2018 Rd 18: Post Game Partying: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[Micky0]

There's a rumor floating around that Christian has recommended to Hocking that Cripps gets offered a week for the Swallow tackle, but the AFL has yet to tick off on the recommendations! If Cripps isn't cleared it's going to be bullcrap! :o

when does it have to go in by? Tonight or tomorrow?

If he is cited, I sincerely hope CFC do not sit by silently this time....

I normally wouldn't take much notice of this type of rumor, from the person concerned not the rumor, but given the way the Handbaggers complained about Charlie and Ed I'm left a little skeptical.

Interesting votes.
10 - Patrick Cripps (CARL) = 2 x 5
6 - Kade Simpson (CARL) = (1 x 2 + 1 x 4) or (2 x 3)
6 - Charlie Curnow (CARL) = (1 x 2 + 1 x 4) or (2 x 3)
4 - Marc Murphy (CARL) = 1 x 4
2 - Ed Curnow (CARL) = 1 x 2
1 - Sam Petrevski-Seton (CARL) = 1 x 1

Not one commentator suggested he had a problem with that tackle.
The opposite!
The club would have to 'noisily' appeal that decision...to the point of "Don't tread on us anymore...we're done taking it!"

They probably have to look at it because Swallow went off concussed and didn't come back on. But yes, none of the commentators thought there was anything in it. Definitely not two actions and he didn't drive him into the ground with any intent like the Natanui one earlier this year. Cripps is a big guy and if he'd wanted to drive Swallow into the turf and hurt him then it would've been a lot worse.

If Cripps gets cited for that tackle we know for sure there is a witch hunt going on!!

"Drive" is the key word...momentum had them both going forward and none of Cripps's actions after that momentum took over was designed to exaggerate the impact with the ground.
Cripps falls in tandem but because Swallow is slightly lower he takes the hit harder.

[LP]

We can ignore the rumor, the same source told a different person Charlie was being offered a week!

FFS, they can't both be true so they must both be false!

[Lods]

GWS minus Cripps and Charlie....that would be "pretty" :

Pretty ugly!

There was no love for Charlie or Simmo in the Jim Park, could it be one of the coaches just voted for Curnow(Curnow Confusion!)?

I wonder how long since Carlton swept the votes in that award ?
