What this club needs to understand is you need to finish 2nd this year or we play our PF at the SCG or GABBA….if we get that far. Sad knowing the age of Cripps, Charlie, Harry, Weiters, Saad, Doc etc. The time is NOW! If we can’t make this list win a premiership during this window then unfortunately it’s a long cycle back to the glory days.
Spot on as always Bucky felt the same going into this game and will for every game for the rest of this season, people hate on you for speaking facts coz they like to live in fairly land, top 8 50/50 at best imo
Regardless of poor player selection, poor positioning and other factors we just don't have the desire and endeavour to contest and wear down the opposition. At this level you cant afford to carry 3 or more players week in week out. Unless a miracle occurs we are stuffed. As it stands playing in a GF is pie in the sky and dropping out of the 8 is a very real possibility.
Good review as usual Bucky. I agree the Cincotta experiment is overcooked and he doesnt get enough of his own ball. Surely we'll go back to having no dedicated tagger. Need to have faith in our own mids to win the contested ball. They have shown theyre capable of it. That said, Walsh does look out of sorts and if he's injured rest him. Go back to the tried n tested guys in their positions now. Cerra - mid, Cincotta - HBF, or interchange as utility, Hewitt can be the mid run with player if needed (would prefer him just to get his own ball (as everyone should) and beat their direct opp player, Kennedy (who was ok fwd) - mid, Young - Key Def. Without naming the non performers (we all know who they are) they can't keep being gifted games hoping they'll get a decent game together at some stage.
The rollercoaster that is being an afl club fan..... Just did a quick look across other teams fan pages and the similarities across every team is sort of funny We all say the same things, just about different clubs,players etc End of the day we do this to ourselves.lol Up the fukn Baggers
Spot on Bucky ( as usual) .After this game, I questioned whether we had improved at all, and on paper, you would would be questioning that .I personally now feel we have gone back to not being trusted! I understand the need for role players , but there are so many guys that just dont contribute or make an impact, and it's left to just a few , this needs to Improve if we One play finals , or longterm have any success! Voss's game plan is built around contest and clearance, and this is a bruising way to play . It takes its toll, and our blokes look sore and pedestrian .Interesting next Three weeks .
We seem to lack the intensity over 4 quarters that we had 6 weeks ago And our mids are getting spanked but i think we showed earlier this year and last that we can fix things and improve on the run. Hard to explain the drop off in our mids. Look at Swans though, they've also dropped 4 of 5 and ppl aren't dropping off them completely At this stage it looks like Lions gonna be the team to beat imo
For the worst ground ball team in defensive 50 I don’t know why we didn’t just kick it to the ground in the forward 50 and create chaos for the smalls. We just kept persisting with the predictable high ball to Charlie which aliir picked off again and again. No plan b for the last month . Not looking good
Take the best ruckmen, best forward, best wingman and best small forward for the year out of a team, throw in a 5 day break, against a team that can beat anyone on their day and you get a 2 goal loss. However in a premiership year, these are the wins you achieve through adversity. There’s still an inkling of ‘it’s a bit too hard’ about the team. They should have won that game on grit.
feeling f...k mate. i have listened to all your audios this year, but choose to make no comment after the horrific know it all AFL experts decided to tell me I know nothing after calling our season after the Adelaide loss at home. We do not have a game plan under Voss which stacks up. There is nothing about Voss's team selections, game style, player development to demonstrate things will change anytime soon. This game along with Pies and Hawks will go to script. As for players, i suggest we ice Walsh now and get him sorted. Walsh missing a preseason has been a disaster. He does not have the pace and hets caught holding the ball or making poor decisions by foot. You said 2 years ago Cotterill is a frightened farmer. He playes bruise free footy and looks like Jaiden Stephenson out there. Never play Young again. Cut injury prone players end of year. Marchbank, Cunningham, Durdin. O.Hollands is a kid and we expect a lot of him. Like all kids he makes a lot of mistakes. We are not just playing poorly, we have far to many injuries to manage and players who do not step up
Lost all trust in them mate . Collingwood , even at their lowest , will still find a way next week to put us away. I'm trying to think ..........when was Cera's last really great game , people are saying they're playing him in the wrong position , but when was his last dominant midfield game , not this year . Things have gone pear shaped since the club brought back in players off injury when we were in the midst of something special that put us 6 points clear in second . Appears to have totally changed the hunger we had . The line-up should have stayed the same until it wasn't working . Then make changes .
Cherra was domonat when we were losing by 5 goals every game first half of last year. He's a poncy Selesian Grammer, injury prone spud. Leave him on the midfield or drop him. Cottrel should be delisted. Cincotta a defender. Our midfield game has been found out Crippa and Walsh get crowded and game over
I'm sick of supporter rubbishing Carlton,we have so many players out of form,also injuries don't help.i will stick to them ,stop being fair weather supports ,
@@phyllisroe1959 wasn't that 8 weeks ago? Our list is pretty much FULL STRENGTH, the problem is these mugs are OVER RATED. If they are injured, rest them and blood players who deserve a spot, not hacks like Fantalesia. We are becoming like stupid Essendon putting together these house of cards lists.
The one thing I have never trusted is the mental aptitude of this team. Even through the strong performances it’s always been there in the background. Never being able to finish off a side, allowing sides to go on momentum runs and end up just fall over the line. Way too many players that are fragile both physically and mentally and until that is fixed, this team wont win anything. Scary part is, time is running out for a few and the competition is only becoming stronger.
Curried eggs are a big yes from me👍👍 I’ll take all responsibility for our teams poor form due to it being dry july for me !!! So back on the beers for me should be an instant form reversal🤣 I reckon out backline does well when you consider how many clean inside 50s we give up and that not just this month that’s all season .
spot on bucky. guess last week in your review u were spot on. they have 4 weeks to turn this around they really need to. i don’t know how they will fix it but they’ll need to quickly. i thought our defence was pretty good all around the ground but the midfields defensive efforts after the second quarter were terrible. im concerned collingwood will come firing. if we don’t make top 4 the seasons a failure unless we damage finals
I thought we were lucky to be in front at 3/4 time. I don't know what was said to them at half time, but we played like we wanted to kill the game and hold our lead. It was slow play mode every time. They should know there averages on getting a shot at goal from slow play. Coaches need to be really careful and very specific instructing kids to control the ball because players like control, they feel good when its not chaotic. Chaotic football is stressful by nature and given a choice players will choose control. Problem is control may get you temp relief but it won't get you goals. However Its fixable, I can think of half a dozen things that will fix it so i just hope the coaches can also.
Sorry Bucky ,can't do the curried eggs. My sister does them every xmas and I have to pass😂😂 Not too many years ago there was always 2 or 3 sides that were the benchmark, another 3 or 4 knocking on the door and the rest making up the numbers. Now you have about 10 teams with fuck all between them . The premiership is won by the team who hits form at the right time. Your off a few percent and you stink it up. Enjoying your previews and reviews, very measured and unbiased. Well done mate
Curried eggs, magnifique ! Ha, your mrs said the spare doona and a pillow are on the couch, along with your bony derriere ! Yep, you called it ... Bucky Boy 1 Eggs of Aust 0. Still finding it hard to process how a team kicks 7.2 in one quarter and 2.9 in the other 3. Losing Mckay replaced by Young was a double whammy disaster. Surely he had to go back and either McGovern or Kemp forward ? But not even tried for 5 minutes even ? Poor. So, we're invited to the Pendles Party. Arent we lucky. We're the frickin Titanic at the mo, and Leo (Cripps) is humping Rose on the couch, and the iceberg neareth. Lose this one and we seriously can miss the 8. Full bloody stop. Better get Pavlich over to give a Superman pep talk, coz we need something! Looking forward to your Lou Richards' styled preview this week. Will you get a Bortolotto style barrel of spag bol ? Tres Bien.
Would you expect the players and coaches to be thinking like you before this week's game? I can assure you Horse and the Swans players will not be thinking like that and they were putrid today against the Doggies. You make this big statement "We're Cooked. Might even miss the 8" as if it's fact and there is nothing that can be done. It's over. We are finished. There is not hope. Give up the last 4 games and hide under the bed sooking - is that what you want the players and coaches to do? Or do you expect them to fight back? If you want them to stay positive and fight their way out of this slump in form, why dont you do the same as a fan?
To kick 1 goal after HT was and let port run over us was just deflating. Whether the 5 day break played a part; after all the players aren’t robots, but what I do know is that no one mentioned the 5 day break back in R12 when we ran on top of Port. Irrespective of our outs I thought that was a cowardly coaching performance. It doesn’t surprise me that young played forward, because this coach of ours has shown us multiple times that he will play anyone forward except McGovern, the best forward at the club after Curnow and McKay. McGovern has now twice confirmed that he has asked Voss to play forward and it is evidently falling on deaf ears. In our game v North at HT on fox they spoke to Charlie comben, who said he asked Clarko about playing up forward alongside larkey. Clarko has been happy to facilitate that and said they’re undecided on where he’ll play long term. How many games have hawks won because Sam Mitchell has played Sicily forward? Yet McGovern can’t even play a minute forward. We have more resources than any other club, yet we are continuing to shoot ourselves in the foot because of our decisions, and lack of decisions in the coaching box and match committee. It’s also very clear that kemp and McGovern are not 1 on 1 defenders. McGovern was good offensively but struggled on georgiades, and kemp couldn’t handle esava. This shouldn’t be a position we need to fill because we had a gun CHB in Liam jones (watching the swans game now and he’s putting on a clinic). All we had to do is treat his situation like an ACL. He won’t play in 2022 but he’ll be back a year later so long as he stays in fit condition. But no, Voss decided he didn’t want someone like Liam jones and has again unnecessarily put us on the back foot, and is trying to turn kemp into a key back man. Clubs are well and truly aware of this. Clarko sends comben forward, bottom 10 ken of all people puts esava forward. I think Dixon after HT realised he’s no match for weitering so he just decided to hold him up and prevent him from getting to as many contests as possible and it certainly helped the power. I didn’t come out of that game and think that port are a serious premiership contender. I thought their pressure and contest work was excellent and ours wasn’t at the level. And when that happens it means our defence and reliance on weitering gets exposed. It means our offence and reliance on Curnow and McKay gets exposed. And ultimately it means our system gets exposed. There’s still time to get ourselves together but we better get a move on.
@@bluesroyalty9183 agree with everything. But once again the AFL screwed us. Just like they did with the Waite compensation. For them to only give us a 3rd rnd pick for Jones is corruption at its best. At the time Jones was being spoken about as a top 5 backman in the AFL. We lost him because of vaccine rules the AFL implemented. I agree we should have done everything to keep him. But we also don’t know how the playing group felt
@@andrewcoletti2588we made no effort to keep him and all we were concerned about was getting a compensation pick for him. No one at the club ever personally chastised jones but the club just wanted to be compensated for him which basically said to jones you need to find a new club in a years time. The dogs needed a star key back and they are now benefiting from our decisive blunder.
I don’t think it’s about Vossy. The players need to take responsibility for that performance 💯percent. I do question the hard training blocks within a 5 day break if that’s true. They were spent after the 2nd quarter. That needs to be questioned for sure.
We can't put 4 quarters together. Haven't other than probably the Geelong game. 5 day break, Injuries, McKay pulling out didn't help but no excuse. You're dead right, always let teams back in in red time. Disappointing but im a realist, we'll be lucky to last 1 final at this rate if they can't get it together soon. Massive game against the Pies next Saturday night. They'll be desperate!
100% Coaching & selection issue for me! Can't be personel! The players are all AFL players, who were drafted for a reason. There playing ability. The players (Believe it or not) all have the fundamentals down to an elite level! They have had them nailed since under 10's. So it's all bullshit mindset due to poor coaching. It's obvious that they are being coached to bomb the fuckin ball inside 50 every single fuckin time! & relying on Charlie & harry making the ball, but instead the opposition constantly waltz it out of there! Then they are instucted to kick the ball long down the line every single fuckin time, with no Carlton representation..Instead of changing the angles etc..All the fumbling, decision making & confusion, is all due to poor coaching, as the player seem to not know what's going on! Voss's selections & coaching (or lack of coaching) in game, is horrendous! Something weird going on at club/board level, as Voss obviously knows how to win games of football, finals & Grand Finals & has played under leigh Mathews. I really wish he would coach how he played!
That was a horrible second half, im still not ready to throw away hope yet, we have dipped in form but my god we need to find it quickly Game against Pies is now massive,same with game against Hawks We really still should be beating these teams, our mids need to lift, Cerra needs to do something,oh well,onto next week we go Go Blues
Good review, we obviously don’t have the depth some of us thought we had, TDK, Acres, Williams & Harry out are stretching our depth now, had they played we probably would’ve won, I’m very concerned about next Saturday and losing a great position on the ladder, I must admit over the last 4 weeks I was really only nervous before the GWS game, I thought “we were that team” to respond differently, still enough footy left to turn it around hopefully, Go Blues!!
Unfortunately we all now know what I've said all along that we're not a premiership threat in any shape way or form as we have zero defensive mindset. Our forwards can't lock the ball up in our front half, our mids can't I the middle nor our backs. The number one trait of all premiership teams is their ability to defend. To deny the opposition the ball and the will to beat your man when the ball is in dispute. So the change I would like to see this week in our team is laziness out, attitude in. Defending is a mindset not a skill set. Until that changes, nothing else will !
@@BrandonStephen-p6q Fair enough. Remember Mitchell and his Hawks looked very poor early this year. Hang in there mate - there is a lot to play out yet in this season
@@BrandonStephen-p6q Totally agree. This season has been one the most enjoyable I have seen the Club participate in so far. And what a perfect way to start this run home with a clash with our long time arch enemy McCrae's Lexus Centre Circus Show. " To date, Carlton and Collingwood have played each other 265 times in the VFL/AFL, with the ledger currently in Collingwood's favour (132 wins to Carlton's 129) and 4 draws.[4] They have met six times in Grand Finals, with Carlton successful five times to Collingwood's one" On 7 May 1892, at Victoria Park, Collingwood and Carlton faced off for the first time, in Collingwood's first-ever VFA match. Carlton won the match 3.13 to 2.11 (bit inaccurate that day, but we got the 4 points and that's what it's all about. Everything else will follow and take care of itself. Nobody can predict what will happen in finals - different ball game)
Players looked cooked as I said last video. Something not right, again. Not sure why people always call for Brody kemp to always be brought back into the AFL side. Not trying to pick on him but for me, he’s just not good enough. Pitto got absolutely dominated which put us on the back foot every stoppage or centre clearance bounce. The synergy is gone. I can’t see us winning another game. All the other teams peaking around us while we whither away, battered and bruised. What a club! Can’t win any game of footy kicking only 1 goal in 2 qts of footy. Let’s see what shall transpire. I’m not optimistic at all though. Good work bucks.
@@Onlyfragheads maybe high performance an issue... was gonna give Russell a pass because the team looked OK mid year, but lately they aren't finishing games with the same energy. The next four are gonna count the most in that department, need to see some finals form.
Hey Bucky - issues, it feels like they are trying to fit cerra in - when he came back in we dropped hewett - that didn’t work so we bring hewett back in , so we move him to half back , and then don’t bring Boyd back in. We still have no idea who the 2nd ruck option is - young played all the year down back for the vfl , you are right not to criticise him. It felt like in the 2nd half we decided at halftime to just defend the lead . We are not a control the ball type team. I still don’t know how the afl can put us the last game on a Sunday and then first game next round. The last time we played port we both had a 5 day break. I might be proved wrong this week but I think we play the G better than marvel. Nearly every team in the 8 have had runs like we are currently having - there are teams currently outside the 8 that are in better form .
Hi Bucky, thought i saw you on the way to the ground. I know they're blaming the 5 day break for conceding in the second half.. but one goal for two quarters was disgraceful. They wont have that excuse this week because its an 8 day break. I think as a club we can get a lot of momentum if we can get one over our arch rivals next week. Cowan defends strongly, but he isn't a great kick.. like Boyd. I dont get why Boyd is out... i think we need some X factor third forward type like Martin, do we just bring him back in, I would be in favour of that. Acres and McKay obviously sorely missed, hopefully they're straight back in. I don't know what is happening with our midfield, Port obviously had their full contingent. We arent getting much from Carroll and Cunningham was a wasted selection. We seem to be one or two quality mids short. Would it be worth trying someone like Binns or Lord? . cant be much worse. Just the old fried egg i like, or an omelet. Curried eggs are great, anything Curried i like. Years ago travelling in India by train, we got some street breakfast, egg bhurji i think its called. If you like your eggs curried you'd love that!
Martin is a proven finals performer and a key part of whatever success we had last year. At least in my view. I think we really miss him. Yeah, his body is always letting him down and we might let him go end of year if we can get a good replacement, but I'm talking the rest of this year.
@@Onlyfragheads yeah, I'm all for Lord coming in. I don't care about the reluctance to try new players at this stage or the year, it's surely better than Carroll and Cunningham
Been poor since 2 nd quarter against GWS. Too many passengers and don’t attack the game hard enough guys getting paid top money to constantly perform below average without accountability
Obviously labouring. Just not running on top of the ground. Praying it is due to a heavy loading at training (may explain the Swans dip as well). The swings in form in the AFL have been stark and quick so holding on to the hope our midfield get back to form quickly. Midfield need to lift both offensively (inside 50's are so low) and defensively (bar Weitering, our backs rely on support and they are just not getting much with the quick movement). Walsh lacking power and zip and his form correlates with the team's form showing how important he is to us. He seems to be just holding onto the ball too long.Probably because of lack of support. Watched the Giants up close last night and they barely hold onto the ball for a second before they offload with numbers always nearby. At the end of the day, we need to sustain our pressure and contest for longer. Hopefully we are getting extra miles in the legs to take us all the way to the last Saturday in September. Loved curried eggs (been years since I've had one though - might give mum a call).
Let's get real here, Mediocrity has been at this club for years! We do not develop the kids coming up, and don't throw them in, Yea, Binns is an example for sure! As for Voss he has become delusional, playing guys out of position, and no other game plan than kick it down the line and bomb it into the 50 Players are been gifted games who should be dropped! Out should be, Kemp, slowies, Cottrell, and how Ollie keeps getting a gig is beyond me, he is turnover central with Kemp!
@@myblueheaven3617 Also in review, about Pitto i keep saying, he can never run out a game, and Friday night was another example! BTW I had aioli eggs last night, nearly made curried ones ahahaha
@@Nathahn1 Been happening for years mate! Binns will be another Dow i think! Why get these guys and just leave them in the twos for so long? A lot are saying, Binns aint ready? Ok we'll leave him in the twos for another 3 years like we do! lol
Once they changed the dynamics of the team when players came back from injury , they haven't played with the same intensity and cohesion , just saying .
What's the difference between a curried egg and a devilled egg? I liked curried eggs so much i cooked half dozen and took a footlong roll to work. Ate all day and gave me the worst indigestion. Same as the last 5 weeks.
Are we a chance to try Harry lemmey down back? Big lump of a lad not getting a chance with Charlie and Harry up forward. Should they be trying him down back in the vfl?
Spewing we had no H and Acres - thought we might have one of those great Q4 from a month ago :( My burning questions; When things arent working out have we forgotten plan b or dont we have one? Who is #3 behind Crippa and Walsh that can stand up? When looking at replays and analysis as soon as the opposition gets it on the outside we arent anywhere to be seen - are we just reacting and ball following!?
We lost this game when Harry pulled out. This caused them to triple team Charlie and freed Ratugulia to play forward which stretched our shithouse defence. Harry plays Rat plays back and the outcome is different. That said, Voss has a clear issue. He has no plan B. If we don’t win contested possession we fall to shit. Teams guard the centre square against us which forces us down the wing which is not our natural game. Voss doesn’t have a plan to combat this. They sit on Cripps and Walsh and we fall to shit. Again he doesn’t have a plan to combat this. Cotteral is shit. Young is shit. Cowan and ollie need to get dropped. Our bottom 6 players are rubbish. This is why we are inconsistent.
Wasn't our players and coaches "mantra" that we are stronger together, and that we play for each other, and to make each other better ? What happened to that belief in each other? Can we get that back, or are we doomed to self destruct? The Grand Final is never won, on the merits of one coach, or player, as an individual. Let's not forget that.
Played 1 quarter again and went missing for the other 3. If Carlton lose to Collingwood next week the finals will definitely be in doubt :( Again, a very poor performance! Carrying too many passengers! WTF with the midfield and forward line?
@@benk7206 Carlton had to go on a massive winning streak last season to make the finals. They might go on a massive losing streak this season to miss the finals .
What this club needs to understand is you need to finish 2nd this year or we play our PF at the SCG or GABBA….if we get that far. Sad knowing the age of Cripps, Charlie, Harry, Weiters, Saad, Doc etc. The time is NOW! If we can’t make this list win a premiership during this window then unfortunately it’s a long cycle back to the glory days.

Never play Young again.

They should know there averages on getting a shot at goal from slow play. Coaches need to be really careful and very specific instructing kids to control the ball because players like control, they feel good when its not chaotic. Chaotic football is stressful by nature and given a choice players will choose control. Problem is control may get you temp relief but it won't get you goals. However Its fixable, I can think of half a dozen things that will fix it so i just hope the coaches can also.
I could devour a plate of those eggs easily ...my fave too 😊
@@cjayl7595 good to hear mate 😂😂🥚🥚
Sorry Bucky ,can't do the curried eggs. My sister does them every xmas and I have to pass😂😂 Not too many years ago there was always 2 or 3 sides that were the benchmark, another 3 or 4 knocking on the door and the rest making up the numbers. Now you have about 10 teams with fuck all between them . The premiership is won by the team who hits form at
the right time. Your off a few percent and you stink it up. Enjoying your previews and reviews, very measured and unbiased. Well done mate
No other team knows how to lose like us. We would be 80 points up at half time and still lose.
Curried eggs, magnifique !
Ha, your mrs said the spare doona and a pillow are on the couch, along with your bony derriere !
Yep, you called it ...
Bucky Boy 1
Eggs of Aust 0.
Still finding it hard to process how a team kicks 7.2 in one quarter and 2.9 in the other 3.
Losing Mckay replaced by Young was a double whammy disaster.
Surely he had to go back and either McGovern or Kemp forward ?
But not even tried for 5 minutes even ? Poor.
So, we're invited to the Pendles Party.
Arent we lucky.
We're the frickin Titanic at the mo, and Leo (Cripps) is humping Rose on the couch, and the iceberg neareth.
Lose this one and we seriously can miss the 8.
Full bloody stop.
Better get Pavlich over to give a Superman pep talk, coz we need something!
Looking forward to your Lou Richards' styled preview this week.
Will you get a Bortolotto style barrel of spag bol ?
Tres Bien.
We're cooked. Might even miss the 8.
Would you expect the players and coaches to be thinking like you before this week's game?
I can assure you Horse and the Swans players will not be thinking like that and they were putrid today against the Doggies.
You make this big statement "We're Cooked. Might even miss the 8" as if it's fact and there is nothing that can be done.
It's over. We are finished. There is not hope. Give up the last 4 games and hide under the bed sooking - is that what you want the players and coaches to do?
Or do you expect them to fight back?
If you want them to stay positive and fight their way out of this slump in form, why dont you do the same as a fan?
To kick 1 goal after HT was and let port run over us was just deflating. Whether the 5 day break played a part; after all the players aren’t robots, but what I do know is that no one mentioned the 5 day break back in R12 when we ran on top of Port.
Irrespective of our outs I thought that was a cowardly coaching performance. It doesn’t surprise me that young played forward, because this coach of ours has shown us multiple times that he will play anyone forward except McGovern, the best forward at the club after Curnow and McKay. McGovern has now twice confirmed that he has asked Voss to play forward and it is evidently falling on deaf ears. In our game v North at HT on fox they spoke to Charlie comben, who said he asked Clarko about playing up forward alongside larkey. Clarko has been happy to facilitate that and said they’re undecided on where he’ll play long term. How many games have hawks won because Sam Mitchell has played Sicily forward? Yet McGovern can’t even play a minute forward. We have more resources than any other club, yet we are continuing to shoot ourselves in the foot because of our decisions, and lack of decisions in the coaching box and match committee.
It’s also very clear that kemp and McGovern are not 1 on 1 defenders. McGovern was good offensively but struggled on georgiades, and kemp couldn’t handle esava. This shouldn’t be a position we need to fill because we had a gun CHB in Liam jones (watching the swans game now and he’s putting on a clinic). All we had to do is treat his situation like an ACL. He won’t play in 2022 but he’ll be back a year later so long as he stays in fit condition. But no, Voss decided he didn’t want someone like Liam jones and has again unnecessarily put us on the back foot, and is trying to turn kemp into a key back man. Clubs are well and truly aware of this. Clarko sends comben forward, bottom 10 ken of all people puts esava forward. I think Dixon after HT realised he’s no match for weitering so he just decided to hold him up and prevent him from getting to as many contests as possible and it certainly helped the power.
I didn’t come out of that game and think that port are a serious premiership contender. I thought their pressure and contest work was excellent and ours wasn’t at the level. And when that happens it means our defence and reliance on weitering gets exposed. It means our offence and reliance on Curnow and McKay gets exposed. And ultimately it means our system gets exposed. There’s still time to get ourselves together but we better get a move on.
@@bluesroyalty9183 good post mate 👍
Did Voss actually publicly come out and say Liam Jones wasn't a required player? Did we fight for him to stay or did he want to go to the dogs?
@@bluesroyalty9183 agree with everything. But once again the AFL screwed us. Just like they did with the Waite compensation. For them to only give us a 3rd rnd pick for Jones is corruption at its best. At the time Jones was being spoken about as a top 5 backman in the AFL. We lost him because of vaccine rules the AFL implemented.
I agree we should have done everything to keep him. But we also don’t know how the playing group felt
@@andrewcoletti2588we made no effort to keep him and all we were concerned about was getting a compensation pick for him. No one at the club ever personally chastised jones but the club just wanted to be compensated for him which basically said to jones you need to find a new club in a years time. The dogs needed a star key back and they are now benefiting from our decisive blunder.
I don’t think it’s about Vossy. The players need to take responsibility for that performance 💯percent. I do question the hard training blocks within a 5 day break if that’s true. They were spent after the 2nd quarter. That needs to be questioned for sure.
We can't put 4 quarters together. Haven't other than probably the Geelong game. 5 day break, Injuries, McKay pulling out didn't help but no excuse. You're dead right, always let teams back in in red time. Disappointing but im a realist, we'll be lucky to last 1 final at this rate if they can't get it together soon. Massive game against the Pies next Saturday night. They'll be desperate!
Find Voss hard to listen too, Ashley Hansen seems too have a higher Football IQ.
100% Coaching & selection issue for me! Can't be personel! The players are all AFL players, who were drafted for a reason. There playing ability. The players (Believe it or not) all have the fundamentals down to an elite level! They have had them nailed since under 10's. So it's all bullshit mindset due to poor coaching. It's obvious that they are being coached to bomb the fuckin ball inside 50 every single fuckin time! & relying on Charlie & harry making the ball, but instead the opposition constantly waltz it out of there! Then they are instucted to kick the ball long down the line every single fuckin time, with no Carlton representation..Instead of changing the angles etc..All the fumbling, decision making & confusion, is all due to poor coaching, as the player seem to not know what's going on! Voss's selections & coaching (or lack of coaching) in game, is horrendous! Something weird going on at club/board level, as Voss obviously knows how to win games of football, finals & Grand Finals & has played under leigh Mathews. I really wish he would coach how he played!
That was a horrible second half, im still not ready to throw away hope yet, we have dipped in form but my god we need to find it quickly
Game against Pies is now massive,same with game against Hawks
We really still should be beating these teams, our mids need to lift, Cerra needs to do something,oh well,onto next week we go
Go Blues
2 goals in 3/4 quarters of footy
Worse game of the year for us
Good review, we obviously don’t have the depth some of us thought we had, TDK, Acres, Williams & Harry out are stretching our depth now, had they played we probably would’ve won, I’m very concerned about next Saturday and losing a great position on the ladder, I must admit over the last 4 weeks I was really only nervous before the GWS game, I thought “we were that team” to respond differently, still enough footy left to turn it around hopefully, Go Blues!!
Btw it might be a Bulldogs/Hawks GF this year if things continue 😳😂
Unfortunately we all now know what I've said all along that we're not a premiership threat in any shape way or form as we have zero defensive mindset. Our forwards can't lock the ball up in our front half, our mids can't I the middle nor our backs. The number one trait of all premiership teams is their ability to defend. To deny the opposition the ball and the will to beat your man when the ball is in dispute.
So the change I would like to see this week in our team is laziness out, attitude in.
Defending is a mindset not a skill set. Until that changes, nothing else will !
I want Sam Mitchell as a coach he is the best coach atm.
The old true and tried solution - how has that worked out since Britain was sacked?
@@PetraKann Fair point I have favourites so do most people I reckon
@@BrandonStephen-p6q Fair enough.
Remember Mitchell and his Hawks looked very poor early this year.
Hang in there mate - there is a lot to play out yet in this season
@PetraKann OK 4 games to go before finals it is going to be a ripper finish
@@BrandonStephen-p6q Totally agree. This season has been one the most enjoyable I have seen the Club participate in so far.
And what a perfect way to start this run home with a clash with our long time arch enemy McCrae's Lexus Centre Circus Show.
" To date, Carlton and Collingwood have played each other 265 times in the VFL/AFL, with the ledger currently in Collingwood's favour (132 wins to Carlton's 129) and 4 draws.[4] They have met six times in Grand Finals, with Carlton successful five times to Collingwood's one"
On 7 May 1892, at Victoria Park, Collingwood and Carlton faced off for the first time, in Collingwood's first-ever VFA match. Carlton won the match 3.13 to 2.11
(bit inaccurate that day, but we got the 4 points and that's what it's all about. Everything else will follow and take care of itself. Nobody can predict what will happen in finals - different ball game)
Players looked cooked as I said last video. Something not right, again. Not sure why people always call for Brody kemp to always be brought back into the AFL side. Not trying to pick on him but for me, he’s just not good enough. Pitto got absolutely dominated which put us on the back foot every stoppage or centre clearance bounce. The synergy is gone. I can’t see us winning another game. All the other teams peaking around us while we whither away, battered and bruised. What a club! Can’t win any game of footy kicking only 1 goal in 2 qts of footy. Let’s see what shall transpire. I’m not optimistic at all though. Good work bucks.
@@Onlyfragheads maybe high performance an issue... was gonna give Russell a pass because the team looked OK mid year, but lately they aren't finishing games with the same energy. The next four are gonna count the most in that department, need to see some finals form.
Hey Bucky - issues, it feels like they are trying to fit cerra in - when he came back in we dropped hewett - that didn’t work so we bring hewett back in , so we move him to half back , and then don’t bring Boyd back in. We still have no idea who the 2nd ruck option is - young played all the year down back for the vfl , you are right not to criticise him. It felt like in the 2nd half we decided at halftime to just defend the lead . We are not a control the ball type team. I still don’t know how the afl can put us the last game on a Sunday and then first game next round. The last time we played port we both had a 5 day break. I might be proved wrong this week but I think we play the G better than marvel. Nearly every team in the 8 have had runs like we are currently having - there are teams currently outside the 8 that are in better form .
Hi Bucky, thought i saw you on the way to the ground.
I know they're blaming the 5 day break for conceding in the second half.. but one goal for two quarters was disgraceful. They wont have that excuse this week because its an 8 day break.
I think as a club we can get a lot of momentum if we can get one over our arch rivals next week.
Cowan defends strongly, but he isn't a great kick.. like Boyd. I dont get why Boyd is out... i think we need some X factor third forward type like Martin, do we just bring him back in, I would be in favour of that. Acres and McKay obviously sorely missed, hopefully they're straight back in.
I don't know what is happening with our midfield, Port obviously had their full contingent. We arent getting much from Carroll and Cunningham was a wasted selection. We seem to be one or two quality mids short. Would it be worth trying someone like Binns or Lord? . cant be much worse.
Just the old fried egg i like, or an omelet. Curried eggs are great, anything Curried i like. Years ago travelling in India by train, we got some street breakfast, egg bhurji i think its called. If you like your eggs curried you'd love that!
Carroll, marchbank, kemp, Cunningham and Martin can all go IMO some not good enough other too injury prone.
Lord > Carroll. I’ll put my house on it, would rather him over Binns as well footballing ability wise.
Martin is a proven finals performer and a key part of whatever success we had last year. At least in my view. I think we really miss him. Yeah, his body is always letting him down and we might let him go end of year if we can get a good replacement, but I'm talking the rest of this year.
@@Onlyfragheads yeah, I'm all for Lord coming in. I don't care about the reluctance to try new players at this stage or the year, it's surely better than Carroll and Cunningham
Been poor since 2 nd quarter against GWS. Too many passengers and don’t attack the game hard enough guys getting paid top money to constantly perform below average without accountability
Obviously labouring. Just not running on top of the ground. Praying it is due to a heavy loading at training (may explain the Swans dip as well). The swings in form in the AFL have been stark and quick so holding on to the hope our midfield get back to form quickly. Midfield need to lift both offensively (inside 50's are so low) and defensively (bar Weitering, our backs rely on support and they are just not getting much with the quick movement). Walsh lacking power and zip and his form correlates with the team's form showing how important he is to us. He seems to be just holding onto the ball too long.Probably because of lack of support. Watched the Giants up close last night and they barely hold onto the ball for a second before they offload with numbers always nearby. At the end of the day, we need to sustain our pressure and contest for longer. Hopefully we are getting extra miles in the legs to take us all the way to the last Saturday in September. Loved curried eggs (been years since I've had one though - might give mum a call).
Pendles 400 next up. We couldn't do it for Crippas 200, but the Scum will definitely humiliate us for Pendles 400th. Is that good enough motivation?
Hope it is!
@@benk7206 we all do! Half the time I feel like getting out there and doing it myself!
Are we in a heavy training block?
Its hurts but we had a lot go wrong 5 day break lost some real key players and a early injury.
Heston, like my eggs scrambled. Can you cook up something to help reinvigorate the boys.....thanks.
Let's get real here, Mediocrity has been at this club for years! We do not develop the kids coming up, and don't throw them in, Yea, Binns is an example for sure! As for Voss he has become delusional, playing guys out of position, and no other game plan than kick it down the line and bomb it into the 50 Players are been gifted games who should be dropped! Out should be, Kemp, slowies, Cottrell, and how Ollie keeps getting a gig is beyond me, he is turnover central with Kemp!
@@chefjack33 fair comments mate.
f.... spot on. The loss to Adelaide earlier this year at home was enough for me to know this team has not developed
@@myblueheaven3617 Also in review, about Pitto i keep saying, he can never run out a game, and Friday night was another example! BTW I had aioli eggs last night, nearly made curried ones ahahaha
@@Nathahn1 Been happening for years mate! Binns will be another Dow i think! Why get these guys and just leave them in the twos for so long? A lot are saying, Binns aint ready? Ok we'll leave him in the twos for another 3 years like we do! lol
@@chefjack33 he's light, but Cotterill over Binns? I seem more upside with Binns
I wonder mate whether we've again become predictable a subject we haven't mentioned.
Once they changed the dynamics of the team when players came back from injury , they haven't played with the same intensity and cohesion , just saying .
It's not over by a long shot
What's the difference between a curried egg and a devilled egg? I liked curried eggs so much i cooked half dozen and took a footlong roll to work. Ate all day and gave me the worst indigestion. Same as the last 5 weeks.
@@brianfeeney4791 sorry mate, what I had was a devilled egg.
Are we a chance to try Harry lemmey down back? Big lump of a lad not getting a chance with Charlie and Harry up forward. Should they be trying him down back in the vfl?
@@matt77980 They already have. Played the first part of the year in the VFL as a key defender
Another 20 years of rebuilding. I'll be long and gone by then.
Spewing we had no H and Acres - thought we might have one of those great Q4 from a month ago :(
My burning questions;
When things arent working out have we forgotten plan b or dont we have one?
Who is #3 behind Crippa and Walsh that can stand up?
When looking at replays and analysis as soon as the opposition gets it on the outside we arent anywhere to be seen - are we just reacting and ball following!?
Curnow was our best player Friday night
We lost this game when Harry pulled out. This caused them to triple team Charlie and freed Ratugulia to play forward which stretched our shithouse defence.
Harry plays Rat plays back and the outcome is different.
That said, Voss has a clear issue. He has no plan B. If we don’t win contested possession we fall to shit.
Teams guard the centre square against us which forces us down the wing which is not our natural game. Voss doesn’t have a plan to combat this.
They sit on Cripps and Walsh and we fall to shit. Again he doesn’t have a plan to combat this.
Cotteral is shit. Young is shit. Cowan and ollie need to get dropped.
Our bottom 6 players are rubbish. This is why we are inconsistent.
Furthermore, how can you get consistency making 4-5 changes a week? That’s 25% of the squad turned over every week. How is the team supposed to gel?
Wasn't our players and coaches "mantra" that we are stronger together, and that we play for each other, and to make each other better ?
What happened to that belief in each other? Can we get that back, or are we doomed to self destruct? The Grand Final is never won, on the merits
of one coach, or player, as an individual. Let's not forget that.
Been like that for 24 years!
🤣
Unfortunately u picked it Bucky . Well deserved protein hit
Played 1 quarter again and went missing for the other 3. If Carlton lose to Collingwood next week the finals will definitely be in doubt :( Again, a very poor performance! Carrying too many passengers! WTF with the midfield and forward line?
Agree. Massive rivalry game coming up against the pies….cant look past that game at this point!
@@benk7206 Carlton had to go on a massive winning streak last season to make the finals. They might go on a massive losing streak this season to miss the finals .
