Pendles has a year or two left

Sidebum can retire this year though, dropped off a fair bit this season.

I dont think he has any time left unless he goes to the back flank

Disgusting result for us.

But respect to a former opponent in Sergio Silvani. RIP sir. As much as I hated Carlton, it was sad to see a legend pass.

The total wins is level again.

But it may well be this AFL season will be called off anyway. Swans and Giants players forced into isolation due to exposure at the rugby game. Seriously AFL call the season off.

Pathetic,disgraceful.What a capitulation.Carlton kicked nine of the last ten goals.That says it all,really.The players looked like they didn’t care in the last quarter and never even looked like scoring.

Easy to get caught up in the last quarter, but there are some positives.

• Henry kicked 3 goals, and has good kicking boots. There’s something to work with there.

• Ruscoe has a bright future in the backline.

• Ball movement was good in the first half, and should be the standard going forward.

Carlton emulated what we did last week against Richmond. Destroyed us in the clearances and Walsh was a key component of their victory.

We kept McKay at bay for three quarters, but once the shackles were off it was all over.

How can Grundy go from brilliant in the first quarter to being beaten by Silagni in the second half?

Post by **Jezza** » Sun Jul 18, 2021 6:05 pm

Any news on Cal Brown and Checkers?

They were both down injured at the end of the game.

How can the Whole Team be the Same.

Start Well and looks like they Stopped Playing and went home at Half Time

Same problem most weeks since 2018.
Beaten in the midfield and forwards not having much of an impact.
Backs good

I thought I saw that Bluescum elbow checkers. If that is the case he should get 3 weeks, not a fine.

The most abysmal performance this year and there has been some bad ones. Back to going backwards, back to the forward line turnovers with the dinky little pass to someone with at least 2on him. The worst game I’ve seen Quaynor play. Mayne was involved in about 4 of Carltons goals and as soon as you see him kicking in , you know we’re gone. Madgen????FFS how does he get a game and the much vaunted Brown , who I did cut some slack after last week’s effort, was back to his woeful worst. Just bring in Keane. Just bring in Wilson and let M&M play out there last weeks in the 2’s.

Almost as if we got 5 goals in front and though, "Oh shit, if we smash the Blues we might end up with Harvey as a coach!"

Seriously though, all perspective coaches would have looked on at that gutless performance and made a few marks against a few names I'd say

Too many turnovers trying to go through the middle for the sake of it… ran out of run for whatever reason, and the blues absolutely wanted it more.
And once we went behind we panicked and a lot of balls were picked off by Jones.
They scored 13.13. Shows that the better team won.
Maynard, love ya, but please no more 50m pens that cost us goals.

Well done to Henry, this will be a massive confidence boost.
There are signs of life in this list, a few tweaks and well thought of additions, and the right coach, should see improvement next year.
