[Fadge]

Missing Bont, Treloar, Weightman and Jones too. Concerning for the cooked Pies.

You guys should take care of them easily then next week...

Or not.

Blaming umps is like blaming the weather, soft

So you don't think umpires can have a significant impact on a result?

 

[Mr Meow]

Pendlebury, Daicos and Sidebottom with 28 score involvements between them.

Cripps, Walsh and Acres with 5 score involvements between them.

Despite the first group including a couple of pensioners, they simply linked up and used the ball better.

It made a huge difference to the final result.

This is a non-umpiring comment if that is allowed here.

Wasn't the game on Thursday night one of the highest pressure rated games in the last few years according to CD?

Not in the last QTR. When you went to water as usual

 

[JustaBattler]

Wah Wah Umpires.

Eventually you might realise your team is just shite.

Or not.

hard for you to comprehend and follow a discussion about numbers adding up to more than 20 - it is ok we all understand your cognitive limitations "differences"

btw 4 point IS 4 points congrats!

Yeah, Carlton were sooooo brave!

You know Panama isn't really an off season holiday destination tho? Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico far better for getting on the pina colada's.

Panama a bit of a snooze of a country.

Firstly I quite enjoyed Panama. Secondly it is nothing to do with a holiday destination. The whole Mexican jibe was about being South of the Border.

 

[South of the Yarra]

My team didn't play tonight. My word.

They didn’t play last night either.

 

[Mr Meow]

Go to sleep Meowbagger, you're acting like that tossbag we all detest again. Come back when you're off the beers and have rediscovered your non melt self.

It's 12:30pm mate. Apologies if I'm upsetting you though.

Correct

Extremely rare for umps to affect a result, sure as shite didn't happen tonight

this thread isn't about 'bravery' or Sh*tness in your case - it is about who finishes higher out of two middling sides or havent you figured that out yet?

There are players that know what it takes to influence games, and then there are the likes of Cripps, Walsh and Acres...

Very much allowed.

Collingwood has players who are proven winners who hit the scoreboard.

Carlton has individuals who don't hurt on the scoreboard, but get plenty of the ball so their fans can quote stat summary and pretend the big average players are actually good.

Well they did.

What would a Carlton supporter know about 4 points in 2025?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Well they did.

Not very well

Cripps can do it, although his ball use is still scrappy. The other two are looking scared or confused with ball in hand their past 10 or so games.

 

[carlton_99]

Not very well

So we did play? Cool.

 

[YeoShuey]

I think we'll lose next week because the umpires will makeup for their pathetic performance this week.

It's 2025 - Carlton aren't middling, they're back amongst the bottom 4 where they are most comfortable.

Meanwhile, Pies are 2 and 1 after 3 games against last year's finalists. Will take that any day of the week.

Don't worry the boys will be back in form by the time we get to play your mob again - and pants 'em again.

cheerio

You played Cool? I would have thought more ‘cold’

The way I see it is that Carlton lack finishers and big match clutch players. You can trust Macrae's Pies more in those tense moments compared to Voss' Blues. A couple of games in 2023 were the only time the latter looked like stepping up in that way.

Too many undamaging accumulators and scrappers at Carlton.

Mr Meow is the nicest Geelong fan I’ve ever met

The trajectories of our sides since then has been very different. Carlton have been a bottom 4 performer since.
