The skills and decision making in that GC / Carlton were quite simply deplorable and is miles from where it should be from so called professional footballers. The AFL is all a huge money making con but as long as fans continue to support it in its current form (and credit to them as no one wants to see their own club fall by the wayside) little will change and to think they're talking about expanding it to 20 teams is beyond belief.

Agreed... the standard is woeful... can't wait to see what happens mid year when the bad weather hits and or teams who cant make it park the bus to stop the bleeding.
The skill level across the board is deplorable. I only have enough tolerance to watch the crows games each week in full.... after 2 hours of watching their ineptness to do the basics i've got nothing left to sit through the tripe that most sides seems to dish up as the new standard.

Catch ya for a beer in September as both sides won’t be playing finals.
Both teams will be looking for coaches as well around that time I suspect. We can only hope

I don’t feel as bad about Thursday result considering some of the efforts over the weekend. We certainly aren’t the worst side going round.

Nah not of shadows just the ball. Who's got that photo of him and Hampton handy. If so please share, it's a ripper.

You're not far off. Actually I think u are the worst side. At least carlton have some upside about them.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.
