#FreekickRichmond Here we go.

Man I love Richmond!

Provide the lols for 37 years, then prevent our arch-nemesis from winning a premiership, then convert back to a rabble.

Leigh fisher has ruined football this season already!

Richmond looking slow and Carlton looking like Gibbs is no more than a bad dream. Losing good players often seems to have a positive effect, the crows improved once Dangerfield left. The freel Garlett got to kick a goal was roundly booed but it was plainly too high.
Although now after the initial 10 minutes or so Richmond have woken up and have time to get close or lead by 1/4 time.

Richmond’s had their fairytale, the AFL are working on one of the Saints, Essendon, Blues or Melbourne as teams with a long time since their last flag. Oh the rub of the green they’re going to get this year.

 

[Engimal v3]

Is anyone else getting infomercials on Foxtel Go (channel 550) instead of the game?

Apparently everyone who's trying. What bullshit.

 

[Andre]

Though even with that Carlton can’t help being Carlton and likely to have blown a close to 5 goal lead by quarter time.

This is legit the biggest thing stopping us from winning the flag.

 

[LFC2010]

STFU ling you f head

 

[Boxx]

What happened to the away team wearing a predominantly light colour when the Home team is predominantly dark?

 

[elsler]

stfu about your amethyst id like to punch that campaigner fair in the head "this is on foxtel go im talking about"

And the AFL would be as bad if we faced GWS. Best chance of a fair run is Sydney, of any side that could make i (and we do).

You forgot the Victorian clause, where the rules don’t always apply

 

[raman]

Did someone put a brand new black towel in the wash with Carlton's shorts?

Even then, the AFL owe them a premiership after what they did to them in 2016.

Lol we're going to be up against it this year!

 

[Janus]

Carlton will run out of puff soon. Working much harder than Richmond for not much reward.

 

[Noobz0r]

Carlton over handballing through the midfield is killing them.

Why do people always put the Saints in this train of thought? The AFL are happy to keep shitting on them and Norf.

I predicted Carlton would improve this year!

Charlie Curnow and Patrick Cripps are great players, Paddy Dow will win Rising Star

 

[LFC2010]

What about having prior opp umpy you flog

 

[mic59]

Carlton certainly gave Richmond the jump and were then pulled back but showed a bit to retain the lead, although it had been cut to 9 points. The fact Richmond got within 5 points with about 7 minutes to go and had the momentum but then trailed by 9 points at 1/4 time looks good for Carlton. In the same game last year Carlton were 31 down at 1/2 time before losing by 43, if they're with Richmond at 1/2 time things could get interesting.
There was one of those overhead handball-type frees against the Tigers in the first quarter. Although this call was correct as the Richmond player lost control as he lifted the ball up and then punched it after it had left his hand.
At the moment Dustin Martin, Kade Simpson, Patrick Cripps and Marc Murphy have the most disposals.

Remember when pinging one arm and taking them to ground was considered the perfect textbook tackle.
