Post Game Pondering: AFL 2020 Rd 9: Carlton vs Hawthorn

[Micky0]

I am fed up with this team.  They’re young they say. They’re not young ad all. It is our senior players that continually let us down. We were on top and it was like our senior players decided to let hawthorn back o to it with rubbish kick after rubbish kick.
And we know that no Carlton team can Stans yo against pressure.

Never been more angry at a performance Than that one.  Writing was on the wall last week
We only scraped thru

Sick of this club giving me false hope. And spare
Me the hawthorn had back to the wall and had to win what a load of absolute crap. We
Died

That was bordering on the unforgiveable.  Not the first time I've said it, but Petrevski Seton and an appropriate pick for Papley.  Sick of him.

Hard to argue with that. Too easy in the 1st and then they were just soft. For the rest of the game hawthorn just wanted to win more. Our guys are so mentally weak.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Certainly not alone. Our backline just don't have enough mentality about them to stand up under pressure. They panick and lose the game between their ears. Some of those attempts to move the ball out of defence were truly troubling.

Midfield refuse to man up, Stats show we have more goals scored by opposing mids than any other teams.
Hawks are treacle like for speed but kept getting on their own.
Agree on Plowman.. had a shocker, Williamson too was poor again and SPS weak at the ball.
The lesser lights who shone last week were also unsighted.
Moore's selection left us one short...

Newnes keeps Fisher out. Moore plays ahead of... anyone. Our MC are on smack.

At least Newnes kicks goals, but Moore? The worse thing with his absolute non-impact is that when he goes into the ruck we go backwards@!

[Professer E]

This mob beat us every time... Every single time,  and I'm over it.  Massive test tonight and a massive fail.

Callum Moore....we all called it after last week. Are our MC really that gullible?  Never again please.

We carry too many passengers when the heat goes on.  One wants another year.  Not on that effort. 

Officially over SPS.  Trade bait.

And we've got a problem with our captain... A big problem.  He looks glacier slow,  he's playing soft and he can't get involved.  There must be some issue because he's a shadow of the player he normally is.  Since playing the Saints he's been poor.

Our games are so wildly fluctuating. Nearly every game has been the same.

[IvanAwfulbigone]

It’s the narrative of these losses which is so demoralizing. Bet your bottom dollar that at least 3 or 4 games a year for over 10 years now have followed this template:
x rediscovered their mojo with a stirring win against the Blues ...
x snapped an x game losing streak with a breakthrough victory ...
Under enormous pressure, coach x pulled off a stunning win against the Blues ...

Well and truly over it.

We missed Jed Lamb....lol.
