Are they going to remain silent when this happens in a PF or worse in a GF? It will happen sooner than later.

Carlscum with all the gifts from the umpires, they can hold their man, no HTB, throws galore 😡😡😡😡

Nah, Melbourne had 2018 before any success in finals. Carlton hasn't played in finals for 10 years, unless the AFL is working something up with the umpires? 🤔

Yes, they need to lose both games of course. Then 2 or 3 teams to win both remaining games.

They need to lose both games and Adelaide and GWS to win both games?

I have read lots of posts from Pies supporters on Twitter and they seem to be OK with dropping the minor premiership. They don't fancy playing us at the G' and rather would play Port at the G'. Colliwobbles 😁😁😁

Brayan Brook? It needs more Western Suburb representation

Just look at it from the perspective of other sports. Messi in soccer is probably the all time GOAT. However he, like Clarry, is not a natural when it comes to public speaking or advertising.

I was trying to find a correlation for the lack of success for teams placed 4th. I thought maybe playing as a truly away team had a big impact on their performances(i.e. Melbourne wouldn't truly be the away team playing against the Pies at the G'). However, as others have pointed out, it most likely is because 4th will lose against 1st in most instances, in which case they have to face 5th. 4th v 5th in a semifinal is as tight a match as you can have.

As it turns out only 9 of those 4th placed teams were interstate teams. Less than half, something like 45%

Yeah, it would be interesting to check how many of those 4th placed teams were interstate teams.

Unfortunately our fate is no longer in our hands. I think 2nd place is almost out of reach, 3rd place is the best we can achieve IMO. I hope I am wrong and Brisbane and Port lose one of their next 2, and we win both games.

Interesting post from AFL TW Would we prefer to finish 3rd even if it means facing the Lions at the Gabba? Worrying that the 4th placed teams on the ladder have never won a premiership.

"Dough" delivery 😏

Doesn't need to be managed or omitted, but perhaps reduced load during the game. Gawn plays 90%+ in most games, reduce it to 60-70 % in Rd 24.

If we beat Hawthorn (a must tbf) then we can just rest a lot of our players against the Swans. Just finish 4th to play at the G'.

How can Carlton afford both McKay and Curnow? Are they using Geelong's strategies? 😏

What's the height difference between them? I thought Jim Stynes was close to 200 cm...

Now Max just needs another baby boy to be a KPF, George will get the Ruckman gig.

He was listed 2-3 weeks, meaning it's doubtful he will make it to Rd 24. In any case, I prefer to rest him until finals come to get that foot ready.

Fritsch will be back for finals only, won't make it to anymore H&A games.

They left the door open through the middle, re Salem and Bowey chances in the last quarter. You'll have to kick back to the corridor and have the pace and dare to cut through their defence.

No way our window is shut. Our core still has 3 or 4 years in their prime, bar a couple of key players (May and Max). On top.of that we have a lot of young guns coming through. JVR, Bowey,Rivers, McVee, Sparrow, Kozzy. The club just needs to do smart trading and recruiting. We should be in contention for another 4 or 5 years.

Yep, those commentator calling an illegal tackle "courageous" more like dumb, Dangerous and of course ILLEGAL!!! 😡😡😡

Probably for just one ground.
