Carlton got a goal from a dubious blocking free yesterday.

Good point, we play a defence based passive aggressive game which relies on beating the other teams own game. Problem it gives them the opportunity to play the way they want, gives them confidence and that evens things up. Thus losing 7 games by under 10 points has turned our games into a coin flip. And again losing centre clearances badly just lets the opposition seize the initiative when our defence is most vulnerable. I would say this aspect of our game is more [censored] up than our forward game. There are 4 or perhaps 5 A graders that rotate through the midfield who do bugger all where it counts.

Totally bizarre, I expected that if Tmac was having a stinker and the scores close he would have been replaced at3/4 time at the latest. Tmac had no touches in the last. Tmac’s history shows he is notoriously slow in regaining form after injury. He should never have been selected to start with.

if we played BB tonight even with his dodgy knee I would fancy him to kick 1 or 2 opportunistic goals just relying on his smarts around the goal face.

No

Lost 9 games all season by a combined 79 points. A kings ransom for an extra goal a game.

Gawn and Viney dumb sheet errors in the dying minutes. Oliver brutally wasteful,again.

Tmac zero tuches last quarter.Schache zero touches on the bench

Bumped low. Accidental head clash

centre clearances 7-1 in favour of Carlton.

Worried we could become stuck in a kind of limbo where we are good enough to be a top four team but unable to progress any further. If we go out in straight set two years in a row will be hard to take and do little for future confidence.

AFL tribunal caved in to media pressure to clear Maynard. Shows the power of propaganda.

Christian’s sacking is long overdue. He has shown at the very least very poor judgement and questionable competence with many stinkers but this one tops the lot.

Fullerton is another Schache. Flynn the best option. I would take Goldie for a one off season.

Brisbane and Port was like a regular season game. Bugger all finals pressure and cheapie goals.
