Round 15 Post Game Thread - Blues v Tigers

[Professer E]

Can someone explain FA to me... Apparently higher clubs pinch players from lower postioned clubs, who get picks to help them rebuild.

So we lose our only true forward, who apparently wasn't worth any compensation....

Is it just me or is the AFL toying with us?

[JonDorotich]

Problem remains our bottom 5 or so players. White, Wood, Tutt & Fields (on tonight's evidence) look very much like solid VFL players, but very average AFL reps. Missed handpasses in general play killed us, along some very poor field kicking from Carazzo and Yarran in particular.

Tall order with your two key defenders missing against a team who has two genuine key forward.

[Baggers]

In the last two weeks we've held sides to a losing score (19 goals total) but haven't been able to capitalise. 12 goals in two weeks is deplorable. Hendo has lost the plot, maybe not wanting to hurt himself before going to the Cats? Yazz and Menzel have been very ordinary. Everitt can only play loose on the forward line, is way too timid to be a hard and defensive player.

Freo and the Dawks over the next two weeks. Gulp.

Hopefully they can both pulverize each other on the weekend, enough for the effects to be felt for 2 weeks.

Yes! You just worked that out? :o

Interesting to see what the MRP does with Vickery. The guy's an absolute tosser.

Went out of his way to bump, never had eyes for the ball, in fact - ball was 50 metres away.  Jamo wasn't looking and couldn't protect himself. Weak as p!ss, low dog act.

Surely it's time for us to get on the front foot and express our disgust BEFORE some lame excuse or non-action from the AFL.  As plenty of other forum members have said - we've become the soft touch club.

Even though Jamo's concussion wasn't an accident - has there ever been a club who's lost a crucial player inside the opening few minutes of a game as many times as Carlton has?

Last couple of games we played unsociable football, but today we were sociable  :o
Richmond were just plain dirty tonight

So behind the play = intentional, straight to tribunal.

Intentional, high contact and high impact, plus poor record.

Six weeks you mangy dog.

I can't believe the commentators on channel 7 saying Vickery on Jamo shoulder block to the head was a complete accident and only the head connected. Clearly the shoulder strikes the head of Jamo as Vickery blocks or uses a sceening technique to fend jamo away from the contest.

Then in incident numer 2, Kreuzer goes for a contest and accidentally strikes Vickery in the mouth with his elbow. This is deemed to be a worry because it knocked a tooth out of his mouth. He never looked at Vickery and never tried to strike him. Complete accident.

As for the mark that wasn't given to Kreuzer. he towers over his opponent by 10cm. Leaps 10cm higher than the man in front. Longer arms have him fully extended and nearly 12 inches above his opponent taking the ball. How does the man in front get paid the mark when he scoops the ball out of his hands.

Yet Vickery attempts a mark in the last quarter and only touches the ball for a split second once and drops the ball. Yet he is paid the mark. The umpires got it wrong on so many occasions tonight. no wonder we lost confidence early in the game. I feel sorry for Barker as we were never a chance tonight. We were out numbered on the field. Maggots+Tigers was never going to work our way once we lost Jamo in the first quarter.

Hardwick better not be happy with this game. his side isn't that good and will be exposed before the season ends. Umpires won't always give a one sided affair when it comes to free kicks.
