At the game and the incident occurred up the other end from where I was.
Was there anything in the Hawkins/Weitering incident that sent weiters from the field with the blood rule?

Nope, marking contest. Hawkins tried to spoil and got him with an open hand.

Won the free kick count by a mile with old mate Williamson umpiring…just sayin…

Flat Earthers gone a bit quiet me thinks..

Give TDK all the money his best game only going to get better

Getting a bit of the NickNat vibe about him with his intense follow up on the ground post ruck contest.

Going to be an absolute weapon.

Tried to spoil his face …

A bit worried that McGovern seems to have forgotten how to mark a football.

Not sure if rusty, low on confidence or simply exhausted with a newborn baby.

But would like to see his sticky mitts return ASAP.

CC started it.

No, that was chelseacarlton.

He’s NQR isn’t he …

Each week should get better.

Was at the game so missed it but heard Motlop got someone high with a bump. Anything in it?

Love the win, well done to the team


Don’t want to be too critical but…


Marks are taken with hands out in front …. not on your chest

Harry was good in the last few minutes plucking a few beauties

Cos Thursday night is a s**t night for football. But, the AFL is the AFL.

I only missed it because I’m isolating with fricken Covid. Again.

Thursday night is a great great night to watch football - on the T V. Ratings will be huge for tonight.

Great for our sponsors etc. Atmosphere sounded great on TV.

Quick caveat that Geelong were clearly not firing on all cylinders tonight, but glad we fought it out. Best game I've seen Kennedy play, and McKay put up midfielder numbers covering the ground tonight.

Charlie, Durdin and Motlop bringing the attacking power tonight, with Owies getting on the end a bit to finish. Still have my concerns with his mobility, but you can see that he's making good decisions.

Two rucks clicked into place for us late as a screen for McKay to take a few grabs, but otherwise it's going to require TDK picking up a lot of forward craft to account for the heavy legs he's have after centre bounce work. Pittonet was more mobile than I've seen for a while, but he was also far more selective. Balance isn't right there.

Docherty's fitness is a little bit of a worry to me, and it immediately drags down his disposal by foot. Hope he can iron it out. Newman still probably the first defender I'd replace, but like Owies still making good decisions... just rarely hurts the opposition when he does so.

Grain of salt with this result, but happy we got the win.

Wait what? Only ‘first defender you’d drop’?????
Are you wavering??? Say it isn’t so Jim. Say it isn’t so.

It's a bit like the Fonz trying to say that he was ww, wwr, wwrr, wwrro.

You know what I mean

Yes. On TV. For the sponsors.

Like I said. The AFL is the AFL.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Yeah, lift your game carltonchelsea. Don't lead me astray.

I’ve ripped most of you off at Princes as mentioned prior, I see no reason to stray from Chiefs little internetty footy site, here’s your fiver from a fifty and a cold pie with an International roast.

 

[branedotorg]

Satisfied

It'll come. All he needs is continuity. Please God, is that too much to ask.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Just back from the game - Exhaustion. Relief. Delight. Joy.

I've lived in Brisbane since 1980. I've probably escaped your grift.

Nothing in it.

Will be assessed by Christian as low impact, accidental, in-play, wearing Carlton jumper -> 2 weeks.

 

[Arr0w]

Was happy to be 1 and 1 after the first 2 rounds, but extra couple of points could be vital end of year

Now go on a run of 5 very winnable games if we are switched on

Would take 4 and 1 over that period

 

[carltonchelsea]

I'm snookered. I no longer know how to reply to you.

I worked for John Elliot in the 80’s as a teen, it is, what it, is!

On a side note very poor crowd tonight.I know cats supporters probably didn’t make the trip cause it’s our home game but 55k is a bit unders.

There was 50k of us.
Thursday night fixture is horrible for crowds but great for tv.
