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).

    = 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...

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
