It doesn't get any worse than that, if Bolton can have them playing decent football by the end of the season well and good but any more faux efforts like today and we may as well give someone else a chance.
A lack of ability and experience I can cop, the rubbish that we dished up today I can't.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

But watch us dither, and get sucked into the spruik. Lack of imagination and the age old recruiters bulls1t of taking the best available will result in bringing in a South Australian who will want to go home asap........
When we should get aggressive at the table and make both SA teams fight out a deal that FAVOURS US. They can have Weitering too, perfect example of falling for the "best player" mentality, sorry but the kid's heart's not in it; lost, soft, incapable.
Almost lost on this "reset", it's not a rebuild, the team which BB inherited only needed a reset apparently, that's 40 players ago by the way.
Many pundits are saying we'll trade P1 to the Crows for later picks plus a player. Apparently the Crows are desperate to get it and would be up for a deal generous in our direction. Remains to be seen.
Reality always wins in the end.

I suspect time might be up for Phillips, too fragile, and we don't have the list to carry him as a backup to an already damaged ruckmen!
Lobbe might be a good buy if he can get himself sorted, until De Koning and McKay get themselves sorted as ruck options.

SOS, Weitering and SPS,have no idea of what role they are supposed to perform. I want to know why those 3, who started off so well, are struggling. They've all shown they have talent. As I said to someone else, if the players we drafted the last few years wore red and white I bet they'd all be going very well as most of them have talent. You can only draft good players, up to the coaching staff to develop them. Right now our coaches could turn Dusty into a dud.

Probably. Another possible option must have thought it funny - he was having a good laugh in the crowd apparently! >

I look forward to seeing De Koning in a year or 2. I hope we don't turn his talent to shite as well.
Phillips would be best looking at another club. He's shown he can play if he's first ruck mostly rucking on his own. Just no room for 2 rucks in most sides these days.

As a loyal supporter and member it’s gut wrenching to have to endue such a putrid insipid display against a team we should actually be ahead of yet they absolutely pump us in every level. And when I try and stay a little positive which is hard enough I’m reminded of the stupidity from our club in recently and I might say proudly declaring ‘we don’t want a priority pick’. :o
We are a joke from the top down.
I always tried to be positive during the last 15 years of crap but I thats it now. I have lost all faith we will ever be anything but a laughing stock.
Never ever thought I would say this but I am now so bloody embarrassed to follow the team i have loved for the last 45 years.
This loss has removed any doubt I had we might not be on the right track. We are a sad irrelevant organization and deserve all the sh1t we cop from the media.
Gutted.

Harry or Levi?
Charlie could ended up with 4 or 5 if he held those dollys in the first qtr. Glad he plays for us. Kicks 3 on his bad days.

To all the Harry Haters out there for him having the temerity to have a laugh at the footy, he is an employee!!! The days of yore are gawn people, this is the generation of Free Agency, loyalty is a redundant theory.
I was there, Blight missed!!!

Our defence especially was all at sea - zoning completely broke down at times and opposition players were left with a free hand to destroy us. Surely that wasn't all down to Simmo being missing?? And we just could not capitalise on our F50 entries which were invariably and predictably to Charlie who was often being double teamed?
Note. Comments based on first three qtrs = could not bear to watch any more.
