All ready for tomorrow. I'll be at the game, but not expecting much.
Miss by Dow dead in front 20m out. Boltons fault.
Weak as piss umpire
Finally some reward for a fwd entry
Dogfight..anyones game, need to keep the pressure up...
Loved watching stocker that quarter - we’ve probably snagged one there
Levi at CHB looks ok and Buckley is now asking Reid to run to a flank to get the big fella out of the corridor.
Barring misses at goal a good first quarter
Great start.
Chalk and cheese compared to last week.
Unusual feeling having commentary so CFC sympathetic!
Like the intensity.
Some positives Charlie looks a little more in the game, his Input is enough to swing a game. Intensity is about, Dow missing those goals is a sad point, needs to kick those
It actually looks like Collingwood haven't come to play.
No team can come thinking they just have to show up.
The thing we have to be careful of is that really good teams can shake that off pretty quick so it's important we keep them off balance.
Plowman on Stevenson obviously no good Stevenson way too quick
When they get into space they murder us
FMD we get it to 3 on 1 and we give away a free
Next goal important
Yes!
SOS's GPS numbers must be off the charts
Gee I'd love a free kick there ump
Champagne to s h i t in an instant >:( Walshy busy berating a team mate instead of looking at a loose man behind him.
Oh well, half time, dead level and Im still watchin ;D
Credible performance, some highs & some lows, misses to Dow as an example might become important. Need to continue this pressure in the next half, tough ask for inexperienced team
Agree...Collingwood are off today and think they can just roll us by living off our mistakes without any hard work.
Just have to keep contesting and turn the game into a real grind and then work to spread when we have the ball...very winnable.
This could be SOJs break out game. Another half of that and he'll have made a strong statement.
Fun fact of the day.
Free kicks at half time.
Collingwood - 16
Carlton - 6
We missed a couple of shots we should've kicked. Yet, we are even with the flag favourites at half time.
Lets see if we get the 'bulldogs 2nd half' today and not the 'hawks 2nd half' from here on out.
They have backed their midfield head to head with ours and I think we are on top. Setterfield is just a bigger body in the contests, Cuningham has zip and Silvagni is creating a place for himself in the team. Move it quickly and we worry them
up forward. Looking promising.
If we can hit some targets this half, it will go a long towards us creating scoreboard pressure.
Two sides out there umpires.
Dow's kicking is a massive worry. Apparently he's hired a specialist kicking coach, it's the issue that will determine whether he makes it or not.
Gee I hope this isnt the customary Carlton crap qtr
Fisher off limping will miss his zip, always seems like there there is some thing happening.. Nice goal by Gov. SOJ nice work
Free kicks are killing us here , another charity to them
Charlie seems to have stopped taking the piss
Charlie finding some form again, nice mark & goal, good team build up
So good when u have a forward who can kick the 50 m goals
Class pressure goal from Murphy
Fun fact of the day part 2.
Free kicks at 3/4 time.
Collingwood - 20
Carlton - 7
Only 1 free kick to us that quarter.
If the umps try and even up that ledger, we could be in for a big last quarter.
OMG when will we learn to put the foot on the mob's throat!!!! >:( >:( >:( We continue to gift them easy goals and stupid frees.
Really an ugly stat, almost 3 to 1 in frees,
The fee kick stat will not even up by the end of the game.
Absolutely no reason why we don't win it from here. Only a matter of playing 30 more minutes of the kind of stuff we've been playing.
Would love someone to tell me how many goals plowman has had kicked on him today.
Well they have the first 2 , time to stand up & see if we really have the desire
FOUR QUARTERS >:( >:( >:(
FMD Dow cannot hit a target to save his life
He's a liability.
We seem to lack targets ATM, Cripps a team lifter Awesome
Brilliant spoil, SOJ... Crippa goal. Love it.
SOJ has had a great game, amazing effort he has put in today
we will win this game..
still only 1 free kick in the 2nd half....about 45 minutes worth.
Yet....we are flying!
That's why we got Gibbons
Gibbo.....
Need to keep the pressure on , Go Blues
Can we buy a free please?????
Still not a free kick this quarter. That non-free kick against Plowman cost us a goal.
1 free kick this half!
What do we need to do to get a free ? Plowman really tough decision
Anyone else having deja vu?
Crap umpires.....free to marchbank...treloar got a charity too...
Close but no cigar again. F@ck this crap. I am sick of it.
Thats another free Plowman should've got which ended up in a collingwood goal.
crape umpires..
First free kick to us this quarter when the game is over.
Thanks for nothing umps.
Lack of experience telling now, add in the free count 24-7 against us makes it tough
*&#$@$! The honourable loss, brave loss experts do it again.
Disgraceful
That's sucked , brave defeat, but hard to swallow
Over twice as many free kicks in the first half.
4 times as many in the second half.
Yet someone will put the blame squarely on Bolton for this.
Its hard to beat 25 players out there.
Gutted
Umps were f@cked yes. However with their injury issues we had to run away with the game. Stinks.
That Dow miss, proved to be so costly in the context, would have given us that scoreboard break
Our players are weak as piss mentally and physically. When we were 10 pts up, WE HAD TO FIND A WAY TO GET THAT 3RD GOAL, instead they started to celebrate. Then the stupid decisions, Weitering in particular was terrible. Mentally fragile. I expected to get mauled, but responses to last week amount to nothing. I just watched Cripps walk off mouthing "how the fark did we lose that". Ill tell ya Patrick, above the shoulders.
Crippas miss when we were 10pts up with 5 mins to go.
We wanted to see a response from last week. We got it. We wanted to see 4 good quarters. We got it.
We wanted to see fair umpiring...................
Post game thread is open.
Move the discussion to that one and we'll lock this one up
The missed blatant free to Charlie in front of the goals.
