Richmond v Carlton, 1st Elim'n Final

[maryjames]

Once the umpires got the f out of the game.. The better team won.

 

[Boppo]

Martin, delidio, reiwoldt where o where art thou?

 

[Chism]

Seriously proud and emotional of our boys.

What a finals win and to come back from that margin in the 3rd Qtr is massive, Juddy was instrumental in the comeback to.

 

[Jobe Watson]

And Steven Morris was being talked up as an All-Australian?

****ing hell, lol.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Richmond lost? Shocked! Oh well

 

[Barnzy]

Dropping Foley ahead of a dud like Shane Edwards was a stupid mistake. Would've helped more at clearances.

Well done Blues. Feels like a year wasted for us though.

 

[Smiling Buddha]

Thank you very much Carlton just made my wallet $1000 fatter.

I expect commissions from you lot also.

Yeah I jumped on at half time, only got odds of $5.50 from the stooges at LuxBet.

Still, the easiest money I've made this season.

Thankyou Richmond, it'll be takeout for dinner tonight.

 

[Elixuh]

You can't write this kinda stuff.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Fair play to Carlton, far too much composure. Our backline was woeful today, Morris, Rance Chaplin all comprehensively beaten and I think we were outcoached too.

Thought Cotchin, Vickery, Vlastuin and Jackson played alright, overall just not enough composure and our inexperience showed.

Will be a good lesson for our players.

Absolute armchair ride in the 2nd half, some of those decisions and a lot of missed throws and whatnot were disappointing

Second quarter says hello

What a weekend of footy!

 

[Suspense]

round 1 will be pretty massive.

Will the Tigers ever have a team worthy of their supporters?

 

[MightyTiger]

Well it's sad to go out like that, but, we will be back next year, bigger and stronger, it's been a hellavu year, not only from my teams perspective but the competition as a whole, good win today Carlton, much deserved, we buckled under the pressure and Carlton came into the game with absolutely no pressure knowing they nobody expected them to finish in the 8.

Goodluck to the rest of the teams in the finals.

 

[Uhumagoo]

lol @ Jake King, best thing he did all day was mouth off after someone else's good work

Goo

Absolutely stoked! Richmond have not made finals in 12 years and they have 1 good year and all of a sudden their fans turn into the cockiest people on planet earth. I hope this match has taught you to be a little more humble Tigers fans. Congratulations Blues

Good on them being cocky. Nothing wrong with having pride in their club.

Deservedly beaten by a team who did not deserve to be there.

 

[Ess_don]

Forgot Jack Riewoldt was on the field until they showed a shot of him afterwards having a cry...

Hate Carlton with a passion, but have to say they deserved this one.
Swans do the right thing and smash them now!

Cracker of a game.

 

[Danair]

SEN should make for interesting listening tonight and tomorrow morning (KB)

 

[Amazing Racer]

Full credit to Carlton - even with the umpires helping the Tigers

 

[RyanMac95]

Second quarter says hello

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

 

[Capey]

Well, Chaplin, that move to Richmond sure worked out for you. Port further into finals than the Tiges
