Let the blues win you cowards, I have mainboard material ready to go

 

[Darren Downunder]

Blues goal puts them in front.
Several missed kicks coming out of defensive 50
I think Kiddy is back in defence

 

[Darren Downunder]

Out of the centre, Ashcroft to Bailey for a goal.

 

[Elixuh]

Byrne/Burn! Good boy

 

[Tom14]

Defensive running, tackling and turnovers.

 

[martinson]

Blues mean business tonight . 11 points up.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

I've watched 2 mins and the CBF levels on the field are off the charts lol.

 

[Elixuh]

I forgot how boring these games are when you’re a good team

 

[Squizz89]

Did Kiddy do his hammy there or just cramp?

 

[Darren Downunder]

A chain of short kicks gets it out of our defence but McKenna botches the entry and Carlton races it forward for a goal. Blues lead by 8 points McLaughlin lining up for us.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Seen enough.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Reminds me of our preseason loss to Adelaide last year when they celebrated like they won a final

 

[martinson]

Blues have it Lazz. 13points up 90 seconds to go.

The shame of it all.

 

[SizeMatters]

Looks like kiddy blew his hammy. Shame.

 

[Elixuh]

they should give the blues 1 premiership point for this win.

Ty guys....

 

[Hollow Knight]

So the key learning from the quarter is that the second string VFL defence isn’t quite AFL standard yet?

Ah well, guess we’ll just have to persist with Andrews, Gardiner, Payne and Lester through the season instead.

sigh

**** this club.

To lose against a team that was the laughing stock of he AFL world because they couldn’t even string two accurate kicks together.

Just not good enough. Where was the heart!?! And to make matters worse looks like frog and kiddy got struck down with injuries.

Wish I could remember the username of the Adelaide poster who said after that game that we clearly had a premiership hangover and were a huge chance to miss the 8.

 

[Darren Downunder]

Carlton by 13 points.
We are trying but it’s just not coming together for us.

Surely cannot be serious.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I think the Blues have hit on the magic formula for beating us: Play us before round 1.

It’s called the Ainsworth Gambit.

 

[martinson]

Has Kiddy done his hammy ??

Geez. Someone has to babysit him in the off season.

Let's hope it's just a stinger. Still it puts him back again.
