The dogdy AF Free kick to Freijah (high contact by Dean I think) in the first (goal resulted)
The non free kick to George for Weightmans Toby Green studs to his groin (goal resulted)
Thats 3 goals which in a draw is diabolical.

Not paying a free against Weightman for Tobying George was a shocker!

Paying a free against Dean when Haynes marked going back with the flight was another diabolical decision.  What’s Dean supposed to do, step aside?

As bad as those decisions were, repeatedly delivering the ball lace out to an opponent or a teammate at a disadvantage didn’t help.  Kicking down the line to an Evans vs Lobb contest probably isn’t the best option 🙄

Dislike:
The throw allowed by the umps leading to Dishlicker goal.

Likes:
Making finals
Frase clearly unimpressed with how we didn't handle Dishlicker pressure.
Wil Hayward courage. Acres last qtr.
Though not playing well, weathering the storm and salvaging a draw.
For the younguns, experiencing finals-like pressure.

Concerns:
Straying from game-plan under pressure.
A few bad old habits emerged in the 2nd qtr, in particular.

Dislike:
The throw allowed by the umps leading to Dishlicker goal.

Bevo commented that it was the best front-half game they'd played all year. So, kudos to our lads for fighting through that... almost!

Robert Heatley Stand / Carlton 2026 Finals Campaign
Last post by Gointocarlton -
So we have both Seniors and Reserves playing finals this year, albeit a wildcard final but nonetheless a final. According to google, the last time this happened was 1996.
When the 1s and 2s are both humming, Ive always said that IMO, this is a key recipe item for success.

I think group got ahead of themselves today. To me they strayed away from everything they have been doing the last several weeks bar the first quarter. Unable to beat a severely undermanned side we normally beat at full strength is a tell. I think the occasion and the meaning of the game got to them, Fraser could see it also. He was as demonstrative and flustered as I have seen him be. Credit to Bevo (who I dont rate) for switching the plan at qtr time.
