Autopsy Richmond v Carlton, AFL Rd 1 2020 - Thursday 19 March 2020 - 7:25 PM (AEST) - Teams announced

[Doctor Feel]

Has the season been called off yet?

 

[The King!]

richmond backline did seem vocal on tv, derm pointed out too

 

[Ron The Bear]

This is Richmond's oldest Round 1 team since 1982, yet if Betts is subbed in for Fisher, Carlton is older.

 

[Woody Woodman]

My summary
1) Richmond are far too good.
2) Carlton will struggle again
3) The game needs some kind of amosphere
4) Some professional players still can't do the basics. I have no idea what they do all summer.

Regarding (4), please check your list.

Luv my Tigers but really feel sorry for Matt Kreuzer

This is unwatchable and totally lifeless, seems pointless without the crowd

If this was a cracker game you’d be enjoying it! 90,000 or not this is a shit one

 

[Rich01]

Carlton have a big future.
High draft picks Dow, LOB, Kennedy, Setterfield, SPS, Stocker, Cuningham.

Give these guys a few years and they will have the best midfield in the league.

The world's in lockdown and te AFL are playing a game with no crowd kind of reminds me the episode of the Simpson's where sideshow Bob threatens to detonate a nuclear bomb on Springfield unless all tv channels go offline and yet krusty decides to use the emergency broadcast station to go on tv anyway.

This is about as hur dur as a comment can get, congrats.

You started it.

 

[Evolved1]

lol disinfecting the ball, from all that coronavirus on the grass?

As an Essendon supporter, I think it would be even more hilarious to see the ball injected with sanitiser.

 

[Pykie]

Walsh is the new Priddis.

I think after our last 5-6 games to season 2018 and solid off season recruitment there was a reasonable air of positivity and expectation for 2020. However, fist half tonight shows we still lack the desire to be first to the ball. Our kicking in play, a weakness for quite a while, still evident. Still a half game of football but if we give away more easy goals....

Least Carlton are having a crack this quarter, and the same tired and predictable sooks and whiners
have a tissue fest. Put on Netflix if the game bores you that much.

2 medals buddy

Haha I was gonna pull him up on this but was not sure enough.

 

[Bazzar]

Feel so sory for Cripps.

 

[The Warlord]

In this troubled world that seems to change on its head every minute, it is comforting to know that Carlton are reliably shit year in year out.

 

[Cyber_punk]

AFL really needs to give Carlton's spot to another club. Collingwood or Geelong would draw a crowd as big and actually be competitive. This opener is very stale.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Ling just said Murphy has been "solid" tonight. He's butchered near everything he's touched.

 

[MadMundy]

Can we rule out Paddy Dow as a bust?

 

[Astro_]

The world may have changed, but Carlton haven't. Still rubbish

 

[prisoner777]

We are repeating our experience with Juddy...not enough support for Cripps!

Take the curtain raiser off the blue turds FFS. Embarrassing.

To be honest though, this is the first time that they are actually getting smashed like this. It's usually some sort of a contest

 

[The King!]

need one of those worms like for political debates

so at home we can vote if the umpiring is currently shit or not

 

[Great8]

Dow playing like his Index namesake....tanking big time

Don’t forget Jones
Both tanking like All Ordinaries

 

[ziad]

Time to call it:

• Carlton have too many payers who are not wanting a contest
• Carlton lack skill and composure - see above
• Umpire 10 is the worst in several decades - and there have been some doozies

 

[Chief]

Getting the live scores looked at. Seems to have choked.
