The heart beats true

This is quite extraordinary from Port.

‘I thought we were off at the start’

I just assumed that’s behind the goals where ports cheer squad are? I’ll keep an eye out.

Good to see so many Geelong supporters who love their team, but couldn’t possibly bring themselves to drive 45 minutes to see them last Saturday night.

I think Kemp needs to explain why he put his head down twice in the tackling motion. None of the momentum of the tackle suggests any motion to drop his head forward, let alone twice. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/fine-the-fakes-calls-for-punishment-as-debate-erupts-over-dubious-free-kick-awarded-to-blues-defender/news-story/8c674cf8e2679ec5f36d20ceed985a21 The AFL needs to stop this, for their own financial benefit. Someone will break their neck trying to win a free. That’s why people hate that rule. Players have adjusted, and are now making the situation much more dangerous.

I used to live quite close to a Collingwood player. After a loss watching my dog take an early morning [censored] on his nature strip was particularly cathartic.

Thinking back on that game it seemed very even, with the only really discernible difference in the sides being Carlton’s extraordinary accuracy around goal - especially early. If you take a look at the stats they are frighteningly close. The reality is we are very evenly matched with them currently. I’m not sure either team is in top form. I’d have both sides in the 4-6 bracket on the ladder - which is exactly where they are. It’ll be the team that can find, and maintain, another gear later in the year that will make it to the GF.

Expected Scores: #AFLBluesDees Final xScores: CARL 75 from expected 51.1 (+2 rushed) MELB 73 from expected 72.4 (+3 rushed) Those first 5 goals being all goals is the only reason they won. Honestly I’m fed up with finding ways to not beat Carlton.

Clarrie is coming from a mile back, and we have no Gus. Sparrow hasn’t taken the step the club needs him too, and we are still fiddling with the balance of outside kickers and grunt. Our midfield got absolutely spanked early, and have honestly had a pretty middling year.

21 scoring shots to 11 after one minute into the 2nd quarter. That’s so disappointing to not be able to have someone stand up early. We miss Gus. I know it sucks but we are clearly down a quality midfield rotation.

Carlton are ordinary. We just needed someone to stop the rot in the first quarter, and sadly no one did.

AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring. unbelievable.

Pathetic start that cost us

That is the worst free kick I of the year

12 - 1 free kicks this half!

One less scoring shot

Game over

Sweet! Pay them off and get the job done!

Whose down?

Billing’s isn’t up to it.

The deliberate rule is a joke

Yeah they are awful.

Show that to had replay again!!!!!!! what a [censored] joke

They can’t do anything wrong.

We are so clearly down an experienced midfield rotation, especially with Oliver’s prep. Gus was a huge loss.
