With all of our players available, I would expect us to win this. However, we still have a lot of players unavailable. However, we did get 2 important players back: H and Charlie.
I'm still not confident, but I do feel better than I would have felt without them.
Anyone else watching with heart in mouth?
Dow showing some composure atm.
A goal a minute.
Going to be 120 goals kicked tonight!
Time to put Jones on King?

Yep. Problem is Membrey is a bad match up for him too.
King with 3. Defense needs organising
Great run of play featuring the youngsters 👏

Gotta do it now. Membrey hasn't been targetted yet. King has 3.
Jack Martin not fit...can't chase, gives up
Jack Martin not fit...can't chase, gives up
Hasn't been fit for 2 months
Jones on King now, good spoil on the wing. Keep it this way
Welcome back Charlie
Welcome back Charlie!
As BT would say.
WOWEE
Footy gods sorted out that dodgy free.
Welcome back Charlie!
As BT would say.
WOWEE
Not about a Carlton player!
Lead the tackle count 25-17.
Honey looks good , needs to clean up his kicking skills though.
Gezz we cop it rough from the umps. Where has Honey been all season!??!
Quiet start from Walshy. Kennedy, Fisher, Dow have started well. Really enjoying witnessing Dow's progress.
Need to sort out the holding infringements D50

They do seem to love King. Not sure what Crippa needs to do to earn a free. Steele was literally tackling him before the first ball was bounced for the game
Our defenders tackling - hooray
DeKonig injured?
DeKonig injured?
....and there goes the ball game!
F***!
DeKonig R chest?
DeKonig R chest?
I think its ribs.
He's been off for so long that i reckon he is done.
As a random backup ruck option......Williamson.
Good leap, awkward type, doesn't mind contact, not needed elsewhere....
Honey unselfish.
Playing a good game.
Honey the goal assist apprentice.
Hope he gets one himself

Could've learned that under Eddie Betts....the all time goal assists record holder!
Lazy Newnes turover
Silvagni can ruck all night. Tireless worker aka Kreuz.

Yep. The Master
O'Brien Harry combo. Wasn't expecting to see that.
Murphy hasn't warmed up yet. ??
Holy smoke. O'Brien Harry combo again 👏👏
O'Brien Harry combo. Wasn't expecting to see that.
Deja vu
Murphy hasn't warmed up yet. ??
Looks happy to be there.
Straight kicking for a welcome change
Murphy warming up
Cheap goal..disappointing
Why wasn't that a free for Fisher!
Getting nothing from the umps.
Think its 14-7 their way for frees.
47 tackles before halftime. A new record?

Williamson!!!!

Would have to be. Did we have that for the match last week?
Williamson!!!!
Who'd have thought we'd see that?
Good onya Willo
5 goals to 2 in a quarter where Silvagni was the only ruck.
We've done REALLY well.......but the dam walls could break at anytime. Not out of this one by a long shot.
Great coaching from Teague “H, kick a few”. “Everyone, kick straight”.
Some games it looks like we just can't miss.
3 very nice passes into F50 by LOB. Nice work.
As a general comment, Its a real treat watching two elite KPF ply their craft.
Would have to be. Did we have that for the match last week?
44 for the game!!
Tonight, 52 at halftime.
Hard to fathom that we have only 7 (v 14) frees with that tackle count.
We're going to win this, and well
Great coaching from Teague “H, kick a few”. “Everyone, kick straight”.
If only it were that simple 😁
Been enjoyable, very low physicality game and some nice skills on display.
Jack has been great vs the odds and even LOB has drilled some nice passes.
Lot of players just strolling about from both teams, like Dow and Kennedys game but my fav is Josh Honey... Very creative and needs more senior footy as he is a real player.

Question is why has he been in the reserves all year???

Its funny how easy it is when you have key forwards!
I've been banging on about it for a while now, it doesn't matter how good of a coach you are, if your players are on the injury list (and your structure is up $h!t creek as a result) you are screwed.
Once i saw the teams, i said we'd win*
Once i saw the teams against North...i said we were screwed.
*i said we'd win, IF our spine stayed fit....TDK going down hurts us....and it will bite us in the 2nd half. We need to try and hold on because they will come for us!

Coincidence?
Give LOB time and he's ok.
Put pressure on him and he does a great impersonation of someone wearing an invisibility cloak.
How much has Dow improved? I have been a big critic but wow. Keep it up kid.
That was too good a half. Almost don't want the 2nd half to start.....lol.
5 for Harry
Worst. Review. Ever.
Well and truly over ... got 'em
And Charlie got through one half of AFL footy without a hitch. One hopes tonight is our night.
Well and truly over ... got 'em
Nope. SOS will tire. They will come back.
Dow with one 👏
Great reward young fella
Sack Teague!
oh wait, that was last week. :-[
Nope. SOS will tire. They will come back.
NO, they won't. Just admit it
Sweet - Honey
13.1
3 weeks ago
1.13 vs cats
Our pressure all over the ground is AFL like. Albeit not rewarded
How many times can dtb go unrewarded ffs
Game has turned since Jones went onto King.
Overused it
starting to struggle
H hurt?
Down goes Harry. :o
Weitering just told to go into the ruck from the boundary.
Great spoil Newy
Need to move it fwd
At long last htb👏👏👏
play charlie out of the goal square now
65 tackles before 3q time. New record?
43 points at 3/4 time what do we win by?
I'm pretty sure I heard Wayne Carey use the words "pressure" and "Carlton" in the same sentence during the 3rd. No, really.
Carey reasonably positive about us, Bartell not so much.

Really. Who'd have thought
If Jack gets 30 touches each week, playing in the ruck, can he win a brown,ow?
But, seriously, the most positive thing about that q was the 10mins when saints stood up, and we weathered it, and didn’t drop our bundle
Carey reasonably positive about us, Bartell not so much.
Bartell said we are about where we should be....questions our defensive structure...and saints are only there because of THEIR injuries. :o
Carey said he had us in his top 8 at the start of the year and we have underperformed.

Carey's usually fair. Bartell and BT antiblue

Was that just the weakest free kick given for the night?
Feeling sorry for the saints??

Easy answer - every time you are wearing red, white and black. Drop it in a blue jumper and you are gone

What a joke that free was, zero contact..

Why would it be different to the rest of the night? (Aside from about 5mins in the 3rd, when we actually got a few)

They evened it up a bit at the start of this quarter.....but that one was the worst of the night
Kent is a... see his name..
Bartel talking about how the saints would go if they had both Ryder and Marshall playing.
Clearly doesn't realise we are playing without a ruck....and have done so on a few occasions this year. Haven't had 2 rucks available all year.
I was about to say - watch the commentators get on the saints if they kick a couple. But didn’t, as I thought it was a stupid comment. But, then BT.......
Poor last 15 min but the game was won.

Nice last 20 sec.
Very convincing win
43 points at 3/4 time what do we win by?
I was going to say 30 points, but didn't want to be 'negative'.
1 point off.
I knew they'd come back in the last.....despite capcom suggesting otherwise.
80 tackles. New record?
Poor last 15 min but the game was won.
Junk time...
Won 4 out of the last 6, played well enough against Geelong, goal kicking lost it or at least stopped it being a cliff hanger, just the absolute shocker against North.
Happy with LOB’s game. I had written him off but the young fella played a decent game. 20 touches @80% efficiency 4 goals assists.

Of course you did ... ::)

Go back and look in the pre-game. I said we would win. Ask around and you'll see i'm more positive than most on these boards.
I've also been pretty bang on with our wins/losses this year.
You implying i was negative for even suggesting we hadn't sewn up the game and that saints would roll over is opposite to everything else i've said.
Plenty of others fit the picture you are painting, but not me

Better do it for 3 more weeks if he wants a spot on the list next year.
