Our defence did well last week judging by how much Syd defence is struggling tonight

 

[year of the cat]

Maybe that win last week wasn’t too bad after all?

We still have issues but in hindsight with the Dewy conditions and poor Ruck we didn’t do too bad

It wasn’t a pretty game but Carlton just have a way of making teams play badly. Couple that with Geelongs defense and the dewy night and it was always going to be a slog

 

[Partridge]

Gee the green indigenous umpire shirt is ******* putrid

Credit where it’s due. Both teams and the umpires are having a fierce battle as to who has the most appalling attire. Very little between them too.

Isn't it the old idea that regardless of the sport, that a match between a struggler vs a higher placed contender can result in a scrappy match, because the struggling team can pull their opponent down to their level.

I think Sydney just don't play well at the SCG

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Like the Blues, Crows and Eagles. Don’t like the Pies (too similar), Dons or Suns.

Yep that Carlton top is tripe.

Fight MBD Big Freeze 4 has launched with beanies now available to buy through https://fightmnd.org.au/

The Herald Sun has also broken the news on who will be going down the slide into the ice water this year - probably to the annoyance of Fox Footy who I think were hoping to present themselves as having the exclusive info:

COACHES from every AFL team will take the plunge for Fight MND’s Big Freeze 4 in an extraordinary show of support for one of footy’s most inspiring personalities.
All 18 coaches will set aside rivalries in an extraordinary nod to footy legend Neale Daniher and hundreds of others battling motor neurone disease.
Collingwood’s Nathan Buckley and Melbourne’s Simon Goodwin will be among the first to slide into a pool of ice at the MCG ahead of the Queen’s Birthday clash between the two teams on June 11...

...The result has seen $23.3 million invested in research and care, $6.68 million for four new clinical trials, another $6.89 million in drug development and research grants, $2.47 million invested in much-needed care equipment, and $4.5 million for a world-first drug screening project.

You can get one though thier site quick postage too.

 

[Frappe]

Is it just me or the Swans a lot more niggly than they used to be? Have definitely targeted Cripps with little whacks and elbows as they have gone past him.

We generally don't do it - or if we do we're shite at it.

Tbf Cripps has been a little arogrant shit the last two weeks that I’ve watched him, he’s been trying to rile up his oppents and getting under their skins.

Appears to be working too

 

[rocker_oz33]

Cripps is pretty banged up from playing the lone midfield role hes knee and upper leg heavily strapped.
I thought last week had alot of niggle in it stewart looks unhappy at times.
Cripps gave away 7 frres last week and was pretty lippy too.

Injury prone, past his best, inside mid?
Sounds about right.

I haven't paid enough attention to notice Cripps but fair enough.

 

[frggr]

Imagine letting Carlton kick more than 5 goals [emoji23]

 

[Strange Cat]

Oh yah we get to play the swans at the SCG in 5 weeks...gee they’ll go down well

 

[rocker_oz33]

Nice staging McVeigh.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Why do Carlton play Friday night?
The ol shit before the shove get the shit out of way early umm.
