NON MFC: Rd 12 2021

[Demonland 72,176]

Not a fan of the commentary team not being at the ground.

I'll be very interested to see how the Dogs go this afternoon/evening. If they go back to pantsing the opposition and winning by 10 goals of free flowing hollywood handball, I'll think less of them than if they're challenged and can actually grind out a victory when it's not all going their way.

[DubDee 25,854]

Crowd at the blues v WC game is horrible. 

thought it was in Melb for a minute!

[Ollie fan 3,370]

How nice it is too watch other teams and think, Gee these teams are rubbish.

Watching a bit of Carlton v WC. Gee these teams are rubbish.

[Diamond_Jim 12,578]

Out of interest were they mixing in a bit of "canned crowd noise" on Friday night.

The background murmuring etc just sounded fake at times.

The scoring reactions sounded accurate.

This game looks like it's being played in slow motion.

Just what I was about to note 

and no one seems to be energetic or enjoying themselves apart from Eddie Betts

[Return to Glory 8,436]

Carlton has a couple of players that are going to be coach killers imo- Paddy Dow and Zac Fisher. Maybe add Jack Martin and Zac Williams. The Zac Williams trade was insane. Please play him in the midfield when we meet again.

I love the 3 rule changes that have opened the game up. 6-6-6 formation, 15m back from kick ins, and stationary man on the mark. General play is so much better to watch.

But some of the basic kicking skills in many games are absolute rubbish. Freo v anyone, Pies v Crows yesterday, Eagles v Blues today. Really bad watching sub standard skills. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Liam Ryan has made this match watchable.

The best part of the Carlton v West Coast telecast has been the ads for Four N’ Twenty Pies. 

[BDA 22,751]

West Coast are unfit. Carlton, bad as they are, are still a chance in this game.

I am a fan of having good commentators. Where they are doesn't really bother me.

[Stevienic23 1,183]

How many 20 point losses are you gonna have Carlton? You won't get a better crack at WCE

[Jaded No More 68,913]

This game is sooooo dull. I switched over to watch a show about people with OCD. Far more interesting. 
 

Looking forward to Freo letting me down as per usual, but will be barracking hard for them.

This game is the old fashioned curtain raiser before the big one. The jump in quality will be like in the old days.

Are there crowd number restrictions at SCG or is that all up there who have any interest?

IF crowd number restrictions then why crowd those in the one spot?

 

[titan_uranus 25,016]

Carlton have to find four goals in 8 minutes to save their season.

[Clintosaurus 7,844]

Carlton have no system.

This is something that mystify's me as well. They were all in one area at our game on Friday night.

Only conclusion, it is about the cost and not the risk.

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

this is carlton's third rebuild since the late 90s? first malthouse top up era, then judd era, now cripps era

reminds me of the mfc era when the watts / $cully / trengove era didn't work and we had to go back and develop again with salem / trac / brayshaw / oliver

they should let cripps walk as a free agent and get the first round pick they [censored] away on saad back
