Goals to Thomas & Everitt, good result.
Gibbs, did he take a short step ??
Struggling to sustain the pressure for more than 10mins. Pt mow starting to come into it.
I heard a "woof" when Watson kicked it too !!
robinson - you make me scream
Robbo 2 poor kicks in 2 minutes
Rather he earnt the right to a woof rather than PR spinning it.
Bad miss from Bell.
Good hard footy at present
Murph... Good
Was that a captain tackle that effected a goal PI2C?
Yep sure was. #3
Already you can see Murphy's intent to tackle is top notch, That's what I'm looking for.
What was great about that first goal from Thomas, other than goal itself, was his excitement. Hopefully It's infectious and help up the tempo..
That first snap by Garlett didn't seem touched.
Davey Ellard ........... staking his claim for a senior spot for the remainder of the season.
Ellard inspired move by MM

It hit daisy in the head

Hit Thomas' head
Curnow's hard running is phenomenal.
So far, so good. Keep it up, lads...............
Loving the quick movement and intensity atm
Warnock, Warnock!!!
Can we keep it up though for 4 qtrs?
I hope so!
Waite has waited 10yrs to finally play like this FMD
Jamison is owning Schultz at the moment.
Best qtr for a long time
Maybe the start of something
I reckon that 6 possession quarter from Murph was better than some 10 possession quarters he's had. Cracked in there, won some ball and applied great pressure.
If we play the whole season with that level of intensity and pressure we will go way further than I would of imagined pre-season.
port are rattled
I m loving the intensity around the stoppages, tackling had stepped up, that was missing last year
When Jamo is in this frame of mind he is unstoppable!!!
The feeling is awesome!
It's like john travolta said "electrifying " ????????
Impressive quarter.
Means nought if we relent.
How was that not in the back to jamo?
How did Jammo not get a free for in the back then ??
Gotta hold early part of this Q..
Damn that was almost a goal..
Now that was crap
Faaaaaaark
Defence were caught flat-footed then.
Hendo. needs to go to Westhoff
GTFOH... 3 in 6 mins...
Free kick yes, 50m penalty no.

What did Walker do? I heard something on the radio but didn't see anything or hear the whole story.

Late bump on Hoff after he marked. He hit the ball but late.
Curnow on track for a top 3 finish in the B&F so fair.

Sounds like he has something to answer for and may miss a few weeks.

Well we can't stop him so we tried to injure him.
Need someone on him fast.

He's come back on so unless they claim delayed concussion or like, he shouldn't have to be worried.
Wow the defence is a shambles.
Westhoff is getting to much of the footy. How did we not try to steal this guy. >:(

Need to move Hendo to go with him all night.
Hoff keeping them in it. He's killing us.
I'm sick of seeing that beard....
Thank goodness he can't kick
FMD mick make a fckn move on Hoff!
Skills are deplorable still
Change Robbo's name to butcher. Why murph passed I do t know.
menzel needs to come on-
who comes off guys?
Thank goodness he can't kick
Thank God none of them can kick. We were 24 points up only minutes ago. This is slack footy. I know I am listening on the radio and maybe its better my eys can't see what is really going on. Walker should have hit Westhoff harder by the sound of things. >:(
Our defence ATM isn't a top 4's ar$ehole!
Should have more of that Robbo
When r we gunna stop hand balling to guys with pressure on them?
Murph did it twice in the 5 mins.
Fkn awareness craps me
Robinson just has to kick those, they are the important ones that let the rest of the team down when they miss. It's deflating for everyone.
Change Robbo's name to butcher. Why murph passed I do t know.
Robbos disposable tonight has been pathetic. Murph should of had a shot. He kicks 9 outta 10 from that distance.
Well if robbos kicking stays like this he won't play a lot this year.
Juddy's, carrots, Doherty, cripps all to play soon. He will go!
We were looking okay but that second quarter showed our players still refuse to run both ways. Just staggered at the free space and free players Port has. The old Carlton would come out for 10 minutes then wilt. Let's see how we handle this.
Mitch Robinson will not be playing for Carlton by the end of the year.
You heard it hear first
Just on that Robbo miss, it was one of those goals that really count. Always expected Port to hit back that Q, but had he snagged it through it sort of takes some puff out of them after a better effort in that Q. Just gotta get those...
Cripps showed more in the NAB challenge than anything Robbo has shown tonight. Hope MM subs him of at half time and brings on some class in Menzel.
As I predicted we would have trouble with Westhoff who is too tall for our defenders.....it also proves that Everitt is no KP defender and I'd have him down forward.
Temptation is to move Henderson down back but I would delay that and hope that hit to the Hoffs bonce takes some effect and slow him down.....
Curnow playing a blinder for us and Davey Ellard has been great value...plaudits to for Tom Bell who has improved his decision making and looking more like a decent AFL footballer.
Robbo still divides opinion, plenty of grunt but also plenty of crape disposal....Gibbs on the other hand has been very silky and looked like a NO 1 pick.
Daisy been handy but cant kick straight....
I think we can hold Port off and win this game....Boak and Ebert have been tagged out of the game and Hartlett has come in for some treatment and looks a bit sore too me..
I'm liking Gibbs' work tonight. Is impacting the game and we'd probably be in a fair bit of trouble without him.
Daisy taking Judd's job of missing sitters.
Watson, need to look elsewhere IMO.
Daisy has never been a great set shot at goal.
Gibbs is all class. Love having the luxury of him floating into the fwd line. Good start by Daisy. Will be something when he hits his straps.
First quarter was tough, we pressured them and stopped their run. In the second, we decided that we'd done enough for the match and started coasting, the things that got us a good lead in the first completely disappeared.
Mitch Robinson will not be playing for Carlton by the end of the year.
You heard it hear first
I am watching the game with 3 mates. As soon as murph handballed to robbo we all screamed at the same time 'nooooooooo'.
That pretty much sums it up.
Unless he improves drastically If we are a genuine finals side there should not be a place for him.
Same goes for Watson-he has a massive kick and massive head.
That's about all he has.
Fark i hate Damien King!!!!
what a contrast to the first quarter !
I don't know why I bother posting here, nobody reads anything I say!
OMG. Players starting to turn on each other, plenty of finger pointing.
FMD!!!
get robbo off ffs
I don't know why I bother posting here, nobody reads anything I say!
It's the in game thread, mainly venting not too many replies CHIPS.
Be good if someone fckn stood up right now FMD
Dare I say it, but we are getting out coached.
GAWN!
40 point turn around in less that a quarter
Walker really shaky in defence.
Dare I say it, but we are getting out coached.
Yep
What the hell has happened since 1/4 time ??
Quick toilet break and I come back to hearing 15 points down ? What the feck has just happened ? I'm throwing the towel in early on this game and the entire season.
Again we win the taps but lose the clearance crap work rate.
$700000 an year should do better!!!!
FFS Daisy!
No wonder Pies Fckd him off :P
There it was for all to see quite plainly, the reason why Jeffy Garlett will never reach that higher plateau.
Takes a mark inside 50m and turns his back on play further afield and there was three players completely on their own nearly in the goal square.
Take off Warnock
Bring in Menzel
We rely on a Hail Mary kick to kick a goal. Not looking good for our structures.
McLean is a liability atm. Had an ok 1st Q but has been caught each time balls gone near him this Q.
Id take of robbo and ellard through the middle and Menzal up forward
We rely on a Hail Mary kick to kick a goal. Not looking good for our structures.
Couldn't agree more. Every goal we kick is a snap a mongrel a Hail Mary or a running goal from a mid.
Not one goal from a pass to a key forward on the lead.
Waite doing some handy work at least. Needs to keep it up though. How are we so bad at the clearances.
It's a dumb question I know (and I won't get upset like Goat if you don't answer, but) how important is Waite to us??
Hoff back as loose man in defense see what Mick does!!
When will they learn that the intensity they showed in the first 1/4 is required for the entire season to make top 4, let alone win this match.
Wow Yarran gets us back in front. This guy needs to fire the for remaining minutes of this game.
Ellard is busting his gut... Great centre clearance work there by him. I'd take of McLean and bring on Menzel
Why couldn't he do that against Richmond last year!!!!
Why couldn't he do that against Richmond last year!!!!
Lol... I was thinking same thing... It was an identical shot
When the momentum swings our way we needs to finish on the score board to punish the other side.
They have a few key players under done and might br gasping in the last quarter.
Watson just handballed directly to a Port player.

His head got in the way
Why is Murphy not taking his shots on goal. He is a good set shot normally. Why ? Is his confidence that low ?

Groin?
OP?
They are the main reasons blokes don't kick long, he is not fit again!
Why won't Murph have a shot?
Had our chance to get a three goal lead. Don't trust our fitness against there's - or our skill level.
Time to give up the boundary rubbish. How many times are we going to go through this where we struggle on the boundary then give it up and come good?
Watson head high hit at the end of quarter.
Fingers crossed he gets suspended for 12 weeks.
Everitt did everything right except hold the mark, had to have a second bite at it which gave the Port player a chance to spoil. Would of been kicking from the top of the square if he had of snaffled it the first time.
We can't let Port have a surge at any stage this last quarter. They punish the score board to quick when they get a run. I watched last years game at Edihad and I was creaming every time Port go a run on. Menzel must be ready to do something in the last quarter. Surely Menzel, Waite and Everitt need to trouble ports defence if Henderson isn't up forward. Haven't heard Hendo mentioned so I have no idea where he is ? Is he even playing ?
In all fairness to murph, with that last shot! the give off the 2E worked a treat last year, so was probably on.

Good luck with that, we had the coach who went fast through the midfield and we hung him. Now we have the guy who plays the safe stuff.

True

this
Watson just handballed directly to a Port player.
I saw Daisy F&ck up a few too but didn't hear you bag him. Give the kid a break I think it's fair that this year will be his make or break.
I reckon he's done ok tonight so far.
Commentators state Cassis and Cornes will struggle in the last with cramps and some niggles. Fingers crossed.
fk McGuire is a flog
Oh murph, should have attacked that pass
Wow that was poor from Murphy, had to put his body on the line in that marking contest.
Any chance that Menzel may come on Mick ::)
Thomas just kicked it straight to a Port player
Edit. Meant Bell
Same guy that out marked Murph, saving goal at other end, just had a shot himself in same sequence of play...
Port back in front with all the momentum. I worried this would happen early because if they set up a decent lead, we may run out of legs and not get back to win. ::)
Time to bring Menzel on !!
Need the extra run.
Do we have a coach?
Feck me another goal for Port. WTF is going on ?
I give up.
Bell subbed
Needed that three goal lead.
Game over....
The fresh legs Broadbent on as sub was critical move
Another Port goal to Schulz. I think we are gone and won't get this one back. How pathetic. Seriously how long were we waiting for Menzel. Too little too late maybe ?
Wow. This is going to go down well.
That goal by Polec might be the death-knell.
Where is that fitness from Buttifant.
Only 1 game in,back from Arizona and we are second to the ball. Utter bull crap
Every qtr they have had a player stand up. This qtr Polec us ??
May as well start tanking now.
Walker exposed down back overhead by a smaller player again. Same old sht.
Where is that fitness from Buttifant.
Only 1 game in,back from Arizona and we are second to the ball. Utter bull crap
We had one of the world's top rated fitness guys so we hung him and hired someone's mate!
Fitness is not a problem when you run over sides regularly.
Game over. I'm switching it off.
Who is standing up for us?
Fat lady is clearing her throat.

It's the carlton way.
Goodnight fellas I've seen enough.
We have two weeks to fix it before the next game, oh wait we 3months to dish up this crap
Nothings changed. Our blokes are the dumbest and softest footballers in the comp. Take em to Arizona at seasons end and leave em there.
So getting a guy in a headlock is kosher these days ??
Have we had a touch in this quarter?
We are seriously screwed in this game and this season. How do we bleed so many goals in a row ? Tigers will smash us next week. I don't even want to hear or see next weeks game. >:(
Lobbe has turned Warnock and Kreuzer into his bitches!
Warnock is not physical enough to be a great AFL ruckmen, and Kreuzer is no good at getting first hands on the ball.
In today's stats hides the lie that is the value of hitouts, Warnock is rated elite apparently!
150 years
best pension fund in the AFL
join us soon
Faaaarkkkk ................................ dumb decisions coupled with woeful skill errors = an easy loss.
When can we get rid of this frigging stadium
I want to hear Micks spin on this loss. I want to hear the crap that is going to come out of his mouth. Feck him off.
Is MM still there?
It's going to be aloooong bloody season
34 points .......... we are crap !!
Over-rated and the players believe the media hype.

Quoted for truth.
Watson head is massive head but nothing I repeat nothing in it.
our backline is ice - a bit of heat
turns into water
Every time Krooze goes into the ruck we have not been able to get a clearance all game.
I want to know what is so good about this Buttifant bloke ??
Our players cannot run out a game !!
walker is dumb footballer
I want to know what is so good about this Buttifant bloke ??

he's micks mate - they wrote a book together
When we do have the ascendancy we do nothing with it. Also walker a moron
I want to know what is so good about this Buttifant bloke ??

Very good question. We were known for running out a great last quarter season past. We have gone backwards. By a long way too.
Watson Out
Henderson Out
Walker Suspended
Buttf@cked by the sausage makers, roll on 2014!

We haven't been able to run out qtrs since we started the boundary game plan.
Trade kroozer end of the year, he is a liability.
A crap / soft effort like this against EFC two years ago effectively cost Ratten his job, MM isn't on any safer ground!
I can tolerate being beaten, I cannot tolerate teams giving up!

Pffffffffffft @ last goal
34 points .......... we are crap !!
Over-rated and the players believe the media hype.
Quoted for truth.
To be fair, the media don't rate let alone overrate us. Our club and supporters do in spades. Given our rich history and number of first round and no.1 picks, most oppo supporters I know think we are a laughing stock. We are seen as soft and I agree 150%,
It has turned into a percentage booster
This is Rnd 1 and we look like we do not want to be out there already!
MM is going to blame crape like the interchange cap, but we only used 80 of 120!
