Game thread V Blues

[The_Dud]

lol, imagine just watching that game and what you come away with is sooking about umpires

You are right Dud! HOW ABOUT THE BOTTLE THROW?

There are a few bottle throwers in this thread!

But seriously, the Carlton cheer squad should be empty for their next game.

Honestly, can the credibility of the umpiring get any worse? There is no consistency at all in the decisions made, with 'russian roulette' decisions being made out that defy comprehension on so many occasions.
The AFL have a huge problem in the way they have invested and trained umpires and if this continues, it will drive supporters away from the game.

We are on to bottle throws now…

That would still have been a hurtful loss the way the game panned out, so I am glad we won even though it will cost us an earlier draft pick.

a draft pick 2 higher which doesn’t always mean a better player (Philipou vs Tsatsis anyone)

Exactly Tony! Any news on Joshy Battle or you can’t say?

Anyone you liking in the draft?

[bigcarl]

Faark tanking for draft picks. I’ll take the win any day. Did you see the joy on them when Higgins kicked that goal

And I think a slightly harder fixture next year. But honestly who cares... build that winning culture and stick one up the Bluebaggers, it's worth a million bucks.

[perfectionist]

Umpiring was OK. We got a few iffy ones in the first half as did they in the second half.

A fluke goal at the end won it for us. But I expect Port to beat Freo.

Loved Pou's game. Heaps of mistakes. But he was involved in all the big moments and didn't shy away.

Most exciting development of the season has been his development. Capped it off today with a bloody solid game. I'm so bullish on the kid. As excited as I've been about a young player since Rooey and co were drafted. Let's hope he keeps developing.

Just a sweet delicious result

Couldn't have scripted a better finish

Up the Mighty Saints!!

In regards recent Drafts we have done well out of the SANFL Under 18 competition

Watch this space!

I just paddled my way out of Marvel, on a river of tears from the Carlton fans. With apologies to Toyota, "Oh what a feeling!"

How did you score a ticket? Couldn’t even find one! Saw a lot of empty seats that I could have been sitting on! So mad!

A couple of Caaarlton supporting mates got tickets for me and my son. The downside was we had to sit amongst the Carlton members on level 2.

We had to be measured in our comments, however we had a perfect view of the Higgins, match-winning goal and it was fair to say we let rip when the ball gently floated over the goal line.

It was great to see the agony on their faces when the final siren went. All the big nosed, paper baggers were at their predictable worst throughout the game. The only thing better than Higgo's goal, was the silence it caused amongst them. Da, da, da, da, da, indeed

[Banger9798]

We were surrounded by totally silent Blues fans who seconds earlier had been counting down the clock....hilarious...we let them have it, and they couldn't raise a murmur

[magnifisaint]

f*** the draft picks. Leave that to North Melbourne. Better for the team to win the game.

True tony74 that's why I am happier with the win and avoiding ending the season with a hurtful loss. Self-believe and confidence going forward is more important to our young list.

[SaintPav]

Too bad Freo couldn’t finish off the job.

Not the first time Freo have chocked like this. We beat them in the final round 3 years ago when they had to win to make the 8.

Questions will be asked of their coach.

I remember that. Game in Tassie. A young Cooper Sharman kicked 3 IIRC

[Jacks Back]

That win was SO good. Carlton supporters are the most annoying, feral, mob I've ever heard. There's something mentally wrong with them. Virtually every 5 seconds BALLLL!!! FFS. Booing our guys when having a shot at goal. FFS what is wrong with them? They are also the only supporters I've heard yelling bulls*** all as one. What is wrong with them?

[bigcarl]

What was the free kick count in the end, anyone?

Thought we definitely had the rub of the green early, but when the game was up for grabs in the last, the umpires sided with the sizeable Carlton majority. Not sure we even got a free in the last.

Seems to me they did their best to even up the numbers.

[SaintJohn1956]

Free kicks finished 15 to 17 our way. I was at the match and I agree I've never heard a crowd like it. I know all supporters are a bit one eyed but they are shockers - I think they had case for some decisions early but almost evened out in the last quarter. Honestly who really knows what holding the ball and incorrect disposal are any more?

You nailed that comment brother.
It’s a lottery.

You know it’s contentious when the whistle is blown and the players don’t instinctively know which way the free kick is going and stand there looking confused.
