Deags - doesn't quite work that way re: Levi miss.  We will never know what would have happened.  What if Port kicked the first of there easy misses late in the last?  We would have had more time to be attacking and get the goal back - or they might have kicked another.  Who knows

The first 4 minutes approx of Access All Areas gives a brief report of the game.

We did ourselves no favors in the last five minutes. Having watched the replay.

1. Does anyone have any idea the the free kick against Harry was for in the last??!

2. The blocking by Port for Dixon was a master class, David King and the other idiots don't even mention this in their Dixon diatribe. Clubs get away with this, clearly something we should be investing more time in.e

Go Baggers!

Dal Santo mentioned an illegal block but then said he was okay with it not being paid.

They all pander to the umpires as its a difficult job.  Dunstall was calling it out a bit more though.  particularly the ones that could go either way.

That was my point.
We cant say Port Missed goals therefore they should have won easily. It doesnt work that way. Same as we cant say what about Levi.

Levis was the good old 12 point turnaround though.  He hit the post, they took the kick in, and went down the other end and scored within a minute. 

Instead of us extending a lead out to what would have been our biggest lead of the day, that Port goal I think brought the margin back to one point, or even put port in front.

When games are balanced on a knife edge like that, each one mistake is amplified.  When the game is literally one kick in it, each other mistake is also amplified.

I.e. Walsh takes mark of the year, plays on too quick and we get pinged holding the ball off that handpass to David Cunningham (from memory).  They scored in the next passage of play.

Its things like that can make the difference between a 2 goal margin and a 4 goal margin, and in tight contests they cost you wins.

we will learn from it.  No one person is at fault, they are just pivotal moments which result in massive momentum swings.  Confidence builders, pressure builders, or vice versa.

Free kick to Dixon.
Jones clearly has grabbed him by the arm. :o

What about the high contact from Dixon?

When do we play Hawthorn again? Answer is simple - employ these crapty tactics against thuggo Clarko so that he complains to the AFL and they act. Do the same with a ‘third man in’ at every tackle and the League will start paying it for what it is - holding the man to the original tackler.

Problem is, Carlton players have not mastered the art of subtlety, or know when to ham it up - that’s why so many 50/50 decisions go against us. Jones should have thrown his arms out and collapsed like a ton of bricks when he was blocked yesterday (even then, umps would call “play on” because it’s Carlton).

I do hope the Umpires look at this. This isn't a strength battle, it is not reasonable.

I remember that one clearly. Dal Santo is a Carlton hating hypocrite who has never even heard of ‘impartiality’ .

great effort BUT same old story our game plan is to basic once again kicking to a contest ,turnover ball comes back to opposition forwardline how MANY times over the years have we watched this happen. We need players that can RUN and CARRY been our downfall we are to slow especially from defence.

Jones is a bit too nice, and under the current rules and video scrutiny there is no really effective way for players to sort this out like the old days.

In the 90s Dixon would limp off with some rib and kidney damage if he kept holding on like that, not necessarily from Jones but perhaps an ally like Plowman or Doc but again they are too nice, something I haven't seen happen since Hodge was a lad!

Really getting this crap sorted is a job for Pittonet if he's going to be our enforcer, nothing like a ruck's knee into your opponents back to help you out!
