Game Day 2022 R1 vs Carlton, MCG, 7.25pm

[richard parker]

At least we already got used to this last year. Not too much mental adjustment necessary.

 

[Lsta062]

Free kick Carlton. Joke of a sport

 

[sante]

Cerra the new Selwood. Drops his knees everytime he’s tackled

 

[Wallaby]

And our first free kick for the quarter comes with 2 mins to go - to Aarts.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

We have not lost this game because of the umpires that is 100% certain.

We have been absolutely slaughtered in the midfield and we’ve literally had no answers to change momentum.

We only scored due to Carlton’s lack of execution mostly early.

If we don’t find ways to score through midfield stoppages and also stop mids getting on top of us we will be bottom 8 comfortably.

Well said

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Gifted a game to gibcus...repeat of Samson..

 

[peternorth]

How many 50 m penalties have we conceded tonight?

9?

 

[k31th]

9-0

we got 1 near their goalsquare a moment ago haha

 

[tigers12]

Well I’m done for the year I will not watch another afl game while this game is ruined by rules and free kicks why don’t the players have the balls and strike over this contrived s**t

 

[_RT_]

Don't blame the umpires, we've played like crap outside the first quarter. Our midfielders were undisciplined and not willing to do the little things that the Carlton midfielders did do. Some older guys definitely spent some credits they've got in the bank

 

[Grockadoc]

Unrealistic attempt? He was getting blocked...

 

[joelsyt]

Will be interesting to see how we come out next week after this. GWS will probably beat us, but if we can at least be more disciplined next week it’ll be a step in the right direction.

 

[GastevsBeard]

Honest question

If Martin plays forward
Cotchin is on the precipice of retirement
Prestia is injured

Do we have one AFL standard midfielder?

 

[Rubber Hips]

Who gets their Norm Smith?

One of the umpires

 

[59Stanley]

This is embarrassing

 

[DustinsGuns]

We have no midfield. None.

 

[k31th]

We have not had in forward of center all quater

except that goal we kicked

 

[Greggy]

No 50’s stats on AFL app?

 

[bc27]

40-21 clearances Carlton’s way.
64-40 inside 50’s Carlton’s way.

I don’t care who you are… you’re not going to win any games of football with these numbers. That is a flogging.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

9 years of round 1 wins and 3 flags..... I can cop this looking at what we've done. On to gws

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Arts...gifted a game...

 

[Neen]

why the fu** are they boo'ing Dusty? what's he done?

Because he has won 3 Norm Smiths in the same period that they won 3 games.... This is the scums premiership.

 

[juss]

We're going nowhere with this midfield in 2022. Reality hits.

 

[sante]

A lot 2021 feel to it imo. Our midfield can’t compete for 4 quarters

 

[NaturalDisaster]

9 years of round 1 wins and 3 flags..... I can cop this looking at what we've done. On to gws

yeah, they were due

not even a win before R3 in a decade.
