Some of his shots for goal were so bad you had to wonder if he was doing it on purpose.īlues fans are angry, and so they should be. The Blues were facing an undersized and undermanned defence, and with Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay up forward, this should have been a massive advantage for them.īut like in junior footy when one team is a few short, some of the opposition players play for them, and Curnow and McKay played for the Swans.Ĭurnow finished with one goal and three behinds, while McKay butchered the ball with great enthusiasm. The Swans have hardly been shooting the lights out this season, but against Carlton they looked like a top four side, seizing the game when it was in the balance, and showing a passion that was lacking in their opponents. Whatever you say about Carlton, they do have a brand.įriday night was about as bad as it gets for a team, especially one that is supposedly on the rise.īut that’s the Blues, always on the rise, without ever rising. What you really want is idiotic hysteria.īoard members fighting, board members quitting, embarrassing losses, heaps of injuries, kicking for goal like they’d never touched a footy before, giving up when the game is on the line. On a Monday, you want irrational reaction. Footy is a passion, not some cold hearted, spread sheet dominated rational exercise.
