* me I'm so nervous

LOL at that being paid a mark to Curnow.

Every key forward must dream of getting the ride he does.

Carlton still have 3 possible week one opponents - GWS, Dogs, Swans.

How? They’re fifth and can’t move from there. It’ll be us or GWS.

Edit - sorry, just realised GWS can jump swans. And the draw is in play I suppose. Apologies.

Nope. Carlton cant finish anywhere but 5th but they only play GWS if today's game is a draw. GWS winning puts them in 6th or 7th (depending on % compared to Saints) and pushes Sydney to 8th, us 9th. Carlton winning keeps us 8th.

Understandable Its at the point where I’m really not nervous at all.

Hoping we make the finals because who knows what happens when they start but we really don’t deserve to be there so not going to be disappointed if we miss.

Maybe if it’s still very tight at the end, my heart might start racing.

Umpires doing EVERYTHING they can to win this for the Orange filth

unaustralian

 

[Fossie 32]

good job ump telling the gws player to stay back so he doesnt give away a 50

 

[Fossie 32]

crap no deflection

 

[Fossie 32]

and dont come back

I mentioned a few years ago we should have gone hard on getting Cal Ward back. He would be great support for Bont, Libba and West our only men with that toughness.

Thought he was cooked after the knee. Looked really slow the following year.

Looking good again now, great leader for GWS on and off field. Probably has a few seasons left in him still.

[hutchy31]

Yeah, this looks like it might be over soon. GWS the better team.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

On the bright side it’s great to see Caaarlton getting hammered.

They keep going and Saints will have to play then in shitney

 

[W W Biscuit]

Serious question. Does Gerard Healy have some sort of affiliation with the GWS? His commentating on their games is nothing short of barracking. He was shameless in his cheerleading when they played us, and again this evening versus the Blues. Haven't heard this type of bias since the days of Don Scott.

Always thought Carlton were overrated and sometimes copped flack for it. Their midfield isn't all that hard. GWS has the potential to do damage deep into the finals. But Saints, Blues and Swans are just making up the numbers. The Premiership winner will still come from within the top four.

Adam Simpson retained as Eagles coach ... after some deliberation.

That is a surprise.

He is a good coach and I was hoping we would be in the market for him IF WC let him go.

Reckon it's a soft cap related thing, probably have to wait another year before they can afford to pay him out and with many departed after hitting rock bottom it's almost risk free to keep him next year. If they don't improve then it's easy to cut him, if they do then they let him coach for the final year of his contract.
