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

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).

According to Leigh Mathews - “I suspect that’s incidental contact” LMAO 🤣 

Bit like the way Elbows Leigh played...incidental contact

= 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.................

Sometimes you can just play the right team on the right week. That just has not happened with us this year.

carlscum only 3 goals and they scored them all in <5 minutes

they look like they have fallen off a cliff

Don't tell me

Lions to replace us on percentage perhaps?

Yeah your probably right. 

Would love to see Carlton miss the 8 after all the Carry on earlier this season 

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.

Edited August 7, 20223 yr by pitmaster

Every blues goal is vital

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.

Margin’s back to 27pts. 😱

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

 

Because they can't hold a lead...

 

I'll see myself out
