GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Apart from rounds 1-2 our midfield have been belted all year. wtf is going on in our engine room? Max is having his best season in 5 years and the rest are [censored] the bed.

[DubDee 26,191]

righto. i’m off to my super important BS meeting

ill be checking this thread though so no spoilers!!

[Nascent 9,299]

Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

heads must roll

if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

[BDA 22,960]

can we please have a proper crack in this half and restore some respectability.

[Demon Disciple 12,315]

Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

[The heart beats true 18,178]

They can’t do anything wrong.

when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

- 16 contested

Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

OK not the ideal start

[640MD 3,482]

What a good start to the second half

[Green Demon 822]

Good night.

[demon3165 2,814]

Gee wonder what happens when forwards are on the move, oh just saw that.

[Bates Mate 4,511]

Anb sparrow in the centre square to start , predictable result.

[Clintosaurus 7,913]

Touched but camera the 1975 model.

[layzie 34,149]

How else was it going to start?

[leave it to deever 17,563]

Our midfield is really broken.

Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

[Roy Boy 381]

Maybe, just maybe we aren’t that good.

Comes up every few weeks.

[wheaters31 677]

Even Carlton's shank kicks are hitting targets

Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
So…. Ummm… yeah 

The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

[poita 3,902]

That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position. 

[Gunna’s 2,104]

Suck it ARC. Thank you Kozzie. Another 3 please

[The heart beats true 18,178]

Show that to had replay again!!!!!!!

what a [censored] joke
