Just to rub it in.

Not good enough.

Carlton just doing what they want.

Very disappointing.

Free flowing and bold football last week and first half this week, then slow, stagnant, conservative football after half time this week

Steele and Crouch zero touches in the last quarter.

Would be nice to have Acres on the list.

How Higgins and Gresh get a game over Billings is beyond me.

Losing sux.
I hate it.

But...at the start of the season with all the injuries most of us...me, you, we...all thought we'd end up 8-14 in most conversations.

Instead we have been in the 8 ALL SEASON.

We are still in the 8 even if we lose.

Pretty damn miraculous to be honest...

Woeful after HT after being in a winning position

Some of the hack kicks

Some of the dropped marks

Winderhager is clueless at HB

And Caminiti and Sharman were horrible

Pathetic.

Can’t even beat a undermanned Carlton in a season defining game.

Not sure where to from here..

Carlton are top 4 on current form, we are bottom 4.

Surprised it was so close for so long.

Good on Acres. Happy for him. Smart, well-run clubs don't give up players like that. Compare his game to Hill's and the cost to our salary cap.

Captain and Coach need to take responsibility.

A really poor game by Steel and farg me dead when is Lyon going to get a plan B, having numbers behind the ball but why when you are in front and shown the team has some attacking ability.

Gresham was one of the Blues better players.

couple of players short of a good team..in the last qrt could not get their hands on the ball

could not win a clearance so this is the area that will be concentrated on in the off season.

We've had plenty of opportunities, just not making the right decisions. The sooner Gresham f**** off the better! 🤦‍♂️

I’m a big Steele fan, but absolutely borderline pathetic performance by him in a big game.
