Ready for this evening.
It looks like I'll be there, although I've been struggling with a virus. Not sure what the crowd will be like.
We will get blasted off the field tonight
10th on the liver ladder....lol.
Evans won the ball against 3 there to set that up.
Jagga our most important mid?
What was Gov thinking??
Setanta McGovern
Don't mention his name, you'll summon Mav!
Halfway through the first quarter and the only bloke wearing a navy jumper who has laid a tackle is Pittonet! :o
Walsh making some stupid decisions tonight.
Supposed to be the next captain....i'm not seeing it anymore.
gets caught htb too often.
It's been a great quarter so far. Keeping pace with the top team over the last couple of years.
....and Walsh hits the post going into an open goal.
F*** me.
Good start
Carlton: 3 tackles for the 1st quarter.
This shoot out stuff generally ends badly for us.
Kemp has the yips.....now he is touching other peoples goals!
Wasn't much tackling all round. Not alot of defence happening. 3 is really crap. We have added 2.more since. Now all of 5.
The man the mark.doesnt apply to us
Kemp must feel bad for stopping that goal. He now has 4......our last 4.
I've seen us up 5 goals and dominating against the Lions before......that prelim was all down hill since there. Hopefully this one has a different ending.
We're winning the tackle count now 15 to 14.
Harry Dean?!
How good
Lions win. Goodnight
Not has happy blowing 3 goals late in the qtr. Qtr goes for 20 min, not 17.
Hopefully we don't fade away. Reminded me of the Melbourne game a bit there, need to run this out.
GWS winning against the Power means they have leapfrogged us.
Really need to win this one to jump back into 10th......knowing we have Freo in the final round will present a problem for us.
The boys for the most part are playing quite well. Apart from a few horrific turnovers where we tried to use the corridor they've had Brisvegas' measure. I think they're over their form slump. Hopefully we run it out. Would be great.
Im not watching at all - but we are looking good!?
Crowd is right into it, which gives us another gear.
We are playing attacking, which works for us mostly. It does lead to some silly errors/turnovers, which hurt us the other way.
It is working more than its hurting us though.
Umps in the last 5 minutes are making some silly calls.......like right this second! and its all potentially going to unravel any second now.
EDIT: Thankfully footy gods were in our favour.
For the record, not saying the free kick for a dumped tackle wasn't there, but he exaggerated it, and they didn't pay us one 3 minutes earlier. Both the non-decision AND the decision cost got the Lions 2 shots at goal
Harry kicks us over 100
Whatever happens from here on, it's been a super effort thus far. Cracking the ton halfway through the third is pretty special.
Yes, given we've only cracked the ton once all year.
Win lose or draw. Frazer needs to take the bull by the horns and say I'm ready to coach and I want the job. If he is not ready now he never will be.
Super effort thus far. Can we do it for one more quarter? Lot's on1% plays. Really committed players out there. They deserve to win.
We are playing inspired footy.
Full team effort, constant pressure and accurate goal kicking.
We are not losing this.
Lions down on rotations which will help.
Malthouse on the wireless having concerns about Harry's decision making and disposal.
Stat of the night.
Scores from set shots.
Carlton - 11.2
Brisbane - 3.7
Thats the ball game.
Good kicking is good football!
14 individual goal kickers to date.
Not in my wildest dreams could I have seen a game like this.
And for once, we have a good milestone game. And there's no one more worthy of a great 250th than Crippa.
16 goal kickers.
Seems if you've played 250, you can't get a goal, but everyone else can
Twos: 19.6
Seniors: 22.9
Never saw that coming.
George Hewett has played some game.
Nobody could have, but when you think about how well we played against them to lose the first time, I thought that loss was our best game of the season.
We play so much like Brisbane, and it looks like they don't like it when they get some of their own medicine.
Kicked 6 each qtr. Last qtr 6 to zip.
