Will try to work out a margin table if Carlton beat Richmond

Go Dons!

 

[eth-dog]

The losses against Casey (just plain bad against a side we should be beating), Williamstown (lead most of the day) and Southport (late goal) will come back to haunt us

 

[eth-dog]

Carlton down by 16 to Richmond at HT (boo)
Geelong up by 5 against Sandy at QT (yay)

We’re 12% behind Richmond ..can’t make the finals anyway. Or am I missing something?

if you didnt tell me chips, I would never have known. Not sure they are getting their money's worth with the naming rights.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Same break down at VFL level; Need to lower the eyes more going inside 50.

 

[eth-dog]

Goldy injured?

 

[eth-dog]

I hate watching these games. I keep cheering for both teams

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Nguyen showing a few glimpses early. A few tenacious efforts and nice direct play when he's had it.

So, Eli with 13 to quarter time. How many of those have been quality touches?

What position does Nguyen play?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Nice kick

Great link up play there too. Maybe the best I've seen from either level all year. Just looks like he knows what he's doing.

He seems to........... in my opinion......... "try too hard" with his kicks or rushes himself mentally

Sort of like Hobbsy with his '"indecisiveness" - brain going a million miles an hour and can't take the first or easy visual option - that's a learning skill you acquire over time

Of course he shanks two in a row after I say that haha

Half back

In a Nguyen situation

Commentators are struggling with the jumpers too. It’s bloody confusing

 

[Howard Moon]

Notice the AFL players hanging together around the huddle but Zach alone- maybe he did bring the hairdryer out Friday night...
