GO THE MIGHTY BLUES!!!

Sheeeeet, did I say that out loud???

 

Carlton are my second team.
Please don’t judge me. 

No no no no no!! Don't say it, type it, feel it or think it. An abomination that causes desolation!

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,336]

I'm torn as to which pack of these tip rats I want to win. 

[Ollie fan 3,349]

An absolute throw by Cripps when tackled, in Richmond forward line – no free. Some players are untouchable.

Too late. I’m a lost cause. At this point even an exorcism wouldn’t do it.

If we had a Harry McKay we’d be sitting at 12-1.

All good. Even I judge me. 😭

No one puts any attention into Jayden Short. Nearly 1000 metres gained tonight.

And we would be a very complete side. But in that bizzaro world, Weid would have won the Coleman 3 years running. 

[DubDee 25,433]

Tigers 8 points behind us with zero injuries

[Clintosaurus 7,808]

EAD Carlscum. Should shut their [censored] supporters up for a few minutes.

[Willmoy1947 4,069]

Imagine how much Carlton would have lost by if the maggots bothered to pick up the throws

So how long do the boys get off this week? Hopefully they use it to have a good rest & stay out of any trouble.

I noticed de goey went to Bali. Interesting decision.

We could have, he was taken after Weid.

[layzie 33,722]

Excellent, good job Tiges!

[rolling fog 1,207]

Both of tonight’s sides look like they’d have us covered at the moment.

People keep saying we haven’t beaten anyone. In fact, we took Richmond apart in everything except the size of the winning margin - because we kicked so inaccurately. We were miles better than them.

Maybe but atm we are not playing the same brand of football

I watched this game with a lot of interest and there were three very stark differences to the way we play atm

1. A willingness to run and carry moving the ball forward as quickly as possible

2. Effective tall forwards that if they don’t mark bring the ball to ground so their small forwards can go to work 

3. Consistent pressure acts when not in possession meaning opposition has less time to dispose effectively 

I don’t think the way we’ve played over the last month or so we’d beat either of those sides last night which is obviously a big concern because they are both lapping at our heals 

Lets hope we regain some form and fast 

It would be great if BB and Weid watched how physical the tall forwards were in this game - I don’t think they have it in them to replicate that but it would be nice if they could

As I've posted several times before, I don't understand why the commentators don't call this out. More relevant than most of their air filling.

AFL directive not to criticise umpires?

If it looks like a throw acts like a throw, then it is a throw.

Except when it's Carlton doing it.

Or Bulldogs, Cats, Eagles to mention a few other perennial offenders.

[layzie 33,722]

Yes we are only 2 games ahead of teams like Richmond and Collingwood. This is what happens when you lose 3 on the bounce, very much not ideal no matter what the excuse. 

[Lucifers Hero 39,320]

If Cats, Saints and Sydney win their games vs Eagles, Ess and Port by even a couple of goals, Carlton will go from 4th to 7th by tomorrow night.

When you watch a game like last night's, it's confusing because you think that your team is be adjudicated by a different set of rules.Take for example pushing into fence. MFC game, free straight away. Arguing with umpire free straight away. Going off the mark before play on, err forgot to blow whistle free and 50 straight away.  Yet we all saw those being flaunted.

Winners at last please tell me you thought Crisp's handball to Cox for his goal on Monday was a throw. I just want to find one person that agrees with me on this 😝
