spirit of norm smith 16,681 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Luke Hodge, Jonathan Brown and Leigh Matthews What biased comments!! They are idiots Incidental contact … WHAT BS He has eyes on the ball …WHAT BS Trying to punch the ball … WHAT BS Cripps decided to bump Jumped to leave ground Direct contact with head Loss of consciousness Player subbed straight off THATS 3-4 WEEKS, Probably two with guilty plea 3 1 1 Quote
Macca 17,132 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 The Lions have played well and will be tough to beat in a fortnight. They play their home ground well Carlton are ordinary and if we lost to them next week (with or without Cripps) that would be a huge disappointment 12.10 to 3.6 is damning 2 Quote
The heart beats true 18,201 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Carlton looked to have got their loading wrong (sorry, just saw my opportunity to turn this thread into every other thread and took it). 1 2 Quote

Mr Steve 3,820 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Sometimes you can just play the right team on the right week. That just has not happened with us this year. Quote
daisycutter 30,027 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 carlscum only 3 goals and they scored them all in <5 minutes they look like they have fallen off a cliff 1 Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,779 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Don't tell me Lions to replace us on percentage perhaps? Quote

von 1,580 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Would love to see Carlton miss the 8 after all the Carry on earlier this season 5 Quote
DubDee 26,795 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Carlton will be without Cripps, travelling back from interstate, 2 days less rest. Also missing Kennedy, Hewitt, Newman etc if we don't hammer them we don't deserve finals, let alone top 4 2 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Carlton getting murdered at the centre bounce. Another reason to be optimistic next week Quote
Guest Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 31 minutes ago, The heart beats true said: Oh I was talking about JK at The Eagles, but everything I said applies to JK at the Swannies. I think he was hoping to go on somewhere else next year, but this new injury might be the end of him sadly. Seems it’s a hammy that will likely end his season and possibly his career. But the WCE JK is easily my favourite non-MFC player. No fuss. So humble and unassuming. Just gets on with the job. He’ll be sorely missed. Quote
Kev 10,946 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Carlton can be hot or cold, from one week to the next They can play fast, down the corridor style and have the balance to kick goals and defend. The fast, take us on footy has been our Achilles heal this year. We thought we could control the Pie when they came at us. We need to be ready for their best. Against Brisbane, they can't get their hands on it. Edited August 7, 2022 by kev martin 1 Quote
pitmaster 3,592 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Lions percentage 126.6 at 3/4 time. 2.3% behind us. Can Blues. Edited August 7, 2022 by pitmaster Quote
dl4e 5,851 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Cripps won't be rubbed out. There is one main reason. They play us and the filth in the next 2 weeks and would have to win one of them. Tigers should win both of their games and the dogs should as well which would place Carlton out of the eight. Saints probably won't win another game for year. The AFL want Carlton in the 8 so will make sure their most important player does not get rubbed out. It may not make a difference anyway but they want Carlton to have as much probability of making the 8 as they can. Quote
Mr Steve 3,820 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Still a 54 point gap between Us and The Lions so we should stay third for at least one more week. Make that 61 points. Edited August 7, 2022 by Mr Steve 1 Quote

I genuinely think the AFL would be keen to give both teams a leg up. 1 Quote
Mr Steve 3,820 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 This is good, first it keeps Brisbane at bay and second takes a little of the heat out of the hiding Carlton will get in the press this week. 1 Quote
Mickey 4,777 Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Why aren't the Bears players allowed to own a dog? Because they can't hold a lead... I'll see myself out 2 4 Quote
