Competitions Game day thread round 17: West Coast v Carlton

[Warsaw]

Oh No.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jesus wept Waite.

 

[jackoisno1]

Waite reported again

 

[Snoozer]

If Waite goes for that, I'll spew up.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Waite reported again... lol.

 

[Call_of_juddy]

Oh Waite.

 

[Bring Back Jezza]

Waitey again ! the slow mo looks like head contact was made if there is he'll be gone for another 2 or 3

BBJ

 

[Dramoth]

And Waite has done it again...

 

[Chism]

Nothing in Waites report. He will be fine.

Purnell that umpire is a goose and use to umpire my local footy league and was woeful then and how he made it to this level is beyond me.

Waitey again ! the slow mo looks like head contact was made if there is he'll be gone for another 2 or 3

BBJ

Contact to the head??? What footage did you see??? Clearly hit his shoulder with a tucked in elbow.

BBJ

Are you kidding - that report was a joke. No way will he go for that.

 

[Dramoth]

Late goal for the weagles...

Saw a few replays for the Waite incident... while it looks bad, I dont think that there is anything in there really.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Go Blues.

 

[Warsaw]

****ing hate those goals. Waite's fine.

It will do. Good win.

 

[Dramoth]

A win is a win is a win...

I'll take it.

 

[ratten7]

Collingwood next week.

Selwood ran off holding his shoulder/upper chest, Waitey should be fine.

 

[Mentallo]

A win is a win is a win...

I'll take it.

Correct.

Hopefully the second half is a catalyst for the next 5 weeks plus.

 

[Kramer1]

Hysterical or what? Not once have I ever been ashamed to be a Carlton supporter. Not when Essendon smashed us at Windy Hill in 1985, or when North smashed us at Arden St in 1983. I wasn't even ashamed when North smashed the living daylights out of us in Round 22, 2003. That day I was ashamed of many Carlton supporters, but not ashamed to be a Carlton supporter.

All that shows is we have a different tolerance for shame. The manner in which a number of players approached the physical aspect of the game is shameful...I have spent plenty of time on here defending Gibbs and Murphy, but tonight they were shown to be lacking ticker on numerous occasions. You can call it hysterical if you like...I'll stick with ashamed.

 

[Cazbah]

Waite should be ok but why risk that in junk time?

Good win. Should have started better.

 

[The Exorcist]

Good win, hopefully will give the boys a kick start to their confidence


Have always been a bit ambiguous about Grigg as a player, but was very good tonight - ran hard, thought through his delivery, and added a bigger body to the team.


Hopefully he hasn't signed with GC

 

[parrot]

Our 2nd half showed a lot of guts. Thought Mark Le Dive's selfishness helped us though. Nice win.

 

[bigblue23]

Grigg can play
Ellard done well on priddas
Garlott could be something special
Hampson has hard hands
206 is no value around the ground and jacobs is better
Jr is not a fullback
Aw frustrates me(im thinking he might be shit)but when we beat Geelong and st kilda he was great
Waite lives on the edge and is plain dumb (lucky tonight)
Ratten is out of his depth

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Great comeback, very well done lads.

I'd like to know what was said at half time to fire them up

 

[ZabsBlues]

So Ratten is out there kicking, handballing and marking for all the guys out there who are ****ing up??? Ratten cant do everything for those players who arent making the effort


If I was you, I would change sides and go support Richmond.

Mate I love my football club with passion, dont tell me to go support another team. I have been a paid up member of the Carlton Football Club for over 20 years . I have supported Ratten as our coach from day 1, in last 4 weeks I have my doubts he is the right man for the job.

 

[Sin City]

Good to be back on the winners list

Great effort by Grigg.

8 goals from our small forwards.

Encouraging game from Warnock.

Ellard did a great job on Priddis, we may need him now with Army injured.

Hendo presented very well all game.

Credit to Russell, very tough job and never dropped his head.

Nice to see Bower taking the game on again.

Chris Johnson was a very good link man.

Courageous effort Army, hope you're alright mate.
