Carlton Supporters Club

I think the way it was umpired was fine, I think the way most players are dealing with it is fine, there will always be the odd infringement.

Personally, if I was coach I'd be asking Coniglio why he spent moments wasting time when he could have been 5m or 10m down the ground setting up for the kick out! This in my opinion is why he remains a so so footballer.

His coach defended him in a presser saying that he is the most respectful player in the league and the infringement was wrong. So much for coaches not commenting on umpiring decisions.

The Giants are also not happy with some of the blocking and holding on Toby Green so hopefully we don't get penalised too much on Friday.

Imagine if Durdin HAD kicked the goal, all clear, dissent, the kick in the square...and two goals waved instead of 1 goal / 1 point. Just lucky it was against the Giants who have minimal fans and relatively no presence on social media! Would have been much more fun if it was Essendon!!!

Imagine we got penalised against the Bombers and it was Sam Docherty who asked the question which cost us the game. Then the AFL and Essendon supporters were smearing him calling him a serial whinger.
Imagine this place, Imagine our club's response, Imagine the next time we played them.

The AFL are just lucky the Giants have no fans.

The problem with that scenario is that Docherty isn't a serial dissenter and Vossy would have his guts for garters if he gave away a goal like that.

The reason Coniglio's venomous dissent is still newsworthy is that most commentators and at least 75% of football supporters hate it when we win.

Yep
As if we're going to hear anything other than'GWS wuz robbed" from opposition supporters.

It's hard to know how we would have felt had the shoe was on the other foot.
Right now, a couple of days later, I'm thinking some of us would probably have been angry with the player, but that's not in the emotion of the moment.
At the time it may very well have been anger at the umpire.

What I do know is that if a Carlton player is pinged for dissent in the next game he won't get much sympathy.
They're all on notice.
