Ready for tomorrow.
Relatively poor quarter from us but managed to weather the storm and still come out on top despite going into the wind.
A couple of neat highlights, but more even than I would like.
Bit of a slow start. Tigers pressure and clumsiness is on atm.
Why do we have to continually be ear bashed by BT everyweek?
The tigers storm has run out of steam.
Blues to do it easy from here.
Much better start to q2.
Just reward for Owies and Fog
Saad done ankle
Newy perfectly to Lij, who has 12 for the year
Cez a bit rusty. Hope he settles in soon
Williams reads the play so we
Fantasia finally 🙌
2 easy goals to the Tigers 🙄
Geez, make that 3
ZW 👏🏼
Our poor kicking and their good kicking is keeping them in this.
We've had twice as many scores as them
8points. Need to tidy that up
Great tackle Cez
Fair to say they've had us covered so far. Especially efficient i50. Us. Not so much.
Pitto is rusty
1st quarter
Cripps 14 touches
Cerra 3
2nd quarter
Cripps 2 touches
Cerra 11
....and now fox.footy saying exactly that. Lol
Need to get our stoppage game organised
Tigers making it a tough scrap and looking to make it physical with Nankervis leading the way. Pittonet has been ok but I feel Nankervis has liked the matchup.
Not sure about the Cincotta move on Vlastuin either, Id rather he be on one of their mids like Taranto, Baker etc.
Tigers have gambled with Balta up forward and left the newbie Blight and Miller on Harry and Charlie and got away with it so far so we need to fix that and get them the ball cleaner instead of bombing it. I can see why Blight was sought after by clubs and he looks a likely type....great game by Newman on Dusty and Cripps while quiet that quarter is the player who can take over the game in the second half.
And our contested ball game. Can't seem to win enough.
Tigers all over us while we play cute
I guess it's still early days, but this isn't quite what I was expecting from 2nd v 2nd last.
They are hustling us out of this.
I just don’t know what orasio does…
Well, he answered
Tbh best thing he’s done all year
Goal after so much effort
Tigers have our tall fwds well covered so far
Free Kicks are 16-8 tigers way.
I have no idea what the rules are anymore.
Not to say we're playing great footy though
Little Fog with a much needed settler
Mannnn that was elite by Cripps and walsh
Don't feel bad, neither do the umps.
Great centre clearance goal
That's more like it 🙌
Dusty being put in cotton wool.
Tigers waving the white flag.
Fog! Just takes his chances and converts.
And the Blues go BANG!!
Captains play and goal.
Lij. Recruit of the year
Finally a htb free
Good reward for MK
Our pressure is being felt now 💪
3q we did what we weren't doing first half. Great teamwork and top determination
Boyd's best game
That's more like it.
Me neither.
No idea about the (un) protected zone, or blocking, or....
16 touches to cripps in that quarter. 32 total.
That is more than 13 carlton players have had in all 3 quarters combined so far.
Someone might have another brownlow coming his way.
Kicked 6 in 6 minutes of actual playing time. I'm at my mother's so just following the scores. They were 8.9 with just 7.30 to go then 14.9 with 1.14 to when I looked again.
Sensational qtr by us. Tigers shellshocked. Reminds me of some of our 10 goal 3rd qtrs of yesteryear.
Curnow has kicked a goal in the past 62? games in a row.
This year he's kicked 2 goals or more in every game.......except this one so far.
Need to keep curnows (other) streak alive. Feed him
Slam the door shut please
Cerra for hewett
Weiters has been a little fumbly today
And they wrestle back the ascendancy 🤨
The Kennedy knee looked bad
Fantasia with 3 😁
I like it 👍
Great to Oman getting on the end of some
Love it when Cincotta snag one
Charlie with another
It's hard to see on the tv, but it's bucketing down out there.
Great to see multiple goals from Fog, Fantasia, and Walshy
Looks like the only stat we might lose is frees... again
A commanding performance after a slow start. Pretty much what you hope for with 2nd v 17th. Great stuff.
Icing on the cake for fantasia. Great effort
Good, old fashioned 1980s Carlton that one. Sat in 3rd gear, half effort, treated the opposition with contempt then just opened up when we felt like it and killed them.
Post game thread is available.
Move the discussion to there and we'll lock this one up.
