Robbo fell to the deck clutching his shin... Not sure what that was about.
As much as we probably liked to see it...and agree that the lack of a free kick to Casboult just prior was a poor decision......
It was an undisciplined act by Casboult and was a response made in anger and frustration.
Bolton will probably have a quiet word to him about it.

So far I've liked Gorringe marking and around the goals. What I noticed today was he's clean below the knees, especially for a guy his size. He repeatedly scooped the pill off the deck and passed off effectively. Perhaps our coaching staff have a plan building up his box of tricks with a position in mind. Not sure what, but his athleticism and height may be difficult to match in the right possie.
Earned his spot for mine.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

It's not good if Christensen's shoulder was dislocated.

It might be a collarbone rather than a shoulder. I don't know enough about sports injuries or human anatomy, but I imagine a broken collarbone is less serious than a broken shoulder.

It's a bit deceptive that the commentators keep referring to him as Everitt.
They do look rather similar and have a number starting with '3' on their back.
Would also explain a lot of the man-love for everitt of late.

Gorringe's goal of playing as a midfielder doesn't seem that far-fetched. The club's idea of using him as a tall half forward
I still think he lacks the physical attributes to be a genuine ruckman but he is agile, covers the ground well, has good hands and uses the ball well. He is definitely worth persevering with and I reckon he could have value as a half forward who takes a turn in the midfield and pinch hits in the ruck.
On the subject of pinch hitting in the ruck, Rowe showed some hops today :o He didn't get his hands on the ball that often but he was jumping all over Marten and West at centre bounces.

Some observations.
Walker been playing for 13 years, still won't do a drop punt when running into an open goal. has to do the stupid curl it around his shoulder, through his legs, up his clacker kick, and then cracks it when he misses. Has never learnt, and will never learn.
Nick Graham, just not up to AFL level. He's the type of player that I describe as being too good for VFL, but not good enough for AFL.
Gibbs did his usual, I have played one great game, think I'll have a rest, thing.
Kerridge was unimpressive early, but got better and better as the game progressed to be one of our best.
Love Weitering, no more comment necessary.
Gorringe getting better around the ground, but still got no idea at the centre bounces.
Ploughman improving. Sam Doc, should get All Australian.
Now, I take into account the fact that they played out of their skins last week and there was a six day turnaround. I also take into account that playing at Etihad on what is a harder surface than the MCG, takes it out of players legs.
Notwithstanding all of that, they played like Millionaires in the last half, particularly in the last quarter. It should have been a 10 goal win which is about Brisbanes average losing margin this year. But it was a 38 point win, because they stuffed around with thoughtless play and stupid handball.
Frankly, it was sickening to watch.
Judging by Bolts understated comments at the Press conference, he is fully aware that what they produced particularly in the last quarter against a very ordinary team was not acceptable.
Let's just imagine for a moment that we are equal on points with another team after the last round. How are we going to feel if we finish 9th, but would have made the 8 had we kicked another 4 goals, or prevented Brisbane from scoring 4 goals in the last quarter as they did.
It was lazy, unacceptable football, reminiscent of the, dare I say it, Malthouse era.
As Bolts says, we are on a journey, and it is a continual learning process.
Lets hope that Bolton and the coaching staff can rid the players of this lazy type of play just because they think that they have a team on toast.
They have no better example than the way North dismantled Richmond on Friday night. Yes, Richmond had 3 down, but North put the screws in, and never let up, gaining a 70 point win.
That's what we should have done today.
Lets hope that the 7 day break and playing at 4.00 p.m. sees them coming out hard and tough and relentless against St. Kilda next week.
Almost forgot. LOVE BYRNE!!!!!!!!!!!
