Blues are on fire rn. Really impressive

edit: Also like how they aren't blaring music after every goal. Nice change for once

Playing very well. Also getting some handy support from the umpires.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Are you a believer yet dlanod ?

That always helps, but they're thoroughly outplaying the Swans at the moment

 

[Ceebee]

18 to 6 free kicks in favour of Carlton and a feral crowd , scary stuff .

Vossy sure has got them playing well .

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Ladhams would be a frustrating player to support. Will do one brilliant thing and follow it up with 5 dumb/lazy things.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Only about 20 years overdue, but nevertheless, nice to see Sydney defenders getting knocked off for holding.

 

[The Zork]

Purposely dropping the ball mid tackle hoping that the tackle lingers is the new buckling at the knees in a tackle

 

[luthor]

Ridiculous HTB against Cripps.

Clearly knocked out out from the tackle

 

[AFLQLD]

Carlton’s contest is great but I think they could be vulnerable because they rely heavily on numbers. Sydney look best when they keep their width and Carlton can’t get numbers there.

I never liked that rule that if it gets knocked out in the tackle then play on. Its still incorrect disposal.

 

[KissKiss]

He'd had plenty of time to avoid and was trying to fend. While maybe not technically correct, I still it had all the vibe of being htb. I'm ok with it

 

[AFLQLD]

Sydney are finally playing Carlton the right way. Could still be too late but Carlton don’t seem to defend well against uncontested possessions.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Regardless if that was a mark or not. Heeney has to give it over the top. Selfish

 

[MSB ROYS]

Sydney blew that in the last quarter. No composure going forward.

 

[Hirsty23]

Regardless if that was a mark or not. Heeney has to give it over the top. Selfish

That made me furious. What was his thought process? Even if it was a mark he'd prefer to go back and take the shot? And waste 15-20 seconds? Zero sense, just selfish footy.

Carlton just don't defend. Very good attacking team but their inability to defend will cost them in finals.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Logan McDonald is so good. North taking Phillips won't be Tambling, Franklin bad but still an absolute shocker

Looking like an elite KPF. Phillips had better be a gun or it's a huge mistake.

 

[Elixuh]

Thought the only reason Swans lost that in the end was due to lack of representation from small forwards.

 

[briztoon]

Watching the likes of Carlton, Fremantle, Melbourne, it feels like we’re still one genuine inside midfielder short.

But I don’t know where to drop a small player from, to fit another mid in.

If we’re going to continue to play Bailey, Zorko and Rayner in the forward 50, it appears to me that McCarthy might be the unfortunate player to make way.

I have a feeling Rayner is still that midfielder, has taken some steps the last couple weeks and I feel the club are managing his workload in the midfield so he is primed for the end of the season. I think he’ll play some bigger minutes in there for the next few weeks, then rest up forward a bit more, then back in there for the backend of the season.

That’s also my view of what the club is aiming for.

I see what you're saying about a genuine mid though, where other teams have a fouth mid we're running a group of Zorko, Bailey and Rayner through which I don't mind. It's not as settled as other teams and there's a few moving parts but if it clicks it'll be pretty dynamic. I don't think there's another team in the comp that has the constant changing of positions throughout a game like we do, it was something the Hawks had during their dynasty and it seems Fages has brought it with him.

 

[Fizzer Kellity]

Will be kinda fun if we lose tomorrow..meedja will have Blues as the immediate threat to Dees

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Same as last kick over boundary.. You get back to little league footy no one touches the ball and watches it slowly roll over

If they are going to stick with insufficient intent I wish they’d ping defensive players for this
