NON MFC: Rd 20 2021

[Demonland 73,465]

Why couldn't Carlton kick this straight against Geelong?

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

The Matilda’s game is enthralling. Great match so far.

Why couldn’t we kick this straight against Hawthorn and the Bulldogs. 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

...and Matildas score in extra time...!! 3-2!

[ANG13 2,086]

It’s as if the Matildas are playing the Bulldogs, given that garbage penalty. 

[Clintosaurus 7,926]

4-2!!! Unbelievable.

? football.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,240]

Anyone know what Taylor saw in Weideman to justify picking him over Harry McKay?

[ANG13 2,086]

Great win by the Matildas. Carlton 14.1 wow, Sam Walsh is a bloody gun. 

[DubDee 26,295]

People reckon Ratten will last the year?

solid list and just show no fight and horrible skills.

I guess he didn’t have a crystal ball. 
 

And any chance we will analyze Carlscum’s goal kicking tonight, and have some “learnings”?

I’ve really rated him over the years. Something stinks about them this year, but the same could have been said about us in 2019.

The difference is we traded well after 18 and got some spine about us. They don’t have any structure, and spent money on midfielders who haven’t delivered.

What annoys me more is I picked the saints in the tipping!  More flaky than us

I reckon the difference is they don’t have quality at the back.
Their lack of skills and gameplan has to come back to coaching though

Who’s the Blues goalkicking coach? Get him in at any price. 15.2. Really!!!

Most of Carlton’s set shots have been elementary and Walsh has snapped a few beautys. McKay snagged a set shot from outside 50 on the flank that none of our blokes could pull off.

Meanwhile we take all our set shots from sharp angles.

Carlton showing if you kick straight what can happen. Makes a big difference. Maybe just maybe the players are playing for Teague. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Can you imagine we had McKay in our side.. As good as JT has picked recruits that is one monumental misjudgement. In fairness it is difficult to pick a KPF.

I just spent 2 minutes Googling 2015 AFL phantom drafts and found the following four, all of which rated Weideman above Mackay:

Before tonight they'd kicked more behinds than goals, including 5.14 three weeks ago vs Geelong.

[Happy Jack 197]

Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didn’t watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

Oh please don't start BBP, I'm trying to forget this even transpired.

Port, Swans and Lions all have difficult games this weekend. GWS and Essendon in the mix for the 8 so have everything to play for while the Hawks in Tassie won't be easy for the Lions and particularly post the Clarko announcement

Us to win and those 3 teams to lose would make a perfect weekend.

And the cherry on top would be North beating Geelong in Tassie. Very unlikely but you never know.

JT would’ve been the greatest recruiter of all time had he selected a Coleman medalist and a probable top 3 Brownlow medalist in the same first round’s draft.
