NON MFC: Rd 17 2021

[dees189227 12,361]

Hope freo beat the hawks, somehow it would be great if sydney could knock off the dogs and ginats beat gold coast and it would be so good if Carlton could upset the cats. 

Glad I was out last night and missed that horrible game. 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,336]

Looks like the Tasmanian public have given up on North and Hawthorn. I guess there's only so much dross they're willing to put up with. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

So are the Hawks this bad or are they laying down waiting to try and take a big scalp next week. Or Both.

[OhMyDees 1,834]

Hawks also sustaining injuries to both Scrimshaw and Brockman…

Yep I watched one quarter last night and that was one quarter too much.

[Demon Jack 6,844]

Scrimshaw and Jiath likely outs next week for Hawthorn. 

Getting absolutely rolled by Freo at the moment who aren't even playing that well.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,675]

I should be confident of a regulation 6 goal win against Hawthorn next week, but I’m not.

They’ve been completely out classed by a middle of the road Freo.

I hope we feel like we owe them one after they beat us at home earlier in the year due to dodgy umpiring. 

  Yes the maggots let them get away with murder that last 2-3 minutes, but we should never have allowed them to get that close. 
Very disorganised defence (Salem out for Jetta) and some millionaire moments from our mids.

It beggars belief but then we lost because of an umpire so I consul myself with that.

Maybe the hawks players are a bit flat after learning tis week Sam Mitchell will be coaching them after next season. 

It's amazing, freo kick accurately and they have a good win. 

Don't give Carlton much chance today. 2 big outs with Casboult and Liam Jones late outs. 

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Jones a massive out for Carlton. They have no chance now. 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,336]

Could've done with some of this fog for the game last night. 

[darkhorse72 1,901]

Competitive start by blues, better if they could kick straight.  

Hawks - I guess they just heard their coach has been sacked, it does affect players, as they start thinking of what Mitchell wants and not Clarkson...

 

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Carlton going 9% by foot is not going to help them. 

[Adam The God 30,026]

Weitering is a gun and will slot in nicely at full back when May retires. ;)

Feeling back at home @Rab D Nesbitt? Not sure if you're from Edinburgh, or could be up in the Orkney's , or elsewhere, but there is a bit of a haar' (if I recall correctly.)

Anyway, lets hope there are plenty of soft tissues today...

This is where I get paranoid. For no logical reason whatsoever, I'm convinced that a couple of the Blues' 7 points would have rolled the other side of the post if playing us. And that Geelong gets lucky far too often.

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Anyone under the age of 28 in a Geelong jumper who isn’t a D grader?

Hey EO, yeah haar is a great word. I'm from the fishing town of Fraserburgh on the north eastern tip. Known to locals as The Broch.

Geelong have played a number of similar games where the opponent has taken it up to them and had the rotten end of the stick with kicking for goal or umpires decisions. A few games could easily have gone the other way. Carlton are shockers - they did the same against the Eagles and could easily have been close to the eight if luck went their way.

[Return to Glory 8,411]

Four goals in half a game of footy. No wonder crowds are down. 

[DubDee 25,436]

15 inside 50s for Carlton. 

10 scoring shots

3 shots that didn’t score

How are Geelong in the top 4?!?!

[Adam The God 30,026]

1.9 is atrocious. And we complain about our goalkicking. :P Carlton need another tall target, otherwise they're far too one dimensional.

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Geelong get exposed at the G. They beat Richmond Collingwood and Hawks there. Lost to us by 25 points. Hardly convincing. 
The big space doesn’t suit their slow legs. They rely heavily on being one kick away from their forward 50.

Carlscum are wasting this. Would love to see girlong lose. Lyon keeps talking up carlscum all the time. It seems they are spanish fly to the commentators.
