I will be at the MCG tomorrow evening supporting the guys. Hopefully we can make a point.
Please put all in-game stuff here!
Car'n the Blues!
Plowman gettings screwed by the umps there
We're looking OK ... at least competitive
How does McKay drop that?
Out of form due to injuries!
Hopefully he can find form throughout the game.
We've found something Lob can do! Get the cheap ones over the back. lol
I'm a fan of SPS, and he had the right idea, but that is strike 1 against him.
....and then Saad does the same thing!
Obviously the 2021 whipping boy this kid is.
Far from our worse so far.
Well you keep track of him, and you point how much good he does and report back.
Ive seen him refuse to put his body in, act like he was going to tackle and not chase hard....all in the space of 10 seconds on the far wing earlier.
fellas lets start the season with some postives rather then the negatives
Nice to see kids Walsh, Dow and LOB impacting. I know it’s very early but this is where the improvement will come from.
Seriously, i'm clearly not seeing what good he does, so point it out to me.
I agree but too hard for some on here mate.
So its a negative we've found something LOB can do?
At least we aren't 5 goals down. Hang in there boys.
Like to see Saad man up his man better, Castanga with cheap goals and if we could just make it harder for them to score we can win this game. Tigers are a bit off and living off our mistakes only..
@chalkybill Mate, i'd love nothing more for LOB to come on. I'm rooting for him as much as anyone. Getting the joe the goose was a laugh, but hey, at least he did the running to get there.
I'd just like to see more....is that crime?
Like the look of Fogarty so far.
"Not in the back.....turned him sideways."
I need to get my eyes checked.....or they do.
Weiters slow to react to the play on call.....could've taken a couple of steps sideways and put the pressure on the kick.
Instead he lets Lynch walk around him and get a kick away under no pressure.
Happy to see the old Cripps back after putting on the weight he lost last year.
The new tractor!
Woeful attempt by McKay.
Well done by LOB. Didn't take the mark, but he stood his ground.
No pressure on Jones?
Give that 1 second more and see how much pressure he's under.
FMD thats a stupid call!
LOB hard running forward again, ready for the joe the goose.........
Fogarty should've given it to him :-*
Red time kings
Umpires again giving the opposition every 50/50 they can.
What in the feck was Saad supposed to do?
You beat me to it. We just cannot get an even break. What have we done to deserve this crap from the umpires?
How was the Silvagni run down not holding the ball ??
Getting tired, doing some dumb things but can regroup and keep on fighting.
Great game from Cripps... missing TDK, Nankervis getting on top and Pittonet needs a chop out..
Again with the allowing a side a run on of 4-5 unanswered goals. Sheesh. Could be the difference AND helps the Tiggers get their tails up. So much good work, so quickly undone.
That was woeful umpiring, easiest decision to call..
Nwas Just thinking how good would it be if TDK was there to run Nankervis of his feet
This club is going nowhere when we're still gifting games to the like of SPS and Liam Jones. Especially the later. Why he thinks he's a good kick is beyond me. He should be told to give it to someone else or kick long to a contest.
Those two kicks of his coming out defence is just soul destroying. He does something half decent by intercepting but then two seconds later screws it up. Such a dickhead!
Obviously need to regroup. Did well to contain them to that score in the end. Let's see if we can get our crap together for the 3Q. We are showing plenty of spirit imo.
Good point - hadn’t occurred to me, but Pitto has taken every ruck contest. Surely he can’t do that all game
Thought Saad played an excellent 2nd quarter, defended well and gave us some great drive.
Tigers mids as a group just got on top and the Dusty goal deflated our blokes a bit.
Casboult doesnt look match fit so i dont think hes going to be up to give Pitto to much help
As they said in the commentary, the tackle didn't stick.
Jack subbed out.
Oscar McDonald the new FF i guess (or CHF)
You don't like Jones and thats fine. But have a think about what you right. "Gifting him games" Name 1 player that could be passed as an alternative to him.
If that had of been against us im sure it would have been called
Tom "Paul Bower" Williamson does it again.
he should never have got the handball back
Oscar "Super Sub" McDonald in the right place at the right time.
Umpires f*cked that one up. Clearly deliberate
Plowman playing the game of his life.
McDonald !!
Very rarely plays a bad game.
Rarely makes such an obvious offensive impact.
Beaten dusty the last 3 contests they've had. Then goes up and kicks his own.
Stupid McKay .... certain goal
Its not ideal, but he knew he had his direct opponent beaten.....just didn't see the little troll lurking.
Commentators call a fee kick for us. Umpires give a free kick to them. Clearly got different scripts.
Red time kings. Just can't seem to stop goals in the last two minutes. Every week, every year for screwing decades...
They are make the most of their chances we are trying our arses off but just lack the last poise to finish it. Not that far off.
Skin of our teeth. Are we too fatigued now to stop a real Tiger run on?
I expect the tigers to get a rev up and smack us from here.
I expect us to tire and make stupid decisions due to fatigue.
I expect this to be a 'close, but not good enough' game that we seem to have against the tigers every year.
I'd like to see something different.
I'd like to see LOB win us the game. Don't think he's had a touch since half time, at most 1.
I'd like to see Harry take a mark. Stop. Go back and kick a drop punt at goal!
I'd like to see SPS play hard, uncompromising footy and kick 50m to our advantage, not short kicks, that fall short.
I'd like to see to see us get a few 50-50 free kicks go our way.
I'd like to see a win.
Fk fk fk fk fk!
10 of our last 12 scores have been points, of one the goals from our back pocket, the give give up a red time goal. Some things will never change.
Fk fk fk fk fk!
I agree. The boys have given a good account of themselves thus far. If Harry had more composure and kicked those 2 goals where he rushed it, we'd be in the lead. Hopefully we don't get blown away in the last.
Still a bloody stupid choice krud ....
I never thought we'd get a hiding, so that (if we don't get up in Q4) is one meritorious start to 2021. If Betts and Williams had been out there ... sigh
Not sure when Silvagni hurt himself but well before he was subbed off he was heading back towards goal and I thought his arm looked to be hanging strange. If he did that run and chase after being injured it was even more impressive. Showed a bit of toe we don't normally see from him.
Whatever other faults he may have, he is above all else a pure footballer.
Commentators say it was in the tackle that he did it.
and gives 100% to the Jumper
Am i negative if i point out LOBs fumbling the mark?
Am i negative if i point out his kick went right over our head and to the opposition?
Am i negative if i point out it went STRAIGHT down the other end and through the big sticks?
Shat himself.
F***ed the kick.
Way too common.
LOB again. Geez ...
Is the club coaching him? Is he listening? He rushes. I have said numerous times he needs a routine, ala Fev. Go back deliberately to kick it straight.
McKay poise or lack of it ... all good though
He's lost confidence in his kicking since he did his groin a couple years ago.
Ever since then, he snaps 50% of his shots on goal rather than drop punt.
Super Sub again.
Walsh clotheslined....no free. ::)
apparently thats legal against us
....and another one bites the dust.
Lesson of the day....if you do an inspirational run down tackle....you will get injured. >:(
Saad just embarrassed you Seton ... pathetic
Sps been soft and lazy tonight. Saad busted a nut to chase sps man and got in in the end all cause sps wouldn’t put the hard yards in.
I was a fan but starting to really wonder whether this bloke really wants it enough.
Yep I thought I was the only one who saw it. He will hate seeing that on the review tomorrow.
Its hard to run when you've pulled a string.........a heart string.
Omg Walsh is a star.
1. Walsh got clotheslined.....again. No free.
2. What was LOB doing in that marking contest?
Surprising fact of the day.
Free kicks 14 - 25
We are the 25!
Have you ever seen more players crap the bed than this club weekly? screwing embarassing!
Seton just stopped ... gave up ...
Saw the Docherty f8ck up coming from a mile away
"Casboult was mounted" - play on
Murphy great servant for the club but is he really in our best 22
That goal right there sums up these 2 sides.
When the game is on the line, they stand up....and we fall over.
we ran out of legs
Obligatory first round 5 goal loss to kick off the season. Never change Carlton, never change. It's worked do well for two decades. Sick of this crap
Liam Jones horror show tonight.
Lucky we have the fitness guru hey
We ran out of legs.
We ran out of heart.
We ran out of class.
I told you so.
Agreed. Our preseason was better / longer but they look fresher
Dustin Martin .... 1 player was the difference tonight
If you can't stop Martin you can't beat them..
And just quietly, Docherty is a real worry. screwing panic merchant on the level of Jones.
No one can stop him mate. He is clearly the best player in it. And he is for a reason.
We had our chances though. Kick straight and we could have won. Fogarty, Dow, Walsh, McKay should have kicked 4+.
How much would have Williams and Martin added today - heaps!
LOB - you've lost me. SPS - not far behind.
Also Reiwoldt doesn't miss, we don't have that reliability in front of goal.
The big problem is between the ears with our blokes.
No belief which leads to panicking and other bad decision making.
i would say 2 players Dusty and Riewoldt
*You're
;)
As a supporter, we need to keep our expectations in check. It was always going to happen. Doesn't mean the season is a write off. We are simply not in the same class as the Tigers yet.....and it hurts.
2 or 3 junk time goals flattered the Tigers. That was a 2 goal game IMO. I can see improvement compared to this time last year, no doubt.
Plenty of chances to win that but we stuffed at at vital moments. When we're in a position to win I want to be winning those games now, not stuffing them up. Less that 5 min to go Dow should've put us in front. Too many chances pissed down the drain. Margin though did the game no justice.
Totally agree. Williams would have been worth his weight in gold against Shai freaking Bolton.
How come Jones got the deliberate but Nankervis didn’t? That was a 12 point mistake.
Fly over casboult, no free. Walsh flies, in the back free to them.
Tigers are arrogant little craps and I look forward to them imploding, hopefully soon.
Another year same old story
A few players also need to look at their attack on the footy... Setterfield put the brakes on when he should have gone harder and Reiwoldt let him know... Needs to watch Walsh and see what's required.
LOB and Dow just make mistakes at the wrong time... Jones and Docherty were wobbly down back.
I totally disagree. The whole club seems to accept that we'll be beaten by them. We could have won tonight quite easily if we'd had the self belief.
We had the team to beat them even with 10 injuries.
Totally agree Paul ... with a full side, we would / could have pinched it. I saw a lot of fight out there.
No. Nobody accepts that we'll be beaten by them out there. They tried their butts off...I knew they would. The difference is they are a great side and do what's required to win the game. They do it all the time.
We can give ourselves a pat on the back and an encouragement award, but reality is they are just better than us.
True words. A lot of teams have been beaten by the tigers the last 4 years. Just our bad luck we play them in the first round.
Not quite 12 points - Rioli missed.
