Title: AFL Rd 1 2026 In game Angst Carlton vs Richmond
Post by: crashlander on March 11, 2026, 02:15:27 pm
Another Thursday night game I can't get to. It really devalues my memberships having games on a Thursday night. I lived in Bendigo for 17 years: a weekday game was never viable then. I really feel like suing the AFL.

Im going, I have made a pact with my daughter to go to every game in Melbourne no matter how we are travelling. Fingers crossed I can achieve this.

Cowan, Carrol and O’Keefe in for Saad, Reidy and Moir. Disappointed in Moir as he has a chance to really be enemy himself but seems to lack intensity.

Fans have been saying this about him for a while now, in the 1st quarter last week it really stood out, it was like he was playing in slo-motion compared the everybody else.

Fun fact, if Pittonet kicks 1 more goal, he'll be equal leader of the coleman thus far.  He's currently =2nd.  ;D
Odds on that being the case at this stage?  :P

For those who bemoan 'same old, same old' I hope they can see the difference. Forward handball at all costs, create options through the centre an lower the eyes. Is it working?? 70% of the time so far but that's ok, we are learning and then perfecting. Same last week but the opposition was too good and not a great place to try out a new plan. Like what I'm seeing, confidence growing, mistakes will be made.

Post by: JonDorotich on March 12, 2026, 09:02:14 pm
We’re winning but it has been disappointing

The positives - Carroll was excellent and McGovern forward has been good, keep him there! Good performances also from Jagga, Pitto and Florent

The negatives - Elijah & his brother have good moments but they make so many mistakes it’s just not worth having them out there.  Cripps needs to be a lot cleaner, as does Chesser. Fogarty is a  VFL player - why we wouldn’t invest in Byrne is beyond me.

Walsh, Hewett, Ainsworth, Williams all need to do a lot more  in the second half

We need to lift our intensity

Fingers crossed

30% of the time it doesn't and thats where the opposition doubles our score. ;)

How the f*** does Fogarty still get a game.

Barely ever kicks a goal. Gets a gimme 15m out straight in front and hits the post.

VFL next game please and until we delist him.

so predictable and why voss wont see the season out.
The BoG till half time cripps is started on the bench for the first 7 mins of that quarter and when he gets on we are under the pump and they have their tail up.

utter stupidity and then has no answers no moves nothing when the usual run comes.

said it pre game this is a 50/50 game - 2 bottom teams fighting it out.

Why when a block marks it on the line of the centre square, does the guy on the mark have to be on the 50m line?
That extra few meters was the difference between that last goal.
