Rd 12: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs GWS

[laj]

Here's my pregame drivel

Fair chance for sure. I've tipped Giants, so we're in with a chance according to my 2017 tipping stats

See, I've got absolutely no idea. Never been happier to lose a tip ;D
So I've got nothing to lose right.... I predict we play finals this year. But as im pretty sure that's impossible, I'll predict we'll play finals next year. There, now you have my post game drivel fwiw ^-^

I tipped the Giants too. So far I have one winner this week, relying on Melbourne to make it 2...lol.

It's probably fair to say that if you went through the posts on any football club's fan sites that the majority of postets would consider that the umpiring is generally biased against their club.
It's difficult for passionate Carlton supporters not to watch games through a Navy Blue lens, some would say it's impossible.
I know that I do.

I do. I enjoy going on Big Footy during a game of the side that's losing. Besides the meltdown two things are very common. 1) the umpire cheats and 2) they want the coach sacked...lol.

And whoever picked x instead of y is an imbecile.

Yes, forgot about that one. It's as common as the other two.

Another reason to love Bolt's and his influence.  Post match press conference, talking about Matty K:

"He's just so humble. If you met Kruz and he didn't have a Carlton top on, you wouldn't know he was an AFL footballer....and we want all our players with that sort of attitude."

No di@khead policy alive and well at Carlton.  Don't think there'll be too many bigheads wandering around Ikon Park.  Unlike the mob we played yesterday!

Just got around to checking the quarter by quarter stats to confirm what I 'remembered' from being at the game at that was Fishers strong last quarter. In this he had 7 of his 12 possessions.
I was a bit critical of his early game but pleased to see he had the poise and fitness to run this out really well. His 'Barry Breen' point was important of course - seemed to will himself to a number of contests. Really liking his endeavour (along with many others of course).

I remember thinking at the time that some of the decisions and non-decisions were very iffy, mostly those that happened to favour the Giants! I just got the feeling that the AFL wanted a GWS win to support another premiership tilt - just call me paranoid.  ???

I would argue it looked like a clear free to Kelly that wasnt paid at the end so its swings and roundabouts I guess.

I always wear my blue lensed specs when I go to the footy GTC so frees to the opposition are very hard to see for me.

Thought so

A lot of Collingwood supports are bleating at the moment.
