It wasn’t a pretty game but Carlton just have a way of making teams play badly. Couple that with Geelongs defense and the dewy night and it was always going to be a slog
Isn't it the old idea that regardless of the sport, that a match between a struggler vs a higher placed contender can result in a scrappy match, because the struggling team can pull their opponent down to their level.

Fight MBD Big Freeze 4 has launched with beanies now available to buy through https://fightmnd.org.au/

The Herald Sun has also broken the news on who will be going down the slide into the ice water this year - probably to the annoyance of Fox Footy who I think were hoping to present themselves as having the exclusive info:

COACHES from every AFL team will take the plunge for Fight MND’s Big Freeze 4 in an extraordinary show of support for one of footy’s most inspiring personalities.
All 18 coaches will set aside rivalries in an extraordinary nod to footy legend Neale Daniher and hundreds of others battling motor neurone disease.
Collingwood’s Nathan Buckley and Melbourne’s Simon Goodwin will be among the first to slide into a pool of ice at the MCG ahead of the Queen’s Birthday clash between the two teams on June 11...

...The result has seen $23.3 million invested in research and care, $6.68 million for four new clinical trials, another $6.89 million in drug development and research grants, $2.47 million invested in much-needed care equipment, and $4.5 million for a world-first drug screening project.

Is it just me or the Swans a lot more niggly than they used to be? Have definitely targeted Cripps with little whacks and elbows as they have gone past him.

We generally don't do it - or if we do we're shite at it.

Tbf Cripps has been a little arogrant shit the last two weeks that I’ve watched him, he’s been trying to rile up his oppents and getting under their skins.

Appears to be working too
