[Gussman]

Oh I do enjoy watching Carlton go from hopeful to distraught, all in one quarter.

 

[Quay Club]

I didn't know he could play wing. He would be handy for us

We offered him a spot and he met with Longmuir but he preferred the Swans offer which was for longer and more money.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Carlton should be banned from season openers again.

 

[Lach72]

24 points up to 40 points down.

I’ll allow it!

Carlton should be banned from season openers again.

Why? This is fantastic entertainment!

Carlton should be banned from season openers again.

Should be limited to Sunday twilight games.

Bleeding up 12 goals in a quarter!

Great to watch.

Liam Reidy 4 disposals in 3 qtrs, no returns ha ha.

Their board will be melting.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Just went outside for 30 mins. WTF happened?

 

[ImperialPurple]

I’m going to have to allow myself an early sneak peak at the Carlton board

 

[largebus]

Its a shame these games start early because of DST. CarLOLton should be for everyone to watch.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Warner with the 'money' sign after that goal.

Confirmed to West Coast.

 

[Lach72]

Good to see that bald headed maggot has no ****ing clue again.
Can’t wait for him to **** us

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Warner with the 'money' sign after that goal.

In all honesty they should just offer him $3m a year and tell the rest of their useless crabs to suck it up when they complain about it.

I just imagine Cripps hanging out with Cotchin, Pendlebury et al in 20 years. They're all recounting stories of flags and Crippa chimes in with how they beat both grand finalists in pre-season that one time.

 

[Lach72]

Serong had a huge debut.
Good on him but would’ve been good in purple

The main board was heaving with optimism too

Carlton remembered they were Carlton

 

[mattis117]

That bloke Kemp is absolute trash, holy moly.

They are being very complimentary to Reidy......not!

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Carlton look very unfit.

 

[Retzlaff]

Owies relieved to escape that basketcase

 

[Dockerjonz]

Has there ever been a coach sacked after the 1st game of the season?

Tough ask for Carlton. Two debutantes and they've completely run out of gas in humid conditions. When the stars fade the average players get sorely exposed.

None of what has happened here is surprising. Carlton are a bottom 6 team. Swans have looked poor for most of the game and their dominance only came off the back of Carlton fading.

Poor Liam. Not his fault he’s a potato, but they’ll turn on him soon enough.

Ooh on cue - yeah, a behind
