At 1535 Eastern Australian Standard Time. we play the Weagles on on their own dunghill.
We are on free-to-air TV; we haven't won when we've been on TV since June 2018, and we managed that just once.
Good start with a couple of costly umpiring decisions 🤨
Pitto holding his own. Our 3 ins going ok too.
Go Blues
Umpire 22 rearing his ugly head - how on earth was that HTB 🤦🏻♀️
Umpiring errors always seem to come just at the wrong times against us ☹️No kick to Casboult in front of our goal yet free to darling near there’s . Seems to take the wind out of our sails after great efforts
Samo has a good first quarter - about 5 tackles.
That HTB was a disgraceful decision.
>:( >:( >:(
Hate the great Carlton hater Ling. Every word dripping with disdain against us. Yuck!
And whose that bloody jockey called Daisy?
Well, we just got one back !!!
We're two goals up.
Darcy: They're finding a way, the Blues.
The A-Team of Blues haters on deck tonight. So tired of these commentators week in and week out.
Go Blues!
De Koning VERY good.
What happened to Martin ......
Pittonet?
Cheers, Not Watching. AFL site has the Pitt injured as well.
Really proud of that first half, we look so good at times but you could sense in that second quarter we were running out of steam near the end.
Kennedy been very good, as has Samo, Fisher excellent. Can’t believe how fast Cotterrell looks!
Very good half. Gutted in q2 Fish no-call for holding after the call. 50m? Nope 😠
Moments like that can kill the momentum. Umpire 22 needs to go back to umpiring school. Otherwise pretty fair.
🐟🐟🐟 has come back extra slippery, speedy, and smart. Bringing some unexpected goals whilst our forward stocks are depleted. Liking our forward pressure. Keep it up for next half 👏
Kennedy has impressed with strong marking. 👑 lookslike he's having fun. Certainly holding his own.
💙 Cottrell's efforts and focus. Once he adjusts to the tempo, might be a player.
Big half of footy to come. Hope Martin's calf is ok. We'll need every player at their best from here.
Go Blues.
Pittonet has hand injury, may come back, we'll see.
This could be massive if we can hold on. Ling and Darc might have to give us some credit.
Which Blues will turn up in the second half....
I’m not holding my breath.....
Kennedy starting to look like he has arrived. De Koning not in awe of Nic Nak unlike the commentators who drool over everything he does.
Would be Teagues best win if we can get the points here
I would have thought that when you have a ruckman as dominant as Nic Nat was in the first quarter against Pittonet, the instructions from the coach would be, rove to him,the very least man up against his midfielders, and forget about our bloke. Of course, to me that's common sense, but not to the coaches.
Dekonig is a beauty. We have really missed him, and hes holding his own in the ruck, and good to have Fish back.
cripps has a major fault. cannot kick straight for goal and as great as he is, that weakness, diminishes that greatness.
Finally, Weitering. How about the wonderful job hes done so far on Kennedy.
Which takes me back to the Port adelaide game when Teague wouldn't move him on to Charlie dixon and that cost us the game. Jones has been excellent, but he's a more dashing type than Weiters and great on the second best forward. Weiters should always be on the best forwards.
Let's hope we can kill this mob.
Go Blues.
Like to know who Cottrell is covering because I think he’s doing a fair job. Gaff??
Being 2 players down before half time in these conditions really puts us up against it. I hope they can do it but I'm not confident.
Martin out
🐟🐟🐟🐟👏
Learn to effin' mark Cripps :( Bloody sitter ....
The crapting of the bed is about to commence...
Murphy the softest player ever to play the game. Shat himself
Red time kings!
SPS got a rough holding the ball 1st up but froze on that 2nd one..
Three goals up and a goal behind in a matter of minutes. This game is done.
Took DeKoning out of the play..... big mistake
One team has to play by the rules.
The other can do almost whatever they want.
Another screwin 30pt shift
This.
WC had 6 shots from very questionable umpiring ffs
Really like the look of Cotterel.
Fast and super fit but can also kick really well on both feet! Great to see.
Nic Nat clearly holding the ball right in front of our goal play on. SPS 2 lightning holding the balls paid for 2 goals.
:-\ What a disappointing quarter.
Of course WC were always going to come at us hard and keep it up. As soon as we ran out of gas they smashed us.
Boys looked out on their feet.
About Samos last HTB, everyone stood around watching it not wanting to grab it, he did and hesitated just a moment. This HTB Rule is so confusing, thanks again Clarko for bringing it into the umpires head and now who knows what gets paid and what doesn’t - dickhead.
Commentary standard of AFL is just awful.
They routinely show up to commentate with no intention of doing anything other than shouting about 1 star player for the entire match.
It is embarrassing to be an AFL supporter. What other sport in the world has commentators who do that?
Time for Plan B
i dont think we have a plan B
It's plain cheating over there.
SPS is NOT a defender.
we do a lot of kick and hope into our Forward line
And Murphy strikes again... Soft cock
Can someone play on Sheed..
This club will go nowhere until the likes of Murphy and Simpson screw off. Enoughs enough
If anyone is a 'soft cock' it is you Spanner. Hiding behind a key board. When did you ever play 300 games?
Even week for about 4 or 5 years.
It's like this club is a professional circus proving ground. No one can sustain any level of skills for an extended period. It always turns into fumbling bumbling and shanks. Unbelievable for so many high draft picks...
When Cripps dropped that sitter in the third quarter, that was the game as far as I'm concerned. We would have had a four goal buffer, tails up, them rattled, and who knows.
the next score was a goal to them.
One more thing.
IF THEY GIVE MURPHY ANOTHER CONTRACT, I WILL NOT BE A MEMBER NEXT YEAR.
The fact is, that if they do, it will be based on loyalty not his current capacity or ability.
He is gone.
Hasn't been able to stick a tackle since he did his shoulder against the Lions 10 years ago, and aside from that,is worried about getting another crack on the jaw. He plays frightened football. Add to that, he's a turnover king, and he's a waste of space on the field.
Thank you for your service Mark, but it's time to hang them up.
This year is stuffed. not just for us, but as a league.
i hope those in control have got the guts to rest 6-8 of the current team playing each week, and use the rest of this season to try out some new blood.
We're a much better side but still a learning side. In game consistency has cost us dearly this year. That's the job next pre-season to further our development.
That sounds right 150 weak as piss games in a minor competition.
I thought he just played a good game today ??
J.J Richards and sons. We deliver rubbish. Week in, week out.
You mean like the gifted games Murphy has been given? He has reached that level mainly due to his position in the draft. No other club in the league would have put up with his level of output for over a decade.
Only the dickheads at the CFC would allow that and still allow it. screwing joke
Agree, but in context, our fwd line is depleted
Jog on. Sick of your rubbish. No-one dribbles more $hit.
Obviously can't be a Carlton supporter.
I can't think of a softer player to play 200 games for us.
Thanks for your contribution "laj". I'm assuming you tea bag Murphy? That's the only thing I can think of because you've got your Murphy coloured glasses on if you can't see he should not be on the field and playing for this club...
And yet we continue to persist with him... What's the definition of insanity again? ::)
Without using the derogatory language, Spanner is correct. Murphy is finished as an on baller at AFL level. His body is gone, he's got little left. He's not making clearances, there's no effective defensive effort and at times hes little more than a traffic cone as far as the opposition are concerned.
When he tackles, and that's rarely, it's with one arm. Gets knocked off the ball and falls over a lot, gets caught all the time, looks slow.... It's time for a kid to step up. Thanks Marc, but time's up.
Yes Murp. has had it but not because of a lack of skill or heart but because the game has changed. He was an outside mid but the game now only uses inside mids who bullock their way through and he is not built that way. Yes he may not prove to be overly useful these days but please recognise his history and his contribution to the club over the years.
