VFL Rd 9 2024 Carlton vs Gold Coast at Carlton

[crashlander]

We went up one spot even though we lost last week.  >
This week we play Gold Coast who are a shadow of what they were last year. However, they should have a LOT more talent on the park than we can manage.

The game is at Carlton on Saturday morning at 10:25.

I really hope Motlop plays: if he does OK, then he'll be in the 1's next week replacing Fantasia.

Saw something in that qtr you never want to see... Dom A is out marked at FF, his opponent turns and runs into goal and Dom A immediately gave up the chase - just turned and walked away. Yes, it was pretty inevitable (the goal) but to turn and walk away before his opponent had kicked the ball... not on.

[Baggers]

Took eleven minutes of the second, but we've kicked our first - Motlop. And held them goalless so far.

Either are the ones, until they both mirror competitive form we will go no where. Yes I get it we have injuries, just saying.

[Baggers]

Much better qtr from the Baggers.

Held them to 1pt and we kicked 3.5

Billy Wilson is a ripper.

Blues:  3.5
