Easy to say in hindsight, but Carlton should have bombed a few within 5m of the goal line to get a rushed behind to manufacture a draw as worst case scenario.

They should’ve won comfortably. They just tried to bomb at goal in the last quarter and completely stuffed it up

One would think that if there is any truth to this, that Fagan is not the type of person who would stand for such nonsense and he would be having discussions with Zorko about the viability of his position as captain. At least one would hope so.
Seems to be truth to it. It’s the top story on news.com.au today
Agree. Whoever made up the online rumour about what he said over the weekend (which was equally bad but different, so clearly made up by someone) is also a grub
This - a couple of times towards the end he would've been better served leaving the ball for another player, but instead went in and caused a turnover which the Pies capitalised on.
However without Cripps, the Blues would have lost by more and been out of it by halfway through the quarter - staggering the contested game he played, how many contest possessions? Close to 30 or something?
they are a side that only has 1 or 2 annoying players (unlike for example the Cats, Swans, Tigers, pretty much everyone bar Freo) - however Cox is starting to build a bit of a rep with that kneeing in the ruck contests, he needs to cut that out quick smart

Is blaming a player for a loss because they made a late impacting the game error despite having an overall great game akin to blaming an umpire for a loss because they made a late dodgy decision that impacted the game?
You know the old saying 'You get what you pay for' - well, when a product or service is 'free' it's usually of poor quality or delivery and often is simply a promotion to up-sell a similar product or service, this includes online platforms promoting tabloid journalism...
And for anyone thinking news.com.au is not/not predominately full of sensational nonsense, one of todays headlines is:
"Year 8 Melbourne private school girl identifies as a cat!"
It is also apparent that news.com.au and the Daily Mail are bitter rivals in the "Who can publish the most believable bullshit" competition..!

Carlton are a very good team and Cripps is a great player. As badgrill said without him they lose by more. But Calton lost because they lacked composure in key moments.Is blaming a player for a loss because they made a late impacting the game error despite having an overall great game akin to blaming an umpire for a loss because they made a late dodgy decision that impacted the game?
"Be reliable, don't be remarkable" watch this from 11.00 on - this is what Carlton and Cripps lacked yesterday.

Conservative press were trying to make a huge deal out of this months ago when some girl in Brissy was doing it. Glad to see it back - keep on rolling with the pointless culture wars!
Who in there right mind would ever consider taking the coaching gig at * is beyond me. After everything that has gone on at that cesspool of a place you'd think the only way they'll ever get a half decent coach is if they are totally desperate. It won't happen but I'd love for Clarko to offer Rutten a gig as one of his assistance just to stick it up the *

‘Unforgivable’: Malthouse, Lloyd declare Bombers should not turn to Hird
AFL coaching great Mick Malthouse and former Essendon skipper Matthew Lloyd say James Hird’s role in the Bombers’ supplements scandal means he should not be considered for the current coaching vacancy. This came as Port Adelaide said the Bombers were “dreaming” if they think they could land Ken...
Good to see someone like Lloyd speak sense on the possibility of Hird coming back. That bloke shouldn't be remotely involved with any AFL club or the game on any level above maybe cutting oranges for a junior team. Then again, experimenting on young players is his forte, so maybe not even that.
Wow Kingsley as Giants coach. I thought it was Yze's job to lose. I'd love for us to poach him as an assistant coach for Sammy assuming he doesn't get a gig somewhere else. I assume he's still contracted at Melbourne though.

Feel for Yze but there must be something about how he is presenting as to why he is being continually overlooked for senior gigs when he has been an assistant so long now.

Hardwick once again fails to make the AA squad. The selection panel can genuinely go **** themselves. Absolute disgrace he hasn't made the squad at the very least.
Based on that, Sicily is no chance to make the team
Checks to see that Dimma got snubbed for the AA squad again but then look to see that the * had no selections at all
If the Roos win 5 games next season Clarko will win it… or at least he should
