GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Carlton

[monoccular 17,431]

It seems an absolute eternity since bang bang bang.  
Come on Dees - make a statement.  
PS buy a strong marking forward, somehow, over the trade period.  It is THE difference between garbage and success. BBB is stuffed.

He’s having a great game but he’s missed three sitters still which might be costly. Were they not sitters? We must be watching different games 

I'd hardly call all 3 of them sitters. 1 of the 3 perhaps. 2 at a massive stretch of the definition of a sitter.

Can we try Petty up fwd?

We do that and we will leak goals tonight.

Where was Langdon most of that quarter?

We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

You can see it coming a mile away. We will get overrun. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Well just as I bag Tracc he shows some good form.

Always the way.

Hope he keeps it up.

If anyone has a miracle cure for Tom McDonald please send it to him now

[SPC 3,549]

Not this year I feel..

[layzie 33,814]

We need to show we can come up trumps when challenged.

[bing181 9,240]

Forward line ... not quite happening, chemistry just not there. Playing as a group of (talented) individuals rather than a team. Odd, as they've had plenty of time together.

Missing Tom Macdonald to help get the system working again?

With Disco in  defence. 
Ir debut JVR next week.  Anything else is worth a try. 
This is not working. 
Just cannot have Melksham and Frittata as our only forwards.

I can see Spargs or ANB getting the bullet for someone, may as well be another borderline player with no awareness or game sense 

Try up forward was the suggestion, not many other options and the current set up is going nowhere

Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

Start bagging some more of the blokes please! 😂

Can Viney test Saids ribs.

[The heart beats true 18,128]

I’d like to win, for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can stick it up the whiners sitting around me.

Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

Correct.

And our last F50 entry we turned over as usual, we had a guy on his own screaming for it 30 out and ignored.

We must reverse this narrative CYB. No other option.

I reckon we had this score by half time last week.

We really need to nail these shots.

 

Well before half time

Not really the same since his injury I feel.

[Webber 10,468]

Just a limping shadow of last year. Carlton without Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett should mean this game goes one way. And yet they’re making us look slow, uncertain, fumbly and secondary at contests. Their plan for this quarter will be pressure, turnover, forward at speed. Ours will be the predictable usual, allowing them to set up that manic contest again. Like last week, we won’t get  it done that way.

Well 3 touches for the night would indicate he is fresh

[BDA 22,755]

I think we should bomb it into our forward 50 this quarter. See how we go

May is a marking machine.
