Taylor Walker only gets a week suspension. A bit light.

Yeah it's clear now more than ever that they assess the outcome rather than the incident itself.

If the Geelong player didn't return to the field, Walker wouldn't be playing Melbourne in 2 weeks.

Agree. What they should be looking at instead is the potential for that action to cause serious injury to the brain, not the outcome. If they are serious about thuggery and head clashes that's what they'll do, but it is the AFL, bunch of crooks.

Ok I know it's still 2 days away but I just saw the fixture and saw the Friday night game. Are the AFL serious? StKilda v Carlton? How do the Saints get a friday night game, that game should be on saturday at our timeslot and we could have had that friday night game. I mean surely we deserve one more than the saints. There are even other games that are more worthy on friday night. Any of the 3 sunday games or gws and tigers. 

Lewis Martin from 7 would know that friday night not a lot of people will be tuning in and it won't be great ratings for them. 

Just looked at the fixture for tonight's game.  Wow - can't wait.

I normally watch at least a quarter or two between other viewing, but not sure that tonight's game warrents as much as a 5min flick for a curious score check.

It just ducks that Carlscum would have been able to milk additional sponsorship  $ out of Friday night exposure.  Let's hope that changes next year.

I will actually tune into this game because I will find it intriguing. Maybe the blues will do something we couldn't do a few weeks ago. If the saints play the way they did against us they will smash Carlton. 

Wowee, boy oh boy , you really feel like....

 

nup cant do it.

Imagine had the ‘victim’ been a Carlscum player.  Tex could have received a life time ban after the CFC doctor’s autopsy report, after which the victim would have played the next week and been BOG ?

Gee Cripps is good to watch. Carlton are lucky to have him. Im also liking the access the saints have given Matthew  Richardson on the interchange bench. 

You can slice it, dice it, boil it, fry it - no matter what spin or half price tickets you put on it - this is just an ordinary game of footy.

Off to read my book and mentally prepare for tomorrow afternoon.

Jed Lamb living up to the legacy of former Carlton greats by being an eye gouger  and then topping it off by kneeing someone in the back. 

What a class act he is. ?

Channel 7 should sack Brendan Bolton, the Blues are awful.

The bias towards Carlton by mcevaney and co is disgusting.

You can’t take a team seriously if they turn up for a night game wearing pajamas.

I could only manage to watch about 5 minutes. Awful footy and WTF are Carlton wearing, pyjamas?

i thought that their song mentioned something about navy blue! 

Fantastic scheduling Gil and henchmen.

Personally if b brown commented on how I played I would drop the bloke next game. Afl is a basket case. No wonder we are losing kids to other sports. A joke !

What makes this game so hard to watch is that the commentary team want the Blues to win so badly.  Every time they do something half decent they are making it out to be the play of the century.  Everyone else can see the Blues absolutely stink and are a horrible football club who are going nowhere.

It's player takeover week, they've been doing it all week on all their shows.

Just Channel 7's attempt at saving face for another godawful fixturing decision that's partly their fault. This fixture has been the butt of jokes all week long but you'd never know watching 7's coverage. They were probably instructed beforehand to be overwhelmingly positive about Carlton, to avoid a mass switchoff by viewers (as if anyone was tuning in in the first place).

You're being silly. 3 am would be more appropriate. It's excruciatingly bad. It's like watching a train wreck.

Very insightful interview of Simon Lethlean from Richo. Onya Channel 7.

You should have written that in very small font

I just don’t see Bolton doing anything as a coach to lift his side. How long is his contract?

3am on Sunday morning people are still awake. 

9am is a “dead zone” apart from those in hospital
