[Evolved1]

Half time advertising for coles must be a joke. The shelves are empty ffs!

Are they selling the fixtures now?

 

[Woody Woodman]

Feel so sory for Cripps.

Me too. Some players don't get a break in their career. We've also had our share.

 

[citizen-erased]

Do not mind the no crowd. I'd even take no commentators.
Carlton need to move out of this time slot. This surely hurts their fans every year being centre stage and getting mauled.

GF replay at the winners home ground, unfurling the flag to start the season.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Teague can only do so much. Too many out there that aren’t up to it. Cunningham, Dow, Gibbons, Silvagni, Setterfield. Just don’t have a point of difference that you can point to consistently and say that is what they bring to the table.

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....

Some people say preseason games mean nothing. It was evident from the very first Marsh game that something wasn't right with Carlton.

 

[The Warlord]

If clubs are going under this season, Carlton has to be first cab off the rank.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Gee Carlton look ordinary. Forward line is way undersized, gotta move Casboult forward in second half?

If they do that, they don't have anyone in the ruck.

 

[SherbertLemon]

You see the players licking their hands and then touching the ball...

Yeah nah sanitise the ball that’ll do the trick.

Crowd or no crowd, Richmond vs carlton opener has to end

 

[Great8]

If the AFL wanted to make money why wouldn’t they give each club 100 tickets each to auction or raffle off?
The lucky fans would still get a whole row each and the club would make a few bucks

Feel so sory for Cripps.

Wonder how long it will take him to decide he's had enough and wants to go to another team that's a chance at winning a premiership. unfortunately he would join the list of brilliant players that deserved a flag when he retires.

 

[The Warlord]

Would have been 90k+ it was pretty much sold out before the crowd was cancelled.

It's an entertainment business...if huge crowds want the fixture, the AFL will do their best to deliver.

Would you prefer 10k on the gold coast?

It is actually a sporting competition.

Flattered by preseason form, but there is still a half to go.

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

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

Pretty hard when we have no talls inside 50 v the best three tall defenders in the AFL.

Not much of a prize if watching this shit is the reward.

The new AFL site sucks and blows at the same time

Not gonna get much resistance from Carlton fans. It’s tired and $hit and some other team can take carlton’s Place

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

FYI I also agree with the sentiments that Carlton should be stripped/taken off the season opening game.

It's not much fun watching us get belted in prime time every year. And it would be nice playing a minnow/cellar dweller like The Suns, Freo or St Kilda, so we might kick of the season with a win for a change.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Normally this part of the game the Auskick kids are running around. Sad they miss out on thier chance to run out onto the G.

 

[telsor]

Lol

Unfortunately fiscally they're one of the most stable ships. There is no justice

 

[Rod Stroker]

need one of those worms like for political debates

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

The worm would be permanently below the equator

It's getting for me like that with Anzac Day every year it's either a flogging or we go down by a goal

 

[My Tilly]

Silvagni is shit. Unbelievable that in today's day and age, the father and list manager of a footy club can bring in his own boys.

Butler could be riding trackwork, but he is the swooper for the average sized talls. Sometimes clubs have to look beyond a formula and take a risk.
