Clintosaurus

Seeing quite a few tackles where the ball is knocked out but no free. Do only Collingwood get these? Saints having a crack but lacking class.

The arrogance of Carlton and Collingwood fans when they are having good seasons is unbelievable. They also think they should get a free in every contest. No doubt this helped them get the dodgy ones last Friday. BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Goldstein is 34. So perfect for Geelong.

His salary won't change though. Pies will be paying the difference.

Pies fans on SEN wanting a top 10 pick. Pfffft - it's a salary dump and will be a swap of later picks.

It's the right decision

@binmanwe are now $4 to win the flag. Time to load up?

I wonder if we should be more 1 on 1 in the forward half as opposed to giving effectively up to the wing away in order to set up behind the ball. Teams moving the ball fast don't allow this to happen as often so slowing them up in F50 would help immensely.

Not sure how many we laid, but at least 4 should have been rewarded. But you know, umpires.

We need more from the second tier players and consistency from the umpires. Neither are happening at the moment.

Umpires would be aware of the media narrative and between that and not wanting to be booed, have at least an unconscious bias that impacts their decision making. Sometimes it has no impact on the result, others it is significant. Friday night was an example of the latter.

We got stooged out of 2nd spot because of multiple umpiring errors.

The last quarter had NFL pre season game intensity.

No weeks for Cripps = fix is in

Carlton are a media hype team this year so everything is OK.

We'll get it back next week

With the narrative the media have it is no surprise. It's more entertainment than sport these days. They don't want us winning 2 straight and there's not many Dees supporters in the media.

For all the Collingwood [censored], they will most likely be 5th after Round 22. They would finish 4th if they beat Carlton in Round 23. This is based on us beating #freekickcarlton next week and Brisbane over the Saints. That said, we play #2 on the free kick differential, and our last 2 losses were against #1 and #3. Expect similar treatment from the maggots.

If Maxy and Clarry were paid frees every time they were infringed, our differential would be better than the Dogs. Not happening. Umps seem to have a mindset to only pay us obvious frees, where there is no room for interpretation. Must think we don't need them.

They are also uber sensitive about anyone saying they won't win the flag. So insecure.

We do play #freekickcarlton next week. Expect Curnow and McKay to get a few soft ones paid.

Cats getting 8 metre kicks paid as marks as usual at Taxpayers Stadium.

Tim English takes on 3, has it knocked out in the tackle, ump says play on as knocked out in tackle. Has the rule changed since last night?

Think the club see September 24 as it.

We are everyone's Grand Final this year. Something that amuses me immensely at the moment is how sensitive Pies fans are when someone says they won't win the flag.
