    All things considered a great win and very satisfying.  Removed a few doubts

    We pressured them all over the ground (all game) and we hunted the ball extremely well and had many numbers at the contest (all game) Played very well as a team

    That's our best win in an age

    They had Sideottom, De Goey & Elliott out and they really missed those 3 players.  We had Oliver out of course but Viney took up his role in magnificent fashion

    So what happens the next time we play them?  They'll be better so we need to be better ... especially with our disposal skills (mainly early in the game) and our kicking for goal

    But we are one-up on them with a lot on the line today in terms of if we'd lost, we'd be back in the pack.  In other words, if we're going to win big again we have to finish at least top 4

    Another big test at Catland next.  Bring the attitude, endeavour & effort that we displayed today to that game and we can win again.  10 days rest should see us cherry-ripe for that encounter

    In the meantime, we get the bragging rights over the Pies

    Enjoy!!!

     

    Don't forget Petty n Bowser. Bowser last few weeks were superb before concussion.

    Spoke to him today, cherry ripe to go after the bye!

    I reckon we should ask for a please explain from the AFL for Lever being paid a 50m against in the Anzac Eve game for carrying on behind the mark, and the Collingwood player at half time for Trac’s kick after the siren doing the exact same thing for no resultant 50. Really poor.

    I am not sure of the rule but if the protected zone is 5m behind man on the mark then it was the right call.

  3. Forever grateful I watched him play for a good 5 or 6 years nearly every game. Often got into the rooms after home games and sat next to him as a 10-11 year old in awe.

    He was poetry in motion. Did things nobody else could do and never will.

    Shed tears at his memorial at the G 

    RIP Robbie

    This could challenge last Fridays game. 

    Imagine If you were choosing a match for the time capsule between this and last Friday nights .....I think our game gets the nod. 

    I've not seen a worse quarter.... EVER!

    I used to sit behind the cheer squad when I was a teenager - might be time to wind back the clock!

    Same! They used to always hand out flags, we loved it!

    Still have a beautiful red n blue old Sherrin that Cameron Clayton drilled into my hands. I dropped the mark but was a very quick crumber. Got signatures all over it in the rooms afterwards that are now very faded but has 3 Brownlow medallists and the great Robbie Flower!

    By remaining civilised we deny the 23 wearing the red and blue an extra hand. Crowd noise must help a team with motivation and momentum (particularly in the final quarter) and possibly help with umpiring calls. I've been to many Collingwood games in the past 12 months and I'm very jealous of the influence they can have and the atmosphere they create. If we can be just 10 or 20% less civilised we would be helping the team out.

    I don't think that being reserved is at all a good supporter trait.

    Agree we are mostly quiet compared to other fan bases but can get very loud occasionally.

    I doubt many saw this but there was a time in the 2nd QTR after about our 4th horrible F50 entry in a row that went straight to a Carlton defender and the crowd were restless and negative.

    As Carlton ran the ball out, Trac turned to the crowd and yelled " show some [censored] support" during play. I heard it from the 2nd level. At the next stoppage he was revving the crowd up lifting his arms repeatedly.

    Our support and lack thereof is so important to our team. Some of the regulars around me are so damn negative and at times disgraceful with abuse hurled at our players it's embarrassing.

    We didn’t play terribly, we actually disposed terribly including kicking for goal.

    We actually now hold the league record of 40 for F50 interceptions.

    We had 20 more inside F50’s.

    We kept Blues to lowest score under Voss.

    If we kicked straight we win by over 10 goals.

    That is not terrible, but disposal was.

    It was a hard watch Red and poor disposal is poor football particularly when not under much pressure. Carltons 2nd half pressure rating was 160 which is extremely low.

    As good as that record highlighted is, we scored only once every 8 of those F50 intercepts. The league average is one every 3. Our forward entries are awful and have been for 18 months. We need to sort this quickly, it just won't win games against good teams.

    I'm happy with the win and there were some good signs of form from several players but I walked away from The G completely underwhelmed.

    I did enjoy that we looked to switch play several times last night, something I haven't seen most this season.

  8. Can't remember a more boring, mistake ridden game in a long time. Crowd was flat as a tack for 50k. 

    3 more Brownlow votes for Trac. Other than that great signs from Judd and JVR, Salem slowly returning to form.

    Take the win and forget this game ever happened.

    Smithy!!!!!!!

    Love it.

    Yeah I'm one of the few on here that think he has something to offer up forward IF he's body gives him a chance.

    He is not a Backman, is far too loose. He has pace and can jump I'm really hoping they can turn him into someone who can spoil the oppo rebounder. 

    Good luck Joel

    so they're being moved to the rookie list?

    From MFC website.....The pair, who will remain on the rookie list for the 2024 season, have impressed with their attitude and commitment during their first year in the red and blue.

    What's with the words putrid and disgraceful when referencing the team.

    It's as if you think they're coming up against the Manangatang 3rds... and not another professionally run football club, with similar resources and talent.

    I'm a bit [censored] ing over the negative [censored] ers on here...

    What am I missing here that these stats make no sense at all??

  12. Yesterday's loss was awful but these results have made it much easier to swallow, particularly Geelong losing to GWS at the cattery.

    Did anyone see Jeremy Camerons horrible flop for a free which resulted in a shot on goal which thankfully he missed!? He should cop a fine for staging.

  13. What happened to the corridor footy we saw pre season?? We rarely switch play, and barely even look to see if it's on.

    The only thing we have changed about our F50 entries is it is not deep pocket every time. We still bomb it and teams run it out with ease and very little pressure. 

    We are stale and have not fired a shot against decent opposition other than Gold Coast which is looking like a very good win up there.

    Our skills have deteriorated, a lot of sloppy, lazy football the past few weeks in particular.

    We are classic downhill skiers and have been that way for 18 months.
