AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon

[Lods]

Truth is, they played about 15 minutes and wiped the floor with us.

It really is nothing new. Same old, same old. Apply sustained pressure to us and we will fold at some stage and then the opposition can score multiple goals and put the game out of reach.

Even when we have the game on our terms, just sustain the pressure and we'll find a way to fail to capitalize - we'll stuff it up some how.

A very mentally fragile football team, devoid of authoritative leadership.

Sheesh, it dates back to the MM days when he declared we were a very introverted group. We still are.

I didn't watch this game. I can't watch these games. It is the same bad movie week after week. Nothing ever changes. I have a whole lot of theories, observations and opinions on the current situation but I can't see the point. Like the players, I have given up. These are dark days.

The selection of Young on Wright was a disaster, that's a coaching box fail.
Young's form is horrible and has been for weeks, he should be in the twos but we have nothing else thanks to the list management that have assembled wingers and half backs on mass but left us short in key areas.
Sam Durdin is injured but he wouldn't have been any better than Young.
When you have one of the best FBs in the comp in Weitering I can't fathom why he didn't start on the opposition best key forward.  Young had the perfect soft tall player to man up on in Weideman yet we put him on the more dangerous Wright and paid dearly as usual.

These are dark days, months, years, decades! :o

Our Club is BROKEN.
First we tried using glue to fix things that didn't work.
So we decide to renovate (good move) this hasn't worked.
Where to now?
Do we start selling assets and see what we can get back?
Do we keep the same landlord?
Do we keep the same property managers?
I now have no emotion watching the games, i cannot even get angry at the TV (like we all do)

Ok, to positives.

Harry.
Weiters.
Cerra.

Maybe we’re just improving one player at a time each game.  So presumably this time next year we’ll all be good to go.

Took a ruckman off just to rub our noses in it (or they felt sorry for us).

[Micky0]

At the ground definitely what stood out to me was two or more players all going for the same ball and spoiling each other.

Not sure if it’s paranoia but can’t help but feel TDK does things for his highlight reel for his purported monster contract coming from Sydney.  Just does not seem like he is doing his flying for balls for the team but rather for self.

Felt also that JSOS was making really silly errors.  Also felt he was playing intentionally bad?

Things just don’t make sense watching the games.

I can only think that they didn't want to beat up on Weitering's already fragile confidence if Wright got a hold of him. That and Young just needed to farken grow a pair and do something constructive like try. Was led to the ball all night and at one point was easily blocked by a "midget" fwd. Throw your weight around at least you imbecile, start a fight, just do something that even resembles aggressive you moron. I'd almost prefer Plowman (even undersized) out there right now.
Sorry I'm ranting now.
