Think he was pushed, not tackled

Still illegal disposal. Didn't kick it.

Fair. We need a flow chart

 

[CHUBBSS]

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Maybe slightly dramatic, but I don’t see it having zero impact

 

[Steven Tyler]

devalue the prestige of earning a premiership

Renouf says hi

Nobody deserved recognition more than Whitecross but I doubt even a shitty ring would of made up for missing out

Renouf played in a winning team on GF day, he fully deserved his Premiership Medal

 

[BobHawk]

Geez some of these Carlton players make silly mistakes under pressure. Carlton are fortunate that they have a handful of players that can clean up. But this might be a problem that holds them back.

 

[VandoHawk]

Players have started driving their head into the ground to get the dangerous tackle free. Textbook tackle on Kemp reversed because of it.

 

[Flukey!]

Petracca is an amazing footballer.

Their best players are terrific but they do have lesser players who get very nervous in tight games

Hate it when clubs carry on like they’ve just had a massive win like they haven’t just given up a six goal lead

A win is a win. Let them celebrate.

1989 Grand Final, Hawthorn was up by about six goals at 3 quarter time. Just won.

Inside 50s. Carlton 41. Melbourne 61. Continues to be the most interesting stat this year.

Another game melb prob win expected score and lose. Bet their fans can’t wait to hear about next weeks focus on contest and defence and the “learnings” they’ll get from that game

I realise I’ll be in the minority here, but I actually think it’s kemp’s knee planting into the ground that propels him forward, not a deliberate tactic from him.

 

[Makedonija]

I really hope that dangerous tackle call is dragged through the mud over the next week. If that becomes the precedent then the game is cooked.

 

[MasterSamurai]

**** I hate Carlton with an undying ever growing passion!! I honestly couldn't give a rat's toss bag if they folded , wouldn't even ask why , just absolutely despise them more than any other club. Premiership? My arse!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Pretty useless first quarter from Melbourne. A team at that level shouldn’t be going scoreless.

Move on, mate. Please move on.

Only the Essenscum Druggies* are worthy of such devoted hatred.

I do recall the days when Princess Park was our home ground and Carlton treated us like 2nd class citizens

 

[Tanami]

I do recall the days when Princess Park was our home ground and Carlton treated us like 2nd class citizens

Carlton’s recruiting net had captured the likes of Stephen Kernahan, Craig Bradley, Peter Motley, Jon Dorotich and Bernie Evans....
We know how now......but that was some off seasons of recruiting.
Clubs are lucky now to pick qty 1 x A grader in an off season.
Shows how the lack of depth and quality of players is a huge problem for the game.

Dorotich was a beast......love to have that aggression in our backline now.

More referring to the way the club was treated than recruiting. However if you want to talk about recruiting back in those days they did sign John Platten behind our backs. Had to go to the supreme court from memory.

You need to be legally tackled for holding the ball. There’s no such rule for incorrect disposal that doesn’t require a legal tackle.
And even if it’s is a legal tackle if it’s knocked out because of said legal tackle it’s not HTB.

When I see this I instantly move onto the Cat's, they are solely deserving of my football contempt.

As the Scott brothers jostle for his signature, good bloke Tarryn Thomas is facing fresh police investigation for harassing more women.

I was about to post the Age is reporting that today. Unfortunately Thomas appears to be a recidivist. Caveat emptor!
