Try pinning that label on Betts.  One's a champion, the other a fifth grader and stuff the arguments about injuries or positions.  He's no good.

Teague?  A cigar store Indian in the Carlton box would make for more viewing interest.

I'm tipping Williams is having Achilles issues. That was the rumour last week, which we passed off as general soreness. He missed all 2019 with it.

The problem for us is at no stage did we put our foot on the doggies throat or even keep them at arms length, they always knew they could win from behind no matter how far that was.
They had belief and we started to try and save the game from halfway through the third
Lack of leadership and coaching we should have slowed the game down, kept possession and taken the momentum out of their charge by bringing the pressure of the clock onto our side
But no another honourable loss when we got tired and lost composure. Sick of it, when’s Russell going to do what he’s supposedly the best in the business at get us match hard and fit can’t see any results yet for the time he’s been there. Might be good to lose a few more as we are going nowhere as usual and play some blokes who are going alright in the 2s

Fox were onto it last week saying it was an achilles issue that we called general soreness. Had achilles issues all his career. Like after round 3 when ch.7 told us Cripps was having back and groin issues. We denied it but in both cases the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Both are terrific players struggling big time. Doubt it's just coincidence.

You didn't answer the question, why did he play injured?

X2!

Big time!

Show some fuking on field leadership and cram up the ball, throw players at the problem, not stand by and let them kick 8 unanswered goals for fuks sake!

How many blokes in footy history have played injured. Like really. I'm sure you know that.

How long did Essendon take to admit Daniher has a bad groin issue? How long did Tommy Hawkins play with that bad back a number of years ago when he couldn't even bend over. Clubs keep sending them out there as they are their best players  often not telling the public putting unfair scrutiny on players.

We need to find why we have 5hit the bed in big games in last qtrs the last 2 years. We have the ability when we decide to apply ourselves. Can't complain about the attitude today but the psychologist will have more work than the coaches this week. Stop us making finals last year. Now happened again today.

If that rumour is correct, why did Carlton go after him?  Achilles issues almost always end badly, usually needing an operation and months of physio.
