Richmond v Carlton, 1st Elim'n Final

[Amazing Racer]

Actually I don't think it matters who won today - the Swans will win next week

 

[Number42]

Have to admit I didn't think we deserved to make finals, but after 3 amazing comebacks from the impossible I now think we deserve to be there. Plenty of courage on display by the Blues.

 

[Chief]

Will the Tigers ever have a team worthy of their supporters?
Deservedly beaten by a team who did not deserve to be there.

Who deserved to be there?

 

[Rod Stroker]

So do Freo fans still want to protest that yesterday was "the game of the year?"

I hate Carlton, but that was great to watch. I feel so......dirty.

 

[bullish23]

Martin, delidio, reiwoldt where o where art thou?

Was thinking the exact same thing. Finals found out all three.

 

[Righteo]

Lack of finals experience was the difference. The game was eerily similar to 2003 and Freo's first final.

Not really, we were outclassed pretty much from the beginning, Richmond had a healthy lead and were in it right until the last few minutes.

Yep,after all the bottom 4 of the 8 have some fun once again the top 4 will all make into the prelims at usual.

LOL LOL LOL

Hows those lols working out for you now ?

 

[Choota]

Jack riewoldt did what we all expected he would do in a final - nothing. Pretender and the biggest cheap goal kicker of the last decade.

 

[tucky74]

And the last quarter screams it, shocking advantage called when a guy who has just picked up the ball gets tackled and advantage is paid, real momentum killer

Give me a spell,go back and read first two quarters of this thread.

LOL LOL LOL

[Beauski]

Thought conca was the one subbed off not jake king

 

[The Karma Bus]

Everyone jumps up and down that Essendon are cheats, their players are possibly beating teams because they have bodies which have been enhanced by injections etc..

They are pulled out of the finals and the 9th placed team, Carlton, take their place..

Nek minnit: "Carlton don't deserve to be there"

Seriously, stfu you embarrassing people..

 

[StringyDog]

Did the AFL site really give Deledio Richmond's best A nothing game hidden away mostly off half back while his opponents setup the win

At least the old Griffen vs Deledio debate is finally settled, I guess one is built for finals football while the other is a nice half back/winger in home and away contests

Shocking advantage taken you mean.

 

[vast]

On one hand **** you richmond for letting carlton win,

On the other hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[tucky74]

What, multiple pages of Carlton flogs calling a few 50's 'soft' because they're used to an armchair ride?

Go read it,then get back to me

 

[RyanMac95]

Shocking advantage taken you mean.

Ball must have continuous movement, not continuous when the guy supposedly taking the advantage is tackled almost before he picked it up

Worst dual coleman medallist ever

Fuct if I know what you are saying here but I think I get the gist of it and it sound truly disturbing.

Sorry on the phone but the language was offensive and racist, stuff was thrown at carl supporters, people fightinh including richmond supporters with each other plus beer being thrown and even tipped on people supporting carltons heads.

 

[wowlace]

Can we talk about Cotchin's disposal? 'Cause it's woeful.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Everyone thought it was going to be a bruise-free final.

One team played bruise-free, the other didn't.

Also, Rance lol.

 

[JasRulz63]

Ball must have continuous movement, not continuous when the guy supposedly taking the advantage is tackled almost before he picked it up

What are you talking about? He had take a good 3-4 steps running away from the contest before being tackled.

And if he didn't hear it, well then it's the same as when Betts didn't hear the call and played on leading to a 50.

 

[Blues_Man]

Yep. Carlton haven't given away ANY free kicks today and it's all umpires just making excuses.

Did you see that play? Carlton making mistakes as well. Stop trying to blame the umpires for your pathetic efforts today.

So tell me ...who are you going to blame for your teams pathetic efforts today ? lol

 

[Dirty Bird]

Who deserved to be there?

Adelaide. (But at the expense of Port)
If Essendon players were banned as they should have.
There's no Monfries for that offbreak in the last Showdown.
Carlton play Collingwood.
Adelaide play Richmond.

May or may not be clutching at straws....
