From what I’ve seen of the Dees this season we would fold under this pressure, and badly.

That’s what happened last season after we won 4 in a row. That kind of intense pressure seems alien to the way we play.

What is it with the umpires.

They've been instructed to just ball the ball up now and not take time telling players they're moving out backwards (has anyone ever seen an ump throw the ball up or bounce it and run forward).

...yet, they are law unto themselves and despite instructions still seem to what to tell players they're moving out the back.

This type of thing has been going on for years now with any rule interpretation. They enforce it one week and by week 3 it's back where it was in the first place.

No wonder the game is going backwards...

The different interpretations from different umpires as well. Umpire 14 has paid incorrect disposal more than the other 3 umpires combined tonight.

And now they're trying to get west coke back into it.

Geez, Swans kept goalless in two quarters and still walk away with the points.

Oh no, that never happens apparently!

Aliir Aliir looked good for his first game back in a while

Massive pressure by both teams

Bloody hell the umpires love Frankenstein

Last three minutes of third Q

- the first a dive that would make the Tiger “world best ever defender” Prancer look an honest man, followed by another real softie 

Did you not see the stories last week about him being paid the most free kicks against in the entire league?

Classic even ups...

Pretty sure Hocking's super committee are looking seriously into it 'daisy'.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,965]

I struggle to get into viewing any game played at the SCG, the ground is just too small.

especially when so much of the camera work is close-up

Yep, similar to televised Etihad games. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,268]

I see the Blues are saving themselves for the Pies next week. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Might have our first coach sacking on Monday. Might even get two on the same day.

 

[dl4e 5,851]

Carlton are more pathetic than I imagined. It brings back the memories of the dark days under Neeld.

[Sir Why You Little 37,122]

Wow. I wish these Bastards were this bad in the 70’s and 80’s

enjoy it you thieving Scum...

[Demon Disciple 12,270]

Might have to tune in to FC on Monday night to see what pathetic excuse Judd trots out this week.

[Whispering_Jack 30,634]

Sam Docherty said before the game that he expected the team to invigorated by the bye.

One of the greatest blooper comments of all time. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

This would have been a great Friday night game for the AFL. 

[DemonWheels 1,074]

Enjoying Carlton going goalless for the first half against a team that’s younger and less experienced.

[dees189227 12,398]

Wow I actually gave Carlton a chance today, but this is just horrible. There could be a mass walk out at half time. This was a team that beat essenscum who have beaten teams like geelong and gws at there home ground. 

Well the loser out of the suns and saints could escape scrutiny because I think next week the focus will be on Carlton. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,122]

and they want more games at the MCG...

Time to stand up Demons

[Drunkn167 5,093]

This is absolutely woeful by the Blues

[SFebes 4,884]

Put them on Friday nights I say
