One of the most insipid vomit inducing games I have ever seen. The sooner we see the back of Josh Thomas, Madgen and hopefully Mayne played his last game tonight, the better. Woeful. Anyone who wants Harvey to be coach are probably clinging to the Buckley back to Collingwood mob. Get rid of every coach there and start afresh. Miochec should consider himself lucky to have signed a new contract. He is just another heartbreaker. I’d be happy for him to go as well. Big problems at Pieland and I. Can’t see a short term solution.

Ginnivan?

Yeah may be a keeper.
Problem is we picked him up in the rookie draft.
What about the others in the national draft????/

What really got me tonite were the fumbles.

So it was VFL vs a contender tonight. But they just move the ball forward and at will. Although why wouldn’t you when you have Daniher and Cameron up there (mind you missing hipwood).

Our midfield was smashed out of the middle tonight but what are they looking up to when kicking into the forward line. A forward line full of players drafted off the rookie list.

So I just started watching the replay as I was at a bubble buddy’s. When they stated kicking away in the second I just now checked the scores . We are stuffed. Our kids are not good. Ned guy and co have killed this club. Shut the doors . We are Carlton. (Two bottles of red)z

Yes, I agree. Our lack of skills at ground level was really terrible.
I actually think some was luck. I think Brisbane had a date with Lady Fortune big time tonight.
But that does not excuse our horrible lack of abilty to pass the ball accurately to team mates when the ball hit the ground or when under pressure.
This is the worst example of our skill set that I can recall seeing for a long time.
Then when you get busted for such horrible errors, you lose the will to fight. Just what happened tonight.

And Raynor.

The real negative effect of that on Brissy is that it forces them to leave Daniher forward. Before that, he was rucking part time.

Some perspective- a third of our team tonight had played under 20 games.

Well done to Crispy on giving 100% throughout the game - our best player by a country mile.
Really impressed with Finlay Macrae - hands are lightning quick and he has exquisite foot skills.
Young Daics was obviously a bit rusty.

Most of it was perceived pressure rather than actual pressure and it came from senior players too, you can forgive the young kids but not the guys that have played 100+ games.

For starters don’t blame Harvey for tonight. Secondly don’t blame kids like Henry either. They don’t have the bodies to compete against the Brisbane team. The seeds of this loss began after the 2018 GF loss when we thought we were better than what we were and refused to retire players who were close to the end, failed to give games to the younger players coming up and worse of all overpaid senior players like Treloar and Phillips who weren’t worth the money they were on and busted our salary cap. Put the three together with the inevitable clean out we had to have at the end of last year produces the outcome we had tonight, with Robert Harvey being the fall guy who has to cop all the flak.

Just the sight of the protective glove made me worry about playing him at all.

The only positives of tonight:

North lost and we avoid the wooden spoon
Carlton lost by more
Man Utd has gone 1-0 up against Leeds.

Agree PP.
Totally true regarding the inexperienced personnel.

competitive for a quarter and 10 minutes.
then one way traffic
fumble after fumble
couldn't gain possession then back to the same old cheap kick sideways rather than take the game on
lots of mediocre players out there that need to be moved on
a long season caught up with them tonight for their only thrashing for the year
