Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide
Last post by LP -The goal he got was setup by Kemp who could've had a shot himself.

Umpires should be ashamed with themselves, some bewildering home calls that require some explaining
Not sure what happened with Cripps but someone in that tangle should be getting a week.
Not a very likeable mob the crows, lot of showboating from a mob that struggled to beat a depleted cellar dweller, won't be winning a flag this year either.

Thilthorpe had a pretty ordinary game but still had twice as many disposals, twice as many marks and double his supercoach score.Thilthorpe was paid marks for attempts that were less than what H was called to play on for, multiple times one of them at the top of the goal square was seconds after the very same mark had been denied to H on the wing, and that's not counting the chest mark Thilthorpe was paid that basically come off the ruckmen's fingers, yet no Review. In the end even BT became embarrassed about it which forced him to later utter his "umpires have become lenient" remark, and BT hates us with a passion, he was probably holding back a giggle as he said it. I think at one stage, I can't recall if it was Fox or 7 because I've watched one live and the other as a replay, said something like "They better hurry up and kick before the review happens."
Harry was poor last night.
btw., I thought the AFL was supposed to be reviewing the whole scoring chain in 2026!
Nothing but silence on Haynes taking the footy in the air over the boundary line, goal Crows, imagine if that had happened to Pendles or Dangerflog, it would be front page news.
None of this is a conscious decision being made by anyone, it's the result of subconscious anticipation of events, and we're fostering that environment.
Shhh, don't mention the war!
FYI guys,
This is the post game for a game that hasn't started yet.

Look at the talent they had on the field versus ours? Huge gap.Totally agree. AFL has been completely crap.
Also, the AFL can GAGFed with our scheduling.
Saad looked cooked at the end of last year, this will be his last year IMO.
Agree with MBB, Probably our best chance of a win looking forward, Pies are banged up with injuries and sore players and dont have any depth to cover with. I dont rate them as a top 8 team either and have them as a mid pack struggler, they dont score heavily and as we all know rely on rebound goals by punishing mistakes so we need to keep the errors minimal and look after their prime movers. Id bring Hewett back in as I think the game will be a bit more of a grind and give Cripps some relief so he is a bit fresher for later. Pies have two rucks with Cameron and newbie Steene so we may stick with Okeefe, be happy to break even given Cameron usually BOG's against us.
Saad might have to comeback despite having a very old looking backline with him Newman and Haynes down there as he isnt a bad ball user and I believe the stats were two scores from 80 opportunities generated from the back half. Some of these stats are mind boggling given how the modern game operates but we operate with no method still and dont have the talent so its all about grinding out wins with our contested players leading the way.
