[010203]

Will the AFL finally learning putting Carlton anywhere near prime time is ****ing stupid?

Never!

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Loving seeing King Charlie smiling with the ex teammates.

 

[Dockernut]

Well, that turned out to be a very enjoyable game.

 

[Wojcinski]

 

[Joffaboy]

Oh well at least you pushed and shoved well Carlton

 

[Bremner20]

About time the AFL put rules around how big you can wear your shorts like the NBA did years ago , young Dean looks ridiculous like Arfa Dunga .

 

[voorhees]

Well, that turned out to be a very enjoyable game.

Is this bloke melting plastic?

 

[.Shotties.]

You shouldn’t do it against former teams in my eyes . Hate it

Sounds pretty woke.

 

[Zevon]

Wow that escalated while I was nodding off
So Zevon who called it in the first 10 minutes? Might need to make a backfire badge for MB threads

The Swans were the worst side in history in the first half according to BigFooty experts, although to be fair I’m pretty sure I was in full agreement at the time

 

[Erakor]

Ohhh dear me

[Wosh]

So you get the first MB backfire badge?

 

[Lunchtime]

A total of 16 goals in that 3rd Qtr - that doesn't happen often.

 

[Colonial]

Is this bloke melting plastic?

If he is holding it close he will have a headache soon. Breath those fumes.

Only 18 years?

Weak as piss.

 

[Zevon]

So you get the first MB backfire badge?

Will wear it proudly

 

[beert]

Were/are Fox claiming the third highest score in a quarter, or a third quarter?

Cos if it's in a quarter, their list missed out on Geelong's 14.3 (97) in the final quarter v Brisbane.

I don’t have Fox, but it was reported here as 3rd highest in any quarter by the Swans.

 

[bzparkes]

Was Voss the main reason Curnow left or somethibg else?

Bloke realised club is going nowhere. Can't blame him really.

 

[Toump Ass]

bags of cash

Those brown paper bags are the only thing that's kept Carlton relevant my entire lifetime.

 

[Not since 1910]

For anyone in need of some quality Blues fans melts

Sydney were one of the form teams of the comp late last year when they got some players back. They just had too many out for too long to make an impact on the season. Without any trades they were likely yo be a force this tear. Bringing in Curnow helpe, but isn't what turns them around.

edit: All that said, early rounds also can do weird things. Teams prepare differently and don't always hit their first game fully prepared, match fitness can take time. There might be a bit of that along with Sydney just being better.

They had a good run once they were all but done, which isn’t uncommon amongst middling teams with experienced players. I’m certainly not writing them off, but tonight they were ok. Carlton were very bad, no gear change.
