Less said about that quarter the better. With the exception of our goal, we were very, very poor.
Like last week, we look really bereft using the ball because we are a tall down on normal. But we just look ordinary in all facets of the game. Our ability to lay a tackle was pitiful in that half - how many @@@@ing times did we get done by the blues players turning back inside.
Only reason we aren't getting thrashed is it's Carlton we are playing.

My U9s kick that goal every time, even when it's windy. That's 2 in 2 weeks for an AFL standard player. If I did my job that poorly, people would literally die. To make matters worse, the Blues went down the other end and kicked a goal, effectively causing a 12 point turn around. Such a momentum killer. If I was coach, I would make him tag Cripps for the rest of the game, just to teach him a lesson. Then drop him for next week. There needs to be consequences for such poor play.Comment

We’ve been pretty poor since ( including ) the Gold Coast game . Continuing today. Look at the stats , a lot of passengers in our side

We're getting smashed at ground level in defence and attack. Thank god for Parker. McCartain playing well today too.Comment

What about Heeney. His disposal and disposal decisions are woeful. Handballs to players under pressure and that last handball to Jones was just typical of how he plays. Is now moving into the over rated range. He should be taking this game by the scruff of the neck.
We are so slow at moving it on and getting smashed in the midfield. They made a big mistake not tagging Cripps and it appears our blokes are scared of tackling him.Comment

Actually I think we are moving it on too fast, under pressure, with players not ready to receive the ball.Comment

Right now only 2 of our players are deserving of a vote; Parker and Rampe. You could raffle the rest of them. Kennedy looks cooked.Comment

I'm with you on the disposal gripe, but Heeney is not the worst example: we are spraying the ball in all directions and not following through with run.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.
