Sugar coat that one biatches VDB done Smith never to be seen again. Cost us at least 5 goals Lever - what a mistake Oliver - overated lair that can't kick or handball Brayshaw - turnover merchant who goes missing Viney - courageous but limited footballer who excels at hitting up opposition players TMac - Is it possible he is worse than his brother? Half way through the 3rd qtr there were 9 Melbourne players with 3 disposals or less. Hibberd best game in 2 years Trac hold your head up.

[censored] Oliver kick and dumb from Smith to spoil his team Mate How many mistakes can 1 player make

How does the coaching staff justify Smith in the side?

Hibberd best game in 2 yrs

3 i50s 3 marks Richmond hopeless

We're 17th on the ladder Great Job Simon You should resign in shame

Smith Melksham Vdb Lever Tomlinson Brayshaw All done. Go now

Ha ha smith ffs

No moves after half time? Genius coaching 9 Melbourne players with 3 possessions or less half way through the 3rd qtr This is souless dumb football

I'll write Goodwin's press conference now: They surprised us with their intensity They didn't allow us to play our brand They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back We had trouble connecting with our fwds Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure Smith is starting to string some games together The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas He won't say the last one but he should

Coaching staff doing an outstanding job

106 hb's to 80 kicks More i50s We're playing the same as we play every week. Wtf does Goodwin even do FFS STUBBORN and USELESS Richmond 12 shots on goal from 18 entries. Stellar defending

Coaching staff doing an outstanding job

I think we need to handball more Oh and Smith is a useless defender Is Lever even playing?

There's a flag to be someone will win it. We should be trying to win it but we seem a hell of a long way off.

I'm not disputing that and I didn't say that. I was talking about Harley. Good day.

How many did Bennell's opponent have? Case for the defence rests

This appears to be the problem we have been having for a long time. Many here can see it. I don't know if its stubborness or stupidity but it aint good. It reminds me of the rubbish posted here a few years ago that game plans take 3 years to develop. Brisbane's didn't, Western Bulldogs didn't. Plenty others dont. Its a cop out. I really believe that Goodwin doesn't have flexibility and ignores the obvious. His comments on the weekend after the game made me want to throw up: 1. "we couldn't get the ball off them" Seriously. I just throw my hands up in the air, this has been going on for years. You plan for it. Like you should plan for 2 mins to go and 4 pts down. PICK UP THE OPPOSITION PLAYERS WHEN THEY HAVE THE BALL FFS. Its not that hard. Don't allow them to chip the ball around. And yes the leadership on the ground should pick that up but ultimately its a failure of coaching. But Goodwin seems fixated on playing zones which don't work. I think he's stupid actually. When you look at his behaviour with gambling, Stephen Dank and the drug issue and his inflexibility I can come to no other conclusion. 2. "next time a team tries to hold the ball against us we will be better prepared". Seriously, he should resign in shame over that comment. This is he difference between a Clarkson coached side and ours. I remember a few years back when we were 98pts down against the Hawks with 2mins to go and the hawks were flooding back trying to not let us score. I thought at the time he was just being narky and wanted to win by over 100pts but was later told by a Director of Hawthorn that they were practicing the defending with 2mins to go plan. That's what a good coach does.

Goodwin "We are continuing to work on ... his contests and defensive elements of the game that is required within his role. But he has missed a lot of footy, so our expectation is that he is not going to be perfect in that space but he does bring something unique to our team." I was pleased Harley got through his first game and he has talent but he also has zero defensive skills on that showing. He wandered around by himself and refused to pick up a player Good that he has been called out.

It's like being in kindergarten and the grade 4 kid says hi Swoon

They don't just magically lose their talent

They have all gone backwards. Happens when you have a coach that confuses the [censored] out of them. They're like rabbits in the headlights with no idea what to do. So scared of making mistakes. There is no initiative at all. He's trying to make them into Goodwin robots. They are failing badly. He has the personality of a wet lettuce and it reflects how our team plays. If I was listening to him day in day out I would tune out as well.

Taken from another thread, this post is a total indictment on the playing and coaching group.

Carlton's ladder position each year since Mark LoGiudice was appointed president in 2014: 2014 - 13th 2015 - 18th 2016 - 14th 2017 - 16th 2018 - 18th 2019 - 18th You're a 1 man comedy show

Yeah thats it, our club is a laughing stock and has been for years but its our supporters that are the problem.
