Pie player should be rubbed out for trying to headbutt Daisy's shoulder.
As above, Burton got off, Daisy gets off. Then again, this is the AFL and it is Micheal "does what he's told" Christian.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

you forgot daisy gets the Navy Blue jumper loading penalty of x 10.
What normal players get off for, ours get fined for, and what normal players get fined for, we get a week for. If a normal player gets a week, expect Daisy to get 3.

Haven’t seen it on the replay, but at the game Ed Curnow’s elbow on Pendlebury didn’t look good.....

Here's my rant...sorry could be long but have posted once in 3 years...I've hit the snap point
Lets start with this matchup...Cam Polson today 1 kick 3 handballs v Dogs Billy Gowers 16k 6hb 12m...2nd best for Dogs last night..Andy Gowers-Hawthorn son..we delisted him last year after no opportunities...plays tough with mongrel...delisted the wrong G...Nic Graham almost 50 AFL games and continues soft loopy chip passes and we get fooled by his Bullants form 35 fluffy possies....SOS you made the call on that one and don't get on radio and say we can't change what happened in the past that call was on your watch
Kane Lambert...sure on Malthouse watch..2/3 years Bullants no games...Tiger Premiership player and in their top 5 elite players...never given a chance....we must have had an elite list last 10 years not to give these guys a look/run...NOT!!!!
I hear the Bagger drums from the old guard are beating hard for a change of our invisiible Prez...a Matheson puppet...the Carlton legends and I've spoken to a few want to see the farm taken back 1-12 is totally excruciating to this proud club
Could be a George Harris old style 1970's coup in the wind...have to take us off the Matheson's pokies money tit...too much influence...hard to replace the cashflow...but the soul of the club needs to be restored
Sorry Macca...also as GM loved you as a dour no.5 premiership back flanker and AA rep...but you read the news and injury updates out like you are a vet telling us your dog should get the needle or have a $2.5k knee Reco sorry mate your no Neil Balme 3 flags as Footy GM at 3 clubs....Where's Cain Little...ever heard from him CEO?
There endeth the rant
Would have taken 20 points pre the game...dumb me didn't take the points....I was proud of them today...they showed a lot 2 down but we have deeper problems at the top end in my view

Much better effort today. If they can bring that effort every week then we will be a lot more competitive against most sides. Losing Cas before the game and replacing him with O'shea put us behind the eight ball before the bounce. FFS why replace a big guy with a small guy who is a spud!!!!! Some observations.
SOS - A horrible first quarter. 3 howlers in row before steadly improving throughout the game. Something to work with.
Charlie - Boy am i looking forward to watching this guy tear teams apart in the future.
Dow - Really like how this guy is progresing had the glasses on him and his work in close is first class for an 18 year old. Will only get better.
Kennedy - Played a full game for the first time this year and showed that he can add something to the team.
Cripps - What a beast. Please please Carlton sign him up untill he's 30. Heart and soul of the club and a future captain.
O'Brien - First year player who runs and runs. That run and kick to Charlie was first class.
Weitering - Much better game today. Hope he gets some confidence from today and finishes off the year on a high.

Given our curse with injuries I was pleased with our boys performance.
To lose (displace in Rowe's case) your bookends before the bounce is a tough gig every day of the week. Not to mention losing another 2 key players, limiting us to 60 rotations. The challenge couldn't have been greater. I was proud of the way our leaders rallied the troops (Well perhaps not all of them. A few were MIA) to fight till the end.
Crippa and Charlie were outstanding. Say no more.
Ed, Simmo, Jonesy, and Daisy led by example. Super effort.
Sam Rowe managed to pull off an amazing feat. Playing forward with a minutes notice. Then switching to the ruck at a minutes notice. He held his own for the most part and did it with g & d until the end.. take a bow Sam. You did the club proud.
Mat Kennedy finally got an injury free run. He showed enough to suggest he'll be a great partner for Crippa.
Samo started well but seemed to fade a bit. Fish was a bit quiet by his already high standards. How cool was his little don't argue!. O'Brein's running is a weapon. Looking forward to see him add more strings to his bow. Dow was in it for much longer and geez he goes in fearlessly and is improving his DE. Young Polson ran hard and attacked with intent. Still work in progress though.
Weiters had a solid game. Progressing slowly but surely. As is Jack. Loved his run down tackle late in the game.
Matty Wright was unusually inaccurate. Hopefully he'll bounce back.
Garlett "nearly" 2 goals early on. That could have knocked the wind out of their sails... Hopefully he nails those in time and builds a 4q game.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Yep. Charlie is his own man and will be an absolute star in his own right.
Reality always wins in the end.

Some forking moron at the Post-Match presser asked BB what he thought about the jumper clash.
I didn't think anyone could find a way to make BT appear intelligent, but they have, which just about sums up the modern AFL media!
That is one moment that actually has made me miss MM!

The media reporting on this game is strange, apparently Pendles was BOG, and the pies accounted for a spiteful Carlton after a spray.
FMD, if Peddles was tagging he was flogged, and Grundy (and the entire midfield) took a long time to get on top considering there was no ruck opposition. Hoskin-Elliot and Stephenson, yes they kicked goals on a couple of crabs, but so they should have.
I want to know what " Mr Clean " Pendles did to make him a target, and thought that the pies' less feted players such as Howe and Phillips did the real damage.
Morale of story, don't read the small paper for footy reporting.
