Re: Game thread V Blues
ALSO what’s with Gubby sitting with TDK at the start of the game? Trying to lure him over?

Re: Game thread V Blues
Interestingly, we ended up winning the contested possessions and losing the uncontested possessions, when it was the other way around I thought, to HT.

Re: Game thread V Blues
Where was the umpire praising in the first half?
Lol at the AFL conspiring for a Carlton win at half time

Re: Game thread V Blues
Good win in the end, i thought Carlton's reserves team was going to prevail until Jack snapped the winner.
How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?

Re: Game thread V Blues
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!!!!

Re: Game thread V Blues
There were more than a few questionable decisions.
