Over to you Brad Green.

Shellacking in progress.

Class players like Touk Miller just do the fundamentals like set shot goal kicking so well.

Riv has lifted.

Nice work Harry Sharp!

Aaah Ben King is providing a bit of mirth at least.

Reminds me of when players used to walk away ignoring the Neil Balme qtr time huddles.

Absolutely. Their spread today is asking us look pedestrian.

That is horrifying. CPS need to be brought in.

Going to need a lot of things coming together to keep us out of bottom 4 this year.

Gold coast's occasional rubbish skill errors are about all that is between us and an 80 point drubbing today.

Good eye-lowering there by Langdon. JVR christ stick a mark.

Haven't played like this since Tony Abbott was PM.

Went off in first 5 mins with a knee - we are waiting to hear more. No word yet. Melky subbed in.

How is our conceding goals in time on stat looking this year so far?

May oh jeez. How poor our skills are today. We look absolutely bereft of confidence in our game.

0 goals 4 behinds 😠

If it was Jakovich I'd read that as 20 goals and a 3 week suspension.

We've (maybe) got this.

Jeez the ARC loves Carlton.

Oh what a shame to see Cripps hurt himself after launching his knee between naughton's shoulders.

Here's a thought, rather than trying to play Fritsch up the field, why not play him where he plays his best footy? While we're at it, maybe we could play Lever as an interceptor rather than as a 1-on-1 defender? Also, how about we play Langdon as... you guessed it... a [censored] wingman? Riv off half back maybe? List goes on. Put it this way, if I'm building a house I don't employ a finish carpenter to do my framing. Nor do get a sparky to do my plumbing. Etc.

What an f-stick. I get it. We lost. Badly. Hopes for the season getting shaken, etc. But why berate the players like some dead-set Bombers or Richmond nuffy?

If there is a silver lining it may be that this year most of our squad got through most of the preseason, particularly the intensive running work earlier on. In 2019 we had a lot (11 or so?) players missing chunks of the preseason rehabbing surgeries, etc. While we've lost Mcadam and AMW for the season, both have been replaced on our list, and neither were best-22 locks (though AMW was threatening a solid year, sadly). So hopefully when the Kozzys, McVees, Melkys, Kolts, etc. return, we'll have a reasonably healthy list with a decent fitness base. But like 2019, if we run off the rails early and confidence goes, it could be ugly. Ugh.

Apparently played pretty well, improving as the game went on and had a strong last qtr.
