[The Smaller Warrior]

Really quick and nice goal there from Carlton off a good smother to stop a Crows 50 Metre entry.

Carlton 4. 1. 25
Adelaide 0. 2. 2

Crows look a little slow at the moment.

 

[Riggy1]

Is Edwards going for it from 60m?

 

[Riggy1]

Vince is from Woodville-West Torrens not Woodville you idiot!

 

[ronnie1234]

Woooooo Dougie We finally get our first goal

Cmon Fellas

 

[Riggy1]

I've actually liked this quater (more so the latter part)
may be down 4.1 to 1.5 but we're getting our hand on the ball and our pressure is causing turnovers. Could very easily get back in this now and take this game

reminding me of Hawthorn vs Adelaide late last year at the G

 

[Abstract]

goal!

 

[Bockchoy67]

Don't you just love how the opposition can kick goals from every corner on the oval but we can't even kick a goal straight out in front?

caused by a Goodwin stuff up
Ratten's stupidity is coming through now
Craig has figured out how to beat him and we've turned the tide (but dont expect a bag from Tippett, more likely to get them from Maric)

 

[ronnie1234]

And Johncock saves us from leaking another goal

 

[Riggy1]

Yarren with the ball
Robinson and Gartlett helping him out
vs Johncock

and Johncock wins the battle

 

[Riggy1]

what was the point of showing Talia in the crowd?
and then Tim Lane saying it was Bock (and he was sitting next to Hentschel)

 

[Bockchoy67]

Douglas has been really good once again.

 

[Riggy1]

innacurate but we're on top (not on the scoreboard though )

 

[xamol]

Aaarrrggghhh
2 goal 7.

Just imagine 7 goal 2

 

[cammo84]

Did anyone hear the umpire call Walker "Tex" late in that quarter?

 

[Riggy1]

Davis 1st quater
2 touches (1 kick, 1 handball) 100% disposal efficiency
and he outbodied his oppenent in a marking contest forcing the ball to ground, teammate mops up and sends it forward setting Knights up for his behind

not bad

 

[showdownhero]

Anyone noticed this match has all the atmosphere of a paint drying contest?

Seems like they have the ground microphones turned way down... that combined with Kelli Underwood makes for an uninspiring telecast.

I tipped about 7.2 in the 1st quater in the faceoff thread didn't I?

Did anyone hear the umpire call Walker "Tex" late in that quarter?

I didn't notice
I did however notice them call him Petrenko

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

We are losing, but there have been some good signs. I think we might get on top in the second.

 

[WALL-e]

McLeod Douglas and Stiffy playing well.

Davis looking settled.

Please start kicking straight.

Kelli Underwood is a horrible commentator, almost making Lane standable....but not.

Yeah I thought that was freakin weird too.

Talia next to McKernan.

Lane called Walker Petrenko though.

they always do that for games with biggish crowds
if we had 15,000 less the microphones would be on and it would sound loud

 

[Cap]

well so far its pure wastage thats cost us. davis has been good bit far out our forwards are shit

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

sowly getting on top, however turnovers killed us that qtr

we just need to ensure that the betts / yarren type of players dont get behind our defence
