We are so far from being favourites for this!
All smiles in the box pre game, let’s see how long that lasts?
Looking forward to this , still odd to see 3 key ex blues around though
Gee I do hate that strip looks like Pjs
K
Solid forward effort result Goal
I don’t want Sam Rowe being interviewed on TV 30 secs before the first bounce. Not needed!!!
TIMEKEEPERS !!
BLOW THE FREAKING SIREN !!!!
And just like that
P!ssweak effort there by SPS for Adelaide’s first goal >:(
If Eddie had just stayed with us
If I see one more kick across the face of goal by us I will smash the tv and spew up
Commentary already making me feel billious!
Gifting it to crows forwards i50 will not win games
If I see one more kick across the face of goal by us I will smash the tv and spew up
Hope the to is insured GITC it's going to happen unfortunately
At this rate it will be a 130 - 30 towelling
this iis a debacle
Cutting us up with there skill & ball work. And all uncontested
This is looking very very ominous!!
People used to call Bryce soft, SPS has him covered by the length of the Flemmington straight. I am just about over him to be honest. Bull Rider my ass.

Welcome back Rob, do you want to go back to China yet ?
Stuff this manning a piece of grass how about playing man on man for the game.
Plus we have to listen to Brayshaw.
I have two questions that really need answering.
1. How do Mullet and O'Shea get a game? Especially at the same time
2. Why don't we run? We jog around a bit but in attack we're always covered by a defender and going back the opposition always have 5-10 metres on us.
200cm KPFs who won't take the front position!
Welcome back Rob, do you want to go back to China yet ?
Cheers mate .... Yes not the welcome home I was looking at mmmm Xiamen Blues has a ring though?
here we go....again
1. How do Mullet and O'Shea get a game? Especially at the same time
The mind boggles doesn’t it.....
Stuff this manning a piece of grass how about playing man on man for the game.

YES!!! We set up a zone and just watch them run around it. Why????
Good decision and delivery O'Brein
Did Gibbs ever play this well for us?
SPS is taking the p!ss.
I am all for taking the game on but some of our decision making is making it hard for us. Creates a turn over in the end & with the skill set of the Crows they nail us yet again
Did Gibbs ever play this well for us?
SPS is taking the p!ss.
Yes and yes. ;)
We obviously don't do sprint training.

Was going to say the same thing. Our set up seem to allow teams to carve through it too easily.
Cheers mate .... Yes not the welcome home I was looking at mmmm Xiamen Blues has a ring though?
We managed to avoid becoming the “Gold Coast Blues”...
So Eddie finally gets some form...
Did Gibbs ever play this well for us?
SPS is taking the p!ss.
Gibbs is a hack remember ?
We should've worn orange tonight cause we are just witches hats
Simmo is cooked!
Great tackle by Jones, unrewarded...
So Eddie finally gets some form...
We are carlton remember, we play everyone and anyone back into form. It's a tradition.
Simmo cost us big time again, short passes to one of their’s on the charge out of the back pocket...he has done this numerous times this year, costs us goals everytime >:(
44 to 13 :'(
Please don't let this trend continue
Ok that officially sucked. Too many loose players , they are dictating the game and we can't catch them. Man on man needed slow the game down.
I've been watching the World Racewalking Cup online. No footy when that's on.
What's been happening? Not alot by the look if it.
Poor disposal is killing us. Kicks to players feet, must clean this up. We MUST kick the first couple or it will get very ugly.
Great tackle by Jones, unrewarded...
I don’t understand this. He had ample time to get rid of it, Jones brought him to ground and only then did he get rid of it - why isn’t that paid ball anymore?

I wouldn't say that. Plenty of frustration, dismay, disappointment, and depressive moments if you're a bluebagger that is :-\
360 tackles not rewarded ???
Ok its official, gonna get ugly.
Think it was Richo in the commentary team that said athe start of the second "Carlton need to find a way to slow Adelaide down".
I disagree.
We need to find a way to speed up and go with them.
While we are in a position where our list has players like Graham still there when we have injuries then we know our list still has a long way to go.

Can only play the game with the players you have on the park, our skill level won't allow it unfortunately
Feck, Adelaide made a mistake.
Nick Graham, can't kick a goal from 40 m and still gets a game. Go figure.
Harry starting to look like he belongs
Nice intercept H.
Goal.
As for Graham.....mmm
Butter fingers Levi.
Butter fingers Levi.
RIP Bolton!
Harry starting to look like he belongs
Then dumps one out on the full on the run...lol. We had a couple of chances to get a little closer.
Seriously Levi?
Well done Paddy! Playing well
Gee whiz, amazing what happens when you lock the ball in the F50.
Dow's first goal for us congrats....life bit of fight happening
Levi is a one trick pony. If Kerr can do anything below his knees, bring him in!!
Welcome to the big time Paddy Wow
Seriously Levi?
Obviously picking balls up off the ground isn't a strength...lol.
Talk about letting the pressure of the Crows ...
Incredible! One of our guys sprinted!!!
Thank you O'Brien
Hmmmmmmm.
Better, better, better
Nice Harry great to see a forward who has confidence in his kicking
I have the sound down. Is it my imagination or are we playing better?
What SPS doing there FFS!
Obrein having a nice patch
9 of 10 i50's. Lack polish...
Goal to Adelaide against the flow.
Farkin Levi is having a shocker
Levi a dead set liability tonight.
OBrien seems a good type , looks like a player
We seem to have settled a bit
Levi redeems himself a bit nice goal
Levi a dead set liability tonight.
And then he does that.
Levi has redeemed himself! We are playing better than them :o
All our big blokes are on the board now.
Beautiful contested mark and goal big Levi
All our big blokes are on the board now.
That would the first for a long while?
WTF was that kick.
Daisy seems to be injury free playing well , glad he got the extra year
Our own Ed playing well.
Daisy seems to be injury free playing well , glad he got the extra year
100% on 2017
Simmo again costs us...coulda kicked to either of our free blokes in F50, instead tries to be the hero and have a shot, falls 10metres short straight to the only Adelaide bloke in F50, seriously, get to 300 and retire...thanks
Our pressure having effect Crows not as effective as the 1st qtr. Nice come back in that qtr for us. We have shown the ability to score, and contain the Crows . If we can do next qtr is key
Q1 :-[
Q2 ^-^
Won the qtr, small steps. When you playing against 18 plus the runner, not easy.
OK now that we've all calmed down. Can someone explain to me how a runner from the opposing club runs into a player in play and there's no 50m penalty? Has something farkin changed recently I don't know about?
3 Small Words, Man On Man.
OK now that we've all calmed down. Can someone explain to me how a runner from the opposing club runs into a player in play and there's no 50m penalty? Has something farkin changed recently I don't know about?
No explanation, they are farken retarded.
One word for short - Lazarus.

Commentary team more or less laughed that off!

Plowman should have run straight through the prick.

Agreed.
Can't make a sponge cake out of baby peas
One word for short - Lazarus.
We let them waltz through tackles and do as they please in Q1. Went man on man in Q2 and Crows couldnt handle it. Should have been closer to level at 1/2 time. Need to come out absolutely breathing fire Q3.

Yep. This is there for the taking. G&D needed!
Plowman should have run straight through the prick.
How the freak does runner get away with that :o
Like the games of 2, 4 and 10. 25 starting to get involved. 5 on the the other hand is really annoying the hell out of me.
Agreed.

Richmond did last year.

Again, this is when I absolutely HATE it that we don’t have any backing in the commentary box! How TF did that go unchallenged by them???
Imagine that scenario, and swap our Plow for Dangerfield - what would’ve happened then?!

Yep. Biassed and disgraceful. >:(
3rd qtr just want to be competitive , no loose Crows , close it down and we might be able to give them a fright
For all the knocks on H, he's kicked 6 goals in 3 games.
Nothing wrong with that IMO. Plenty of big fwds don't match that at this early stage

I couldnt' give a flying feck what the commentary box think or say. Its Umps that should have did something.
OK so I still don't think we can win but if they continue on with that 2nd quarter effort I'll be satisfied.
Richmond did last year.
Yes, Tigers managed to polish that turd you normally can't polish.....lol.
Crows were over 30 disposals up at qtr time. At 1/2 they are 2 up. Flip and Kruze breaking even with Sauce (19HO a side). We've clawed back the clearance as well. Next 5 minutes will tell the tale.
Go Blues.
Go Blues
No the start I was after.
Just what we didn't want
Weak easy goal.
2 weak easy goals
Just S-house.
Sh it, how do that goal happen.
All the hard work in the second qtr almost gone in the first minute dissappointing
How long do we persist with rubbish like O’shea.
Not afl standard.
2 weak easy goals
One easy goal, and one easy behind..lol.
Simmo FFS.
Need to dig deep after conceding 2 in a few minutes
2.1 weak easy goals
All the hard work in the 2nd undone in minutes.
3 goals in 3 minutes ???
Simmo kicks straight to Sam Jacobs after one of his trademark play ons from the kick out, gets another stat, but he’s a one trick pony, gives up another goal... :o
Good while it lasted. Seen some good sign today in both games from our young players though.
Just need a properly structured side that can get some decent run.
3 goals in 3 minutes ???
2.1 in 3 minutes..lol.
Oshea tackle a beauty
Samo enough with the dinky kicks :-\
I know I've said this before but why we're we so excited by the Kennedy selection?
Kreuzer now getting an extended run on the ball and doing well.
x2 re Kennedy
That pressure is slowly building again ...
Soft free kick to Crippa
No surprise
Really needed that one from Cripps scoreboard pressure so tough for us to create
I know I've said this before but why we're we so excited by the Kennedy selection?
We might find out one day hopefully. Think he's struggled since he got injured.
I would've preferred Levi kicking at goal then than Cripps.
Why is it when we start to do well we always kick points.
We might find out one day hopefully. Think he's struggled since he got injured.

I am not sure if that's a positive thing or not lol
Simmo is finished.
Shizen
I am not sure if that's a positive thing or not lol
Nah, wasn't positive...lol.
Simo having seniors moments.
3.1 easy goals
Simmo is finished.
Still glad he is on board but agree mistakes are coming more so these days . But has been a great servant over the journey
As much as Phillips tries we looked alot better when Kreuzer was on the ball.
Fisher slung way after the ball gone no free, Crows goal
Crows scoring most of their goals from stoppages or in tight. Backline too tall again..
Ffs Fisher held without it and it's a crows goal
Kreuzer now getting an extended run on the ball and doing well.
Pump, pump...
Graham
O'Shea
Mullett
Kerrige
pffft
Still glad he is on board but agree mistakes are coming more so these days . But has been a great servant over the journey
No doubt but he is embarrassing with ball in hand.

Go the knuckle, its time.
McGovern mark a ripper
Doesn't feel like a 40pt game. We just didn't score when we doing ok.
34 now.
Umps ram us every forking time. Every 50/50 we lose
Plow should have hospitalised that runner.... Run. Straight. Through..... Slam.
Startno of the 3rd qtr revival?
Losing is bad but having to listen to the Brayshaw patronizing is worse.
Plow should have hospitalised that runner.... Run. Straight. Through..... Slam.
Agree.
How could the Umps not called that? Will be interesting to see if it makes the news. Doubtful.
Downhill skier Jenkins now getting a kick
Umps just quietly bending us over. Taking the easy option and not calling frees...
O'Shea on McGovern is not working. Go figure.
Getting tough cream rising
Fisher quiet night but great skills his stepping is awesome
There' the down hiller again
O’Shea is a truck... a crape truck
Repeat of q1 :-[
McGovern marks everything, Levi cant mark a thing.
Levi has cement on his hands tonight. Last week he really held them, this week couldn't catch a cold.
Don't agree at all with those tactics in last 2 minutes. Just take the game on FFS
Q1 :-[
Q2 ^-^
Q3 :-[
C'mon blues bring the pressure q4
Don't agree at all with those tactics in last 2 minutes. Just take the game on FFS
Better than red time goals against IMO
Levi is a much more confident player for some reason when he rucks. Always seems to lose it and struggle when he's full time FF. Always been the same. Not sure why.
Q1 :-[
Q2 ^-^
Q3 :-[
C'mon blues bring the pressure q4
9 goal last qtr coming...lol.
Better than red time goals against IMO
Agree
Agree.
How could the Umps not called that? Will be interesting to see if it makes the news. Doubtful.
There will HAVE to be official comment.
P!$$ poor. We need to focus entirely on getting Cripps and Curnow re-signed to the end of 2023 and start working hard on getting some talented recruits based on these two carrying us into being a competitive outfit.
Don't agree at all with those tactics in last 2 minutes. Just take the game on FFS
That's our defensive mindset. Drop 4-5 players back to play kick to kick and wonder why we can't get it forward to give our forwards a chance.
Newsflash - if we have 4-5 players free down back giving each easy stats they have 4-5 players crowding the corridor or our forwards too!
What’s happened to the scrolling thread thingy on the top right ?
This the only thread there...
So, remind me why we didn't go for Fogarty in the draft
Our blokes worked out Gibbs doesn't play for us now. Kicked it straight to him.

That's to make you concentrate on the game..lol.
Tame finish, hoped we could fight it out , add a few goals
Senior Simo...bugger
Cost yet another goal
Simmo cost us 4 tonight, still 12 1/2 minutes to go...could be 5 or 6 more yet
Time for a stat on failed tackles. Blues as clubhouse leader
Funniest goal of the week that ^-^
Geezus Simmo.
No run, no game plan when we go forward.
We can't tackle to stop their hands and they always seem to handball to straight to a player.
Which means they are working hard to get into position.
So it begs to ask the question, why can't we do it???????
God I hope they don't play us on free to air TV next year. It;s just embarrassing.

We pick a side that's totally incorrectly structured for modern footy. Height everywhere, no run.
North beat swans ???

Not a chance. They'll be flooded with complaints as we speak
God I hope they don't play us on free to air TV next year. It;s just embarrassing.
God I hope the AFL doesn't give us ANY games next year
10 goals down atm
We pick a side that's totally incorrectly structured for modern footy. Height everywhere, no run.
Height, but no power. And definitely no run. It kills us when set up a zone and players just stand by while the opposition run through it.
Is Sav working with Cripps too? He should be.
Ffs hand in levis back and knee in ribs....
You can always depend on Matty Wright
Ffs hand in levis back and knee in ribs....
Yes, I'm surprised Adelaide didn't get a free kick too
Deserved goal to Wright
Fogarty dropped the ball.
Possible the worst free kick all night and there have been a few.
FMD, mate from Adelaide at the ground just sent me a TXT, he reckons Levi has smashed two Carlton players in one of those HBF marking contests and they both limped off looking really sore!
Well done Ed.
How can you think that playing Rowe Casboult and Phillips alongside McKay, Kreuzer and Jones against such a strong midfield is beyond my comprehension.
It’s just beyond stupid. When will the MC learn?
Well deserved ed
More patronizing from Brayshaw

And yet we looked lightweight and undersized.
It's not playing the big blokes, it's the average quality of them!
Why do kents kick bags against us and not anyone else?

Match Committee is hopeless. Can't structure a side for modern footy to save themselves.
When fit we start with Weitering and Marchbank as out 2 key backs, McKay, Casboult as out 2 key forwards, the latter a forward/ruck, Kreuzer the only full time ruck. Then pick a running side and inside mids around that. Not something from the land of the jolly green giants.
Fraser has twice used the likes of SOS as an inside mid with success, our senior side leave him to rot in the forward line. An odd run in the midfield, like the run un the ruckfor Casboult, could do wonders for him.

Worked ok in the second.
You know the best thing? We get to play Essendon into form next week. Awesome.! Just when I thought things couldn't get worse.
You know what? If they drop Kerrige, Graham, O'Shizen and Mullett that as good as a win for me.
At least the Victory won.
Goodnight all.
Worked ok in the second.
Unfortunately there's 88 qtrs in a season.
And yet we looked lightweight and undersized.
It's not playing the big blokes, it's the average quality of them!
It's too many of them if even they were all reasonably good.
McGovern pick 43, Greenwood pick 48...cant believe Greenwood has only played 22 games and can play like that......this is the difference, clubs like the Crows pick readymade newbies and our Von Trapp kids look like novices.....
Green Shoots vs Trees.....

Gibbs mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the Crow player development is ahead of ours. Diplomatically of course.
