the last quarter fades, I can definitely see more cohesion, more effort, more team than last season. But no more skill - anywhere.

Neither can I but then we have to play as a functional unit. The "team"aspect of out game is non-existent. Whatever the plan is we're not playing to it. As for skills you actually expect an easy handball to find the grass, that how bad it is.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Reckon Murphy goes alright but I can see your point.

I won't go too hard on Simpson and Jamison as they have been great servants but their time is certainly nearing the end.

Jamison is gone IMO and Rowe is also in his last year of tenure IMO....if we had other options then they would be dropped but Glass-McCasker is still too green to pair with Weitering....the latter is a gun and probably better than Cripps in terms of being a complete player...

[crashlander]

OK, people. Time to switch threads. Not the result we wanted at all.
