Man the crows just got robbed HARD. That was 100% a goal!!!!

Hang on a second, that ball went over the padding???

Bloody hell what a finish

Nepotism. The bloke adds nothing.

Yeah I feel the same, stuck with Saint/Geelong. Would love nothing more for the cats to miss finals this year.

Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

20 goals in 2 minutes. Not impossible.

Ah yes, Futebahren. Created by the great Swedish explorer Bjorn Hoffjarnsen in 1754 whilst exploring the Carribean if I'm not mistaken.

Kingy - ' there's nothing left in the legs and maybe nothing left in the head either' What's going on with the Dons?

Was at the Carlton game where Kozzie pipped em last year and by all accounts from demonland, last week was the same... a lot of aggression in the air from their F/wit fan base. Giving lip to families that have little kids is scumbag behaviour and that club seems to attract a lot of scumbags.

Remind me to not go on here next week when the 'IS RESTING PLAYERS RISKING FORM?' debate starts. I already avoid any posts that mention 'loading' on either side of that debate, haha Collingwood are going down like flies so I think I need to accept that Brisbane are going to win. Murphy looks like he's out so Collingwood losing to the DONS looks like a real possibility.

Brisbane to lose 10000000% We want a home final and if Brisbane win tonight, then a very likely outcome would be for us to go up to Brisbane first final. I think us finishing 3rd is most likely. If we have to play humid/slippery footy up there then we would be at a huge disadvantage.

The momentum in this game is pinging back and forth so quickly.

Yeah fair point. Wonder how many times a ruckman has a been a sub.

Why is Cox the sub?

I personally think Max needs to have like… 22 giant babies. Also congrats to Maxy and Nibbler!

Oh if I was Felicia, I'd be furious.

Just an absurd athlete. Remember watching him live against us and at a neutral game in the same season when he was in his prime and my god, unbelievably agile and back then he looked like he could go from standing to full sprint in a matter of 3-4 steps. All whilst being about 110kg.

If we play Carlton in finals and they have the same tactic of keeping Weitering/ spare a ruckman behind the ball (that locks it in their half) how do you guys think the Dees can overcome this? Seemed like the blues were forcing our long kicks by pressuring the ball handler and being ready to intercept handballs/immediately pressure handball recipients, so what other means do we have tactically?

Genuine question: is their something rude or offensive about that meme? I’m confused

After watching most of the other games on the weekend, I am confident none of the other teams would’ve been able to have withstood how good Carlton was playing let alone only JUST lose. That’s the best I’ve seen Carlton play for decades. The score was even at 3/4 time even though their pressure rating was red lining the entire time and the ball had basically lived in their forward 50 for 1 1/2 quarters. Any other team would’ve been down by 3-4 goals AT LEAST. They threw the kitchen sink at us and we withstood it. If anything, the way Carlton set up behind the ball thus locking it in their F50 has given us a look out how they will play us if we meet in finals. To which, I’m pretty confident our coaching staff won’t allow the same thing to happen again. Our form is great, Carlton are in a purple patch for now… We’ll see what happens in finals I guess.

I saw a segment on this a few years ago (can't remember which club it was) but players wore headphones that had recordings of a few grand final crowds on an extended loop.

Marchbank said in an interview after the game that is touched his fingers which when you see the side on vision of the ARC, the ball misses his hand completely. So yeah, we were robbed.

Ball wasn't touched by the Carlton defenders hands, that's for sure. Kicking was woeful at times tonight and Carlton looked like they were playing in difference conditions to us, by how good their field kicking was. Easy to say our kicking was affected by the conditions but it didn't look like Carlton was that affected by the conditions, so why were we? Smith over Hibbo in the backline seemed a mistake. Hibbo should've played the whole game and Smith in the forward line. JJ needs a rest. Salem can't make a 45 meter kick? Seriously?
