Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 4 vs. Carlton. Thur 03/04 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

[Go Woods]

Here comes the rain, need to pull the trigger, get Long on maybe Membrey gets subbed off.
Only 4 points, but feels like a lot more.

 

[Kes1984]

Bad record might factor.

At the tribunal if it went there. MRO formula would just be 2

 

[IlovethePies]

Will be 2....He won't get 3 as there's no concussion

Just saw the replay.
Had no regard for the safety of the opponent unfortunately.
Thankfully no concussion.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

So channel 7 (C Cornes) and Fox (all of them) going hard ( ) for Carlton.

Korne had an erection over the Houston bump.
Asking for the guillotine

 

[Axl the great]

A lot of players with really ordinary stats at half time.
We have probably half the side that we know will lift.
This would be a seriously disappointing one to lose.

 

[northcotehead]

Where's the Shoota tackling frenzy i expected

 

[Chronz]

Fox commentaters trying to give Hoiston 10 weeks.

 

[unplugged]

Ralphy went from 2 weeks to 3-4 within 20 secs. Not sure if he watched it again a couple of times or just genuinely has NFI

 

[ksardog]

McCreery just doesn’t do enough to warrant games. His only attribute is tackling, which he’s good at but you need to offer something else. Averaging 11 disposals and less than a goal a game. One of those needs to lift dramatically.

McReery is the perfect player to be a sub, manic pressure for a qtr. he is slowly but surely playing his way out of the side in my opinion. Cant have a guy on the ground for a full game who has 10 minutes of good football

 

[JoinDate]

Ralphy conceded given the rating system it's 2 weeks but wants 3-4 weeks.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Don't know how evident it is on the telecast, but the conditions aren't great here. Wind is blowing everywhere. It's not a great game but it's not easy out there either.

Its windy, but the kicking to F50 is into areas where there's 3 Bloser defenders to one of our forwards, then they are just running it out...

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Jon Ralph may very well be the biggest flog in the media, no wonder he missed the chief of the sun role.

 

[swoop42]

Hill is the one who needs to improve. So much talent being wasted to often.

The wet conditions favour the more contested game of Carlton I'm afraid.

Rain rain go away, come back another day!

 

[Aussie pie]

They’re playing us like GWS did with the short criss cross balls out of defence then the link up player which we don’t seem to want to chase. Forward line looking unorganised and crowded. Bobby no where near it, players trying to bust tackles, that was a terrible half of footy.
Fox trying to get Houston rubbed out for more than 2 weeks. Or should I say Ralph trying to get him rubbed out.

 

[ksardog]

Ralphy went from 2 weeks to 3-4 within 20 secs. Not sure if he watched it again a couple of times or just genuinely has NFI

I’m backing the NFI part of the equation

 

[Ctracks]

Settle down people.
Half time, 4 points.

 

[IlovethePies]

Fox commentaters trying to give Hoiston 10 weeks.

Because they are foxwits.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Don't know how evident it is on the telecast, but the conditions aren't great here. Wind is blowing everywhere. It's not a great game but it's not easy out there either.

Could see how windy it was during Reiwoldt and Betts pre-game bit on the ground. Add the rain and nobody can expect great skills but Pies ball handling has been pretty good considering.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Who criticised them for saying that?

CFC19902010, JoinDate, Chronz

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Ralphy conceded given the rating system it's 2 weeks but wants 3-4 weeks.

Any surprise...Ralphy will want him to get 4, maybe even 6!!!

 

[TradeDraft]

Here they come out of the woodwork.

Stay off then

 

[jjsmitty8]

• Not defending the middle of the ground well at all
• Carlton playing the conditions better
• Forwards are non-existent
• Lucky to be down 4

 

[TradeDraft]

Fox commentaters trying to give Hoiston 10 weeks.

They want him Locked Up

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Can people stop criticising Fox commentators for saying Houston is in trouble..? Houston is in serious trouble through his own stupid actions, not the commentators.

They shouldn’t be able to comment until after a report

 

[IlovethePies]

Settle down people.
Half time, 4 points.

Agree, only half time, and scoreboard hardly a concern.
Need to lift though.
