It has started and we kicked the 1st goal! Matthew Watson: his 8 senior goal in 22 games.
They've had a lot of the ball, but we kicked straight!
2nd goal to Blaine Boekhorst. GWS are kicking at 46 %. Sounds like us.
21 minutes in and Kreuzer is off with the blood rule.
We are still in front. Somehow I don't think we read the script again.
Treloar goals for GWS.
Downie, the GWS ruckman, has 8 taps so far, of which 4 have been 'too advantage'. Kreuzer can play but he really misses out in the taps. Now 11 taps to 3.
Goal to Griffin. Score are level at 2 - 3 - 15 a piece.
Quarter time:
Carlton 2 - 4 - 16
GWS 2 - 3 - 15
Kreuzer off for a 2nd time with the blood rule.
Downie has ruled the ruck and got possessions around the ground. Kreuzer has 1 possession. They have had plenty of the ball but have been very ineffective in their kicking. We've been a bit better. We may have lost the rucks, but clearances are close. Any guesses as to who is getting them for us?
Jamo playing well. he has 6 possessions: Cameron has 0. 6 is our best and plenty have 6 possessions. About 6 of the GWS guys have 7 or more.
Not the classiest of games and not many goals.
Carlton 2 - 5 - 17
GWS 2 - 4 - 16
Tom Bell just missed.
They are 30 possessions ahead after 6 minutes of the 2nd quarter. They have 5 tackles in the forward 50, while we have 0. And yet we remain in front.
afl.com.au gives some very nice stats sometimes, but they also use the stats to show that nothing much is happening. far too many many stats posts and not enough scores.
They kicked another 2 points to lead, and we are now 42 possessions behind.
Ellard off injured. No idea what. Walsh is into the game. Mind you, Ellard had only a couple of possessions.
Carlton 2 - 6 - 18
GWS 3 - 7 - 25
What else can I say?
Re Ellard
Copped a knock Crash...they're doing the concussion stuff on him.
It's crowded in here today. :D
Cripps lining up ....and misses.
Now Everitt lining up....and kicks it
Copped a knock Crash...they're doing the concussion stuff on him.
Thanks, Lods. I'm just glad there is someone else around.
Goal to Everitt! We lead by 1 point.
Cripps has 12 possessions at 92 %, including 7 contested and 3 clearances. Make that 13: 4 kicks and 9 handballs.
I'm going back to the telly now.
I hope your recovery is going well ;)

A lot less pain than I thought. But my typinf is still scrambled.
Tommy Bell! We go ahead by a goal. Wish I had seen it.

Good to hear Crash.
That Boekhurst certainly has a bit of silk.

It's still better than mine "you're recovery" instead of "your recovery" :-[
Yazz - as half arsed as he's been all season.
That Boekhurst certainly has a bit of silk.
Yep
He's having a good game
We like kicking points:
Carlton 4 - 9 - 33
GWS 4 - 7 - 31
Close match, even with half a dozen guys who have barely touched it.
We had 15 minutes of dominance for 2 goals 4 behinds.
They had 2.5 minutes, for 2 goals and 1 behind.
Half time and we trail by 5 points.
Carlton 4 - 9 - 33
GWS 5 - 8 - 38
We are being pounded in possessions and tackles. We have almost caught up in the ruck, as Wood had a better quarter. Kreuzer has done nothing so far, except go off with the blood rule twice. Their taps have been much more effective, but we lead clearances. Cripps must be playing well. Jamo has kept Cameron scoreless. Walsh hasn't had a touch yet, but Bell, Curnow and Cripps have all had 14. We have 8 players with 4 possessions or less.
Poor old Slug concussed. Doesn't look too good.
That Boekhurst certainly has a bit of silk.
My man Boeky!
Yeah!
My man Boeky!
Yeah!
Hey I clearly claimed him first! :P
Gone off Watson carrots?
Gone off Watson carrots?
I missed the first half just got home, has he done well?

Kicked a good goal, but hasn't had much of the ball. We don't get it in there very often, but we score more efficiently than they have so far.
Goal to Cameron. Jamo has killed him so far, but he has had 2 kicks in the last couple of minutes.
Ellard officially ruled out with concussion. This may be his last game.
Here comes the avalanche.
W few guys will be playing there last game this week or next , with that in mind you would think there would be a real desperation with the squad, but sadly not the case.
Ellard not looking good at all
Geez nice pick up at the feet and dish off by Watto.
Really liking walker playing up forward , is really giving them a target. Buckley has shown dash, but delivery lets him down
Nicely done Bucks. Our midfield getting flogged.
Goal to Walker, Our 1st for the quarter. They had kicked the last 4, so we needed something.
We have a lot of players who haven't done much. We really need them to stand up.
7 guys have 5 possessions or less: Walker, Kreuzer, Walsh (who has none yet), Yarran, Watson, Menzel and Ellard (who is off).
They are killing us for possessions: 50 the difference. We are 20 inside 50's down,
Cameron just got his 2nd.
Finding targets at will , lack of defensive pressure from our mid field. Cripps has been tagged heavily this qtr , know one stepping up
My wife is kicking me off: back later.
Might be a good move Crash , getting ugly, lack of pressure all round
Let's be honest. We needed to lose this one and we are.
I would officially like to welcome at number 2 draft pick, Weiterling.
Those who think kruezer is a star please explain why?
Let's be honest. We needed to lose this one and we are.
Why ? So we can drag more high draft picks into our loser culture ?
Great pressure Boeky!!
Why ? So we can drag more high draft picks into our loser culture ?
Ye of little faith.
Shame >:D
Should have played 21, Yarran not interested, now hurt.
Very sad to see Yaz going around like this, will be sadder still if next year he is gone and burns ....
save for cripps, never seen a pile of excrement that big on the footy ground.
wonder what bolton is thinking from the stands.
One thing is for sure, these players dont give a fugg about their playing careers
Not much desperation being shown by some. You would think some would want to impress.
How about that body language from Yarran?
This is the worst carlton team ive seen
Richmond would be in his ear saying the worse you play the easier it will be for us to get you.
Might be a few who don't have careers after this /next week. Camera showing Yaz sitting back not a care in the world, looking like no interest at all, couldn't give a crap look on his face
probably prefers to be a randwick
Roos spoke about the Melbourne players being so scarred by years of losing that by now they just expect it, or words to that effect. They don't know how to win, and as a result they see little point in producing sustained effort. The same applies to our players.
They should all read The Myth Of Sisyphus by Camus. Judd is a big fan I believe.
probably prefers to be a randwick
Might have an ear piece in , has show such talent, and we couldn't keep him on track, might come back to burn us yet again
Would love to be able to read Bolts' mind now , might have the red pen out big time
why do we get Watson and Lloyd commentating? honestly they were probably naked at the end as a result, let em do the scum games and maybe we wont be subjected to their bias in future
Would love to be able to read Bolts' mind now , might have the red pen out big time
Not all doom and gloom. We had many players out.
