Imo our main failing last night was another failure of skills execution. Error ridden disposals, fumbling, bad decisions, failure to take our opportunities and turnovers are what really cost us. Very very frustrating to watch in a game we should have won.
Agree. I don't see the doom and gloom that others see. Whilst as you say, it is frustrating and painful to watch, we do have a few things to work with. Just have to keep chipping away and keep our heads up.
Lipinsku gets a free for something missed twice to SPS... Then Jones gets pinged...for that?
And people tell me it's a level playing field... Feck off.
Every team you support is unfairly treated. The Victorian cricket team gets shafted by the NSW mafia, the Australian cricket team is dudded by the Saffies and the authorities, Carlton is hated by the AFL, the media, the umps etc. Maybe you should try supporting different teams.
Watch the game Paul. Frees to one side aren't paid to the other. That's a problem.
You should probably report this institutionalised bias to the club. It seems as though they've missed it for years. They should take it up with the AFL. It cannot continue any longer.
Just want the umpiring to be fair and even. We have spoken about this for years now, are we the only ones to see the lopsided whistle blowing.
You can visit the supporter forums of every AFL club - therein you will find a plethora of individuals who swear black and blue that their club gets the rawest of deals from the AFL, the umps, the universe..........
I just want to see us with more points than them when the final siren goes Dont care how we do it, dont care who plays on who, dont care what it looks like TBH. Just want a W for the boys more than anything. Go Blues
Agree. If we lose, this will be the first time in our history that we've started the season at 0-6.
.................................... Pure speculation on my part but I reckon the turning point in Yazza’s career/life was triggered by the comments Carrazzo made when he was suspended for clocking Chapman.
Are you referring to comments like those in the following two links ? If so, they seem like fairly standard AFL fare when a player is rubbed out.
I'm not discounting the drug taking, but he was, with the benefit of hindsight, someone who lacked a basic framework and structure for dealing with life's vicissitudes and temptations, and was always going to fall hard when it occurred. The fact that it occurred at the Tiges and not us is simply chance IMO.
Dont care how we do it, dont care who plays on who, dont care what it looks like TBH. Just want a W for the boys more than anything.
