Unfortunately, field umpire errors are outside the scope of the score review system.

If fans took anything from last nights result and ruck contests, it's surely the risk of going in with just one ruck or no ruck, because lose them early and you end up in the same situation as the Handbaggers last night!

Claiming last night's TDK result as a case for solo ruck is at best a stretch.

Heeding the warning of the potentially devastating result of not having a ruck is unequivocal.

You might sneak a result in the season but in finals, well good luck with that. Can you imagine losing Cripps tot he stoppage contest in finals games because he is forced to ruck? Can you imagine losing BigH from the F50 in a final because he's on ruck duty?

The umpire called "Play On"!!!, that should be the end of it. Play on after the siren it is game over!!!

I saw it but I didn't believe it.
He has an agenda whenever he opens his mouth.
Just trying to work out what it is!

"We weren't so bad tonight, it's just that Carlton were so good....'

With Cerra, Martin, Motlop, Carroll, Marchbank, Pittonett, Cuningham, Cottrell and Young to a lesser extent waiting in the wings, the Match Committee are going to have some big decisions to make. I would think that Cerra, Martin, Marchbank, Motlop and Cottrell would normally be automatic ins but I don't see where they fit in without destabilising the balance of the team. It is a bit like the one ruck two ruck debate. There are a lot of right answers to choose from. We need to make sure we choose the best right answer.

Have to agree there. I think Charlie has not hit his best as yet as he was last year. Definitely think he can improve. Has missed some easy set shots and also some marks as well, although under immense pressure at times.

And the number of times he was held and no free kicks paid to him is infuriating.

Watch out if both Harry and Charlie have a blinder on the same day.

MEMO TO SAM WALSH : stop slamming your head into the turf when tackled trying to milk a free kick, it worked against Dangerfield but the others made you look silly, you are better than that.

Speaking with Raydan about how much I have enjoyed Cowan's rise to prominence and he made an interesting observation. The reason why Zac Williams was trialled up forward was as a direct result of how settled & reliable Cowan has been at half-back, they couldn't keep playing Williams there either. This move forced Zac into becoming a better player in a position none of us had considered he was even suited for, a huge win-win for everyone.

Charlie Curnow is "coasting" at the moment, he's content with having a little highlight reel moment where he bobs up and kicks a nice goal, the rest of the time he has his hands on his hips and is spectating., we all know he has no second efforets and refuses to chase. This is not good enough IMO, he has to learn that the players upfield are working their butts off to get the aggot up his end and he should have the decency to reward those efforts by applying himself harder and longer in a match, He'd kick 12 a week if he did. 

Contrast that to McKay who is running all over the ground, being part of the transition chain and is marking when & where needed, he is not as gifted as Curnow but gives his all 100% of the time because of it.

Can’t tell if this is serious or sarcasm.

So many Cookers on social media aligning Walsh’s with May’s last night. WTF? This is why BT has to go.

Not only is he a substandard commentator, his stupid biased comments are dangerous.

He’s the Donald Trump of commentators - inciting hatred and sowing division by tossing out stupid, unjustifiable and extreme comments which appeal to the deplorables.
