Carlton miss a point. Lons straight down and goal. That says it all. Cripps must be one of the most over rated players out there tonight.

If they gave a point for every throw he's the man

Anyone dreading next week when Carlton break their losing run?

Yeah probably

Two Main Teams the maggots idolise but have given up on favouring. They have now put away the whistle officially on Carlton and Essendon unless we are playing them.

Doubt it. He’s been a bit better over the last year – since they played him back for a few games last year.

Thought I heard a dodgy comment last night about him having an Eric–tion during a purple patch in the second quarter. Not sure how that went to air, if in fact I heard it correctly.

The Age has just published an article about the reported death threat on Michael Voss that got the Collingwood supporter a five year ban.

The text was:

“I’d like to report 23 missing persons and pre-emptively report the murder of Michael Voss.”

The article goes on to suggest that perhaps the AFL have over reacted.

Sending a "bogus" message to a "report abuse" line is perhaps worthy of censure but a five year ban?

Now it made sense. The Collingwood supporter was not a would-be criminal but a would-be comedian. It was not a death threat, but a nasty little attempted gag about Carlton’s 23 “missing” players and Voss’s presumably imminent sacking. So the question has to be asked: is a failed joke a reason to ban someone from attending a venue for five years?

The AFL’s statement said that abuse is abuse “regardless of the intent”. The same applies to the message against abuse. Good intent is not sufficient. Spray it around too loosely or patronise the public with “learning moments”, and the message is wasted. There’s only one [censored] who benefits from that

Old Dee, I've thought for quite a while, he's overrated full stop. Gets a fair bit of the ball but there's a lot of nothing disposals. Then we're told he's playing a sensational game.

I tipped them trying to make up some ground and bloody hell everyone above me did to. Should be a cracking game, GC have a crazy amount of talent on their list.

Can’t have a contest or similar without the umpire blowing his stupid whistle.

Amazing what you can do when tackles stick.

GC waisting some opportunities.

Hardwick has the GC boys seriously wound up. Let’s see if they can keep the pies scoreless until half time.

This is enjoyable. Don’t stop GC.

suns well on top

suns applying serious heat. pies can't handle it

Well this is so much fun

Well played by McCrae for using his annual ‘sickness through the club’ card for this game.
