swans inaccuracy could be the difference

Muth-win game

Salem a chance to be the sub this week given he’s coming back from injury. It looks like Petty will be second ruck.

I used to think you were just uneducated but now I realise you're a troll.

Geeeeezuz, 50 meter goal from 7-8 steps sideways from goal

Jordan is Goodwin watching

It seriously does my head in how many times Oliver gets done for throwing yet Cripps never does. They throw it about the same amount.

This whole fast starts for Carlton won’t happen after this week. Clubs will adjust.

Surely that was a recalled bounce? Umpiring basics continue to be a problem

Why doesn’t opposition club get to have its cheer squad behind the goals when playing Sydney?

It’s frustrating to watch Sydney do the one thing we couldn’t early last week. Find a way to kick a goal.

Pressure is so important. Carlton getting of to another flyer, why can’t we do this? Getting back into games is admirable but only gets you so far.

Still early but Sydney looking a bit ordinary.

4 goals down against a VG team... almost game over

Sydney’s defence look too small.

Blues winning isn’t a bad thing. They have a hard month of footy so will drop a couple more anyway. At least by winning they keep Swans within reach.

Does anyone else remember an interview with Cyril Rioli where he was asked if he was the best player from his community and he responded by laughing and basically saying there were heaps of better players than him? I *think* he even said his cousin was way better than him? So extrapolating outwards, this would suggest that there are a lot of people from indigenous communities that don’t end up playing professionally. If we’re worried about a shallowing of the pool of players, here’s an option: If one of those reasons is having to move 1000’s of km away or not having infrastructure set up to pipeline them to an AFL club as to why some of these guys don’t end up playing professionally, wouldn’t a NT club at least give access/incentive to these remote communities? (Edit: Rioli didn’t seem like he was just being humble when he said what he said)

Salem better have a blinder thinking he is past it This game will tell he can't hide and no excuses he is picked he is ready Mistake in my view. Hope I'm wrong

This. They haven't got a midfielder under 30 who likes like becoming A grade, let alone a superstar. Long may it last.

Cripps throws the ball.* *Just getting in early.

This deserved a crisp response.

No such thing as a guaranteed starting spot when you are a fringe player at best. A starting spots is earned. 🙌

Ditto. 👏👏👏truth .

Yes. Play someone as a sub for 11 games in a season … then offer a contract. Jordon and Bedford weren’t given the opportunity and saw better chances elsewhere. That’s the uncomfortable truth of it.

[censored] Carlton. Swans by 50 please. Who will the umps favour? They love both teams.
