Sick of seeing this shit side Carlton on a Thursday and Friday night. Only 2 more losses and they are back to a Saturday game. Joke of a side.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

lolz, Carlton

I see George Hewett sometimes, his contested possessions, and shake my head as to what could have been. No sign of those back problems.

He was pidgeon holed as a defensive on baller with us, a role he was excellent at, and I suspect we felt he was expendable as we had Rowie, who was younger and fitter. An unfortunate mistake which many would argue wasn't even in hindsight.

I did and would definitely argue that. I remember the "surplus to requirements" talk and how the game has changed, that more dynamic, faster, offensive minded types were needed for the future, where contested, defensive stuff wasn't as important.

Well well well.

We were going to de-list him. He was not in Horse's plans. I thought it a bad move at the time and it has actually proved so. He is a mid that does the hard grunt, like Rowie. You need two of them, we only have one and one in the reserves, Gus. But he is a bigger unit and stronger than Gus. He was sensational last night and always plays well and is used as a pure mid not a tagger. Longmire just couldn't see it. He only saw him as a tagger and yet if you looked at his history with us, he was better as a pure mid, his disposals were always much higher.

The two worst list decisions, getting rid of Mummy and Hewett. Mummy was angry. He never wanted to leave but due to the Buddy deal he got pushed out. Hewie didn't want to leave either. But Horse wanted him out and with Mummy as long as Horse had Buddy he reckoned he didn't need Mummy. That worked out welll didn't it, The Great Saviour didn't win us a Premiership. As much as I admired Buddy as a player, his contract was always going to be a restriction on us getting other top end talent or being able to pay developing juniors what they were worth.

Love both players, but I'm taking George over Rowy every day of the week.

 

[Troystenvic]

Watching the Bulldogs story on Fox. Geez Bob Murphy has an extremely punchable face. Poor woe Footscray. The only way they won a flag in the modern era was to have it gifted to them by the AFL and umpires.

I must say though after knowing Georgie Bisset for the last 25 years he is a ripper of a bloke. I'm happy he is in their team of the century and he was very very very stiff to not be a Brownlow medalist to boot.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Shakes head @ that holding the ball decision.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Reef McInnes off with an ankle injury

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Ned didn’t have to wait Long to be subbed on tonight

 

[RilesMacca]

Did you guys know Davidson is a medical student?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wow Dogs absolutely dominating but not much damage

 

[Citrus22]

Pies so inconsistent, middling team all in all

 

[caesar88]

Tonight's game

 

[Troystenvic]

Pies so reliant on their older players to get them going. They will fall off a huge cliff if they already haven't.

 

[Citrus22]

It’s embarrassing how inconsistent and subpar the umpiring is on a regular basis

 

[Millky95]

Ump makes a good call with the handball in the tackle then immediately gets it wrong with that ducking high

Angus Sheldrick was playing for Claremont when George exercised his free agency rights.

As for the rest of that dribble...

So it gets worse every season without any money/resources invested in it.

Shocked to hear that

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Kick the first three goals then lose rule it is tonight

 

[Punts]

[TheGoatBaron]

[Heeney2Franklin]
