Hope we thrash this mob!
Mr 800k with a ruck like tap down the throat of Gibbons in general play results in a quick goal.
Would largely go unnoticed, doesn't go on a stat sheet, but without McGovern, that goal never happened.
Thank you, Gibbo! Good to see us kick the first.
Kennedy takes a grab inside 50, and converts.
2 goals to zip
Could chain of handballs and kicks. Setterfields brilliant kick broke it open. Martins inside 50 went to only where you could get it.
My boy Newnes kicks his goal for the day.
Cunners gets a gift
Blues by 3 goals.
Blues have been dominating, playing attacking footy.
If Kangas have got it, they've had nothing up forward to kick too and our defence has held up well.
To show you how good we are going, Casboult got a free kick in a marking cotest!
....and he kicked the goal from outside 50!
Setters is starting to look the goods have liked his game the past couple of weeks
Marc Pittonet has double his disposal tally from last week in 1 quarter.
Has 6 touches so far, on ground leader has 7.
He also has 3 clearances which is leading the other 43 players out there.
Setters is starting to look the goods have liked his game the past couple of weeks
Same.
Samo, Jack, and Setters foot skills are on song today
Keep up the pressure boys
Go Blues.
Kennedy: best quarter of football for the year. Making great position and looking fit, with an extra yard of pace. Progressing nicely.
even the commentators are talking us up how times have changed
Some people said Kangas have loved to go the push and shove to dominate us in the past and would try again.
Anderson picked on Cripps....not who i would've tried...and despite Cripps getting a ripped jumper, we help up to the physicality well.
Another goal to Kennedy after a 50m penalty and we are dominating.
Kangas got no answers. They cannot beat up on us anymore.
This is a different Carlton side in 2020. One we haven't seen for a long time.
I’m getting a little worried...
I’m getting a little worried...
Even the bounce is going their way now. Got 3 in a row.
I’m getting a little worried...
same i dont like the Moore selection
I’m getting a little worried...
Yep. Me too.
Since they roughed us up we have fallen apart.
spud mcgovern again!!!
Yep. Me too.
Since they roughed us up we have fallen apart.
They've had a few free kicks and that lucky bounce.
We haven't been able to get our hands on the ball.
If we had it and were turning it over, thats one thing.
....but we can't even get our hands on it.
See.
Once we get the ball, we do well with it.
Another good team goal finished by Walsh.
Gee Govs doing well
I’m getting a little worried...
you should be
were stuffing around with it we still make too many bad decisions with the ball!
we should be thrashing this mob
Gee Govs doing well
Give him a break. That happens 100 times a game and its pay on. Now, he gets penalised. It was there....but so are 99 others that dont get paid.
Omg Newnes is rubbish.
Playing 2 men down with Moore as well.
HTB has now become a raffle
Nth have gone the rough stuff and we are trailing our opponents to the ball. Got to get Docherty off Pittard.. would try Williamson.
Moore is too raw vs Tarrant who is a quality player.
Cripps needs to smash Anderson and make statement..
Another very iffy free against Setters for holding it.
I wish these umps would be consistent with that bloody rule
Gov takes a grab inside 50 and gets taken off him because Martin went for mark of the year.
Its not the Govs day.
Give him a break. That happens 100 times a game and its pay on. Now, he gets penalised. It was there....but so are 99 others that dont get paid.
Give him a break. You serious. The bloke is on $700k a year.
He needs to pull his finger out and become the player we all thoughts he would be.
I like Jack Martin but if you need to use your hands to take a speccie then it might not be your thing.
Walsh gives away a free for standing up for himself. Kangas bloke should get a fine for the head forearm to the head unprovoked behind the play.
Gov takes a grab inside 50 and gets taken off him because Martin went for mark of the year.
Its not the Govs day. its never his day whats he given us in the past 2 season
Give him a break. That happens 100 times a game and its pay on. Now, he gets penalised. It was there....but so are 99 others that dont get paid.
No
Gee costly turnovers in that q.
Need to tidy up disposal.
Give him a break. You serious. The bloke is on $700k a year.
He needs to pull his finger out and become the player we all thoughts he would be.
So HIS problem is he doesn't live up to YOUR expectations?
Perhaps he is not the issue?
He is responsible for the first goal.
He would've had the last if not for Martin taking it away.
He had a free against him just before that that gets played once in 100 tackles.
Watch him without the ball.
He blocks, he shephards he makes space for teammates.
He is not having a great game sure, but he is not doing a fev and giving up, he is still doing the little things to try and work himself into the game.
Not much from Betts. Nothing from Moore. Not much from Jones. Not much from a lot of others. There is plenty of improvement available.
Gov takes a grab inside 50 and gets taken off him because Martin went for mark of the year.
Its not the Govs day.
He's an embarrassment now.

Kruddler would u say McGovern has been worth the investment ? both money wise and what we gave up to get him?
So many of our players don’t man the hell up! Why!!
Too many players missing, it’s like as soon as North got physical we yet again seem to capitulate.
The free against Walsh was a load of crap, and Setters HTB was rubbish - commentators said Borth were rewarded for a good tackle - but we did the same their end and nothing.
McGs lazy chase of the ball, then overrun it is not good enough.
Newnes and Willos dinky kicks that resulted in a north goal, not good enough.
Eddies push in the back for no reason!
Another qtr like that we will lose. We are not locking it in the fwd line. Cripps is playing angry and being beaten, just win the footy and dish it off quick. Martin is playing the dumbest game for the club so far. Gov as I said is an embarrassment. Moore is out of his depth. SPS is the laziest footballer I have ever seen. Is Betts out there?
Pitto is doing ok v Goldy.
Losing against a VFL side at best will hurt.
We have given them a sniff after a reasonable start. This is all a team like Norf needs. Playing like cr@p. Just cr@p. Moore selection has been a disaster. Get him off, play anyone else and rotate Levi into the ruck with Pitt. Backline is super sloppy. Forward line is falling over itself and fumbling likes it pouring with rain. A lot of quiet players. I'm hoping that they improve. Not sure if Teague ever uses the spray but today might be a good time.
Mcgovern started well with a goal assist to Gibbons but needs good delivery and system. Nth have turned the game into a messy scrap
and we have lost method so the Gov is going to have to scrap harder and get a bit of spice in his game. Not a day to be playing fancy footy.. Contest well and be direct ie Newnes

Enough with the excuses.
He took the big coin so he is open to criticism. He has one effective disposal till half time. One!!!
It’s great he is trying but time to deliver what your being paid for. Or save the $700k and play a little leaguer. He will try as well.
Kruddler would u say McGovern has been worth the investment ? both money wise and what we gave up to get him?
You might remember that i was always in Daisy Thomas corner since his recruitment.
That took years to pay off, but it did. Now you get people pining for Daisy.
Gov will be similar. Long term he will be a great pickup, it looks dodgy now, but its just a matter of time.
3 weeks ago i had to defend Harry because people were wanting to trade him out. I showed he was ahead of JK at the same stage of their career. Since then he has dominated and made a few people look silly.
Gov will do that, might not be today, or potentially this year, but don't right him off.
FWIW, he's only had 2 touches in the first half
but....
2 score involvements
1 goal assist
2 tackles inside 50
1 inside 50 entry
1 intercept
3 contested possessions
So he has still contributed despite barely touching it.
Levi needs to be the back up Ruckman in the second half
Enough with the excuses.

twice what eddie betts is had.
If you want to go $ per possession, he's ahead of Eddie.
Early advantage squandered and Nth right back in it. Cripps being held and we are no longer dominating the clearances.

Ones 25, ones 40, the 40 year old has won more games of his own boot than Gov has had hot dinners. Back in the old days, he would have been thrown a robe, told to shower and watch from the bench.
Early advantage squandered and Nth right back in it. Cripps being held and we are no longer dominating the clearances.
at 1/4 time we were winning the clearances 9 - 3. Cripps had 0.
We now lead the clearances 22 - 10. Cripps has 1.
Not sure on either of those counts

there have also been at least 2 errors that have cost us as well you forgot to mention them , i hope your right and in the future we can look back and say we judged him harshly i have my doubts though, if Charlie Curnow can ever get on the park where does that leave McGovern???
Ones 25, ones 40, the 40 year old has won more games of his own boot than Gov has had hot dinners.

They are both crap today
What is the deal with Cripps this year?

I tend to judge from watching the game not looking at numbers, apart from maybe the scoreboard. We killed them in Q1, not so much in Q2. They are creating more out of the centre than we are now.
What is the deal with Cripps this year?
Watched in the warm up.
He looks injured.
Doing the run through and it looked like he was running backwards people were zooming past him so much.
What was the name of that 2nds player we traded ?
didnt we give up pick 13 as part of that deal?
didnt we give up pick 13 as part of that deal?
Check back a page. i posted the full trade.
Why wasnt that holding against goldstein?
Took like 7 steps, bumped and tackled by 3 carlton players.
Ball up.
He had prior. Didn;t dispose = holding the ball.....unless we are the tackling team ::)
My boy Newnes loves a goal. He's good for a goal a game on average. Thats his 2nd.
Fair effort from Newnes on the much taller McKay
My boy Newnes loves a goal. He's good for a goal a game on average. Thats his 2nd.
i do like what he brings to the team, he is another one along with setters who gets better each week
Why was THAT paid holding the ball? No Prior!.....but carlton player had the ball, so free kick paid. ::)
Gov on the bench with the tracksuit on.
Must be an injury of sorts.
Play of the game. Jack Martin. Until the kick 😣
whats happend to SPS?? he just looks out of sorts??
Gov on the bench with the tracksuit on.

It’s couldn’t be for a rest. You have to do something to get tired.
Got all the play, but can't dominate on the scoreboard.
1.4 to 0.0 this quarter.
Need to put the foot on the throat and kick it through the big ones.
No mark paid for Plowman?
What the hell is wrong with the umps? Colour blindness? Can't see the navy blue??
Casboult tackle. No effort to try and get the ball out......but ball up because its against carlton.
Then they get a free kick and clear it.
F*** me.
SPS can get farked
there does seem to be 2 sets of rules one for us and the easy ones for them
Plowman sold into trouble....no benefit there. Holding the ball against carlton. ::)
Typical plowman - when the pressure is on he will find a way to cough it up.

F*** off, Willo f***** it up.....twice.
Plowman had 3 to beat.....not including the umpire!
Fwd line entry and general fwd play is shambolic
studs up into cripps. Obvious pain.
Doesn't matter....play on
You can get reported for that! We can't even get a free kick
You f**k off.
Mr excuses.
You would argue with god.
Fwd line entry and general fwd play is shambolic
Missing Gov. ;)
You f**k off.
Mr excuses.

No i wouldn't.
I don't argue with fictional characters.
Missing Gov. ;) hahahaha but its actually the truth spud may not get near it but he does put the pressure on
@Smurfy Yep. Said as much last week.
Horrible game. 2 bottom sides.
Kicking into 50 disgusting.
Just embarassing.
50-50 (at best) free kick opportunity in front of Norths goal......umpire couldn't blow the whistle fast enough.
This is about the 3rd/4th week in a row that we have been screwed by the men in yellow.
Doing everything we can to lose this.
So typical of us. The minute you think we are a better team we remind the world we are still crap.
....and another one....against cripps that shouldn't have been paid.
Ump reverses it on the siren to take the goal opportunity off the Kangas. We got one back!
we need to come out this week and say we get screwed over with the free kicks take the fine just call it for what its worth
Missing Gov. ;)
I would doubt it
Doing everything we can to lose this.
So typical of us. The minute you think we are a better team we remind the world we are still crap.
I feel your pain, i really do....but its at this moment that i'd like to remind you, and everyone, that we have led this game for the entire game so far. Yes, we could/should be 10 goals up....but we are NOT losing....yet.
We might still run away with it from here.
For a so called sure and easy win for us, it looks bad. I can imagine what can be said when we lose this game.
Say what you like about McGovern but our forwardlines a mess without him there
Played well q1, outplayed q2, wasteful and inaccurate q3.
We're about to see if we have the g & d to bring this home. Who will step up?
we need to come out this week and say we get screwed over with the free kicks take the fine just call it for what its worth
We need someone with some video editing skills to put together a package.
Both for ones they got paid, and ones we didn't. Ideally ones that occured within a minute of eachother. There would be some very damning evidence me thinks.
Doing everything we can to lose this.
So typical of us. The minute you think we are a better team we remind the world we are still crap.
I didnt. Having a bad run, Carlton come on down. Cant get a kick for weeks, Carlton come on down. We are serial offenders at giving teams a win when they are down on their luck. We have been Norths bitches for a long time, it will continue today just like we were Ports bitches again last week.
Geez this is ugly. Where’s our skilful team from
Q1 gone?
Why do our guys get two weeks in a row of a
Kick in the stomach with no repercussion to the offending team.
I am really angry about this game. We should be destroying them but instead making stupid lazy fcking errors
Say what you like about McGovern but our forwardlines a mess without him there
When you lose Harry and have Moore in his place....you are going to struggle.
When you take Gov out of it as well, you are f*****.
Our 3 tall forward line that has worked so well is now down to a 1.5 tall forward line and easy pickings for any team, especially those like North who would've struggled with the talls.
For a so called sure and easy win for us, it looks bad. I can imagine what can be said when we lose this game.
For Carlton there are NO easy wins
I don't what more we can do to hand them this game. Just diabolical at the moment. Always seems to happen when we play sides that are CR@P. Nothing has changed, UNLESS we come out and play like we did against the doggies in Q4.
Missing Charlie and Harry.. Tarrant and Walker too strong for Moore and Levi... Not sure why Murphy is down back, just can't defend in the air.
Cripps needs to take us home and lead the troops, just wilting under the Nth physical stuff. They smell blood and we need to rally and hit back and be strong at the contest.
North like wet weather footy.
We have struggled in the past, but seem to have improved.
Wet in the last will see how serious we are.
Gov, hammy.
Cripps down in the room.
Setterfields time to shine?
50-50 (at best) free kick opportunity in front of Norths goal......umpire couldn't blow the whistle fast enough.
This is about the 3rd/4th week in a row that we have been screwed by the men in yellow.
Yep it’s all the umpires fault.
Do you just ignore the fumbling, dumb decisions, lack of quality mids, sh1te kicking into the 50.
We are playing a depleted bottom team and still can’t get it done. umpires or not we are playing horribly.

someone anyone stand up for once show some farkin heart
Omg we are horrible.
Kicking in f50 is under 12 level.
FFS just try and find a target. It’s not rocket science.
FARK!!!!
Cannot but a goal
How easy do we let take it out of defence
just kicking and hoping carlton ffs
Murphy, terribly weak tackling attempt almost cost us a goal.
Cunners !!!!!!!!!
Alefarkenluia
Cunners steps up.
Who else?
Go Blues
Plowman took a mark in the goal square, yay
Thats how its done
Spanner must be liking this
Got out of jail in this one.
I suspect that will be Moore's one and only game.
Got out of jail in this one.
Makes up for last week sort of
We win. 4 goals after quarter time, but we win!
I suspect that will be Moore's one and only game.
Indeed. He isn't good enough, no matter how hard he works.
Very very ugly but again I'll take it.
We deserved to win, but it could have been a lot more.
Over to the post game thread, people. I've got a heart to get back under control!
