If only there were some sort of milestones the boys could be playing for today…

… something to gee them up so they could come out firing

Hmmm

(6 goal Q1 deficit same as last week, only this time we are at home, against a bottom 6 team)

WTF did I just watch

Thank christ we didn't trade this years first rounder. Only silver lining. We are hopeless, definite bottom 3 club. You simply cannot run Kolt and Steele in the midfield at once - too slow.

So what I can gather is our forwards can't mark & carltons can

Our forwards haven't even had the chance to mark so far.

Ball has lived in Carlton's F50.

This issue more embarrassing that last week, and I was sitting inthe stands last week watching it.

I’ve switched to the Grand Prix

Fancy paying money to watch that sh1te this team has dished up.

Defence is absolutely trash.

King has turned a decent defence into absolutely rabble.

Sad how quickly this season has turned from hope and excitement to despair and just praying that we’ll even be competitive against battler teams.

Time to see what King is made of.

Pathetic all over the ground.

Lever, CJ and Salem are liabilities down back and all need to be dropped. We refuse to man up, cannot hit a target to save ourselves, and are playing soft scared football.

King won’t do it, but I’d be tearing strips off them.

Oh and these umpires have NFI. Can’t man marks properly and don’t seem to know what holding the ball is. Tholstrup should’ve been penalised for a throw, but they just waved their arms play on.

Let’s see what you’re made of King.

I blame @binman

Can't stick tackles, won't take body contact, can't hit targets. Otherwise all is well.

Yeah and we got rid of a bloke who knows how to get contested ball, OLIVER remember him???? Honestly I thought we were fumbly last week. This week is WORSE again

Blah blah blah

Windsor isn’t a centre bounce player at the moment. He’s a wingman who should float into the area for outside ball. Langford needs to be in the guts asap.

So playing catch up again

Mate, stop clogging every thread with this dull garbage. If you don’t want to do 12 seconds of research to find out why Clayton HAD to go to then that’s on you.

On this showing, we would struggle in the VFL.

This is more embarrassing than last week and I watched that live.

The players need to pull the finger out of the backsides and put some effort in.

We have nothing in the middle. Absolutely nothing. It’s hard to watch.

KING serious questions he got rid of our best ball winner, Clarry, a once in a generation player. Well isn't that working out splendidly

Get over it Picket, he's gone FFS.

Same as the last two years

No mid field dominance for reasonable periods to arrest and stop the rot / win territory.

No mids working back to intercept / defend.

Forward entries / methods are just as putrid as ever.

No pressure, poor skills and look like they're playiing like a mid level VFL club.

No ability to close the game down when opp gets a run on, drop the rolling zone and go man on man behind the ball in order to cool the opp down for even 10 min.

Early days. Hope i'm proven wrong and we produce 'something' in the remaining 3 Qs but looking like a major rebuild now.

God I need a drink after watching that!!

Looks like we are back to “ learnings”

Loving this attacking footy we are playing.

Great start
