If we do not respond this week, we never will.
However, we really do have structural problems with this team. St. Kilda showed last night what a dominant ruck combo can do.
Williams first kick OOTF😳
Same old loose defense. Go figure!
Same old free differential 8 - 2
Saad and Plowman spark some good play
Murphy injured?
Walsh is flying. Murphy finished.
Razor screwed us last week. He's back for more.
Leigh Fisher once gave a free kick count of 12-1 against us in one game.
I expect a lot more of the same. Fisher being the worst.
Razor enforcing the Plowman 50m was a bit different and welcome.
Big lift from the Saad goal
Loving SPS on ball. Dow OK as well. Umpires deadset blind.
Murphy is off, Newman is on. Get creative Teague…..Stocker onto the ball, Newman to half back. You know you should do it!!!
Most influential so far razor Ray...
Old man calf injury for Murphy i think. Might put 300 out of reach.
Boys did well to withstand the early onslaught on goals (and free kick count). Weathered the storm well with a bit of help from poor kicking.
Now we've woken up and look set to crack in. Fingers crossed we continue.
Also worth pointing out the SPS will be forward/mid today according to teague. Said he was trying to turn SPS into Andy McLeod. Think that experiment is over......thankfully.
Maybe our kicking efficiency played a part. 21% the lowest by any team in a q this season!
Mid to forward connection is absolutely awful. Walsh had all the time and Harry had all the space and still they couldn’t find an easy lead up.
Make the easy look hard.
Dow and Kennedy been pretty good. Hope they keep it up
Stockers attack on the ball is really impressive.
Take a bow Paddy Dow 👏
Captain Crippa leading by example
Something about blokes in their right positions actually seems to work.
When was the last time WE kicked 4-5 in red time.
And Williams shows some fight too.
Well done
Ray you are a dead set C&^%. No other way to describe you. You are a dead set C&^%$
WTF is with us and umpires????
Ridiculous….
Martin has decided to pull his finger out of his ass today. Loving Paddy Wows game
Best ump in the comp.
If everyone umpired like him there would be no problem.
Half time fun fact
The last time we scored like this in a q was at the end of 2012!
Come on boys and girls. We've just played our best quarter in ages. Stop looking for negatives. Forget about the umps.
How much better do we look when we have a winning midfield. It’s our 2nd stringers that are having an impact too- Very happy with dow Kennedy and sps. And stocker looks so relaxed with ball in hand and using it very well. Keep it up pls.
13 to 6 free kicks.
I don't mind Razor. Adds a bit of theatre to the game. Him and Matt Stevic are supposed to be pretty good.
What is that old saying? Even a bad dog has a good day once in a while.
im pretty sure razor has been involved in most of their scoring.
SPS looks better in his right spot.
Really hope Dow, Williams, Saad, Stocker, and Martin take confidence from their efforts so far. All players, but those in particular.
Let them learn experientially how to play team way.
he doesn't like us. That holding free kick goal to Fogarty should be paid at every contested ball. The down field one against Harry when we were in possession on the wing was pretty surprising.
Pity Eddie dropped mark of the year. Would have been something.
SPS,Martin and Doe look better when they play with purpose and intent (as they doing today). Nothing more complicated than that.
Now two more qtrs like the second please Carlton
what about the 125m Crippa ran without bouncing? Swings and roundabouts kids, play well and and the umpires are irrelevant.
Paddy Wow!
I can smell a capitulation here
Sucked in. Moronic play from us.
Fight them when we don't have the ball
Weitering sore, Eddie off, Murphy subbed off ages ago. Hopefully we don't run out of gas in the last.
We swing from a high scoring q2 to no goal q3. Until red time.... the uncarlton new Carlton way 😋
Red time has been very kind to us for a change. 7 or 8 have come in that period.
I have faith our Bluebaggers at the game will give our boys every chance of getting the W
How good do we look when we put in and work for eachother.
The amount of taps, kicks off the grounds, handballs into space, blocks, shephards.....the most i've seen for a decade i reckon.
Sticking up for eachother.
Dare i say it, they are playing AS A TEAM!
Not fit enough.. Review please look at our fitness
SAAD!
Terrible Jack
Missed 50 from Plowman....
Ends up in Crows shot on goal.
Its not the ones they pay, its also the ones they don't.
Goal to Tex because of it.
One
One day they will make things easy for themselves.
Plowman brilliant on the wing.
We've done well to ice this game.
The worry is if they kick one, they are more likely to get a run on.
That 17 point margin is not ideal.
.....11 point margin.
Here we farken go again
Razor NOT paying the throw, but paying the hold?
Like, what goes on.
Faren Owies enough please,,,,,
4 of the costliest behinds of the year this qtr
Stop fkn point kicking!
Relief.
🥳 sing it loud
take the win. Deserved it.
Adelaide are a decent sie.
We're persistent in never playing a 4 qtr game. But a win nonetheless :)
Would have been a decent size win if we actually kicked straight in the last qtr.
Better side on the day wins. Actually think we played 4 quarters for a change (bar the goal kicking).
Heart stopper
