VFL Round 3 Carlton v Collingwood 2.05pm Sunday 14th April

[Kappa]

Footy becomes unwatchable when these moronic umps think they need to be involved in every contest and decide who gets a goal and when.

When someone is ducking and a hand lightly touches the top of their shoulder, just play on for christ sake.

 

[No SPIN]

I’m struggling to understand why we persisted with Carmichael instead of opening up that spot for a Long.

How would we do that mid season?

 

[nahnah]

Begg and Carmichael dont show much promise. Sully, Jaith, Bytel, Markov all good that quarter. HH and Allan need to improve disposal

 

[Bianconeri]

How would we do that mid season?

I’m not talking about mid season

 

[JOELY]

Carlton seem like they're feilding a pretty inexperienced team this year. Feel like this is one we should be winning.

So you’re saying we should have cut JC - and added Long even before seeing him play a game?
That’s just fantasy- unless you had a crystal ball.

 

[swoop42]

Remember.

The deal for Ginnivan got us an exchange of picks and an upgrade inside the top 40 that allowed us to jump Hawthorn for Jiath.

He looks a great prospect and hopefully DeMattia is the same when he returns.

 

[Kappa]

Johnson looks so stiff and uncoordinated

 

[Apex36]

How the **** was that a late bump? It literally affected the kick

 

[danielnajdek]

Getting sick of these umpires.

Doesn’t help that they’ve got a bunch of blokes in fluro playing for them

 

[JOELY]

Umpire number 9 is enjoying the spotlight. Lot of over umpiring in this one.

 

[ksardog]

Someone please teach Allen how to tackle, putting your arms around someone ain’t doing shit, show some intent and vigour when you tackle

Over umpiring except for when Collingwood players are being held

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Chalk up the assist for Harvey there.

 

[Doc1763]

made hard work of that!

 

[Kes1984]

Any danger of a holding the man free being paid?

I’m only half watching and I’ve seen a few blatant holding the man just ignored.

 

[Bianconeri]

Joe Richards is class, got picked up by the wrong club IMO.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Someone please teach Allen how to tackle, putting your arms around someone ain’t doing s**t, show some intent and vigour when you tackle

He doesn’t look strong enough to play inside yet.

 

[Kappa]

Chalk up the assist for Harvey there.

He's clean in traffic which is nice

 

[ksardog]

That was typical Crocker moments from years ago, thankfully Harrison and Richards cleaned the mess up

 

[Bianconeri]

So you’re saying we should have cut JC - and added Long even before seeing him play a game?
That’s just fantasy- unless you had a crystal ball.

Long was already on a list, he’d already played games…

 

[stormskye]

Steene in ruck and we win the clearance…

 

[swoop42]

Long wasn't invited to train as an SSP candidate so wasn't eligible to be added to our AFL list using this process.

I assume the non invitation of him in preference of others is the angst being caused right now among some albeit everything is easier in hindsight.

If we like what we've seen come the MSD then there is still a chance he'll be available at our selection should we open up a space.

 

[ksardog]

He doesn’t look strong enough to play inside yet.

Jiath is skinnier, he shows intent, it’s just a mindset. He has got the wingspan of an albatross, needs to get an edge to his game.
