Rd 18: Post Game Pandemonium: Carlton vs Brisbane

[blue4life]

Aaron James is the next Wayne Carey

Simon Beaumont all Australian.

He had the likes of Judd and Pendlebury pegged very early.

Like really, a Carlton player gets a bit of recognition and all supporters can do is shoot the messenger. People must live in a total world of negativity. Not directed at you but generally amongst many supporters.

If it was anyone else but Dermie, Leigh Matthews for example, some supporters might have taken it seriously.
Curnow is a genuine talent and Carlton supporters are well aware of the fact.

There are times when Dermie's football knowledge astounds me ... and this was one of them 

I've probably harped on about this but I had a chat to Ed about Charlie after the Essendon NAB game in 2016 and Ed reckoned that Charlie was an elite mark and would be an absolute star.  Brotherly bias to one side, I think Ed, and Dermie, are on the money.

He could well become a star and I hope that he does, but as things stand with the CFC the last thing we should be doing is hyping up our players in my opinion.
We lost to the bottom side yesterday and never looked like winning.

I actually thought we were going to run over the top of them but I take your point.

It's not really hyping players up, it's more about recognising genuine talent and looking forward to a brighter future.

The game was over at quarter time.
As for looking forward I feel like I've been doing that for decades although it's only been a bit over 15 years, so many promises,  false dawns and next big things.
I'm happy that we've finally bitten the bullet and are prepared to do the hard slog, and I'm prepared to wait, but meanwhile I'm keeping my powder dry.

I couldn't believe that the umpire let that one go.  The only possible excuse is that the umpire thought that Plowman was faking it.  Perhaps all of the umpires should be punched in the guts so that they know what effect it has.

Flosser also slapped the ball out of Lachies hands after he marked it too... 50m was in order I thought. Alas, as I recall, Lachie just fetched the ball and took his kick into a wall of set up lions :-\
Look at the vision of Lachie after that hit. Poor bugger was clearly not pretending.

So how does the umpire not do something on the spot? How does he determine Play was faking yet the MRP determine he wasn't? Could he not have just kept faking?

Bad day up there for those umps, obvs MRP agreed

I don't get AFL coaches, Dangerfield an injured star has to anchor himself within 25m of goal, dominates and very next game they have him running all over the field half fit! Perplexing!

Our coaches are just the same, just as bad!

Megalomaniacs with a plan, how about just playing the good footballers where they can play good football!

It was bad - but we played worse.

It was terrible.  Many times I rose to my feet to question a lack of a decision in Carlton's favour and I only recall two occasions where Lions supporters did the same.  Yet they rose to their feet for every goal they scored.  The lack of AFL news up here is staggering.  We certainly haven't won the hearts and minds of the locals.  The Gary Pert decision made the seventh back page of today's paper and that included the Toby Greene suspension.  I am guessing that it was front or back page in Victoria - just because of the Collingwood prejudice. There is no other AFL news.  I have had to resort to the internet for anything else pertaining to AFL.  >  >  >  >
