I'll be there. How I pull up will be interesting.
Couldn't care less who the sub is, just don't want to have to use him FFS. No more injuries.
Here we screwen go, Saad copped one in the eye
Here we screwen go, Saad copped one in the eye
We've got as many injuries in the first 2 minutes as the tigers have from their entire list.
Punch it thru Doc FFS
Conditions are tailor made for the way they play
Walsh has 8 in the first 5 minutes.
If he keeps this up he'll have 32 by quarter time and end up with 128 for the game! :o
Eye gouging is now legal.
Ol mate ump 22 on fire early.
Thats a soft free, especially in these conditions. Gimme goal.
Ol mate ump 22 on fire early.
Nathan Williamson.
Was that the West Coast umpire?
From 2020 post game thread vs West Coast....
WC 23rd player today was #22 Nathan Williams. According to BT that is.
FWIW He began his career in Mandurah, just south of Perth, aged 12yrs. He became a regular WAFL umpire.
Yep. This guy has form against us.
Vossy is going to be giving them another spray.
Not playing to the conditions. Trying to be too cute and not playing the territory game.
.....and another free given in dodgy circumstances by #22......(#23 set the mark, but 22 blew the whistle first)
Boyd, Young tick, tick.
Ugly start
Goaless Qtr = Loss AFAIC
We cannot play in these conditions period.
Eye gouging is now legal.
Even with the benefit of the doubt it was a high fend off.
So far not so good.

Need to get back to wet weather basics.
Need to get back to wet weather basics.
Started to get back into the game late in the quarter. Kicking next two goals will help
I would take Boyd every day over Plowman. He just keeps on finding ways to play dumb. Dopey and slow without a clue what to do when pressure is on.
Young been very good.
Don't have a matchup for Balta...
Don't have a matchup for Balta...
or #22
We won't score at this rate
Don't have a matchup for Balta...
Or Lynch it seems
Terrible start
Young looks gun shy now one on one with Lynch
No throw from Graham?
Plowman and Young were not best 22 in rd 1. Durdin was not playing AFL.
That chain was started by a 1-handed handball, which i'm pretty sure is illegal....but it was the tigers....
They are going to embarrass us Im afraid, party tricks from Jack and its only qtr 2
Pretty much game over. Will take something monumental to win this from here.
Tigers bigger slower bodies enjoying the wet.Short is tagging Docherty, Saad with one bad eye do we have no drive..
Pretty much game over. Will take something monumental to win this from here.
Yep, got us covered in all depts atm.
If Vossy sprayed them last week when we were winning, what's he gonna do this wee at half time.
Our mids are not even getting their hands on it 😳
Game over, no recovering from this.
We've broken the duck.....now lets get on a roll.
Getting smashed in the midfield and forwards are off.
We've broken the duck.....now lets get on a roll.
....thats 2....
Much against the wishes of the commentary team, our first goal, and now our second!
Plowman was brilliant there, and the turnover up the ground nearly screwed him over as he was trying to play inbetween 3 tigers players. He did it well and they turned it over back to us.
Stopped tigers goal and set up that goal from Harry.
Made the most of a bit of control
No rain, no tigers...
Hate Lynch...
Fk×_[ whinging Jack R
Get over yourself or become an umpire
Too much damage done in the first qtr and a bit, they won't lose this from here. The rain may come and go but it will be slippery all night. They will just hack it fwd, the last goal of the second qtr was an example. We are trying to play cute dry weather footy.
We're gone.
Hopefully we can win next week.
Need 14 wins to make the 8
Half time reset.
G it up and do it for Crippa
Go Blues
Radar shows that it could be dry from here....maybe the odd little sprinkle (it is melbourne after all).
If it stays dry, we get our handball going, we'll run them down.

Focussing too much on game plan A not together enough for game plan B this year - maybe next year. Lets hope the boys put up a fight worthy of a top four team.
They are cleaner, smarter and have had the rub of the green. And our forwards are playing really dumb in all leading to the same spot and then having to contest for the same ball. Use your strengths and bloody seperate the defence ffs!
If Charlie and Harry separate and use their superior pace and height we can get back in this.
If the rain stays away we can get back in the game more.They want it slower and more of a bang crash long kick game and we need it dry so we can run them off their feet and use the ball through a few more hands...
Lynch has 3 but Young has been ok...Boyd done some good things, liked a shepherd he put on to help Saad.
Martin, Owies and Durdin not great considering ball been on the deck alot in our forward 50.
That was frustrating. After kicking 3 and getting right back into the game we give away a red timer right at the death.

We need to play pagans paddock.
Get the forwards leading up the ground, kick it over their heads and get them (and our smalls) to run back onto it. We have the pace to make it work, plus we'd have a head start knowing what we are doing before it happens.
The long bomb to the pack is helping them, not us.

The conditions should suit them, they have been woeful.

No chance
Martin has been awful. Looks weak at the contest with dropped marks and 3 touches which I can’t remember one hitting a target.
Cottrell Boyd young all amongst our best which is a good for the future.
Extremely frustrated with some of the non efforts - tearing my hair out!
Do something! Change something! Stop flying for the ducking same ball and all landing on your arses!
Umpiring has been bewildering
Is Hodge my new most hated commentator. When Carlton slides into Richmond - free kick. When it’s the other way around, doesn’t see it initially then says it’s a low bump (which connected under the knee)
Jack Riewoldt needs a good smack in the mouth

lol....melbourne
H being held.
"riewoldt plays for a free.....and gets it"
....from #22 of course.
Shai bolton is the most damaging player in the AFL.

I see you a Bolton and raise you a Curnow.
Martin tackle not paid ffs
Apparantly you can blatantly push a player in the back, to the ground, 30m off the ball and its ok.....as long as its the Carlton player pushed.
Bad turn over, that was an important goal..
Sheesh my tip was -26
Not like me to even be close but....
The defenders standing up well given the ease and chaos its coming in with. Its the mids and fwds that haven't struck a blow.

Umps love this mob. Have a lot of whinging players like cats. Can’t stand them.
Kick the effin ball...
If there was a measure for putting your own players under pressure, we'd be through the roof tonight.
Sneaky Durds
Kennedy kicks long instead of handballing or going short and Durdin goals...
The defenders standing up well given the ease and chaos its coming in with. Its the mids and fwds that haven't struck a blow.
Can't blame the forwards....the mids are not kicking to their advantage.
Sticky hands TDK. Shame about the kick
Docs disposal has been ordinary
Saad is the best HBF in the comp
Play on.
He is in a f***ing headlock!
Ffs doc ducking. Not
Ffs doc ducking. Not
Selwood makes a career out of it.
Never seen him get done once in similar circumstances though.
Boyd's best game. Well done son 👏
Rain rain stay away...
Boyd's best game. Well done son 👏
Wet weather specialist is Boyd. He's done well.
SOJ is also a wet weather specialist.
Jack Martin is a screwen liability
Boyd and Plowman been very good.
Jack Martin is a screwen liability
Copped a jumper punch to the head before he dragged him to ground.
But....
C'mon small forwards - sleepy hollow these guys
Cripps trying to fire himself up....and the boys.
Game on mole.
Boyd and Plowman been very good.
Agreed, all the defenders have been given the circumstances.
I really hate this mob.
Lynch getting sooky...
Goaless 1st qtr gonna haunt us.
Plowman has been our best player
Dirty sooking whinging Kent’s
Mids get their hands on the ball. Much better q
Hope it stays dry and we kick their angry ar>÷$
I really hate this mob.
Me too but ya gotta hand it to them, they are relentless for 4 qtrs.
Plowman has been our best player
Book into IPSM mate
Jack Martin is a screwen liability
Until he's not 😉
Plowman has been our best player
Easy up Tiger.
We are better than this bunch of pricks
Umpiring has been putrid! Tigers get to do what they want with no recourse - then have the gall to complain every time. Arms outstretched all the time even Captain Cotch - taught by Hardwick.
Martins free against him was after he got hit in the face? That’s ok is it?
Players pushed over away from play - fine too?
screw me.
Cripps was very pissed off then - wonder what happened! Who like someone to be a wrecking ball through these pricks
Lynch getting sooky...
Mentored by the master sook 😩😩😩😩
I see you a Bolton and raise you a Curnow.
Shai Bolton is going to get booed now.
Bolton..dickh

There's that pressure on ourselves again. 14 pts is a close as it was gonna get.
Where was his prior?
Probably over now....
Omg Plowman. How many games have you played again and still no awareness.
Umpiring is shocking
Where was his prior?
Where was his prior???
Omg Plowman. How many games have you played again and still no awareness.
Awareness? He was tackled before he could even turn his head.
We've swung tigers players in 360, taken them to ground, and its play on/ball up.
No consistency
Is there a better kick to position going into the fifty then LOB.
Charlie is off tonight but if he can step up in the end who knows
Boyd Saad LoB and H delivering
It dries up, we start to dominate.
Harry pulling out every club in the bag.
Harry McKay what a player
All aboard.....
Martin and H great play ▶️
Jack Newnes!!!
NOOOO way Newnes
14 pts is a close as it was gonna get.
maybe not
Docherty wasn't clear, but that was. ::)
Untouched end to end is criminal
Docherty wasn't clear, but that was. ::)
Exactly what I just said. Fking joke
Tall Durdin out knee
screw me. Sam Durdin injured now?!
Time for Cripps to stand up in his 150th
Plowman on Lynch because.......we have nobody else.
This is how screwed we are for backs.
Oh well
Short Baker Prestia murdered us at ground level and with disposal
Plowman on Lynch because.......we have nobody else.
This is how screwed we are for backs.
Boyd on Riewoldt.....
Who are we going to bring in next week? Get Eddie Betts back to play key back?
Grimes has smashed Charlie again
Should have trained with the sprinklers on
We are going to have to play Mirkov next week and play TDK back
Should have trained with the sprinklers on
Tigers are unreal in wet. Have been for years even before their flags.
We are going to have to play Mirkov next week and play TDK back
Yep..maybe Jack goes back...
Tigers are unreal in wet. Have been for years even before their flags.
Got some stronger bodies and they kick long to targets well.
We fiddled with handball in the rain too much..
Tigers are unreal in wet. Have been for years even before their flags.
They are dodgy pricks that continually get away with things no one else does! Push in the backs here and there - nothing. Throws, nothing. Head high, nothing.
Listen to them every time there’s an umpire decision they ‘talk’ to the umpire. Or complain! You don’t think that makes a difference? Coz I do!
We were putrid but We are better than them - need to get dirty and knock some of them around a bit
