Round 9 Carlton v Sydney-In Game Thread

[laj]

Second half, just tell the players to run and take it on. If we get pumped so be it. We just have to learn how to get that aspect of our game going again. Haven't seen it since Round 23 last year.

Another HTB to us missed!!!

Barker needs to create history here...burn $5000 for criticising umpires in his first game.

You are right Laj, it must be brought to the attention of everybody.
What is the free kick count?

[laj]

Tackles up to 34. Think that equals our total 4 qtr "effort" from the last few games.

Commentators r even more insidious now...they completely gloss over umpires now. ...not critical just Endorsement of all umpires decisions and non decisions....

Hard to do against Sydney on that narrow ground - run that is.  And I also don't think they have the fitness to sustain a running game.

I had issues with Ratten as a coach but since he left our run has vanished.  And the fitness that went with it.

Umpiring un-f-king-believable

This is a joke.

Just as infuriating as watching it is listening to the commentators ignore it.

What about Nick Graham getting slung out of a scrimmage without the ball and just ignored?

They've definitely put in.  Cripps has laid a good chunk of those.

[Professer E]

Macavaney is parodied perfectly by the third man... "Jetta.... Goodes... Budd.....y  uh uh uh.  Special".

[jeza]

Goodes celebration was a joke.

What a w@nker.

Scoreline flatters Swans. Our blokes their own worst enemy though. Letting themselves down with kicking constantly.

Yep.
