Rd 23: Post Game Party: Carlton vs Sydney

Win, lose or draw, this is our finale for 2017. How we go into the break will be much better if we win.
Live Long and Prosper!

Usual round 23 cue in the rack stuff unfortunately. Thought the 2nd qtr was going to be something different by the last half was pretty soft.

Anyway, the season showed we are starting to take some steps.

Yes, like a novel that has a few decent chapters here and there, and then the final chapter is a massive stinker, and you just wish the author had left it out.

Very disappointing. Went out with a whimper.

Trade and drafts beckon.
Reality always wins in the end.

Just had the feeling we played our Grand Final last week. That's what we have to take into next year.

From the in-game thread...
Quote from: DJC
No, Docherty wasn't rolled.  Rohan rode Docherty's back into the ground.

There's no difference between the tackles.  If Rohan's tackle is a free kick, Casboult's should be too.

If I was umpiring, both tackles would result in a free for in the back.

From the first angle. Yes, agree.
From the second angle, doc was rolled (slightly) and Kennedy landed off to the side on his shoulder.

Casboult was 100% flat on his back.

I wouldn't be upset if the Doc one was paid, but if the roles were reversed, i'd be more unhappy if the tackle wasn't rewarded.

That may be so, but if he was assessed on what he does with the ball he wouldn't be getting another contract.

Thankfully, its not just about what you do when you have the ball.

People are bashing Boeky because of what he does NOT do when he doesn't have the ball.

It works both ways.

I guess so, but it's a shame we saved our worst performance for last.

True they are, and no it doesn't.

Boekhorst kicking goals is not the counter balance to his direct opponent being a free running extra number. Someone like Buckley or Sumner, even Lamb, get pummelled on here for much the same reason, why does Boekhorst get a leave pass? Would he get the pass if his name was Lucas?

It's much the same as Casboult clunking marks, but costing us games.

One side of the ledger does not balance the other.

Gibbs actually ran AWAY from a lose ball that was clear in the last 10 minutes!
