Curnow has been ordinary now for weeks. Carrots hasn't been able to shut guys down as well at the moment, but he is getting quite a few clearances. His form is considerably better than Curnow's at the moment.

We cannot drop Carrazzo ahead of Curnow or Ellard, because it would be rewarding Ellard and Curnows poor form both who have been far less influential than Carrazzo, it sends the wrong messages!

Two games running we've sat Goddard on his ass. How did this unfold?
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Firstly, you're not allowed to hit Goddard too hard, remember McLean!

Secondly, he's a great actor, perhaps among the AFLs stop 3.

We don't sit anybody on their ar5e and especially not using Gibbs as the enforcer!

As for Chapman's 20 minutes off. It's typical of a bully, he had to go and hide somewhere to stop crying from someone actually standing up to the little prick! Wink

Good on Yazz, finally he's had enough of the sniper Chapman!

It's the best thing a few of our blokes could do this season, sets up a mindset for the future!

And FMD, Gibbs the enforcer! It's fecking embarrassing for Goddard!

No, they clearly tried to put pressure on the lippy sod from what I saw.  Gibbs committed to a charge (good old fashioned hip and shoulder) that landed on Goddard late, and his shoulder clipped Goddards ear, who sooked up big time and made sure all and sundry knew about it.  He looked stunned that somebody actually had the temerity to line him up.

Didn't hurt him, can't see Gibbs getting rubbed out for it, though Watson et al. did the usual hatchet job.

Bitterly disappointed that Gibbs couldn't even lay the hip in properly... in fact I'd put it does as yet another clanger stat for him on the day.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

TB4 was obviously around then too...lol.

Thanks

I didnt expect to win...but when we came back in the last carrots had a critical moment on the half forward flank,  if he executed a good kick to a player a goal would bring us in within 2 kicks...just a clear example these blokes have run their race ....time to move on these old players and rebuild.

Harsh, had 25 posses at 80% efficiency in a tagging role. He contributed today.
