Round 19

[rjay 24,882]

Carlton a bit stiff to lose tonight but the story to me was how flat Freo look. Malthouse had it all over Lyon tonight and if it wasn't for the class of Fyfe then they were up right up the creek. Maybe the close win will kick it into gear for them but at the moment they look anything but a premiership threat.

[Ted Lasso 19,285]

How good was Fyfe, ten contested possessions and a couple of goal assists in the final quarter

it's abit unfreo like the way they're going at the moment, I really hope they can get it right and be a feature this finals series.

Very; Ross seems to have lost his mojo at the moment.

[ijbfossil 77]

Fyfe an absolute Superstar. Dockers not nearly as good as last year at the moment. Problems up forward - Pav probably will be O K after the knock tonight - Mzungu loss for a bit will be a problem.

Ballantyne held until the last quarter but another match winner. Dawson still a worry for Ross.

As I have a soft spot for Carlton seeing as my mum barracks for them, I was glad to hear they took it right up to Freo, just couldn't close it off with a win. I didn't watch the game as I had a nap, wether Carlton were good tonight, Freo looked flat, or both, Carlton should pat themselves on the back, winning by under a goal over in Perth to a potential top 4 team. I just wish our game against Freo wasn't as crud as it was

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Why were Freo wearing their clash strip at a home game? I thought Carlton had an all white strip themselves.

Home team should always wear home colours and be up to the visiting team to have an appropriate clash strip. Even if it means having more then one possible clash jumper

They wore white as part of the tribute paid to the Maslin children, Fremantle supporters who died when MH17 was brought down.

Sydney off to a good start without Buddy, Membrey looking good in the first Q.

[Whispering_Jack 29,784]

What we saw last night from Sydney is what I expect to see from Melbourne in 2016. Hard, unrelenting two way running and a tremendous defence. The Swans and the Hawks look light years ahead of the rest.

Wash your mouth out with petrol and then have a smoke HH.

Alternatively, you could simply have nothing more to do with your mother.

I posted my awe of these two teams after watching their recent game WJ. I was particulary impressed by both teams ability to dispose of the ball under pressure.

Sadly, however, we look more like playing that type of footy in 2026.

Should change your name to Bitter and Pessimistic then.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

Bitter and Twisted seems more suitable at times.

Damn you BBO, I am sitting at my local cafe after a 100km bike ride having a coffee, and after reading this I laughed so hard I spat my coffee over my table. Now everyone here thinks I am bitterly twisted!

i thought 2026 sounded quite optimistic maurie

sure od would agree too

[Sir Why You Little 36,977]

Just as long as Essendrug DO NOT make the top 8

[daisycutter 29,604]

Just as long as Essendrug DO NOT make the top 8

it will have to be 10th then as 9th is reserved for toiges

[Sir Why You Little 36,977]

Win a few late...but just miss the 8..

Not a big fan of the Blues I see BBO

[old dee 23,781]

Adelaide could have knocked Esendrug out of the 8 but failed hard

Pathetic effort from the Crowbots

Tell someone who cares hh

I dislike the Crows with deep intensity.

Them out of the top eight makes my day.

surely u would rather the drug cheats out of the 8 than the Crows

You're right on the money Hulkster. In fact I I think the moderators should give you a severe sanction for showing Carlton any consideration on Demonland. It must violate the code of conduct ...surely?

Sorry Bitter, it won't happen again

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

OK Hulk, I've just been out watching "the lads" stomp foxes, so I'm in a forgiving mood.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,358]

Watching quality teams midfielders kick low, direct, bullet like passes to a leading forward..... wow, what a concept.
