Round 6 Carlton vs GWS

[BluesMan]

Well yes, you took your opportunities, they didn't.

Just look at the scoreline.

We still out played them. You obviously didnt watch the game if you keep refering to the 'scoreline'

and you know what the scoreline says?? we won

 

[Mountain Giant]

Carlton have played this game perfectly. Well done to them. A big shame we ran out of talls (and legs).

However Carlton won't make it to the semi-finals not quite that level yet.

I did watch the game. And in the end I agree that Carlton deserved to win. Just saying that Freo were in it for the whole match and missing so many set shots was a big factor.

wtf seriously, we did make the semi last year you know that?

Loving the cheers for this bootsman? Dude. Who is he why he getting em?

It's like he's Petey the special kid from one of the American Pie movies.

So we've gone backwards since last year?

 

[IanW]

Excuse me? Two seperate weeks two seperate games. I'm talking about one game on its own, nothing to do with this game, so learn your place before you start talking shit like this.

Like I said, in this thread, here, I really, really wouldnt talk about pressure.

All this game showed me about Carlton is they are first-class downhill skiiers - utterly capable of putting an exhausted side with injured talls to the sword.

But for three quarters, against a team that ran, tackled, harassed and competed, Carlton looked like a side in competition for a spot on the bottom half of the eight.

ffs the ignorance is just rediculous. If you cant see us as top 4 contenders just because we had a stubble in a game we won by 10 goals then you're blind.

I have no time for people with you're thoughts so im not sure why im replying, just stupid.

 

[Mountain Giant]

Oops sorry I literally meant preliminary finals. Isn't the AFL nomenclature for finals backwards? Shouldn't the semi-finals be the penultimate finals round?

Any no. Carlton have not gone backwards but maybe not forwards enough.

Because he has vowels in his name which is catnip for morons. Same as the Kreuuze and Toooves phenomeni.

Downhill skiers? Wouldn't downhill skiers have beaten you by 100+ points and bottled it against the likes of Freo and Collingwood?

 

[laminex]

Now GWS are out of tall bodies and are feeling the effects of a lack of rotations, Carlton are playing some excellent football.

Theres a lesson in this for all of us.

What lesson is that?

That you can be a mouthy **** and show how very little you know about footy?

if so then you learned me mate

Yes, because every team is approaching the GWS game with 100% intensity and how we played in the first 3 quarters is how we play every week and how we will play every week for the rest of the season.

In all of our wins so far this year, the opposition did not run, tackle, harass or compete. Similar margin to the Collingwood game. GWS > Collingwood obviously.

Get back to us when you've won a game.

 

[scomac]

Gws supporters should feel bloody confident of good times ahead,having said that Sheedy resorts to tagging, loading up the backline. seems that a stint in Sydney has given him a Rugby mentality.

 

[Blues_Man]

Im really enjoying this. Hope gws have as good second half

You mean like the swans did against your mob on their home ground ?

Nice effort by the GWS but the talent always rises to the top in the end .

Hang on are you actually saying that 4 of the 5 teams that we played prior to GWS didn't tackle, harass or pressure us to the extent of the mighty giants? You should be a coach! Your side is not AFL standard, you were never going to beat us. Jog on Ian, come back when you have an understanding of the game.

 

[Blues_Man]

I reckon there is an effort by ball winners to play for frees when scragged so opponents will think twice about contact. He was certainly being scragged, but the going to ground was ridiculous. To act like he had been smashed in the guts and stay on the ground was bewildering. It's hard to gauge force or whether he made contact on an out breath or something, but geez you'd go down a hundred times a game if that sends you down. Disappointing Murph.

was holding his nuts when he came up ..so i thing there was a hand in there somewhere.

I don't think Carlton are too worried about only smashing your lot by 11 goals ..they have bigger Fish to Fry ..this week they rested players and came away with the 4 points and no injuries and some reasonable percentage ..now to go back to concentrating on real opponents .

Beaten a top 4 team, check. Second on the ladder, potentially 1st if NM win, check. What else do we have to do to gain a smidgen of respect from anyone?

Only beat GWS by ten goals though brah.

That makes us down-hill skiiers.

Its not the margin - its when you got the margin.

If you'd have done what West Coast did, and come out and thumped us in the first quarter, then took the foot off the pedal, ok. Fair enough.

But what Carlton did was play soft, lazy, easy-option football for four quarters ... and in the fourth quarter, because we'd run out of talls and run out of legs, it worked.

Watch the tape of the first half, and then tell me with a straight face 'Carlton showed me they are a threat for the flag'.

We're obviously the worst 5-1 side ever

This quote actually highlight how much you know about football. Nothing

If you think you can label someone flag threats or not flag threats in one half of football, you're clueless and delusional. Stop embarassing yourself

We don't need to beat up teams this early in the season.

Essendon did that last year and faded come finals time.
