The AFL fix is in they want blues in the finals - unbelievable umpiring

There was some seriously questionable decisions against Carlton then

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Cats can bring him into their inner sanctum. Yet we can't. Makes you sick.

Ah the Clarko legacy still giving

This hurts.

 

[hawkman]

This is as big a smashing since half way through the 1st as our Sydney game

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

sydney are so damaging from stoppage. the breakaway speed and skills of their mids is so impressive. watching them since the game makes me feel so much better out our performance vs them

is a bonafide star - the Swines midfield is elite and only getting better

 

[Slaatybaadfaast]

Pittonet's gone toe to toe with Grundy. He was a great pick-up for the Blues. Good to see him do well

 

[Flag08]

wtf did Melb just give Grundy away

They have a ruckman and he cost a bomb

 

[Flag08]

Blues and Scheffler having bad days

 

[moginie]

Thank god we don't play Sydney again.

 

[killerspud]

starting to think our loss to the Swines in the context of the thumping they are giving the blues now wasn't so bad - at the time people were talking about sacking our coach - no one will be talking about sacking Voss. - again it shows how ridiculously hard our first 6-7 weeks were.

There was some seriously questionable decisions against Carlton then

The insufficient intent against Hollands does my head in. His intent was to kick the ball away from the contest to run onto it. If an umpire can’t see that intent, he should not be in charge of a game. The key word is intent so umpire the intent FFS. Why not penalise a player dribbling for goal, only to have it roll out of bounds. The intent was to score but it went OOB. Very little difference.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

At the moment the Swans just move the ball quickly and with great efficiency, teams are going to have to start putting more pressure onto there ball winners, and there rebounding defenders

 

[Slaatybaadfaast]

wtf did Melb just give Grundy away

They struck his substantial salary off their books

I did think at the time that was masterful trading by Swans.

They seem the standout side.

I don’t have too much of a beef with Swans. I hated the team from 2012-2015. Don’t have strong feelings about the club itself. Happy for Parker to be kept out of the side

 

[extractasam]

Just me or was that Zac Williams tackle a reportable one ? Dunno what’s what really if Scrims is a 1 week

 

[Off The Couch]

Watch Warner cop a fine

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Geelong did not start the year on fire - they beat the Saints, Crows, Hawks, Dogs, North, Lions and then Carlton.

I’ll pay Carlton as a good win - all the rest are bottom 4 or massive underachievers this year.

Blues at one stage were 2.9 and 3 OOTF to 5.2.
Blues and Lions poor conversion were the only reasons the Pussies beat them.

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Just me or was that Zac Williams tackle a reportable one ? Dunno what’s what really if Scrims is a 1 week

Absolutely. Same same.

 

[extractasam]

Absolutely. Same same.

Just surprised me nobody talked about it on the coverage. Clear slam of the back of the head into the turf and richo says great tackle. So badly felt like an AFL directive

 

[Spursfan]

thought crossed my mind as well

I didn't think he hit his head. Just lucky.

Same tackle as Scrimshaw's, though.

 

[lethalselbow]

Carlton missing the eight? Starting to look bog average.

 

[Viddiot]

Weird.
Cats got smacked and I felt the schadenfreude. It was pleasant.
Carlton went down...badly...I don't really feel anything. It's just..'yeah, of course.'
So...I'm ambivalent towards the season.

Can we mathematically make the 8 if we win everything from now?
I mean...if we can...why not? to hell with carefully planned development...let's just bludgeon our way in?
