Carlton look the real deal to me - regardless of how bad Geelong are.
Hoping and praying they fall in a hole
Can’t believe how bad Geelong were last night. Defensively they played like a little league side.
Walsh and Cripps have terrible disposal. If Daicos gets 50 with the pressure Geelong applied last night it may result in 45 score involvements and 5 goals. May be first time a player gets all 6 Brownlow votes
Carlton are still suspect to sustained pressure. Just look at the Sydney game and our game.Sydney still clear favourites but I do think the other gf position is between the blosers and us. Losing that is not an option.

Yep Suns will pull an all mighty GF performance as every poor team does against us
The almost universal lovefest for Carlton is sickening, not to mention misguided.
The commentators kept crapping on during the telecast about how brilliant Carlton is "amazing players" "Carlton definitely the second seed now" "Curnow is unstoppable" blah blah
And Scott in his post-match took the line (paraphrasing) "I don't normally comment on the opposition, but goodness me, Carlton was wonderful tonight. We tried our best to get back into the game but they were too good. I thought we (GEE) played quite well, but Carlton was just too good".
When the media guys reminded him that GEE put in a shocker recently against Freo(?) so was there a trend, he doubled down on his line about Carlton being just too good. GEE has lost 6 of their last 7 for goodness' sake, after starting the season 7 - 0
Sickening.
Can't imagine us ever seeing this universal acknowledgement if we had beaten the insipid Cats in the same way.
PS: Swans must be getting worried (or will say it's another example of Vic media bias).

Scott saying Geelong played well is just spin. Behind closed doors he will realise what a terrible hole they have fallen into.
We already knew Carlton was a good team but they aren’t suddenly any better after last night’

An outlier.
Yep. I can't imagine we'd hear such effusive language from Scott had we done the flogging last night.

is hilarious - they lost by 10 goals.
Does Geelong now have their own version of "expected score"?

They definitely score highly on the 'Expected Pressure' index...
- they were wobbly all night!

I might be biased but I am actually less impressed by Carlton after last night. Geelong were insipid but still somehow in the game at the 3 qtr time. I don't see Carlton handling our pressure, or Sydney's
The way I see it Sydney are a lock for top spot and Carlton for a position within the top 4 so them defeating one of those teams in Geelong who will be fighting us (assuming they can turn their form around) for one of the two remaining top 4 spots wasn't such a bad result in the scheme of things.

I have completed a forensic analysis of the top contenders and have arrived at the following conclusion:
Collingwood will win the 2024 premiership by four goals.

Geelong look done imo. The top 6 teams imo look like (in 4 tiers) Sydney, then us and Carlton, then GWS, then possibly bulldogs and Brisbane.
Just my opinion though and it could change at any time.

Yep there was nothing well about how Cats played last night. They were insipid. I'd be fuming if that was the effort my club put in.

Serves himself right, hey?
Wonder if he has any regrets. His big bro was useless last night too.
