2018 Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Blueboy_Benny]

...so that's the problem!!!

They're probably more likely to be in to Vodka Cruisers...

I still maintain our conditioning and endurance is a fail! Our blokes look knackered compared to other teams, week in week out. We also dont get to places to create spread and space. Many of the stray missed kicks are the result of fatigued players.

Clarkson is over-rated, they had massive AFL assistance to build that list, Kennett complained and complained until they got super deals and maximum support. The Dawks were receiving priority picks when we were finishing on the bottom of the ladder.

Get real. Clarko's a gun. Rebuilt them once and on the way to doing to again. So flexible with his game plans over the years.

I think we have gotten ahead of ourselves.

We have dropped triers like Silvagni in round 1, o Shea in round 2, lamb and polson in round 3, to bring in players with little exposed form and have avoided dropping others who are talented but not contributing and also blokes carrying injuries with the end result being last night's debacle.

Sometimes you have to reward the effort in order to ensure players keep playing with effort.

I'm not sure going with bam bam and Dow first up ahead of kerridge with his finish to last season has sent the right message to the group.

We've since obviously made further changes that have similarly cost us the ability to be competitive and it's all pointing to us having pulled the wrong reign.

This is not too far off to my way of thought.

Can I have some of whatever you're smoking, Spotted One... you are taking the p1ss, right? As much as I dislike the little pr1ck, he is a brilliant senior coach... one of the best.

I have hated Clarkson's guts since the Battle of Brittain.... but I would sack Bolton and replace him with Clarkson in a heartbeat.

we need some one with a bit of C.U.N.T.

Completely how I feel Maxi > > > >

Pagan had it, our players revolted. MM had it, our players revolted. Clarkson would end up with no players at our club, they would all be in therapy. ;D

Collingwood get criticized and bagged and respond accordingly. Essendon same this week and beat Port. Our team gets slagged and we produce an even worse effort than the week before against weaker opposition. We are rabble .... AGAIN

I haven't seen the presser. Anyone know how many times Bolts used the word 'growth'?

Surely there is something wrong. Most of our players are better than that. Bolts is a teacher. He talks like it. He coaches like it. I imagine that style would really pi$$ off some players after a while.

And I don't buy that Murphy was a huge loss and would have made a difference. He's not a 'Follow me boys and I will show you the way' type of leader.
