We are lucky enough to be on TV this week, so I hope we play decently.
Levi in defence
Clever goal by Williams in traffic
Nice snap SOS 3 goals to 1
And of course we cant go on with and they level it with 3 unanswered goals.
Make that 4 and they are in front. Groundhog Day.
red time gimme goal.
Four goal run... unbelievable. Zzzzzzzzzz
What is wrong with these stupid bastards.
How does it happen?
Week in, week out.
Lets face it, we fill our shorts against teams above us on the ladder.
we just dont defend ever
2 horrible minutes
10-15 excellent minutes
10 horrible minutes
And no whipping boy Murphy to blame.
Checked the score as I was out, 8-9. Great I thought. Checked again 7 minutes later 27-9! Amazing. Sit down in front of the tv and watch them within 5 minutes not leave their forward half and kick 4 straight.
Maybe I’ve jinxed them by watching!
The rate we give goals away in bursts we have to dominate 90% of the game just to have a chance.
Same old cr@p every week. Get a few goals in front, then go to sleep.
And yet again, too many passengers and stupid decision making.
Setterfield useless. Levi, looks like he's lost and doesn't know where he is. Fogarty done zero. Doc, disgraceful in not bending down and picking up the ball, or at least trying to do it. It's drizzling there, they are already slipping over, and he was no good thing to connect.
Again playing 2 men down with Pitt and Casboult.
Pit has no clue and is a liability and Casboult is just irrelevant.
And no whipping boy Murphy to blame.
...or Plowman
Such a typical Carlton dumb move to go in so tall with weather like this.
Yea thought the same with Doch, bend down and pick up the ball ffs
Free to Eddie goal
Free and fifty to Cripps aaaaaaaannnnd.....
goal
Goal to H from a beautiful lead.
Ok 3 straight lol
We have got a real good one in Stocker. Will only get better as time goes on provided he can stay injury free. probably, SOS's best effort at the draft.
now bloody well go one with it.
now bloody well go one with it.
They will until there are 5 minutes to go in the quarter.
Forward line looks bettter with the 2 Jacks in it
Cripps just dislocated a finger. Stupid from Newman
Weiters and Jones keystone cops smash into each other lol. This is about the time in the 1st where we fell asleep
Actually Buddy nudged JW into Jones
Can’t believe we are getting the umpiring v the AFL darlings, on their home deck (although a few cripps holds off the ball would be nice). Can’t last, surely
We have got a 205 centimetre forward up there and instead of kicking long to him at a ground which is small from goal to goal, they go for the stupid short passes
Can’t believe we are getting the umpiring v the AFL darlings, on their home deck (although a few cripps holds off the ball would be nice). Can’t last, surely It won't
Good honest arm wrestle at the moment.
Neither team is playing their best and it could go either way from here.
Hopefully we've had 'our lapse' for the game and can keep it pretty solid from here.
Harry looking good with his 3rd already.
Thankfully we score to break a run
has Weitering had a touch?
Now you know why geelong got rid of Fogarty.
has Weitering had a touch?
Hope he goes the whole game without one. Means they are not getting the ball in there enough. ;)
Speak of the devil. nice mark Jacob.
Now you know why geelong got rid of Fogarty.
Why are you so negative today?
You know we are winning right.
Buddy with a back ended falcon. :o
Thanks Fogarty. A whole body to tackle but had to grab him around the neck.
Missed 3 very gettable goals.
Why are you so negative today?
Because I can't cop unprofessional cr@p from blokes getting 300 grand a year.
You know we are winning right.
Need to keep this lead to half time. No junk time.
Could Ling barrack harder against us?
Cripps wowee. His value drops as the season goes on.
Here we go. 5 minutes to go in the quarter.
Chance after chance, nothing, they take it down, Saad as loose as a whore, Heeney mark, goal.
Could Ling barrack harder against us?
I thought it was in my head.
Crippa handball miss hurt us badly there
Chance after chance, nothing, they take it down, Saad as loose as a whore, Heeney mark, goal.
Saad is poor in the air. We really want him upfield
Cripps wowee. His value drops as the season goes on.
That was shocking what he did then. Turn your body around and kick the bloody thing. Not him. Always chooses a hand ball as his first option.
Need to keep this lead to half time. No junk time.
Hold my beer
I thought it was in my head.
The ling stuff wasn't, but that Cripps critique might be.
Think he's been almost at his best today. Much better than the first half of the year,
Jones got the brains of a flea. Will never ever learn.
Need to keep this lead to half time. No junk time.
Do I know my team?
I mute the sound after a Swans goal so I don't have to listen to that racket
The ling stuff wasn't, but that Cripps critique might be.
Think he's been almost at his best today. Much better than the first half of the year,
He has improved but he's not an A grade footballer anymore.
Cripps undisciplined. Just stupid play giving away needless frees. And he wants 30 million a year.
Cripps again.
Cripps stupid lazy possession again.
Cripps ability to turn the ball over in terrible positions is becoming a massive issue
FMD 1 pt lead
We got 10 minutes of reviewing from Ling after each free kick we got, Sydney have had a number that are iffy and no comment.
Also when the Sydney player marked but it’d been touched and Gibbo tackled him, ling said that there’s no way the syd player could’ve heard the umpires call - yet Gibbo heard it.
Just so biased and Not enjoyable to listen to.
FMD 1 pt lead
Forget about how the game has gone.
If that was offered to you before the game, you'd take it.
2nd half starts again. Don't let them score more than you in the second half and you win the game.
“Worked him under”. “Nudged him into the contest”. Why do we hear these comments the most v swans (used to be hawks as well)??? Any danger of the umpires calling it, or is tunnelling now legal?
Harsh criticism of Pitto IMO, I thought he's done quite well.
They make them so tough to follow at times. Just constant stress.
We stay of top to the 25 min mark then the goals roll.
We need more from Martin, Saad ordinary, Cripps getting the ball, but turning it over, making bad decisions and giving away frees and his execution is woeful, just doesn't have a football brain, Doc just going and that's about all, Setterfield barely visible, Gibbons runs around a lot and doesn't do much, Cottrel the same, he lacks polish, Fogarty can't kick more than 40metres and that's on a good day.
AND WALSH NEEDS TO BE MADE CAPTAIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Watch Richmond v Adelaide while half time is on. Looks like a thriller happening.
Gives me a chance to de-stress.
EDIT: Not any more.
Dermie just hit the nail on the head, we gotta isolate H more
Stocker is growing every week.
If we don’t move Jones off buddy they will win.
We dominate them for 75% of the game so far yet we have no buffer.
Opposition runs of goals are still a massive issue.
Watch Richmond v Adelaide while half time is on. Looks like a thriller happening.

Tiges are home unfortunately
Fogarty kicked his shot a little too softly, that's 1 easy goal gone begging. Then Harry twice a little fumbly and awkward near goals - there's 3 genuine chances for a goal, which would have been a great half time lead.
Swans obviously play the SCG better than anyone, but we need to take our chances.
Tiges are home unfortunately
Reiwoldt turned it around by himself in a couple minutes. 8pts difference to 22 just like that.
Wish we could do that.

We can, just the opposite. Gotta hand it to em, they work their asses off and dont fall asleep at the wheel.

Reiwoldt does it again.
Exactly, they lifted hugely when under the pump where as we just 5hit ourselves.
We're doing all the hard work and plenty right. Just need to make it count on the scoreboard,
Cripps goal after getting a free on our side of the centre circle and then 50 metres. I thought that the square was 40 m, so a 50 metre free uses 20 metres of that and then 30 metres past the line of the square. Cripps was given about 15 metres into the 50. Certainly he kicked the goal but the umpires were way out on the measuring,

Whatever almighty spray Teague gave them last week at half time, double it this week.
I want those 16 minutes qtrs back, thus eliminating getting scored against after the 25 min mark...lol.

Centre square is 50x50
Franklin and Heeney are the two danger men so far which means that four of our other guys are doing their job. Casboult has not been seen, but has his opponent??
2 tackles in a row that were high....ignored.
"perhaps a high tackle there"
PERHAPS?
Malthouse sprayed StK's fitness and preparation in the HS today, I reckon ours is ordinary also.
Centre square is 50x50
Well that makes it 25 m in.
I was just about to say, Papley hasn't dont a think, goal.
Malthouse sprayed StK's fitness and preparation in the HS today, I reckon ours is ordinary also.
At least we've got a long list of injuries as an excuse.
I was just about to say, Papley hasn't dont a think, goal.
Next time don't "I was about to say"...lol.
can they please never ever play Levi again. he's done. nice bloke, gave reasonable service, but it's over.
Casboult can’t hit a target 15 metres away. Disgusting.
can they please never ever play Levi again. he's done. nice bloke, gave reasonable service, but it's over.
Levi is the reason Weitering is getting all those intercept marks. He's allowing Weiters to play loose.
What is going on with Docherty? Just saw the third time where he has not gone in for the ball and waited for it and we’ve lost possession!
Casboult can’t hit a target 15 metres away. Disgusting.
There was zero pressure. Zero.
Our defence needs a fark ton load of work.
In the context of the game, for some reason I cant see us getting back into this.
Another one who is useless. Setterfield. Just does nothing. No effort, doesn't tackle, and plays as if he couldn't give a stuff.
Setterfield can ggf. Work rate of a sloth. Unaccountable. Trade bait.
Same old same old blues. Same players when the heat is on they are not up to it.
Levi is the reason Weitering is getting all those intercept marks. He's allowing Weiters to play loose.
Levi, is gone.
Our defence needs a fark ton load of work.
It needs a break from up the ground. The ball has been living there this quarter.
Our forwards have hypothermia down the other end,
Our defence needs a fark ton load of work.
And kicking. We won't be playing finals when we're ranked last for kicking efficiency.
Umpire calls play on - why isn’t it out of bounds?
Martin would want to pull the farken finger out and contribute.
Just shut up Ling. “Cripps is going fwd in those tackles”. He is getting slammed into the ground!!!
Gibbo with a hamstring?
Sub him out and bring in Murphy! Supersub!
Everyone listening to Ling now? I think he’s doing it intentionally to raz up the Carlton faithful
Just shut up Ling. “Cripps is going fwd in those tackles”. He is getting slammed into the ground!!!
"Oh, not a lot there"....in the ruck free kick.
"Slightest grab of the arm"
He's clearly holding his arm down, with 2 hands, trying to stop his jump at the ball.
Everyone listening to Ling now? I think he’s doing it intentionally to raz up the Carlton faithful
Then again with the dekonning free!!!
Go Levi you beauty O:-)
Another one who is useless. Setterfield. Just does nothing. No effort, doesn't tackle, and plays as if he couldn't give a stuff.
I’ve been saying that for years. Never ever attacks the contest.
Been watching Betts so called attempts at tackling today. very very ordinary.
Suppose we can't say we are not competitive with decent sides. If only we could take that next step.
Just can’t watch footy anymore. Ling an Co drive me nuts.
I used to listen to 3LO and watch....
Geez Ling is a annoying pr1ck.
That was disgraceful by Newman, but even worse from our blokes who didn't bother to give him a target to kick to.
Silvagni not held there.......twice?
Newman swung around in a 360 despite never having the ball.
Play on, play on, play on.....
We cant seem to get momentum like the other qtrs. No free to Newman?
Umpires have put away the whistle where Carlton are concerned. we got all our frees in the first half. Newman was literally thrown out of a pack before that goal was kicked and no free.
How many tackles without the footy is the record for a single passage of play?? Silvagni 3 times, then Newman. Williams earlier
Jones kept Buddy very quiet this term despite Dermie saying he had been worked out and needed to be moved off.
Great physicality by Cripps! Get into them.
They look asleep in the coaches box. Par for the course.
OK, red time.
No goals against please!
Silvagni not held there.......twice?
Newman swung around in a 360 despite never having the ball.
Play on, play on, play on.....
Ling was pretty funny then, said oh probably free kick to Newman but Sydney don’t care… hahaha yeah I’m sure, wanker
I think we will win this game.
Now we see what we are made of. 0-4 against top 8 sides, can we get one back on the ledger? Or regulation 4-5 goal loss?
Swans have fluffed a few close ones this year so lets hope that continues.
Just can’t watch footy anymore. Ling an Co drive me nuts.
I used to listen to 3LO and watch....
But then you will miss being told 15 times what geniuses the swans are for playing a few young blokes (cause no other team has ever done that), or 20 times about what a great influence don pyke has been
Considering all the negativity, we're only behind because of inaccuracy. And then only by 3.
We had the umpires on side for the most part.
Can't really complain too much.
Soj probably should have had a free on the wing was in the spirit of the contest really I guess.
Now we see what we are made of. 0-4 against top 8 sides, can we get one back on the ledger? Or regulation 4-5 goal loss?
Depends on how 1-eyed the umps want to be this quarter.
Blatant holds being missed, results in goals to them.
18 vs 18, we'll win.
18 vs 21.....we'll struggle.
Just can’t watch footy anymore. Ling an Co drive me nuts.
I used to listen to 3LO and watch....
I find the Fox guys and gals heaps better, Ch7 is unlistenable to.
I’m very interested to see the next 30mins. No more excuses no more next week.
It’s now blues or it’s another season gone. Simple as that.

Yep
We need the class of Murphy and Martin to shine through in this last quarter. Been missing for various reasons thus far.
We will lose this.
We have no idea how to stop them getting it out of our forward line after we kick a point. They do it too easily. we don't man up and make it difficult for them.
We have too many passengers, and that's why we can't win these tight games.
I won't go through the names again, you know who they are. and because we can't depend on them to put their bodies on the line, or make the right decisions, we can't win these games.
Carlton fwd pressure elite lol, end to end goal, game over.
4-5 goal loss as usual
Woeful play
Buddy will be on one leg from now on.
We need the class of Murphy and Martin to shine through in this last quarter. Been missing for various reasons thus far.
Yeah, Murphy has been done for three years, and martin is a fair weather footballer. When the pressure ison, he's a zero.
Find a man!
How many free sydney players were there then.
Watch the footage of the last goal.
Cripps was running with Kennedy and then refused to go as hard as he did into the 50 and was the reason he was all alone in that last play.
Not the play you want from your captain.
There ya go, this team is a joke.
Same old same old. Full of sh1t this club is.
Watch the footage of the last goal.

Agree, but Cripps has been enormous today. had 100 more metres gained than everybody else at 3/4 time. He's run himself into the ground.
How was that not a free for Owies tackle!
We are so utterly predictable to the opposition, so easy to play against. It's just laughable. If it wasn't so depressing.
I’m on the post game thread.. No Freaking idea...
Disposal efficiency 64 to 78.
Any other team would gobble up a 17 pt lead, not us.
Season over. What joke of a club we have become.
That Papley bloke would've been good in Navy Blue. :-[
All downhill since Murphy came on lol.
That Papley bloke would've been good in Navy Blue. :-[
Thought the same
All downhill since Murphy came on lol.
His class was evident before. Had 3 touches and sliced through defenders with each.
Also seems we’ve run out of legs again
In the words of Rex Hunt, it's OOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEERRR, and so should Teague's coaching career.
Just because we won a game, doesn't mean that the problems that we all see, don't exist.
This is a complete capitulation.
Forget finals. Play some of the young blokes like Honey and lets see what they can do.
Waiting for the coach to make some moves...” crickets”
Once again we are entertaining losers. Competitive but never winning. Week in, week out.
Yet gain, the swans get it out so easily after we kick a point.
It's not just them, it's every team we play against. We have got no system, no idea.
His class was evident before. Had 3 touches and sliced through defenders with each.
And they slice through him.
That Papley bloke would've been good in Navy Blue. :-[
Hang on I’m confused, I thought SOS did an amazing job and was too clever to get that deal done?
Just about over it.. 60 years of supporting is about to be blown away.
No skills, No leadership, No heart and IDEA.
Freaking disgrace....
We aall knew he'd miss that.
Starting to rack up the consecutive points when goals are needed.
Just about over it.. 60 years of supporting is about to be blown away.

Me 70 years
Only thing that is going to beat us today is 5hit lapses. We've had 3 big ones today.
Newman forgot he's playing for carlton
Me 70 years
Old bugger...lol.
Old bugger...lol.
Right on both counts
Season over!
What a pathetic excuse for a club we are.
I can remember when :) :) :)
All those who were rapt with SOS inability to get deals done - still happy watching Papely?
No heart, no spirit.
Players who refuse to dig in when needed
Defenders who dont know how to defend
Missed targets
We are elite in the above three, we are also elite and poor performance which results in coaches getting sacked.
$hit our pants. AGAIN.
All those who were rapt with SOS inability to get deals done - still happy watching Papely?
Wasn't coming unless they got Daniher.
Kicked ourselves out of it in the end.
Getting sick of 4 goal losses
Kicked ourselves out of it in the end.
They smashed us this quarter
No heart, no spirit.
And that's just the coaching staff.
Harry cost us by himself. We need more avenues to goal though. This has been very disappointing
Hang on I’m confused, I thought SOS did an amazing job and was too clever to get that deal done?
You get confused a lot.
Sometimes you get confused about what a good player is and what a hitout to advantage is. I could explain this, but it would just leave you more confused. Besides, i've gone into these ad nauseum before.
I can see LOB, Dow and SPS back against the Weagles..
That will stop the rot :P :-[ :-X
They smashed us this quarter
dont disagree but we didn't take our chances and its cost us. Jack Martin rushed back for indigenous round. He's nowhere near afl fit
Why Teague didn't play TDK in the ruck from the start of the last is just brain-dead coaching. He turned the game our way in the 3rd.
Newman out.
Levi out.
Cottrell out.
Gibbons out
Entertaining losers once again. Filled our jocks when it mattered.
We play alot of good football then disappear for patches quicker than Houdini. We have to dominate 90% of games just to have a chance.
It was the same with the women this season too. Mighty lapses where the opposition got big run ons.
Getting sick of 4 goal losses
It was only 3 1/3 goals
Another year down the drain.
We don't have the players. it's as simple as that. And our so called good players, don't contribute enough.
Cripps got a lot of the ball, but the mistakes he makes negate the good work. Martin, nothing. Saad ordinary. Williams, in and out. Docherty, on the verge of being gone because the two reco's are catching up to him. Mackay, second efforts today were terrible because he's got a bad shoulder and doesn't want to aggravate it.
Silvagni and walsh don't stop trying. Neither does Curnow.
then the passengers, Setters, Fogarty, Gibbons, Owies, Cottrel, just not up to top level standard and except for maybe, and it's a big maybe, Cottrel, never will be. Newman is just a footballer, Newnes, didn't play today, but not up to top standard, the list is endless.
So we are stuffed for the next few years unless we can get 5 top class players into the joint.
If not, I'll probably never see them make the 8 agin let alone win a flag.

If we could stop these lapses too, where sides get a run on, we'd do alot better too. We be in the 8. We can't take the step from very competitive to winners when it matters.
3 big lapses today. Late in the first, late in the 2nd and the start of the last. Other than that we played decent footy. It's just continues to happen, men and women. Issue that pervades the club.
If not, I'll probably never see them make the 8 agin let alone win a flag.
Well, if you can make it to a telegram from the Queen, you might see one, but your previous post tells me you are pretty close though. So not sure...haha.
Well....i think thats all of them. You've bagged out all 23 players today. New record!
Jesus Kruddler. Are the official Carlton apologist?
If you refuse to acknowledge the crapness at all levels of the club, that's fine. But let others comment on what they see and to be honest what most see, bar you. crap skills, crap game plan and crap coaching.
The same crap week after week... It ain't no fluke...
Well, if you can make it to a telegram from the Queen, you might see one, but your previous post tells me you are pretty close though. So not sure...haha.
If I make it I'll get a telegram before Bignic, so depression is setting in again.

At near 64 I'm starting to feel young...lol.
Mods, can you lock this in game thread ?
We must've lost. Spanner is here gloating.
We lost as usual so laj must be here excusing and making lame statements like this little classic:
"If we had won more quarters and and not allowed so many 4 goal run ons we would be in the eight."
Thanks laj, you're a genius. Are you sidelining as a mathematician as well?
