BigFooty (Carlton)...
That’s all she wrote for 2022.
Get everyone in for surgery (probably the whole team at this rate) and prepare for 2023.
Also wouldn’t mind seeing half the list cut.
I was hoping the players might have had a rousing response in them after last week but wary the effects of a long season may have set in and unfortunately today confirms it’s the latter.
Alarmingly there is also now enough evidence to support the claim we cannot run out a full season which is probably the scariest thing because that’s when the the real season starts.
I’m usually quite optimistic about I think it’s hard to see us coming remotely close to winning another game this season so I can’t see us making finals.
Humiliating being so easily held at arm's length the entire game.
Crapola.
Don't let that late surge fool you.
We were absolutely polaxed.
When the game was there to be won they dismantled us and we had no answers.
Our ball movement was boring and predictable, and our skill level was woeful.
Only once the game was beyond our reach we started taking chances.
Lions took the piss out of us tonight.
For the second week in a row I have nothing of value to add.
Just extremely disappointed in such a lacklustre effort. Wasted year.
Welcome home blues fans, to the honourable loss factory
Where was that in the first half
Monstered in the centre clearances, 24 to 8. Not going to win many games with that type of performance.
The Score line flatters the Blues, utterly out worked when it mattered. I've seen Auskickers with more heart.
It has to be mental, right??
Not disappointed, just angry.
Completely expected.
Just a mentally weak club. Last quarter players who were terrible under real pressure got better when the lions pressure disappeared. Notably Fisher and Cottrell who were terrible lifted but only when pressure totally dropped.
Lions got themselves in trouble, lifted and we wiltered away within 3 mins.
Just a basket case the last 6-8 weeks and it's not gonna change the next two weeks
It isn’t over till it’s over for this season but doesn’t look good.
Guessing Cripps is suspended for 2-3 matches as well.
No solace from that last quarter. Lions smashed Carlton and when Carlton threatened, they put on 3 quick goals.
Just have completely lost the plot, look nothing like the team we were earlier in the season. Lost all run through the middle and dare bar for 10 minutes in the last quarter when the game was done
That was worse than last week. Mentally weak. We have an incredibly soft team. Making finals now would be an insult to the top 8.
That was ******* woeful, Voss has absolutely no idea what our strengths & weakness are.
Disgusted with that effort
Shameful performance
Bottom 9 players are barely AFL. They put so much pressure on our good players that they turn the ball over.
It doesn’t matter if half the list feels the pain of missing finals, since they’re not good enough to play in finals anyway.
We need better coaches, players, game strategy and injury management.
We’re teetering at the edge of the 8 in a very, very weak year of competition. The reality is we have a long way to go.
I think our soft draw early did wonders for our confidence and got us up and about. Reality has hit hard since the bye, however.
Well folks…that game shows us exactly where we are at, and if anything the score line flattered us.
Who was to think that a win by 3 points - from 50 points up - earlier in the year has made for a nervy final 2 rounds.
We need another pre season but it’s disappointing that it looks like all our progress we made is being eroded.
How many goals have the opposition walked in the last 2 weeks?
At least a dozen.
Utterly woeful. This team is going as badly as we were under Teague - in fact, I almost feel sorry for Teague.
At least Voss has a fit Docherty and Curnow to work with, along with Cerra, Young, and a year extra on most of the other guys.
To rinse and repeat from the last few weeks, anyone blaming the bottom 6 is looking in the wrong spot. Every team has a bottom 6. Ours are being asked to do far too much because our top 6-7 are playing so poorly.
Of everything I think the saddest thing was that when we got it back within 5 goals at the end, Brisbane won every single of the 6 center clearances after that, and they were all an utter procession. That's Cripps, Walsh and Cerra (along with Fisher) allowing the ball to walk out. The last 3 goals they kicked were Docherty, Weitering, Saad all getting caught out.
Right now our best players can't even show fans the respect of providing a decent junk time comeback. So much for 'honorable losses' - I think I'd rather go back to those under Teague than the rubbish we've served up the last 2 weeks.
If we somehow hold on and make the 8 with 12 wins, it will be 8th and we will play our first final in a decade interstate against Sydney, Fremantle or Brisbane. Not what we were expecting a couple of months ago.
Well, we made it all the way through to rd 21 for the optimism to disappear. It usually happens by rd 5 or 6. That's an improvement right?
Standards are too low
Pretty sure the club just booked the local pub for mad Monday after the pies game
I don’t want us to make finals and play this way. But I also don’t want to miss finals after being so close to achieving it all season.
Ultimately, ill be pleased if we make finals and proud of the group for breaking the trend. A lot of emotional commentary in here is understandable, yet we’d all be rapt to have a berth. But something has to give because we’ve been struggling for 5-6 weeks now. Everything seems so off.
What a bloody joke time for the coaches to sit them down and explain that you can have talent,skill,poise but if you don't have aggression at the contest and a will to put your body on the line at all costs you aren't ever going to be going anywhere in this competition.
I always try to be positive but this is our most disappointing season for 20+ years.
I really believe this list should be top 4.
Injuries have been savage and our season has gone in to a tailspin since the Pies game but we can't just spin out the "Work in progress" line.
I'm not sure we're in a better position than two years ago
Top 4?
Sadly my prediction of a month ago is on track.
We will hang on like a sticky dag until Collingwood put us out of the eight on the last day.
We have two weeks to find a win and salvage the season. I can’t see it next week against Melbourne, Collingwood is the only chance.
I wonder whether we go back to Teague Train Ball and just release the shackles and go all out attack.
Because it’s the only time we look okay. The ball movement for the first 3 quarters were painful
