Without Cripps, they are nothing.

He’s a gun isn’t he.

Unfortunately. Was the only one that got them back in the game in the last 15 minutes, imo.

The Blooze board is a pearler!!

 

[Bramax]

I'll never be conviced otherwise that Voss is a decent coach. Deadset has NFI. Carlton have to belt teams at clearances otherwise they are rendered useless.

I’m assuming you meant you’ll never be convinced that Voss is a decent coach.
Take a gander at the Blues board and see what they think of Voss’s coaching.

General observation: watching last night’s game I no longer have a clue what constitutes holding the ball, incorrect disposal, throwing the ball.

What confuses me is the “ball came out in the tackle”.

Surely if a player takes possession of the footy (and these days that’s adjudicated very strictly) then said player is responsible for disposing of the ball correctly?

It's been a massive issue this year, for mine. Players know this is being called and are taking advantage of it by just dropping the ball when they feel any contact. Should have been the adjustment early/mid-year rather than the whole 360 degree spin thing.

Pretty how the Blues fans are feeling at this stage of the season.

Just in case anyone was searching for this, here it is again. Gets better every time we beat them.

What about the “he tried to dispose of it” call from one of the umpires under a Pendlebury [?] tackle. Pendles gave the ump a spray, as much as you can these days anyway. Clear incorrect disposal.

Cripps dragged it in and hatched it on a couple of occasions with a ball up the [wrong] decision.

Then there was the another tackle on the flank, might’ve been Beau, had the Carlton player stone cold, ump says no prior - a nonsense given how it’s been umpired this year.

This is so laughable, since when has an attempt been sufficient? I don't blame the umps, theyre just doing what they're told. I blame the AFL for confusing all involved.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Agree

They've returned back to how it was earlier in the season where 'incorrect disposal' no longer exists.

Have to hand it to Cripps, he was unstoppable for them in the last quarter.

Number 10 is developing nicely, might be a player.

 

[IlovethePies]

Carlton's 5 goals in the 4th was so unimpeded from the center bounce really.


Mitchell is very much missed once De Goey went out

Unfortunately, this is very true.

Rising Star nominee?

But it’s sooo inconsistent now as the season progresses.

Earlier in the season, if you had two hands on the ball, get tackled, and didn’t get a clean kick or handball away it got called. Super fast. Virtually no prior required. It was easy to understand.

Did it go too far? Maybe. But it was consistent. And everybody knew what to expect.

Now the interpretation has been softened and we’re back to wishywashy calls from game to game, and really, contest to contest.

It’s on the umps and the umps department for letting it get back to this.

Interestedly JDG only attended 3 centre ball bounces last night. Definitely missed his presence after he went off, but not necessarily from the centre.

Agree, we really miss Mitchell in there.

Jesus, it gets worse the longer you look at it. AI really does come up with some cursed shit.
