Our last game for the year is set for a 19:40 start. We are not on TV. Wish I could be there to cheer on Eddie and Levi for the last time. Probably David Teague as well, but we won't find out until Sunday about that.
We are anything but favourites. After last week we'd be lucky to get within ten goals of them.
Good on you, Weiters. Sheesh, he's got thighs like Big Nick! A little better defined, muscle wise, but bloody huge like tree trunks.
We can win this. Keep up the pressure boys.
So engrossed by the first 2 games today I near forgot about this one.
Please, let this be Ploughman's last game. Panics as soon as he's under pressure.
Other than that, we are doing OK...................................................at the moment,
Well done, Kemp... great punch, set up the goal.
Well done, Kemp... great punch, set up the goal.
Hope he gets another contract, will be a very good player for us.
McG injured? Again...
How good is kemp
Another never to get a game again. Williamson. I don't know the player who was on his right hand side about 20 metres clear of anyone running towards goal with his arm up, but Williamson just didn't even bother to look qat what options he had.
Wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if we won this....haha.
Willo! FFS, you had a handball over the top. No more kick and hope.
Is that Durdin's first?
Durdin you little ripper. Roll on 2022.
Kemp... roll on 2022.
Is that Durdin's first?
Yep. Man he's quick. Can't wait to see more of him. The pressure he applies is bloody brilliant.
Keep the pressure up, boys.
Be kinda nice to end the year by knocking this mob out of finals
Wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if we won this....haha.
Laugh until you cry 😂
Goodbye Newnes as well. What a weak attempt if you can call it that to tackle and it's cost us a goal.
It looked worse in replay.
Only our mistakes keeping this bunch in the game.
Love the spirit and mongrel at the aggot from our boys.
On top everywhere.
Come on boys, kick these pretenders out of the 8.
Kayo runs about 20-30 sec behind so I can check to see if they kick the goal before they kick the goal...haha.
And that says it all you need to know about LOB. On his preferred kicking boot and misses.

There is a 'live' button you can hit which will take you up to date. ;)

Can you arrange a fast fwd so the final siren sounds. NOW 😊
Should have been a free to Honey... great tackle.
Well done, Blues. Great attitude. Taking the game on. Defensive pressure also top hole. Deserved lead at qtr time.
Bloody hell, LOB.
So here's the problem. It is impossible for us to sustain this effort for four quarters. We needed to have at least five goals if not six on the board.
FFS Newnes, basics 101... put your hands out in a situation like that, don't try to take a chest mark!! Rookie mistake.
Newnes again, shizen disposal. Thank the gods others cleaned up his mess and we goaled. Gee E Curnow is working his guts out. Again.
Hey gents, I would like to "like" some of your posts, but got no idea how to do it, coz I can't see a like icon.
Ed's started like a house on fire. Keep it up in honor of your namesake Ed.
Good defensive pressure. Don't let them get a sniff.
Well done Levi 👏🏽
That's better, LOB.
Casboult to Eddie, nice way for them both to end their careers.
Well done, Levi. Good thinking.
Levi and Eddie combine!

There's a small thumbs up icon in the bottom right hand side of the post window, in between the words "Quote" and "More".
Levi to Eddie 👏🏽 for the last time ever 😫
What happened to Honey?
Levi to Eddie 👏🏽 for the last time ever 😫
I'd like to see it another 5 times.....still got 2 and a bit quarters for it to happen ;)
When will these blokes learn that you don't look at the players hands holding the ball, you watch the hips and they tell you which way the player will go.

Sorry mate, I can't find it anywhere.
I have been watching Stocker closely. The jury is out, but from what I have seen so far, he isn't going hard enough to tackle opposition. He tends to stand back and watch.
Sorry mate, I can't find it anywhere.
You don't have those three icons on your screen, as shown in the red rectangle in the attachment ?
I'm trying to work out why Kemp has twice kicked the ball so low when on the run. Unlike Dwayne Pipe, I don't reckon it's because he's running too fast. It might happen once, maybe twice, but if it happens again, it could be a problem that he has to rectify.

Fisher, you are a joke. Right next to the GWS player who grabs the ball, and instead of tackling jumps in the air. Why he did? because he's weak as water.
Bloody red time.
No mate.
Hmm. Can you tell me about your device, Operating System and web browser ?
bignic, do you post replies directly from the "recent posts" submenu ? That might be your problem. If you are actually posting from within the thread, the icons should show.
Hawkins has 3. Don't see him kicking another 6 in the 2nd half to deny Harry his Coleman. Geelong have kicked 8 on the trot.

You’ve jinxed it probably!!! 😭
Hmm. Can you tell me about your device, Operating System and web browser ?
Mate, I'm 72, using a desk top computer, and have got no idea how it works. I'm just happy that I can switch it on.
Just to give you an idea how technologically incompetent I am, I was having an issue with the computer , and my 6 year old granddaughter who was visiting when we were allowed to have her over, could hear me going off my head about it.
So she comes into the room and asks what's wrong grandpa? i tell her I can't get the computer to get rid of this thing on the screen. She walks over, touches three keys, and my problem is solved. So a 6 year old was able to do something that I had no idea how to do it.
And you want me to answer your questions.
Ploughman has got a better chance of winning the Brownlow.
I do appreciate you trying to help.
Crippa big today, Weiters. That 50 against Walsh was a joke.
Still want to smack Toby in the face, has that smug Prick look about him.
Wondering if Newnes has been told he’s out? Has done a number of things that have annoyed me today already!
Has Newman been told to stop and slow it down whenever he touches it? It’s annoying to watch.
Apart from all that, go Blues! I watched and barracked for Brisbane against WC just before and thought gee it’s nice to have an exciting game and barrack hard and have them win!! Felt… foreign 😂

I'm pretty sure I'm posting from within the in game thread. I'm doing what I've done since I joined. Under this post it says three words, Post Preview, save draft.
Don't worry bignic.
We can imagine your "likes"
Good to read your comments 👍
Hire her as a tutor
@bignic ... you're never too old to learn :)

When you are drafting your post, that's correct - it should say Post Preview, save draft. When you read my post or anyone else's can you tell me what words are in the bottom right ?
Fair enough. I'm happy to keep helping if you like.
It's OK Paul P. I just want to let everyone know that I appreciate your likes, and appreciate all your posts.
I haven't posted much this year because of lockdown. Wasn't in the mood and our wonderful teams performances didn't help.
Let's hope something good comes out of the review, and whoever they appoint coach and the assistants, and whoever they recruit, will at least give us some joy next year.

That worked You'r a genius. 8)
Fisher has been terrible.

Yep I keep waiting for him to play 4 quarters of consistent footy. Never happens
That 50 against Walsh was a joke.
Watched Walsh in the replay, closely, to see what it was for. Nothing, nothing, nothing, umpire calling 50. Still no idea - a shove in the chest???
They've kicked 5 of the last 6.

Truth be known, it took me months to work it out... then my grandson came to my help!! Voila! ;D
As expected, they've turned up the heat... now for the test, now's the chance to rewrite our old, predictable script. Come on boys. Need an inspirational goal.
Is it me or does ever other side seem to have young kids come into their side who can take intercept marks but we have no ther option than Plowman.
That turnover from Kennedy is symptomatic of two things about our team. Firstly, Turnovers have killed us all year.
Secondly, most of our players lack a football brain. What you just saw Ed Curnow do, is a prime example of both. The man is 45 metres out and clear, why not take the shot. Instead he passes to Honey.
Plowman... holy mackerel man, where's your awareness!!! Though how about the illegal disposal from Greene... one hand throw into the ground. Pick up your game, ump.
Nick Newman weak as water in that passage
Is Cripps injured (afl match stats)
Also says Newman off injured

The old p1ss poor midfield, forward line connect is rearing its ugly head... under pressure, old habits emerge. Kicks into the forward line that land on opponents chests is, as you say no. 2, p1ss poor footy IQ. ::)
Casboult not even running
There's the drop off - 40pt turnaround 🤨
Old habits creeping back. Newnes too focussed on getting his man off the ball rather than attacking the aggot and beating him too it. In the first qtr, we were attacking the aggot... get a message to them, TT, to attack the aggott, don't fear your opponent or a mistake.
You can do this, BlueBaggers... need a steadier, now!!!
Dow on as sub.
Act, TT, act!!! Makes a change or two... give them something to think about... get creative.
Cripps subbed out
There's the drop off - 40pt turnaround 🤨
39...lol.
If you want to know just one reason why Teague needs to go, here it is.
The concept of taking ownership, does not exist in our team. Charlie Curnow could have taken ownership and kicked for goal. What does he do, passes it to his brother who is in a perfect position to have a shot, after all he's kicked bananas from 40 metres out on the boundary line.
We have seen player after player pass from 40-50 metres out from goal all year, to a player in a worse position. I have never been able to understand why the coach would not give one instruction which would apply to every player on the ground. If you are within that 50 metre arc, take ownership and have the shot for goal.
They're picking our game plan apart. Come on, TT. Do something!!
I reckon we all knew it.
We do not have the players, or the ability, to put in an effort like we did in the first quarter, not get reward for effort, and expect to win.
They're picking our game plan apart. Come on, TT. Do something!!
With respect, If you can tell me what Teague's game plan has been since round one, you deserve a gold medal.
Enjoy the Swan Lager Fisher.
FFS, come the opposition pressure, we just drop our heads.
This GWS mob is not that good... reverse the pressure, get bold.
I rest my case after that Ed Curnow goal!!!
We must have known they'd up the ante in the 3rd and subsequently have a plan, a strategy to counter it!!!
I reckon we all knew it.
We do not have the players, or the ability, to put in an effort like we did in the first quarter, not get reward for effort, and expect to win.
Even Cameron knew it. Said during half time interview that we are happy to be close to them as they are faster starters. Our midfield will now go to another level.
He knew.

or the coaching to go into a game with more then 1 plan. it seems we stick with the one plan no matter what
I think my stream may be running behind you guys due to a fair bit of buffering, but anyway we yet again look out of petrol tickets at this stage.
We ended their run of 5 with risk and taking it on... well done, E. Curnow...
Buddy Franklin gets away with that arc all the friggin' time, ump!
It's only 15pts boys. We can do this.
Act, TT, act!!! Makes a change or two... give them something to think about... get creative.
His single greatest failing ... coaches box

Smarmy pr1ck, hope we regroup and thump them to wipe that smugness of his face.
What is it with the Carlton full stop. Men give up 5 goals runs all the time and all last season the women gave up 4 goal runs in 10 min every week. Hard enough kicking 4 in that game let alot 4 so quick.
His single greatest failing ... coaches box
Hopefully the players take the bull by the horns and initiate change and boldness. We must give them & Cameron something to think about. We've got the blokes to do it... an inspiring few acts and a goal to start the final qtr. Come on, BlueBaggers... dig deep.
That's Dow all over. He's done that, running towards an open goal, straight in front and misses.
I should be into our game but the Geelong v Melbourne game is fascinating. One on TV, the other on Kayo.
That 4 to Ed now?
Ed with another. He's on fire
That's the ticket, fellas, now back it up... sow doubt in the GWS players...
That's what you call brainless, stupid, imbecilic, football.
Idiot Saad. Idiot! Could you have picked him out any better.
Time for some Honey magic.
I’m geniuinly confused how oppo players are allowed to hold our mids at centre bounces, but the frees generally go against us. What was that last gws free at the bounce for??
That's what you call brainless, stupid, imbecilic, football.
Did a great job preventing the mark then Saad turned it straight over.
You could see it... too many of our blokes just jogging in this last qtr. Too many have thrown in the towel... someone has to stand up... leadership needed.
As I have said many times. NOT FIT ENOUGH….
Fisher shirked the contest
Probably knows he is going 😂😂
As I have said many times. NOT FIT ENOUGH….
...or just lack of ticker to persist, that makes any player look unfit. If we kick two quick ones, you watch them lift. Just a mob who give up when the going gets tough...
King's blaming Weitering for Himmelberg marking on the goal line, it was Kemp standing him! :o
In the 3rd Qtr King was slamming Plowman for giving up on Green who marked uncontested, it was Kemp or Stocker on Green, Plowman was 40m away in the goal-square standing on Hogan while Weitering was off.
They have tossed it in. Going through the motions of playing out the quarter. I reckon when Dow missed that sitter running in to goal, I saw the most emotion that I have ever seen from DT. He probably knows he's done, but was thinking, bugger, if he kicks that we are back in it.
it would have been a forlorn hope, but that miss, totally knocked the stuffing out of Teague.
Fisher shirked the contest
Done it all night... has let his team mates and club down a number of times tonight, the very definition of passenger. Wants to do the fancy, easy things but not the hard things.
Please, not another 4-5 goal loss.
Find something fellas... just keep the aggot away from Fisher.
What do we need to do to get rid of dwaaaaaayne? It’s the little, “and he’s holding it”, “Gets in his back”, “maybe a little throw”, “gets away with a push”. ALWAYS pointing out a potential Carlton indiscretion. He can’t farken help himself
Durdin... future gun. Come on Levi.
Plenty of time... another draw? Anything but a 24pt loss.
You could see it... too many of our blokes just jogging in this last qtr. Too many have thrown in the towel... someone has to stand up... leadership needed.
Defending ok but soon as the ball goes beyond centre it springboards back. We are impotent beyond the centre.
In other games Melbourne come from 44pts down (32pts at 3/4 time) and win after the siren at the Cattery. Geelong kicked 9 consecutive goals at one stage.

As I've written before, there is a whole generation currently in AFL Admin and AFL Media that blame their own lack of success during their playing and coaching careers in the 80s and 90s on Carlton's TPP violations. Dwayne, Darcy, BT, etc., etc.
They hate us and they can't hide it.
Then you have the Sheedy indoctrinated CheatsTV which hate us anyway, The Dots is dominated by McGuire apologists, so we are on a hiding to nothing!
Harry wins the Coleman!!!
Come on, fellas, lift your heads.
Brackets looks much better when involved in the play.
Sorry to say it, but this is probably the most selfish game I have seen Eddie play. Flying for impossible marks when he should have stayed down, just for show. Good luck to him in his retirement, but tonight's effort has been very very ordinary.

You can tell he doesn’t even know he is doing it, just instinctual little comments, barracking without realising it
Two critical defensive failures from Fisher in these dying moments. Costly.
We've defended pretty well but been dead impotent beyond the centre.
Colossal effort, TDK. Colossal.
Just bloody glad nothing serious.
Hope the boy is ok. Looks like a decent concussion. He's a future champ of our club.
We've defended pretty well but been dead impotent beyond the centre.
Serious talent in the GWS side, when you can set up rotations that leave Whitfield off the HBF.
There isn't another club in a competition that could do that!
Colossal effort, TDK. Colossal.
Just bloody glad nothing serious.
Loved him trying to run off - tough
That looks awful allowing TDK to try and jog off. surely you hold the kid and walk him off under support.
Just awful.
Imagine the boys parents watching that. Fking hell
Gents and Ladies if there are any on this site. It's been a pleasure. see you next season.
Dare we say it... an honourable loss, a brave effort! :(
Loved him trying to run off - tough
Really. I hated it. Looked bloody awful.
Now let's see Durdin and Fisher carry off Levi ;D
Really. I hated it. Looked bloody awful.
Big fellas often get dizzy when they stand up after a head knock, must be giraffe mode.

They had the stretcher but looked like his decision to try to run off. Better to just tell him to get on the stretcher.
GWS will get hammered in the finals IMO.....they are not that great and if they didnt have Ward that midfield wouldnt look so flash either.
I know who Im barracking for in the finals. The gesture at the end by Ward and Cogs giving Eddie an indigenous GWS jumper and bottle of wine, pure class. Well done GWS.
Defensive 50 worked but we were impotent at times beyond the centre. There we didn't defend that well. We just had the one tackle in the F50 compared to their's 19.

Agree, wonderful gesture.
