NON-MFC: Round 01



Recommended Posts

Why are Blues players allowed to determine where the mark is and almost always run over the actual mark without ever being called back?

There’s another team who have figured out how to win tight matches.

Yep.

Get the umpires to give you everything, have your opponent down 3 players for most of the game, off a 5 day break and  have an opposition player play on from a set shot 2 metres out and miss.

That’s the way to win.

Richmond and Yze deserve massive credit for that performance. They almost won it. 
 

Richmond are going down and this is Carlton’s first realistic chance of being expected to get to a GF. 
 

My hat is off to Yze.

Carlton did everything they could to lose that one, the umps sure helped them out in the last, though the Tigers got the rub of the green early in the game.

Carlton’s defence looks very suspect, but god Curnow and McKay really show the value of having 2 quality KPF’s. We don’t even have 1.

Gee poor yze. Was I said last week welcome to coaching.

I just caught the last quarter. Bolton in the final seconds I thought was going to get through but he forgot to take the ball. 

And where was Dusty in the last 10 minutes? The Tiges had a fair share of it in their half forward but Dusty, no where to be seen when he would normally turn a tight game on its head.

My husband barracks for Carlton and over the decades of our marriage I have really tried hard to like them. 
Unfortunately, I have failed at this miserably.

Well done Ooze, that’s some ticker shown by the Tigers. 

If i was a tigers supporter i would be incredibly proud of the troops, down 3 rotations also off a 5 day break.

Did a Richmond player in the 3rd quarter miss from 2 metres out?

If it wasn’t 2 metres out it was all of 3 out but it was a shocker of a miss all the same. Would’ve given them a handy 13 point lead.

Surprised Carlton didn’t pile on the goals in the last quarter given the opposition were down 3 players.

Mansell, played on from a mark 2 metres out and missed.

Moronic bit of play.

You're kidding right.

You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

Give me a spell.

7 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

Key position forward (KPF) is, as i understand it, is the centre half forward and full forward, positions that are usually filled by talls.

But I agree on what I assume is your point- fritter, who is arguably our full forward and could be considered a KPF, is very much a quality forward.

So, far from not having any quality KPFs, we have two.

Only thing missing last night was Rey Mysterio giving Tom Lynch a 619. Season script has been written. Blues in the GF.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
