At least both sides aren't wearing the same colour or anything.

I assume Carlton's grey 'clash' guernsey would have been even worse.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

He's actually from Oklahoma.

Sorry had to unlike this as he in fact is a Texan who ended up studying at Oklahoma State. I thought it was the other way around until I checked.

What parents would want their sons n dawtahs going to Carlton eh

 

[edgie]

So hang on...

The AFL introduce a 'light and dark' policy on uniforms, making it almost impossible for previously good looking teams like Geelong and North to match their light guernseys with dark shorts, except it is a pretty flexible policy if a couple of big Vic clubs are playing, or it's a final, or especially if it is big vic clubs playing in a final, or a couple of cellar dwellers in Tassie, and then on top of that, the home team changed it's good looking previous combination to adhere to this policy so they didn't have to wear white shorts at home, and now, two 'dark' teams are allowed to wear first choice uniforms playing each other, creating more of a clash, while others still have to wear white shorts for no good reason?

Is that about it, or am I missing something?

Not sure how Bolton can justify in keeping on playing Dow, he's so far off AFL standard atm it's not funny.

Are commentators only allowed to use Easton Wood's full name? I have never once heard him just referred to as "Wood".

One day, BT will surely come out with “Wood is as hard as nails”... but none of the other idiot commentators will notice it

LOL, I have no idea what your post really means but assume it is somehow related to my post regarding Mason Cox

Ben Brown Show

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

We were tired/not switched on. We came out and played the way we wanted to in Q3 when we had to. Just a matter of playing at the same intensity all the time.

Playing those mind games forever. Dixon, dropped a dozen marks, The Hoff and most of the rest weren't switched on for most of the game, Brisbane were and almost pinched it. Richmond were switched on, playing at home, and it would have been a tough week for Brisbane as they knew they blew a big chance to get their first win for the season. Unlike Ports, the Tigers didn't **** around at the crematorium when they controlled the ball.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian found both players sought the ball, with Murray then bracing for the inevitable contact. Therefore, no further action was taken.

Sound familiar lol

We should demand a refund, just for the fun of it!

Don't know why opposition clubs were seduced by the Hawthorn assistant coaches, and the guise that putting any of them in the coaches chair and handing them the team magnets was a guaranteed flag-in-the-bag.

The media beatup when Hawthorn were in the middle of their three-peat was downright pathetic, and the Bolton/Fagan varieties don't have the secret formula to change a bottom club overnight into powerhouse.

Its like 'oh, he's a midfield and backs coach for Hawthorn, give him a Godfather offer to coach a list of spuds and a flag is on its way'.

 

[mic59]

Carlton score a goal to get to 39 down close to half time. Ben Brown is on 14 goals, second in the Coleman to Buddy Franklin who has 17 after 4 rounds.

 

[edgie]

What does Jack Silvagni actually bring that scores of state level footballers couldn't?

Like, he isn't noticeably bad, but isn't noticeably good at anything either, and is fortunate enough to be left in the forward line all game so he can chalk up an unremarkable goal or two a game. Am I being harsh or is it a proper 'Dad's a coach' selection?

Carlton haven't played finals since 2013, and only played because the Bombers were kicked out of the finals as a penalty for the drugs saga. They're long way off from playing September footy again.

Two of his former assistants have premierships: Beveridge & Hardwick

Another one in Adam Simpson also got his team to a Grand Final in just his second year which they actually lost to Clarkson's Hawthorn.

And we could have had him, but drafted Mitch Harvey instead

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Do you really need to shake hands with a player in a half-time interview Lingy

 

[Power Girl]

I do wonder how the hell Liam Jones gets selected each week. He is comically bad.

Fagan wasn't even a coach was he? He was the football manager?

In a stunning turn of events, they've decided to play soccer at Blundstone Arena. After 15 minutes, it's a goal apiece.....

It would have been a maddening game of soccer!

I tipped Carlton.

lol

Its not so much that they haven't had good assistant coaches, but the guise that just because they were an assistant coach in a flag means they're a Clarkson in waiting is false advertising.

Mark Neeld got handed the keys to Melbourne because he was an assistant coach in the Collingwood 2010 flag.

Its an exponential series of right-time, right-place factors for a coach to come in and transform a club overnight.
