That is an awful set of decisions all in Carlton's favour to change the game.
Not paying the holding the ball right in front was awful. That just about levels the game. 4 veto soft frees and a ridiculous 50m penalty, game over

Good point!
Probably needs another 5 years on a list to catch Reid

... just not ours!
Came across this fascinating interactive map that shows where all the VFL/AFL players came from. Zoom in on an area, pick a team and a box pops up giving you all the players who went on to play senior footy - and the accolades they received (if any).
maphub.net
Do yourself a favour and spend a bit of time surfing the map - as I said, I, at least, found it fascinating. And while you do - click on the Ingleburn Magpies in Western Sydney & see who played for them as a junior.

So because we are aiming for a top 4 spot, we want Port to beat Carlton? Because we are fighting to make the finals, we want Carlton to beat Port? Guess we win either way!

Can probably make top 4 if we go 4-1 from here.
Although why on Earth Carlton had a 5 day break, I would be furious if I was them.

Hope so but I think unlikely- also great if Norths ambush Geelong at Hobart, and Sydney beat the Bulldogs, Saints win over Essendon and Adelaide win at home vs Hawthorn.
But far more importantly we need to beat Melbourne! Our top 4 fate is (substantially) in our own hands now.

That is one argument, I was just saying a Carlton supporting mate of mine was complaining as to why any club has a 5 day break at this time of the season.

Except for my footytips. Happier to see Bombers shot down though.
Saw a clip earlier this week from a radio panel discussion from only a bit over a month ago and someone (can’t remember who) was saying - Isn’t it good, we’re going to have a top 4 with three of the biggest Victorian clubs in the top 4. Hasn’t happened for years. Carlton, Essendon & Collingwood. Great for footy in Melbourne.
Yeah, that aged well.
Not happy to see the bombers lose today as I have a side thing going with them, even if it's strategically beneficial to us.
Bombers fans embrace us more than any other club I find (Sheedy?) but they're still the best supporter base to be around in Melbourne in Giants gear.

And the round so far has been mixed for us - Carlton and Essendon lost. However, Brisbane, Fremantle and Geelong all won - this was as expected though. But far more importantly we won, and as long as we win 3 of our last 4 games we should make the top 4, given the even nature of the competition.
