Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 23: Carlton vs Geelong

And the winner is __________

Cats by a mile.

Goal review reflects the effectiveness and professionalism of the AFL.

I've never seen a team appeal for so many free kicks.
While that's a criticism of Geelong pussies, it merely feeds into the hands of pathetic umpiring decisions.
It's a circus.

Any paper over any cracks has been wrenched away.

Well, Teaguey, now you can clearly see just how much work you have to do.

Cats are pretenders.
Out in straight sets me thinks.

We knew that. 6-5 in the last 11 matches with an awful draw in that time is a good effort. We're not top 4 level yet, as we found against the Cats, Tigers and Eagles, but we knew that and something we have to build further towards. Just another step along the journey.

Get a couple of mature bodies over the trade period.

Play Dow, Fisher, LOB in the 2s until - and I mean until - they can dominate at that level.

The three of them are a waste of space in the 1s.

That's not to say they won't become players, but....

That officially puts an end to the roller coaster that was 2019.

I for one and happy to put that in the rear view mirror and look forward to the upcoming trade period which will have a HUGE say in how our 2020 season will go.

It’s all good guys. We only need a few things to make it work for us next season. Two elite small forwards with x-factor. One elite mid. Cripps, Walsh, Murphy and Curnow can’t carry the squad. One elite rebounding defender with pace and x-factor. A quality Ruckman would help. Plus no windy days. Rain too. No umpires. Players to skill up on kicking between the BIG posts. Yes. The big f@cking ones. The posts in the f@cking middle you f@cking over paid morons. It’s not f@cking rocket science. No Buddhist monks, seventh day Adventist’s or archbishops in the crowd. Sorry, forgot to mention Donald Trump. Then it will all work out. I will play my role and work on the crowd. Unfortunately the rest is up to the club. I can’t be expected to do everything can I?

[madbluboy]

The wind change killed us.

[capcom]

Judicious cuts required.  A fair few we now know will never make it.
