Rubbish quarter

Our first choice backmen won't be losing any sleep tonight

 

Scores?

That half was more of a stinking pile of sh*t than The Phantom Menace.

Plus May. The other point that with May as the anchor, the other players back there have a reference point and can play and structure up accordingly - and do so week after week so they hone their systems. None of that on display today.

First time ever i have been happy that nobody bother to post scores in Game-Day threads.

Sounds like the umps are loving their new 50 m penalty power too.

I legit didn't know Jack Martin was playing until the last 20seconds. Glad he refused to meet with us.

It's a practice match. The scum are playing out of their skins and we are going through the paces.

Has no relevance to the real stuff.

Yep and we somehow lost to Adelaide last year when he was out injured.

A 50 paid against Tomlinson for shaking his head and putting his hands on his knees.

Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

The umpiring has been deplorable. The only thing that's been worse is our skill level. Glad we had this game now. Been too good for too long. Stop drinking their bathwater. Hunt has made sure he won't get a game for a long time has had an absolute stinker. Smith and Baker are not up to it.

It was a rubbish half aside from the first 5 or so minutes.

five of our premiership back six out but our entire starting midfield not defending doesn't help

Going half baked and playing some pretty disrespectful Hollywood footy. I hope they dont think they can just switch it on in a couple of weeks.

Say what you want about him (and I do), Fritsch is a man who knows how to kick sausage rolls.

One team thinks it's playing in the Grand Final. Not concerned at all if fact we will end up winning this. 

Carlton are having a go and we are not even bothering to match them Lazy football. It is only a practice match so is forgivable but they want to get their heads cleared up before the 1st round.

It's like we came out and gave half a damn for the first 5 minutes to see if Carlton would roll over and let us have our way with them. When it became clear they are treating this match like the final audition for the part of young Anakin (keeping the theme of the thread), the boys just noped out of it and have been jogging ever since.

The Phantom Menace is actually great. Recommend giving it another shot.

Joel Smith on the other hand...

Oh [censored] yeah.... tomlinson got done for shaking his head. 

Can you imagine if that cost you a goal in a final. 

Pre game I thought Carlton’s outs were more influential than ours.

However all are outs are from our backline whereas their stars are spread across the 3  units.

That and we’re disinterested and comfortable where we sit as a side at the moment, while they’re going hell for leather to impress Voss (and they look impressive in fairness to them)

Its also part of the afl plan to build up blues to get a big crowd and huge expectations.

Tiges then thump them as usual 

Good point, we must have taken a brown paper bag deal........(very Carlton like).

5 premiership backmen not playing. Hollywood football aside, let’s get get a little bit of perspective. 

What's the definition of umpire abuse?   Clearly "youre a fckn [censored]" is abuse but is it not ok to say that decision was crap anymore?
