It was the worst game i have ever seen. and im not exagerating.

I can't believe the players effort is under question.

They played a terrible brand of football, going short and zig zagging across the ground. You could hear the players talking, telling each other to go long. The runner came out at one stage in the 1st quarter and shouted out to go long, but they still went short.

so are you bagging the players or not? i cant work it out on that statement.



look, with the exception of Ryan Houilhan, i very very rarely actively give carlton players a serve, but the game on the weekend was beyond shit.

either, they are instructed to do it, or they did it themselves, either wya, it was F@%&#! crap football, and i expect more.

In the risk of getting shouted down, I wonder whether some posters on this board have really understood what kind of results the St.Kildas, Sydneys, Melbournes, were getting when they were in the rebuilding phase we are in? These teams would get shallackings, often at the end of a Carlton game. Why? Because the players were young, inexperienced-the sides were still forming their game plans etc.

Ok, maybe in due course it may be another coach that will more out of the players. But c'mon, let's keep our cool and realize that rebuilding phases with youth will inevitable mean there STILL will be thumpings. Go ahead and look at results from the Bulldogs and Demons etc the year before they came out of hiatus. They would get thumped. They were at the bottom of the ladder. Even just weeks before before these teams rose from the ashes to sget more consistent wins and compete in finals they were belted.

What I am suggesting is, we need to live in reality....And give it time-at least let's see where we are at at the end of the season to decide whether the development is where it should be. And whether a change of coach is just the ticket.

Now about supporting the Blues.... I live in Sydney. I only get down to see 4 or 5 games a year. But I am proud to be a Gold member and to have my 4 year old son as a Gold (adult paying) member. Because I am committed to the team, the Club and our future.

Have been following the blues for over 55 years and have never been more ashamed of my fellow supporters of the CFC - The Mighty Blues and particulalrly posters on TC and TBV I have no regets in renewing my 4 memberships and will go on doing so as long as Mrs Acudoc, Dongatwitch and Harri want to see our club play the best football they can manage. Sure there are obviously problems on the ground and maybe off the ground. We would all be better if some posters stopped throwing their dummies and rattles out of their prams to get attention from the rest of us. Obviously Kinder is still in recess.

it's a bloody practice match! I used to go to practice matches in the 80s where we got absolutely belted, as the senior players, who we all know can play, don't go 100%. Bad practice match form means stuff all.

A PRIVILEGE!!

Anybody else hear the bloke ring SEN this morning and give it to Andy Maher for being a Carlton supporter and having a go at the Blues but not being a member himself?? Maher went off and bought a membership in the Ad break after the serve he copped, even quoted the club receipt number on air to prove it!! Good on that caller for ringing in and good on Andy Maher, all credit to him for copping the criticism and buying a membership!!!
