Game Day Round 8, 2023 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

[M Malice]

That was awesome pressure from us, elite stuff. I am Happy!

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Carlton are our bunnies. The only loss recently coming in 2019, which took a legit all-time performance from Cripps and all-time collapse from us.

Is it normal to have really bad memories from that game still

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Good quarter. One of the better ones. Was expecting Carlton to kick a few early but gee whiz we didn’t even give them a chance.

 

[M Malice]

Bloody great quarter. Now finish it off.

Yes bloody bury them, do not let up the pressure, we look like a team on a mission tonight.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

No greater sight than seeing fair weather blues supporters up and leave at 3qtr time.

Brilliant quarter from us. Bailey is having an absolute blinder, and sharpy has worked himself into this game quite well.

 

[Mayestro]

Dunks with a lazy 27 disposals, 10 tackles, 5 clearances and 500 meters gained to 3 quarter time.

 

[Jivlain]

Are we a gun defensive team now

What was the scores at 3/4 time last time we played them?

Pretty similar tbh
13.11 to 4.8

 

[NotQuiteJezza]

Too many passengers yet we're beating a good team away from home?

McCluggage has been good.

Sharpe, McCluggage and Wilmot all had better quarters.

I'd blacked it out until the mentions this week

 

[Nathan Barley]

Interesting what we do with Lyons. With the way our midfield is playing I'd almost just out him in the forwardline

 

[martinson]

Some of the things Cameron does border on genius.

No small forward in the game within cooee of him.

It sounds mean when we're 40 points up but I'd love a marking target up forward.

Weitering is crook. Why on earth sub Young out ?

If we had someone who could take a grab they'd have no hope.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Yes. Was an annoying day and the cocky Carlton fans gave it to us on the way out, gave me similar vibes to walking out Round 5, 2010. For those who remember that night as well.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I don't think we've played a bad quarter since the first against North. 14 good quarters in a row

 

[Hollow Knight]

Vossy secretly loving it.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Get the feeling we'll cough up a few in this quarter but still a great performance

 

[dlanod]

My youngest just asked me if Carlton are big fans of the Giants. Now it's "they probably are."

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kiddy back on

 

[jonnobackpocket]

We are a serious serious football side when we on. Please finish it off boys I have so many messages ready to go.

 

[Squizz89]

Kiddy’s back out there. If there’s no damage done to the scoreboard in the first 5 minutes I’d be taking him off and putting Lyons on.

 

[p4p1]

I’m sure Vossy is going to take most of the heat for this loss, but **** me Carlton have a lot of below average players. Excellent top end talent but not enough and the drop off after that is so steep. They’ve had heaps of busts that they have recruited.

Kiddy off, Rayner back and JL forward?

 

[Saucery]

What are you on about ?

Ok so it's like this, Gunston is a lead up forward, Joe is a ruck relief who really needs to do that role or he can just get left behind in a game and never get his hands on it.

If you want to play Fort and Big O in the same team then Joe really has no role.

Unless you play Joe as a ruck/forward he hardly gets his hands on the ball and loses confidence quickly.

So it's Big O and Fort or Joe, Gunston is a lead up forward, a role we have no one else to play.

It's been this way since Joe's Essendon days, just ask them.

 

[dlanod]

Vossy secretly loving it.

Assuming we don't shit the bed here we've knocked off three premiership players with only Chris Scott to go.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rayner always starts the quarter in the middle but does nothing

 

[dlanod]

High on Rayner clearly
