Handballing was horrendous

Small forwards are worst in the league and nothing was done about it over the preseason Francis Evans **** me dead.

Kicking is equally shit, been an issue for years.


And they blew up two drafts for a bloke who did a knee a few weeks ago!

If the Saints or Bombers did that, they’d give the coach a 3 year extension.

FFS, what a **** disaster. But yet, as I type that, I really expect it.

A Richmond supporter at work said we'd win by 75+ and I said "mate, we'll be lucky to win by 25". If we kicked straight, maybe but ultimately we didn't deserve it.

Anyone see the footage of the Carlton players walking down the race after the game?
I didn’t see it last night but watching footage just now and fair to say the supporters weren’t impressed

Some of the profanity used was just ridiculous!

Think there was an earthquake in Melbourne last night.... either that or the sound of 30,000 Carlton fans, jumping off the bandwagon.

The Blues, the gift that just keeps giving!

Never seen a side with such poor inside 50's.

Now i get there always going to be a side that generally kicks long entering 50 given their play is based around McKay and Curnow.

But I'm sure that at least 80% of their kicks inside 50 were deep into the pockets. Even when they had blokes like Docherty streaming through the centre of the ground the kick inside 50 just straight into the pocket. They were allergic to the old 'hot spot'. All i could work out was they felt Richmond guarded the forward corridor well. Either way it didnt work.

I’m not sure the wide entries were totally deliberate.
Poor execution and skills for the most part.

Ah Carlton...

Last night was the reason I cannot watch their games anymore... they are pathetic...

I have more than enough pain in my life these days, I don't need anymore piled on top by those idiots...
