Carlton fans celebrating like they won a flag

I guess when you’re a club that’s been on the bottom for 20 years this is like a flag for you. 

We really miss Petty already. He would have taken a few marks we sorely missed tonight. Maybe in that last minute. 

Securing top 2 will be tricky now, especially playing a desperate Swans over there in the final round.

The baggers locked it up well at the end, unfortunately that last call will always be contentious depending on which side of the fence you sit. Not happy Jan! Really just needed to kick a bit straighter. Lot of difference between 8.8 and 10.6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well that sucked hard after being on such a high after the Matilda’s game.

Those three quick goals at the start of the last hurt.

Can’t wait to hear all about Carlton in the media this week 😒

Said it last week. Losing Petty will cost us a flag. We are not going to kick the scores we need against quality opposition without a decent power forward.
 

your medal is in the mail

JVR’s legs taken from under him.

The advanced hair treatment has gone to Ray’s head - had some absolute howlers.

Yes it was lol Can clearly see his fingers moved.

Well not even The Ark could see it.

I know the goal line decisions going to be the main talking point but really we have so many problems that need addressing before worrying about that. 
 

Selection on a greasy/wet night was not great.

Still love bomving it long to outnumbered or out sized contests.

Players don’t shepherd for each other, don’t do the hard yards for each other.

Max whinges more than the whole of England. Also flops around like a fish out of water.

Salem has some of the worst disposals I’ve seen in a long time. He was once elite at hitting a target now he is elite at panicking and butchering the ball.

As bizarre as it sounds Petty out might cost us any chance. 

Robbed.

We didn't play our best and were beaten around the clearance. Carlton players running hard to be everywhere.

But.... We Gave it everything. Very proud of our players for their effort.

.We had players tripped. Last goal to Carlton for a push in the back was followed by numerous Melbourne's players just driven face first into the turf.

We didn't get a HTB all night did we?

That was not touched. The video review 2001 Dick Smith webcam systems are farcical.

rooouted.

 

 

The best team won...

Come on Dee supporters dont give them baggers any reason to gloat. JUst nod and say see you in September. There will be lots of nashing of teeth over the last touched call. But games are won over 100 minutes not just one. Both teams were good tonight, it was a great  warm up for the finals. 

Move on to the Hawks next week

You wouldn't be saying that if it was a final its a flawed system, just get the decisions you can right that's what the videos for.

#FMD.

Absolutely gutted! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Losing by 4 points to Carlscum! Yuck! 🤢🤮

Brodie Grundy is not our forward answer.

Not sure how they missed that, pretty clearly took him below the knee and it wasn’t a smother. Annoying.

Soft call doomed it

Should have found a way to win that. On the other hand we could not have been more fumbley or dropped more marks, the other mob will never have so much go right again.  2nd spot is going to be hard to get now unless the Pies can knock off the Lions next week.

Hell of a game.

Carlton can win the flag.

Score review sucks.

We looked 100 times better once Jordon was off, Hibberd went back and Smith forward similar to what the smart ones here (me) proposed all week because the overall balance was so much better.

Grundy isn’t a forward but he’s an excellent ruck and stemmed the centre clearance bleeding in the last quarter which ultimately lost us the game.

You are right on Grundy, was better than Max when in the ruck.

Thought JVR played his heart out tonight. Such good signs of things to come. 
 

Still backing us come September. 

Also Luke Sayers - get a big dog up ya.

I hope the Senate inquiry cooks you hard. 

Yes we'll miss Petty but need more from mids in stoppages, Vines aside. Hated our cute floaty kicks that get intercepted. Loved Rivers. 

Sadly robbed 

Whether it was touched or not, we'll never know for sure. But we were NOT robbed. Carlton were the better side and but for poor finishing and some great defence by May and Lever would have been five goals ahead by quarter-time. If anyone is looking for blame, just re-run that awful first quarter. I'd just say two things: (1) James Jordon is a long way from  premiership quality. (2) Gawn and Grundy is a same-day mix that has more minuses than plusses.

Media fawning over Carlton  is nauseating! 

FFS umpiring didn’t cost us that game. 
 

Carlton were hungrier for 99.9% of the contest. Facts.
