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

    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

    Carlton looked to have got their loading wrong (sorry, just saw my opportunity to turn this thread into every other thread and took it).

    = mandatory suspension if rules are followed!

    we will see 


    Another problem is he made no attempt to touch the ball, just braced for the bump and got him.

    It would be nice if Carlton play like this next week. 

    If we can't beat this mob off a travelling 6 day break vs  us 8 day. Stick a fork in us

    If Saints win the night before against Brisbane... Carlton will be fighting to stay in the 8

    Should be a good win for us but.................

    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

    Carlton getting murdered at the centre bounce. Another reason to be optimistic next week

    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.

    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.

    Lions percentage 126.6 at 3/4 time. 2.3% behind us. Can Blues.

    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.

    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.

    I'd call you a conspiracy nutter but that would also make me a conspiracy nutter. I genuinely think the AFL would be keen to give both teams a leg up.

    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.

    Why aren't the Bears players allowed to own a dog?

     

    Because they can't hold a lead...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
