Ah geez, another week of angry Voss not accepting that as good enough for where they should be at, not resting on laurels etc and the media absolutely lauding him for it.
Not his fault mate, coach is imploring his players to be a contested beast footy team which when on they are the best at it and yet….still guys in the side who are adverse to contact and tackling.
I’d imagine when a couple guys come back that backline will be more settled.
Docherty won't be back this year will he?
There's talk McStay may be back in time for finals. Certainly no star but he would big a big body capable of taking the second best defender opposed to Mihocek being undersized against most of the other backs.

I wouldn't be firing the gun too hard at posts like theirs when this whole site is people pretty much sitting on a chat forum posting comments as they watch the game. Not just watching the game and taking it all in 100%, but taking the time to look away from it and post on the internetz about some very trivial things. So there's that lol.My teams just won a great game and my immediate thought is to shadow box people on bigfooty about daicos.
Who am I?
I'm genuinely surprised at how many older people do this, as i cop a belting from dad or other old skool friends that think it is absolute bs to be so focused on posting on my phone so much when watching a game. Can 100% see where they're coming from too.

Judd has thatGiven it was a Pratt award, probably expected a brown paper bag with money. Disappointed
Careful. You will make him stay up on the p*** till 4am disliking comments from this whole gameday thread, trying to explain how everything is under control, and unearthing whatever lame excuses eventually send him to sleep.
You’re nitpicking. Carlton posters in particular have been at the forefront of those constantly belittling Nick Daicos, and his supposed lack of courage since the commencement of the season.My teams just won a great game and my immediate thought is to shadow box people on bigfooty about daicos.
Who am I?
I thought the poster to whom you responded was pretty reasonable and restrained in his understandable crack at Daicos’s detractors, particularly in view of how well Daicos played.

There's a big gulf in attack on the ball and man but Nick will have him covered on nailing them through the big sticks. I like the comparison with evasiveness though.

Hi is this the “Nick Daicos is the GOAT thread?”
What a great game of footy. It's rare these days I am glued to the TV for an entire game, but I was tonight, and that final goal by Daicos was a pearler. Both teams should figure well in the finals.

Pies don’t reach the GF without McStay last year was a huge reason they won the prelim
Absolute average coachAh geez, another week of angry Voss not accepting that as good enough for where they should be at, not resting on laurels etc and the media absolutely lauding him for it.
The fact that blouse fans and management adore him warms my heart

They don’t do it every week though- St Kilda are worse. The really ridiculous thing with Freo is you have elite forwards especially in Jye Amiss who would be even better with quick ball delivery.

He was good today McKay only kicked 4 which is at least 2-3 down on usual. He is a genuine lockdown defender but I told you that’s the output tonight most Pies fans would say thanks I’ll take that
^^^ you seriously couldn’t make this shit up

Well done Pies.
I guess it was a close, contested game, with an exciting finish, but it was ugly and poorly umpired.
That's not to say that umpires decided the game in any way, or that any team had the run of the calls.
They just let far too much holding, scragging and contact go all game. Made for an ugly slog.
I'm of the opinion that if it's there, you call it. Free kicks open the game up more than a bobbling ball and a rolling maul.
Reckon the Blues made a couple of bad calls at selection. I know the Pies don't have much in the way of tall forwards, but I would've kept Kemp in, at the expense of either Young (I'm sure he was kept in purely to play on Cox) or Kemp (play Kemp on Mihocek when Cox is forward and Weiters on Cox). Kemp is more attacking than Young, who reads the play ahead poorly and slows down our attack when he has the ball.
Williams is good at his best, but has clearly been carrying something, was lucky to play after an injury cloud, due to injuries to others.
And I probably would have kept Ollie Hollands in over Fantasia, who has been far from good for a few weeks.
I also would have gone with Cuningham as the sub over Kennedy. Kennedy has been playing well and Cuningham hasn't played for a few weeks. His fresh legs in the 3rd would've provided more than Kennedy, who is one paced.
Anyway, can't change any of that now. Just observations more than anything.
This was always going to be our toughest stretch of the draw. 5-3 isn't panic stations. Neither is 1-2 to start this horror stretch, especially with the players that are out.
Pies lifted and did what they needed to do to get the win. We move on to next week and gradually get closer to getting our full squad back. While it's important to bank wins, this isn't the end of the season where you want to be fit and firing.
Will reassess in a few weeks.

Yeah all Maynard does is hold onto Owies. All the movement even before the ground is generated by Owies trying to shrug him off and then when he realizes he can't catapulting himself into the ground .

See you on the 9th green at 9
Why can't two clubs with 100k members each sellout the G. I suppose the G wouldn't allow any of the pet members in
You do realise it's the shit McGovern that plays for Carlton right?
