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

why did the ump call back the play there when the tiges had a good advantage

I think you answered your own question.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agreed, gutsy.

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.

I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

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

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

7 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
