I heard a snippet of the Swans vs Hawks game on the radio and after a Swans goal, the commentator said "...another slick goal for the Swans" and I realised that "slick" was exactly what Geelong's goals were, and exactly what ours aren't. We are a brute force, Plan A side. We're trying to add a...

Such a shame our total ruck dominance was wasted. Everything I thought about the game has already been said, so I will simply compare and contrast the two teams. Geelong: Efficient. Carlton: Inefficient. Geelong: Accurate. Carlton: Inaccurate. Geelong: Composed. Carlton: Not composed...

Disgraceful umpiring, but we are not clinical enough in front of goal. Until we clean that up we aren't winning a flag.

Williams slung around the neck, off the ball play on.

Kolo whatever drops it. Then Guthrie gets one for not getting touched high. What the actual fk is happening?

Hawkins, drops it cold. Play the fk on.

One of the worst calls I have ever seen. Can't see the ball, didn't see the mark. Sniff test? Utter fail.

15 out of 44 injured = 1/3 of the list. 12 out of 23 = 1/2 of our best 22. We've been beaten around the head with the injury stick this entire century, but that's the worst I've seen.

I wrote a long, embittered post about the salary cap debacle, but deleted it in a moment of self-reflection. Sufficient to say that the lack of transparency in the application of the rules, and the squalid agendas of the main protagonists, annoys me to this day.

So we'd just gone about 4 goals down in the 3rd, and my mate looked across the aisle to see some supporters munching on something, and he turned and asked me what they were eating. I glanced and saw they were hoeing into some souvlakis. My mate asks "where do you get those, and I told him...

Matty Hogg?

Carlton....

Not going to comment on either * or Adelaide, but there's no denying that we afforded their forwards, a ton of space. I was there, and it was as clear as day some of them were playing off their man all day. Whether that was by instruction or wantonness, I don't know.

I am still pi55ed off about the club being accused of tanking. Suddenly, we could apparently choose when and where to lose, completely oblivious of how utterly crap we actually were. We had the mammoth injury lists we constantly sustained, the back-room infighting, financial burdens and a...

No statue outside the 'G of Jesaulenko's iconic mark in the 1970 grand final, but there's one built for the guy who constantly dropped the ball to cheat for free kicks.

TDK2CHB.

You're correct, but that doesn't mean we should cease playing him. Long term, the overall benefit should outweigh a bit of short term pain.

Tex was straighter. /EOT

What people say about Pittonet is mostly correct, but I posit he brings a central solidity to Carlton we slightly lack with TDK. I want them to build on that, give the big man a solid run at it to bring him back into form. Long year, so we need to build strength in the team and I am certain...

Needs 3 kilo more muscle, but you can't doubt the heart and effort.

Not sure who said it earlier, but we needed big Pitt in the ruck, those last 5 minutes.

Charlie. Kicked some, got his hands to heaps, and missed the few Walker nailed.

Owies....Too soon?

While we're on that sh1t club, always pi55ed me off how Dusty fended high and was never called for it.

Next one that makes me cranky is from over freaking 40 years ago. Actually, I am not sure cranky is sufficient. Pure fury is closer. Any time I see Neil Balme, or hear his name, the reddest of red mists clouds my eyes and brain. Those evil king hits on Southby, McKay and Keogh were some of...

Don't recall the Manton one, but was watching the Peter Dean moment, and he almost came a cropper before the medal went around his neck. And then on the way back to his team mates, he bloody hurdles a tape someone strung a half metre high across the turf. Hilarious!

I must say, taking 8th spot from 9th, due to * being ditched, then beating Ninthmond in a final cheers me up no end, every time I think of it.

Two games vs Hawks: 1. It's been a battle all day at the 'G, but with a minute or two left on the clock, we have our noses in front by less than a goal. The ball is exiting our defensive 50 with Dean Rice taking a slow jog along the boundary line. He had free players, he had time, he could have...
