I didn't see an in game thread. Mods please delete if I missed it.
9 inside 50s to nil
Look disinterested.
Looks like the seniors have used the same rev up song as the VFL boys.

At least Acres will get his weekly out on the full out of the way early. ::)
After last week's game, it's not surprising the boys look stuffed.
Defending is shocking
How was that not holding the ball?
and
How was that a free against Harry?
Going to be a long day with umpiring like that.
We've started poorly.
It ain’t the umpiring - it’s the effort.
Crash, please merge this with the other in game thread.
It ain’t the umpiring - it’s the effort.
Effort is definitely down, but when you chase down an opponent after his taken about 10 steps, take him to ground without him getting a disposal and you do NOT get rewarded....why would you bother doing it next time?
Umpires MUST reward that effort.
Cripps in the rooms, Ed C warming up........
Errrr, OS at the moment with no coverage, can someone explain WTF is going on?
Horrible embarrassing display for a team who still needs another win to lock finals in. Was due for an off week but didn’t expect it to be this bad
Underlying numbers such as tackling and clearances is pretty good well doesn't suggest a 5 goal smashing. Its just everything GCS touch is turning into gold. Could be one of those days - but just need to keep working hard
Contenders to pretenders in a week. This
Is why I cant believe them.
Marchbank…. meh

Yep.
And they don’t even have a fking coach!
At least we won't feel bad dropping Dow, Fisher, Marchbank etc next week lol.
I would near sub Fisher out, my God.
Charlie not double teamed - what a great sight.
So.....how about that local sporting team. :o

You said this a few weeks ago and I laughed, last week and this week it’s happened again 🤣
But that pass to Charlie in the 2nd was sublime.
I’ll live with him having a “rangefinder” in the first q 🤣🤣

Q1 horrible
Q2 return to form
2 points down @ 1/2 time
@rocky
2 points down @ 1/2 time @rocky
Double WTF?
Dare I say, a good quarter by Dow. Still ragdolled at times, but has one of the best side steps going around.
Better. 4 goals from Charlie. Still a long way to go from the team that pounded Gold Coast not that many weeks ago.

Its happened a lot more than that. It was happening so often that i started to take notice......and then started making a joke about it....now its just 'a thing' that happens.
He does well, largely, but its its almost something you can set your watch too.
Acres and Dow have been instrumental in the fight back
Getting our hands on it at last.
Go Blues
Cripps NQR, going through the motions. 6 touches in the first quarter, 4 since then,. Cannot bend over!! Get ahead and get him off.
This is an awful ground for watching on TV. Shade/sun/shade
Q3 with 1.6 😳
Need to tidy up
Don't shoot the messenger when I say this please. But I was thinking about what Paul Keating said more than 30 years ago. I am looking at the scoreboard early and I said to myself "It was the loss we had to have". Eight in a row, I was thinking our fellas are tired. Like I said earlier, this is not an easy trip or a walkover, especially on their turf.
But to their credit, this has been a great fightback. I reckon this will go down to the wire. Double chance (more in theory than in practice) or a home elimination final is still on the cards to play for.
1.7 for the quarter. Back to the bad old days of earlier this season.
god this team kill me!
1.8 in that quarter!!!! Are they bloody for real
How Carlton is that. Point, point, point, point, point, then the other side goes up and kicks a goal.

And to be honest I’d rather we have to fight and grind this win than recline in the deckchairs, as long as we win !
I do not want to be in a must win next week !

Yes, I would like that stress removed today.
We should have stitched it that qtr.
Keep working hard Baggers.

What would we even worse, is if the Giants lose to the Injectors. Then they'll be more desperate and have more to play for. For once, go Collingwood next week. They can have their "minor" premiership, Essendon to miss out on September, then rinse and repeat their famous form in September.
Crap blues. Fking crap
Marchbank doing a Plowman

I actually had the same quote in my head.
Teams who end up winning the GF often have a loss in the last 2-3 weeks of the season. It helps them regain some focus.

Please NOT this ducking week! My heart can’t take it anymore!

But then Collingwood....
Charlie truly remarkable
Seven points down at the time of writing. But, we have three more interchange rotations to make than them. Just got to keep the margin within touching distance... PS. One point and two interchanges less than them.
Charlie truly remarkable
Ably helped with Martin and Motlop too. Owies has chimed in, but with more behinds than goals. Harry has looked like he has missed some footy really. Then Harry puts us in front!
Our Charlie, 5 goals 1 behind and nine score involvements. Selflessly dished it off to the big H to put us in front!
Beautiful work Matty. An under-the-radar handy player. Now identifical to Martin and Motlop, 2 goals 2. A handy buffer.
4pts is 4pts🥸
3 votes Charlie curnow.
Won us the game
and
Saved the game for us as well.
What a game.
Never in doubt.
Sensational fight back. 40 points down at one point. Gutsy gutsy gutsy. Very proud of the boys. Charlie Curnow is off the charts crazy good.
Fair to say I hated every minute of that, except for the final siren part.
What a game.
Never in doubt.
🤣
Charlie you beauty !
screw me. Feel free to censor this Mods if you want but we're in the finals for the first time in 10 years so
screw me!
So just to be clear, with this win, we are guaranteed finals - no ifs buts or maybes ?
There's been too many losses after, after the siren for me to bear another one. Port Adelaide (twice, 2000 and 2020), Hawthorn (2001), Geelong (2002). Three years in a row FFS. A behind at the death WON it for us! What a lucky escape. But what a fightback. What a win. Nine in a row. Never easy up there. Not this year. Phew.
screw me. Feel free to censor this Mods if you want but we're in the finals for the first time in 10 years so
screw me!
Yep, enjoy it !
Let anyone sore have a rest next week (unless Melb get rolled this weekend) and let’s get stuck into September !
We can breathe now and say the F word as many times as we want 🥳
Now for GWS to belt the living day lights out of the Scum to top the day off.
Yep, enjoy it !

There's a week off after the GWS game, so there's the rest 12 or so days. Next week I reckon we'll load up with our best available side and give it everything... good form into the finals is a must.
