Right: Unless it's a bad one against Carlton, I don't wanna hear constant whinging about umpiring from you lot!

Haha - I don’t think we played in that one - otherwise the jumper on stage would be of the Navy variety.

Pretty sure last year you had this amazing rebound game - how did that play out the last time we played head to head?

 

[No SPIN]

Yeah but…you do remember what happened last year right?

See my post above for details.

Are Collingwood treating this week's game as a bye , managing a few of their star players ? Asking for a friend

Dead rubber.

You need to watch a bit of Martin mate you got no idea about him.

My memory of him costing you a game against PA with lack of effort in a chase, resulting in the winning goal has stayed with me.

 

[No SPIN]

You were making a different point to my point.

Not really - you were implying that only Coll supporters valued a role player like Frampton on GF day.

Did i say that? If i didn't this conversation is done.

Did Frampton do a valuable job on GF - in your view as a Carlton supporter?

From someone who had no idea what his role was i would say he was pretty ordinary.

Which is was exactly my point- you and other non Coll supporters completely devalue his impact.
But as I said - Fagan feels very differently.

I suggest you listen to a podcast of Hoyne on SEN last night.
He said Geel are ranked 1 on Champion Data for scoring from turnover which was the reason they beat Carl - on the same stat Coll is ranked 3.
Coll is ranked 6 for defending turnover Carl ranked 13.
Geel lost clearances but stopped Carl from getting pure clearances, on most occasion thereby nullifying the advantage.

I recognised that in my post. I recognised that Collingwood will punish Carlton from turnovers.

Even Essendon last week destroyed Collingwood in the midfield and Collingwood still drew purely based on their ability to score readily from turnovers.

The reason why I think Carlton should win is actually because of the Geelong game. Carlton should have won that game but kicked themselves out of it due to their inaccuracy. If Carlton were more accurate, then the ball goes back into the centre where Carlton destroyed Geelong all day. But because Carlton were wasteful inside 50, Geelong took the ball coast to coast and scored with a ridiculous efficiency. They lost to Adelaide exactly the same way.

Whilst Carlton may be wasteful forward of centre again, I don't anticipate it happening. Even moderate efficiency should see Carlton win IMO. I also don't anticipate for Collingwood to be as efficient as Geelong and Adelaide inside 50. That's why Carlton are favourites to win and I believe they will. Whether they actually win is another story.

Is Fly going to unleash the seagull in the guts on account of Titch and De Goey out?

Don't be a sook, i think you devalued Martins impact but it's bigfooty and we are all armchair critics.

 

[JustaBattler]

Goodness gracious me- come in for a bit of catch up after and al read is 50 pages on teh merits of Frampton....

all quiet on teh Western Front it seems.

 

[Thrawn]

If they lose, I assume Carlton will trot out the "missing half our side" excuse (as if they're the only team with injuries). In reality, they're missing or may be missing Cerra, McGovern and Saad as walkups from their best 22 of 2024; the rest are of marginal influence or relevance and half are VFL scrubbers.

Like just about everyone else in the competition.

Not many teams are missing their first choice HB line and Martin was immense during our run last year.

Hopefully.

Just as non Carlton folk do re: Fogarty and Martin.

Nothing unexpected really, pretty much business as usual for role players at clubs people don't support/watch closely.

 

[Mr Meow]

Hang on hang on now that’s unjustified and I will not have this slander of our good name and our supporter base….



I paid $1.50 for that block of land you heathen

Jokes on him, he hasn't seen the world class Corio Philharmonica.

Fagan’s validation of Frampton’s performance makes the other opinions completely hollow.
That’s been my point - now repeated a 3rd time.

Thank heck Collingwood is the away team and will wear their clash jumper meaning all dark v all light.
Sure as heck wouldn’t happen if Carlton was the away team.
Visually it will be bliss - unlike in Round 21 later this season.

We’ve been doing it this way for nearly 200 years and won’t be changing it for you Johnny Come Lately’s

The game always rests on taking opportunities- Coll were wasteful against GWS. We kicked poorly and had more inside 50’s. Using your logic we should have won but didn’t- that’s life.

But a fundamental flaw of lacking the ability to defend turnover with a Ranking of 13 this season is endemic and is a huge issue for Voss.

 

[Arr0w]

Chuck a tanty?
Again, did you see your supporters carry on last year round 13. Wouldn't that be classified as a tanty?

Never seen anyone so invested in an opposition team

Not sure what last year has to do with this Friday night

Find it funny that the moment Fadge disappears, this guy suddenly appears out of no where and posts crap about us. Prior to that, never even heard of 'em.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can’t believe it’s come to wanting Collingwood to win

Hopefully it’s a draw

 

[supahoops]

Claims like mine?
You and your supporter base have just spent the past week telling me you should have won the game had you kicked straight or had fit players to choose from.

And they post how the Lions kicked 5.11 for remainder of the match but fail to mention it getting them across the line..
