dont know how to react
it's total disaster that we lost the way we did today or lost at all, and i dont know what to think?? is it just we suck against carlton at the moment? or do we seriously have issues finishing off a game? is it mostly the coach?
and more importantly can we recover next week?
god i hope sheedy flogs the players after that!! much like the time when we beat freo lol and we won that game
i heard some of the kids got a fair bit of bench time?? if thats right... thats just a joke, seriously

I'll put it down to the injection of young players into the team being inconsistent & the team being complacent.
It's always easy to blame the coach in hindsight. But really, it was the inaccuracy & complacency of the players that caused the damage. I'm sure a coach would rarely be needed if the team was 10 goals up at qtr time & continued to play the style that got them there for the rest of the game. The 1st 2 games of the season we controlled the tempo.
After qtr time today, we looked like we were either stuffed, or too happy with our performance.

No excuses for that lost, was just pathetic. Maybe they got cocky and thought we had them.
Started to play stupid, football and got smashed. Fevola and Steven killed us once again.
Did we get a single clearance today? We did better against Sandilands.
Was a disgraceful loss. I can't remember a recent time in which we were up by that much and capitulated in to a team which could have been beaten by an EDFL team.

This was a concern of mine during the week. We played on the Sunday in 26 degrees and Carlton had played on the Saurday night. This early in the season it shouldn't affect anybody, but we sure seemed to lose a bit of run, particularly after all the run we showed early.Royza wrote:I'll put it down to the injection of young players into the team being inconsistent & the team being complacent.

Spot on. We were walloped in the middle and around the stoppages.danstar84 wrote: Did we get a single clearance today?
What really worries me is I couldn't see any effort to stop their momentum - slow the play down, play a spare man in defence in front of Fev, keep possession for a few minutes, or flood the back half (except for a very brief few seconds just before half time).
I'm shattered - the more I think about it - the more it seems to me like one our worst losses ever (nothing will ever beat 99 PF).
