This will be a percentage boost for WC despite the result

Sydney- a massive percentage boost lost. We somehow stay above them on the ladder which is a little bonus.

Carlton shooting for their first ever Adelaide Oval win. Meanwhile we’ve just cracked 12 wins.

Collingwood supporters and the media claiming they have the best NON SA team record, but I reckon 12 wins is better than 8.

The thing is, Carlton is 0-7. 

They’ve only played there 7 times. Ever. 

We’ve played there 19 times. Almost three times as much. 

How the [censored] does that happen?

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

A win by Flagmantle would brighten up a an otherwise dull Saturday arvo.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,955]

How bad does that black & purple guernsey look.

West Coast's experienced players let them down ... Kelly, Darling, Duggan.  Not 'our' Jayden though, he was OK.

its shocking, when I first switched it on I thought they were the blues.

A perfect use of clash jumpers

Why are Fremantle wearing that Jumper?

That’s because you can do simple maths. You are overestimating Pies fans here. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,772]

Oh Harry

[BDA 23,048]

Daniher like from McKay

[DubDee 26,674]

I reckon Freo will get up. in good form abs defence solid

[ANG13 2,110]

This is a strange game so far. 

[The heart beats true 18,201]

Luke Jackson is such a unique footballer.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,955]

I haven't done the maths but I'm guessing that a high scoring close game would see us stay top on %, at least until tonight.

So we’ve played more in SA and in Geelong. Exactly where does Carlton play it’s away games… asking for a mate. 

[daisycutter 30,021]

curnow  1 mark 1 handball ... that's it

[Billy 2,575]

Carlton are playing like millionaires 

[DeeZee 7,496]

I really don’t rate Carlton.

Hold McKay and Curnow and they don’t have much.

Cripps gets a bit of it but his disposal is ordinary 

[Fork 'em 7,052]

It's a tough watch.
Abit like watching us without Gawn, Petracca and Oliver.

I must be on my own on this forum as there’s plenty of other posters who don’t rate Carlton.

I seriously rate Carlton and have them in the current top 3 seedings.

They have every position covered with star material all over the place. It starts with their “Steve May” (Weitering) down back and ends with the two best key fwds in the league.

Unfortunately they also showed that they could handle the big MCG finals moments which will hold them in good stead in September.

(Hope I’m wrong and they cop a loss today)

Freo are about 13% higher than us right now.

I suspect they stay ahead of us if they get the “W” in a low scoring affair.

Pretty good effort on their behalf.

Plus the AFL are desperate for them to win the flag. 
They are in prime position to win it. They still have Walsh to come back too. 
Definitely a big factor in the flag race for mine too.

Yep. Good call about Walsh. Absolute gun.

He got them over the line against us last year.

[Chook 15,069]

That throw was disgustingly obvious from Cripps. Give them the flag now if that's what the umps are going to allow this year from Carlton.
