Can someone go and collect what the Cats fans are saying? 

Live for those threads after a win.

Call it K-rock of [censored] or something like that...

He got an elbow to the face from Hawkins at full force as Hawkins tried to get the ball away. Think it was just an accident, but given the injury you could argue it was reckless. He looked a mess.

Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence 

My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up 

Hourly forecasts have the rain clearing up (or at least the % chance of there being rain dropping significantly) by about midday. Still be windy though so I hope we learnt some lessons from the Cairns experience.

@picket fence

Was that you I saw in a chair on the opposite wing to grandstand scribbling away in a book/notepad?

It was my first thought when I saw the guy but didn't ask "are you picket fence" as figured that'd be a very weird question to receive if it wasnt you ?

Gut feel after watching him today is that he's not quite ready and could do with a few more VFL minutes before stepping up.

He certainly had no noticeable issues with his mobility, or jump, or second efforts. Just probably needs a bit more match fitness, imo

Massive mark from Daw in F50. Nails the goal. 16 up, 1.30 left

10 points up with 3.30 left

Laurie and Bowie have done a few very nice things in the last few minutes.

Bedford has been in amongst everything too 

If not already said, there is a fairy stong and gusty wind favouring Williamstown this quarter. Picked up a lot since 1/4 time

Made a last minute decision to head along today and got here just as the match started. Two big things already stand out so far.

1. Shattered no bar or bacon and egg rolls for the practice match!

2. Ben Brown must play next week. Get him in!

1. They have both in the area marked "Bar", "Canteen" & "Coffee" at car park end  ?

2. Agreed!

BBB goal...

Edit - apologies for quality. Phone camera 

So, surely a packed house on Sunday?

That was the worst umpiring I can recall. And that's saying something 

If it hasn't already been said, those were the same three umpires that did the Brisbane v Geelong game last week.

It's getting better, would really love to see Brown getting closer to footy action. Clearly the round 3-4 estimates were very optimistic for both him and Weid.

Just said on the news that he'll be back in full training from tomorrow and hopes to get some VFL minutes if not this weekend then next. 

Harsh on Jordan.

Can someone remind me the player who started the whole 426 thing?

I know we had a guy that had return from injury as "4 to 6 weeks" almost permanently, but can't remember who it was.

Fair weather supporters can [censored] right off imo.

You either support the club or you don't.  

If there was ever a time for people to be champing at the bit to get to a game - having not been able to attend for so long - that was it.

All tickets to the game were $50+ unless you were a member, where for a lengthy period of time it said they were unavailable. For a game already with relatively low demand, nothing was done to atttact people to attend. If this had been done right I reckon we may have gotten 30k. Ticketing has been terribly mismanaged. I thought the goal was to attract people back to live sport these days. 

No they weren't.

"General Reserved" tickets were $27

Grow up. No one is complaining about the scoreline but there wasn't much improvement from 2020

Colour me shocked that you completely missed the point...

Petracca looked a bit uncomfortable in last couple of minutes. Reaching for left knee and had a half hobble/limp. Hopefully ok

I give it until quarter time of Round 1 for Carlton supporters to be calling for his blood.

I give it till the end of this game before half of the anti-Oscar brigade start saying we should have kept him and lamenting the club for another bad decision...

Congratulations to J Jordon. But seriously.. Yuk!!! I’d love to be proven wrong.. But I just don’t think he offers anything. 

Thats the spirit...  ?

I got $54 so I gave up

As mentioned earlier, you need to select seating location that applicable to whatever membership you have.  

It you have general admission, then select "General Reserved" ticket and it'll be $0.00  (plus $3.15 service fee... ?)

anyone know what the rules are re bags for Sat's game and if they have an official link. I'm hearing rumours of a bag ban. Don't want to turn up with grandkids and their back packs and not get entry. 

It said this in the "Important Event Information" section on ticketek page.

So backpacks ok?
