what has happened to Lobbe?

 

[tangolikelama]

I'd sack Bolton tonight.

Carlton clearly don't have our allergy to ruckmen. They played Phillips against us and he was serviceable. He's nowhere to be seen either.

 

[Grave Danger]

Sometime in the second quarter BT was claiming it was over 30,000.

Actually they did just say 33,000 on ABC radio, but I'm sure they said 23k a little while ago. 33k is probably "as well as can be expected".


EDIT:
Official crowd: 33,780 at Etihad Stadium

Bolton is a turd on a string

 

[edgie]

Is that... Are they... That's not 'You're the Best' is it?

From Karate Kid?

When Billings comes alive and racks up 5 touches in the last 90 seconds (12 in the last quarter, 1 in the last 5 seconds) to give you the George Bush Jr.

That's a lot of masochists, insomniacs and homeless.

What's next, Hearts on Fire from Rocky IV?

(actually we should totally play this)

Fight to Survive? The Touch? Highway to the Danger Zone?

Haha I picked him up a few weeks back in DT for a real cheap sub 500k. I was dying as he was on 7 at quarter time, was not much better halfway through the second. He's a unique of mine too.

Then he goes bang and finishes on 120. Yee of little faith.

How didn’t we punish this team?

With percentage being so important we really need to start putting this shit teams away. Don’t want to be 3rd or 5th on a slightly less percentage and look back and realise these smaller wins to rubbish teams were the reason why.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

The sadist in me wants Carlton to finish up with just the 1 win for the season, but they’ll beat Gold Coast.

All investment bias aside, how infuriating is it when he's involved and literally at the heart of everything good, and then he's clearly given the order to ballwatch in a forward pocket for 10 minutes at a time.

It's like, Alan. Mate.

BT was suggesting 45K for St Kilda v Richmond. He was getting a bit over-excited and was starting to believe that the margin was due to the Saints being good rather than Carlton being a huge pile of dog poo. It's true they have had a few crowds over 45000 at Docklands but their performances in those years were better than this one. In one of them they made finals and in two of them they were challenging strongly for finals.

Jenkins was actually pretty decent in his reasons for not giving Cripps votes

This is actually pretty close. I'd already screenshotted for the "how's this, cheers Richo" bad beat haha

 

[mic59]

Top three fantasy point scorers for Adelaide were all named Rory. Top three for St Kilda were all named Jack. No other teams this round have three players with the same name.
