Jones? Green?

Good?!

What have you been smoking?

Green had his best game (bar Adelaide where it took Matty Bate to judge a bad game) this season.

Jones pushed at every contest. Yes, he got smothered a coupla times, but he was always the first to pop up with the pill.

The Good

Mmm

The 1st half

Carlton,s injuries

Hard fought contest early

Some sad looks on a few Carton sorry Carlton supporters faces

Sylvia and Watts

Thinking we had half a chance

The Bad

No forward line

Kicking straight to the opposition

Not starting to play till the ball is in the back 50

The second half

2 many easy goals given away

Umpires who don't know what happened telling goal umpires what happened

Lack of tackling in the forward 50 (or none)

The Ugly

Russell Robinson trying to be a rock star

Jim Stynes trying to keep time and sing (love ya Jim but..)

Losing by 47 points in a low scoring game

Carlton down to 1.5 on the bench and the scoreline differential increasing

Carlton

The Good

Most of the team had a crack

Sylvia. His crash and bash was outstanding. Loved it also when he ran with Garlett the length of the wing and troubled him just enough to make him score only a point.

Jones

Our defensive game in the first half

Jetta got into the game a bit

We would have lost by 15 goals if not for Rivers being 3rd man up all night.

The Bad

Umpires - for both Blues and Dees. How about the soft 50m penalty to Watts. Ridiculous.

Clearances - we were absolutely smashed

Warnock's dropped marks, out-on-the-fulls, indecisiveness

Frawley's fumbling

Kicking into the forward 50

The Ugly

Morton (again)

Petterd (again)

Game plan set up to defend rather than win.

Missed free kick to Jordie when he had his head caved in by 2-3 Blues boys right in front of the umpire but - play on!

Coming back on after half time we did not cheer our boys back onto the ground - Carlton did. Bad form from us. My three kids and I did and it stood out like dogs b..ls.

The game was dead boring.

Certainly not a game you would show to someone that has not seen the game before. Would turn them off quickly.

Took a mate from Nth Qld for his 1st game.....he left at half time. Atrocious game to watch, I`m sure plenty switched off the tv at home before half time too.

Gee we have had some poor Fri nite matches in the last 5 yrs, not a great promotion for our club on prime time

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
