Autopsy Eagles v Blues - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Sun August 18th 2:40 W / 4:40 E - (Optus Stadium)

[My Cotchin Rules]

I did t say he reduced the damage by ducking. I said he increased the damage by ducking. Gaff would've hit his chest otherwise and it would've been play on

It's still assault. He hit him. You said any good "lawyer" would get him off before a trial by reviewing the footage in court.
I can tell you now there is zero chance that gets anywhere near trial, let alone a contested mention. "Recklessly causing injury" is the conviction he would face in the real would. Defence would argue reckless instead of intention, which would get up with an early plea.

 

[CakeEater]

So none?

Ok then.

Um the one against us- where the umps missed a ball that was touched more than Dorotich's in Lygon Street that got paid a mark to gift you a goal in the last minute?

And if we kicked straight, we would've won by 4-5 goals and there'd be zero talk about umpires. I can play this game too.

Um, not sure how to put this to you Thrawn but you threw out the rules and made up a entirely different game with this post.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Did anyone notice the ball bounce over the line after it had been carried over it previously in the last quarter? Play on???

Yes I was arguing the same. It was old mate saying he would get done for assault

I find it piss funny that the Blues are so desperate to field a team this week, they had to pick a bloke called Bins.

Are you 12 years old ?

Happens multiple times a round, you are just salty

We were looking for other players with silly surnames but unfortunately, Free, Pink, Sellers & Goater don't play of us.

My point is I can use a "what-if" to trump over your "what-if".

Carlton should've been in front by 4-5 goals at that stage, so your bleating about umpires doesn't mean much here.

Very gutsy win by Carlton. Been giving it to them lately but make no mistake, this was their best win for the season. Not only did their kids stamp their case, it also put senior 'injured' players on notice.

Win like that can make significant inroads moving forward.

Disagree, Round 0 trailing by 46 points at the Gabba and winning there was better.

 

[TW Sherrin]

WCE throwing a game to prevent Freo from playing finals is a level of petty I can respect.

 

[Opium]

Now Carlton knows what it's like to have half of your list unavailable, except we had to deal with that for half a season.

And still got thumped by 10 goals

Hopefully the kids efforts yesterday were enough to incentivise the club to move on the perennially injured list cloggers like Jack Martin. Few of them showed a bit even if it was vs one of the worst WCE sides in my lifetime

 

[Rod Stroker]

That is for the bin

Settle down. They beat the second worst team of the last 5 years.

 

[Cam Payne]

An undermanned Carlton broke the game open when WC just gave up in the second quarter. There's no other way to describe it. They gave up.

 

[My Tilly]

Nope. This was an elimination final and were clear underdogs coming in.
They will beat St Kilda next week and have their tails up heading into September.

Elimination Final.. LOL! Not for WC it wasn't.

and they are no certainty to beat the Saints. Huge banana peal game

You may be desensitized to mediocrity and fail to see a good win when it occurs.
Completely understandable Rod.
