With the game starting at 2010, it is going to be a late night.
We are not on free-to-air TV.
AFL website says we are on 7 Mate but I cannot see anything.
Probably not the spot for this however could not find any where more appropriate. Adelaide have beaten GWS which means that if we win tonight we will be one game out of the eight with two games to go. only behind WB on the ladder.
7 mate interstate if not in Victoria I would say.
crape start
How easily was Brackets bumped out of the contest... weak.
What is going on guys?
Broken tackles, sloppy disposal and no urgency.
Seems like we really want to play finals. NOT
Martin doing all the pressuring on his own there while Plowman points lol.
Tanking again.
Oh boy.
Can’t say Sydney are unbelievable, we just haven’t woken up yet. Well at least I hope that’s not us awake!
Surely considering what we are now playing for we can’t play this crape for much longer.
FFS they have half a team in.
At end of quarter Dunstall saying we have to do something about our goal kicking - need coaching
Played that quarter like a team that just wants the year to be over :(
It's really hard to comprehend just how low IQ of a team we are. Really.
NO ONE CARES
Our forward play is hopeless. Poor entries, no pressure, no leads and poor kicking for goal. Could not be more obvious than tonight.
Bottom 4 here we come.
Gosh this is incredibly embarrassing
Agree I’ve said it several times we are the dumbest list ever assembled.
So Embarrassing
High kicks into a forward line that is an absolute shambles.
No understanding whatsoever. >:(
No midfield pressure, has been the same story for years.
Wow
I want to be constructive. Thus far, I have nothing but negative comments 🤐
So painful to watch 😔
Seen enuff, night all
Any chance we could send Mark Arceri out there... is it possible we could go goalless... up forward we're certainly clueless.
For years now, you can guarantee that under pressure hacked kicks out of our back pocket, are going to hit an opposition player on the chest. You couldn't do that better and so consistently over so many years, if you deliberately tried. Just no words to explain the things we do. It's exhausting.
Are they screwing serious here
Swans doing the Pagan's paddock to us just like GWS did last week in the 4th quarter. Teague has had no answer to this.
Been listening on the radio, just poor. To hell with it off to the watch a movie.
This club is a shambles AGAIN.
Another fking bottom 4 finish coming. Disgrace.
We've officially hit rock bottom. This is a disaster I can't watch any more.
All cues in the rack, all minds back in Melbourne.
At last Fisher breaks the duck.
I usually like to consider myself pretty measured....but this is a disgraceful effort to this point.
Better ;)
McGovern NO TOUCHES ........
So irrelevant are we these days, that commentators refer to one of our cornerstone greats of his era as the famous number 44, Tom Alvin. All the other blokes agreed, even Dunstall who played against him. Umpire calls one of our only two stars "Welsh" when giving him a free in the first. These things are telling to me, a Blues support of 40 years now. The irrelevance, disdain and disrespect have become the norm. SMH
Has the CFC just arrived at Metricon?
We have been trying, they just have punished us when they go forward.
I want our forwards coach sacked. Tonight.
Two frigging different carltons play!
McGovern can go and screw right off / seeya! Waste of space.
Astounding how bad we've been. We seemed to only give a f@rk when we were 7 down. While they are going better now I've got a feeling that they're still just stringing us along.
The first quarter was a weak, disgraceful, display by a team who looked like they absolutely didn't give a flying you know what.
Mackay and in particular Mcgovern are without doubt the weakest physically tall forwards I reckon we have ever had at the club.
Cottrell not up to it, Williamson, no thank you, and don't get me started on Ploughman. One nice mark followed by error after error. Setterfield must have gone for a break, haven't sited him. Is Cunningham playing? Oh, there he is having a cup of tea.
Petrevski Seaton is not, and has never been a backman and should always play in the mid-field, wherehe isgiven an opportunity to display his skills.
The club really need to make some hard decisions for next year.
There is too much dead wood at this club, and we need to trade and trade without compassion. We need to tell Murphy, Simpson and Betts that it's over., so we free up money and can pay for the best available.
It's taken the coach the whole year till this game to really be active and make changes, so we are at least coming back a bit. We bloody well had too, because it was sickening to see what they were serving up.
Bottom line, make the tough and in reality, not so tough decisions,otherwise, I reckon we won't win a flag for another 25 years, and I won't be alive to see that.
How good is Sam Walsh?
Cue "laj" to tell everyone there's nothing to see here. Murphy's "hardness" has been inspiring.
Aside from a midfield that doesn't have a clue how to defend and block up space whilst at the same time creating a runway to allow sides to waltz through without impediment. "laj" would have you believe that some of our defenders are AA... LOL!
This club knows how to finish off a year in embarassing fashion. Looking forward to what they bring in the final 2 rounds. F'n joke!
Murph has kept us in it.
Setters seems so weak - we seem to weak across the frigen board.
I think Willo is doing well.
Not enough - MCGOVERN! Pissing me right off now. He can go!
Coaching disaster in the first half and were getting a great look at who wants stay to stick around
Plowman on the oppositions fastest forward? We’re very lucky Papley has missed a couple Of easy shots. Jones like a headless chook again flailing about.
No interest in SPS into the middle?????? Wake up coaches.
McGovern being ragdolled by kids?? This bloke doesn’t want it. No muscle tone in his arms after umpteen pre-seasons. Wake up coaches.
Interesting looking at the Stats.. almost even two quarters. We lead inside 50s and they lead tackles by 8.
I’m not watching or listening, surely we mustn’t be as bad as some are spruking.
What we need folks is 18 players who have a crack for 4 quarters. No superstars just team players..
He's been excellent. 100% player
MacGovern.... 0% player.
Time for Teague to admit he stuffed up big time with the McGovern recruiting.
McGovern came before Teague was coach.
::)
My boy Newnes does it again.
Come on boys, 13 points.
Should have said "keeping hm"
Didn't know Teague was list manager as well.
Queue spanner....
Just tell me how good he was there. Murphy, the gift the keeps on giving...
Murphy is the new Bartlett!
Come on! Weiters, Walsh, Willo
The three Ws having a great game.
McGovern play the goddam whistle you useless cretin. How long is his contract? He is giving absolutely nothing except me the craps!
Sam Walsh brilliant. Thought SPS was putting in more in that qtr.
As i've said to you before.
Show me a bloke who never misses a goal and i'll show you a liar.
Should i refer you to the Freo game which he won for us in similar circumstances last year?
McGovern better put in a big quarter, otherwise his year could be done.
Put a cork in it mate, he was the only one that stood up first half!
I can name others off the top of My head that missed easy goals including Harry, Levi, cunners
Your hard on for Murphy is boring
I actually said to the wife he is playing better this week then he kicked it straight to Swans player and then followed it up with that showboating crap.
I thought he was gone when he did his ankle.
Maybe he got a jab in it and has no feeling left?
Lets see if he uses his left, or handballs more this quarter.
Okay live stream:

Snappy McKay does it again.
Does he know how to kick a drop punt?
Scores level.
Good kick by Murphy to the spot...
Every week Sam Docherty reminds me more and more of Andy McKay. Just smart and solid.
And there is this weeks Willo = Bower moment....
Swans getting a raw deal from the umps.
It's like watching Keystone Cops
Where is the benny hill music?
Nobody has scored in the last so far. 10 mins (+ time on) and counting....
Great tackle by Docherty.
Cottrell the unlikely hero? :o
....and here it gets taken away from us.
Report him for staging.
He missed!
No screwen way. I must be dreaming.
We kicked 1.0 in the last. The only goal we've kicked in the last quarter for the past 3 weeks.....and it was all we needed.
Cottrell = Angry eyes!
DeKonig is the future!
We got 2...lol.
2 straight!
If Pittonet hadn't already retired Kreuzer, TDK has.
You are right. I forgot we were down by 1 goal at 3/4 time.
Just shows you ... ;D
Absolutely speechless and so proud of them for chipping away after are disasterouz first quarter
Cannot friggin believe it. It was shaping as one of "those" games again. You know the ones. Multiple entries for little or no result. Then we hit the front and the MANDATORY BS free kick to snatch the victory away from us. I've seen that movie too many times. But the football gods have smiled on us for a change and justice prevailed. No doubt another heart seizure awaits us next week....
Let's use the post game now guys.
