Bahaha

Just saw the final score Sts v Freo

Bahahaha

 

[WCErevival]

The Lamb/Blakely comparison is almost looking like a win to us.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

If only Ross the Floss dedicated some time to skills instead of lurking in a dark seedy alley in a trench coat hunting for budding boobs.

Carlton go goalless in the first term but don’t look all that bad. North Melbourne 2.0, or an actual chance at a close game?

Carlton aren't going to beat Richmond if thats what you're thinking.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Carlton’s i50s make me want to gouge my eyes out. Thank * we get to watch attractive football every week under Simmo.

No, but they might run them close and keep them exhausted for next week. Heavy rain starting to fall.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I can say this one our board - Carlton was playing much harder against us.

Last week they believed they could win. This week it's going through the motions.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Carlton player just kicked the ball to a teammate from behind his own goal. Like he marked near his goal square, slid over the line, turned around whilst standing behind the goal umpire and kicked it to a teammate for an easier shot, all while behind the goals.

Is that legal?

 

[Matera92]

Freo - Best fourth quarter team in the comp apparently.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Dale Thomas also has money on the Tigers.

Definitely wasn't legal in the past. Now I don't even know.

Yes it is unless he runs off his line or kicks in between the other posts.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Mitch McGovern is basically a clone of Levi Casboult. What the * were they thinking picking him up?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Yes it is unless he runs off his line or kicks in between the other posts.

But he wasn’t on his line to begin with. He marked inside the field of play, his line would have been deep in the pocket, yet he kicked it from 5m behind the goal line. Very strange.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Feel very positive that we won’t just play into Richmond’s hands like Carlton (and most of these stupid teams) are. Just bang the ball long, every time.

Wide open? Bang it long.
Under pressure? s**t. Bang it long.

Would love to see how Richmond look in a game where the other team isn’t just handing them the footy ad nauseum.

 

[ep2018]

Another couple losses and they'll be off the Teague train.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Mitch McGovern is basically a clone of Levi Casboult. What the fu** were they thinking picking him up?

Picking him up wasn't the issue but Carlton-ing him is.

He had a back problem in the pre-season right? Looks like a guy who hasn't recovered from a back injury to me.

But Carlton obviously need him back for their top 12 push.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Mitch McGovern better be giving Jeremy half of his salary. Genuinely might not have a job if not for sharing a surname.

 

[Shuestar13]

A legitimate waste of talent... No work ethic, lazy and lacking commitment in all aspects.
He appears to be better today... but a long way to go to be a consistent and elite player. Not a patch on our Gov

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Truly one of the worst rounds ever.

 

[HungLong]

One for the ages.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Glad Carlton made Richmond work to a degree

 

[eaglespremiers]

What a farce that last goal to the Tigers was. Clearly after the siren. Ump should be given his marching orders.

Richmond 73, Carlton 45. Carlton fought back and Tigers made it look better with two late goals (including one after the siren).

Carlton spent the entire first half playing into Richmond’s hands, blindly bombing and desperately playing on at all costs. Didn’t see the second half, but I assume they tidied that up given the scoreline.

Eagles methodically, surgical, Hurn to Gaff to Shep to Gaff gameplay could really trouble them.
