I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

Happy with his efforts. I know others want Brown but I can see what the coaches are seeing.

Gawn took a couple of nice marks then but gee his skill and standard has dropped a lot.

Woeful half of football from both sides 

[chook fowler 19,458]

Surely BBB would have done more than Smith.

Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

At the very least it seems like we can have confidence in our future on the D50.

McVee, Bowey, Petty very good line-up to take over May, Lever when they retire. And Disco Turner growing season after season.

Hopefully now we can focus on KPF and some more polish and class with the foot in our midfield.

Goody will have a good talking to them and they will get it together in the second half.

Are we winning? Wouldn’t know it with 90% of posts

We are ahead on the scoreboard as it stands yes. 
But our game plan and skills are those of an Aussie rules team playing in Canada.

It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope.

We're taking lots of our set shots from very wide in the pocket.

Ala 2022 🤢🤢

Salem is working himself back into form

[MrFreeze 1,963]

+9 clearance against a great contested team, a bit more polish and spread and we will get a run going

My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
1. Carlton are rubbish
2. Dees lack class & polish
3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

I am so very bored watching this.

1st half

Ditto. Terrible suburban league 4 type footy. Turnovers and missed targets by both teams. Rubbish footy. 

🤮Spargo free kick and goal (ridiculous umpiring even beyond a Ginnivan level) 

✅Kozzzy goal but needs to do more 

✅ clearances 23-14 stoppages 19-10 

✅JVR goal 

🥔turnovers 37-38 

🥔umps - free kicks 5-11

Remember at half time when you could sit and chat to the person next to you who you are with or enjoy watching the kids play little league. Now we get rubbish techno music and dance cam. Honestly shut the music up

Those calling for Brown to play need to watch him at Casey. He’s more cooked than a GF snag. Done, finished, retire now.

I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

Same. As it is we struggle to keep the ball inside our attacking 50. Smith is a lot more athletic and able to give us better coverage at ground level. 
Tmac and BB missing is not why we are playing this poorly. 

[Colm 2,151]

I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

He will fit right in here then.

But, but, dancing and looking like a moron!

Could they spend any more time trying to get Cripps off.

Well said !!

[Dee-monic 620]

Awful disposal from both teams. Luckily Carlton have been even worse than us. I wouldn't want to watch the slaughter if we produce this standard against Collingwood.

[Roost it far 8,255]

Looking forward to Petty returning. Schache should be playing. The love affair with Smith needs to end.
