Carlton's BigFooty Posts:[/align]
138 point loss. Biggest loss in our 151 year history.
Yuck.
I'm sorry that that's how you'll remember your 200th Marc.
Barker should not get the job. Kids or not, that's deplorable.
Great game, looking fwd to the replay
So am I!
In summary...
We're just really really crap.
No kidding!
I'm being told to change teams because I'm always sad. I ain't going anywhere, but I'm still sad
Que the violins*
At 22 years of age I havent lived to see a premiership ( 95 doesnt count i was 3). Nor really any success, parents hate footy, so i have no idea why i love it. I also have no idea why I love this club, out of all clubs since the turn of the century I for some unknown reason follow the shittest.
I have no idea why Iv continued to be a member on my own accord for the past 4 years on the basis of nothing other then my love for it.
How can a team be shit for 15 year?
And why do I put myself through this?
I can smell that loss from London...
We may have thought the early 2015 season under Malthouse was "rock-bottom" and we could only go up from there -- albeit slow and gradual.
But tonight is officially "rock-bottom".
Bring back Malthouse.
Seriously, We need the best coach available.
Is this the WTF just happened thread?
STICK FAT EVERYONE.
Can take a big loss on the chin but weak efforts, broken tackles and bad umpiring really annoy me. As does bruce mcaveney
30 f-in tackles to their 40.. 150 possessions odd less as well.... Obviously when the players pump up a coach they really hate him...
What can you say..... We deserve this reality check again... I'd to be honest just appreciate a few weeks of Laidley.. Want some angry coach... No more friends in Ratten and Malthouse..l want someone to just shock these players out of this timid don't give a stuff shell.
If Yarren and Henderson play next week.. Another wonderful message...
Just remind me what we are looking forward to again?
More wooden spoons and watching Liam Jones run around the forward line!
That was a little disappointing, particularly after going in with such high expectations
After spending over half my life hoping and wishing they would sort their shit tonight proves it just won't happen.
You win Carlton, you broke me.
Currently watching more convincing performances on The Expendables 2.
Barker does not justify getting the full-time job after that.
As they said in the commentary, Brett Ratten, who has spent time under Alistair Clarkson, would probably be the best choice....if he were able to forgive and accept.
silver linings... at least it wasn't against St Kilda
How we lost is beyond words.
How can the captain of our once great club publicly endorse JB for the top job and 48 hrs later lead the team into that deplorable effort.
I can handle poor skill, I can handle being outmuscled. I can't handle no effort
And we can't blame Malthouse either.
Sure is some bad stench going down Princes Park way when the leaders play as though their drunk..... Murphy excluded.
The side was very inexperienced but there's more to it than that.
Mixed night for myself. Lost my glasses so couldn't see the game that clearly. Great that we only lost by 38 points though!
Was really looking forward to this game ... see where we were compared to the competitions benchmark .....
Sadly we are light years behind.
Very very disappointing.
It not like we didn't try ... we were just simply blown out of the park.
Just shattered to think how far we have fallen.
On the '95' anniversary where we had arguably our best team we now get to see arguably our worst.
Oh the ironing!
I'm so happy with how far you've fallen!
Just deplorable. I never want to see Carlton this crap ever again.
I want to see Carlton this crap again!
Didn't watch, saved smashing tv
Let's be real. There is no post match discussion. Certainly nothing worth discussing relevant to Carlton. I'd give Hawthorn the cup now, and thereby let the rest of us have a longer period to formulate plans for getting it off them next year.
Jeepers, we had a very, very ordinary side out there but didn't think things would get that ugly.
Feel for Murph, tried his guts out and got belted up all night. Sad to see how far away we've fallen after being finals regulars with such a young side just 5 years ago. Not only was it a waste of 3 years with Mick, our list regressed and our players lost all confidence, sigh.
After that performance we deserve the wooden spoon. Our insipid effort reminiscent of our effort under MM.
wanted witches hats they may cover more ground than 3/4's of Carlton's list
Glad i missed it. What a disaster.
Glad I didn't miss it! What a success.
And Malthouse said he couldn't see us losing a game preseason. Senile old fool nearly completely stuffed this club. Buttifant, Thomas, Jones etc.
We gotta lot of work to do. C'mon BLUES!!
Got to love Micky Madhouse!
I don't post here much (tend to look at lot these days), so I am not here to take pot shots.
But I am wondering - has it finally hit the board of our proud club that things need to be done differently at Carlton (on a number of fronts) to compete and be successful in modern day footy?
If tonight doesn't send the message, nothing will.
I simply have no words.
If this isn't rock bottom, the people running the joint have no idea.
Given results over the last couple of weeks, we are within 10 goals of the Swans
I'm seriously not that surprised. It was basically the Northern Blues v the Premiers.
I'm pretty sure the umps cost us the game.
Our psych profiling of our recruits is poor..
Just a lot of timid fellas without a hunger or desire to win.. Bar Cripps, Buckley,Simpson Kreuzer..
Farewell
Judd, Carazzo, Jamison, Warnock, Ellard, Watson... Hendo and Yarran probably gone and I'd seriously consider trading Kreuzer and Menzel too. Shame it's a week draft..
We will get our fourth spoon I hate to say.
Hard to find the right word for that so I will settle with excruciating, even if it does understate how much we sucked tonight.
Very sad I have watched Carlton's biggest defeat tonight.
If I was in the running to be Blues coach I would now be running in the opposite direction.
We are 5 years plus from success with an impatient and reactive board.
Barker sorry mate you are not up to it.
Very happy I have watched Carlton's biggest defeat tonight!
We must have had serious concerns about Brisbane's percentage.
The loss leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Only caught the last 15 min. I doubt we'll get 1 Friday night match next year. What an embarrassment, how can the players (bar a small few) actually pluck up the courage to walk out their next week, aren't they embarrassed? Knowing hundreds of thousands of people just watched you put no effort in? They should voluntarily drop themselves to the seconds.
Lets not forget that we virtually lost our whole forward line. If Jones is really on 3yrs we must start playing him as a backman in the 2's next week
We don't deserve any Friday night games based on tonight's performance.
I'd like to say meh but what I really want to say is FAAARRRRRKKKKK!
Commentators laughing it up for the fact that Gunstan kicked a higher score than we did.
Pretty sure it is not the first time that has happened this season.
Just highlights we need some new faces into the club, starting with the senior coach.
In all honesty you couldn't have made a worse list by throwing a dart at the form guide from 20 meters.
All those decent picks and this is where we are at.
And worse still we manage to hit rock bottom in a weak draft year ... I mean far out we are just so irrelevant its sickening
The difference in skill level was massive. I know it was Hawthorn, but still....
We seem to have a problem with the concept of delivering the ball forward of a player, to allow them to run onto it. Pity you don't get six points for landing the ball on someone's head.
Commentators were so unprofessional with their giggles and guffaws.
The Carlton facebook page is feral. I'm sure we get some refugees from there on occasion and they have no clue how to articulate a thought constructively.
We are currently in a heavy training load...
A mini preseason....
Think that excuse is ok????
The afl is seriously broken.
The current people at the club (all of them) are succeeding in completely destroying our once great club.
Lowest ever crowd between Hawks and blues, lowest by almost 20k.
And to top it off we put up such an insipid display to get beaten by a record winning margin against us, that we just made a complete certainty to have even fewer supporters attend in future.
I'm in morning now because tonight the first nail was driven into our coffin, can't see this going on much longer without the club being completely destroyed
Love it!
Our percentage is 66.6.... make of that what you will...
Would like to get into a time machine and just go 5 years into the future ... just so tired of pushing shit up a hill.
Wish ai could brainwash myself to follow someone else ... I mean seriously growing up if so,eone told me we would end up like this I would have laughed for a week ... now I have been crying for 15 bloody years!
I've been laughing for 15 years!
not sure what happened to the taking the game on earlier in the year.
we are terrible at manning up/zoning.
The only saving grace from the night is at least we got playing Hawthorn out of the way. I mean imagine how bad it could have been if we were playing them in the run home into the finals
