ALSO what’s with Gubby sitting with TDK at the start of the game? Trying to lure him over?

Interestingly, we ended up winning the contested possessions and losing the uncontested possessions, when it was the other way around I thought, to HT.

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.

Well, I guess that's why they call it/them the Blues.

Good win in the end, i thought Carlton's reserves team was going to prevail until Jack snapped the winner.

:lol: :lol:


The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

WTF was with 2 - 12 freekicks becoming 15 - 16???

That is what gives umpiring a bad name - call them that are there - don't make [sh]it up just to even the count.

There is no way we went from being that clean to that dirty after half time - some of those frees were laughable.

But - I have worked the formula
First half use rough smashing tackles - drive them into the turf - elbows to the back of the head as you mark - give away 12 free kicks
Second half you get them back and they are battered up and scared.
[Unless you are St Kilda - then you don't get them back]

Dud - defend the 50's and the high on Saad or the blocking free on a kick into the 50 that was not paid earlier in the game!!!!

It was horrible umpiring. That umpire 32 made some disgraceful calls.

Maybe 32 is .....
- His ranking as an umpire (out of 36)
- HIs IQ

Who knows - but seriously .... WTRF

There were more than a few questionable decisions.

No one should be afraid to point that out.
