Carlton Supporters Club

I want to say one thing and that is if you as a supporter don't think robo should be playing you are wrong.When us have a team of soft c...is like we have then you need someone that will get the pill even if there disposal is below average. I'd love to see Garlett,yarran, Murphy Gibbs Lucas and half the rest do what he does,watch last years final then judge him,I'd take another 3 or 4,of him any day.Yaz looked good last night but how many times did he get the hard tough ball,
Like it or not at least I'm not one of the sheep

What's the point of winning the ball when more often than you just give the ball back?

I couldn't work out why Robbo was getting the ball so much, well I could he goes hard for it, but when he does he has no opposition, from what I could tell Richmond was dropping a player 40m our goal side of a ball up, not putting pressure on Robbo who would win it and kick long, straight into the waiting players arms, who would then transfer play or run into the guts and boot it over the stoppages head and Richmond would have a running wave into goal.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mitch's attack on the player and the ball, I love how he protects his team mates, but until he makes the long kick 1 out of 10 possessions, instead 7 out of 10 possessions then he is a liability.

My rant on the game now that I've calmed down enough.

Richmond did not win the game, sure they got the four points but Carlton lost it. You cannot have that many easy shots on goal throughout the game for Richmond to say they won. Our woeful kicking lost it end of story.

Touhy needs to remember what got him a regular game, that's hard at the player giving no space all the time, stop worrying about a run off position, Martin is a dangerous forward and that match up could have really hurt us if Richmond used it.

Warnock, if a bum like Vickery gets in your face like that again the punch him in the face. Carlton players hang your head in shame for not getting around Warnock as well. Sure it was a dumb kick but if someone gets into a team mate like that then he gets taken care of. I don't think I've seen a do nothing waste of space like Vickery talk so much $hit. I loved Buckley pushing him back into the ground with a look of distaste. Dylans gets another game just for that.

Buckley, I don't know what was keeping him from playing last season but he needs to play now, pace, kicking and mongrel. Perfect ingredients.

Last season we let Vickery(AKA, The Fugu Kick Specialist) give McLean a face full of boot studs and we didn't react at all!

Vickery is a highly skilled footballer but piss weak because he picks soft targets.

Jarrad Waite (Carlton) - Staging - Reprimand

That was actually quite funny, is this the first reprimand for staging we've seen?

HAWTHORN vice-captain Jordan Lewis admits it was uncomfortable watching the replay of his 'dive' in the third quarter against Essendon on Friday night.

Lewis staged for a free kick after being pushed in the chest by Brendon Goddard, falling theatrically to the ground on the Hawks' defensive side of the wing.

To rub salt into the wound, Goddard played on from his mark and handballed forward while Lewis lay prone on the ground.

"I do remember it and once I saw it I didn't really like it, to be honest," he said of the incident on Monday.

"I suppose I probably hadn't had a kick up until then, so I thought if I can try and suck him in in any way I might get my first kick for the game.

"But I don't want to get a reputation for that."

Lewis has previously been on the receiving end of a stiff penalty because of staging.

The Hawks midfielder was suspended for one match in 2011 after then Essendon player Angus Monfries feigned contact from a head-butt to try to win a free kick in front of goal.

Essendon's Leroy Jetta copped a public hammering when he became the first AFL player charged for staging for a free kick in a match against Richmond in 2012.

Jetta received a written reprimand from the match review panel for that incident. Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley has also received a reprimand for staging.

A written reprimand is the first warning for players charged with staging, with financial sanctions the next step.

Jetta also got it. Not sure if anyone else has.  So does that mean Waite's a cheat then?

I don't see why he needs to test the mrp every year. Especially against Richmond.

Maybe his father got him all revved up about the tigers as a young tracker.
