Rnd 1 Matchday Thread - Richmond Vs Carlton MCG 7:45pm

[BallaratBulldog]

I'm hoping it will be high scoring for the rest of the game.

 

[Adz]

SC scores?

 

[Hawkers]

The game will be decided once it settles into a rhythm.

The Tigers can't keep this up all game but if their 'standard' game (for want of a better word) is solid then they should win the game

Blues will be in trouble


And am I the only one that can't stand Ratten? He is in love with his players. I hated seeing him clap and laugh.

 

[Jentleman Geff]

I hope Carlton's gameplan isn't this front running rubbish. They'll beat a tonne of weaker teams but they won't compete with the top four.

Richmond may have lesser skills but at least they resemble a proper footy side in structure.

[Hawkers]

And Judd is tracking for more brownlow votes

 

[Igloo]

Riewoldt's haircut is the worst I have ever seen.
Conversely, Maric's is the best I have ever seen

Loving the game so far. Feels like real footy

 

[syl]

Jeez. Silky Carrazzo.

What is he meant to do? Snob and hate the players while being depressed?

 

[LordJimmy]

How the hell is a Richmond player with the ball and about six Carlton players circling around him an advantage? Play turned over to a Carlton shot on goal right after the call.

 

[Quivorir]

Still amazes me thornton gets games..

 

[beez]

Ahh Bret, looking to take over Anthony Rocca's mantle of worst 200 game player ever.

 

[ioppolo]

Jarrad Waite already reported aparently? What happened?

 

[Selective Retention]

Man richmond supporter must have heart in mouth whenever they attempt to run the ball out of the backline.

 

[LordJimmy]

Judd is clearly a spectator.

Oh what a shit call that was. Stop trying to keep Carlton in this you idiots.

 

[Igloo]

Richmond defense taking their sweet time to get rid of the ball whenever they get it.

Soft free kick. But that was pretty stupid by Nahas.

 

[Angus Young]

I don't think the Vickery free was that bad. It was soft but the umpires are going to jump on anything around the head/neck.

i'm sorry but that was the softest and gayest free kick which cost a team a goal and was not in the spirit of the game and that umpire needs to have a holiday or start coach netball. it wasnt even near his head. even if it was who cares if two players push and shove each other??? just bounce the ball and stop ruining the game.

just as bad as the gws v sydney one where they took the ball off the sydney forward because two players were pushing and shoving. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.

 

[Underdog]

Free kick to Yarran was crap. Was more of a push in the side.

 

[Tigersuperstar4]

Giving away a free while your teammate is running towards an open goal...WHO DOES THAT.

 

[LordJimmy]

Jarrad Waite already reported aparently? What happened?

Charged into a Richmond player getting up off the ground, smashed his head in. You'll have to see the replay in more detail to gauge how much time he had to think about what he was doing, but it was pretty poor.

 

[Quivorir]

Wow. Whole quarter late..

Relax it's all fair the umpire made up for it with the free kick just then.

 

[jonesy86]

Umps even up with Vickery, soft free for goal in 1st qtr and then take one away in the 2nd.

 

[boat13]

good to hear leigh give bruce a whack for his stupid comment

skill levels are low at the moment

 

[The Speaker]

Ahh Bret, looking to take over Anthony Rocca's mantle of worst 200 game player ever.

You are a buffoon, Coondogs.

Anthony Rocca has clearly earned his 200 games. He has been the focal point up forward a Collingwood team that has gone close to a premiership on more than one occasion, and he's kicked 411 goals for his career, despite playing a large portion of it at CHF.

When he's in the side, he ALWAYS draws the best defender, which would indicate that the coaches know a lot more about his ability than you do.

But you're a Dogs fan - It wouldn't surprise me if you've forgotten what value a KP forward has.
