In Game Assignations: AFL Rd 6: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[madbluboy]

3/4 time.

17-9 free kicks for the dogs.

Umps try an even up in the last usually....

That's when we're 10 goals down. They are going to will the doggies home.

[PaulP]

Bulldogs have a little momentum - the last will be a very good test of our character. 3 goals is definitely achievable in a game like this.

[LoveNavy]

Cripps and Betts have been playing injured since the first quarter. Cripps is a liability when playing on Bont now, needs to go forward or get off the ground.

Williamson coped one too.

The beauty of being a Carlton supporter in the current era, 18 points in front at 3/4 and as nervous as #@$@!.

Back in the 80s it'd be a case of knowing and expecting we'd go on smash the other side in the last qtr. now we just hope to hold on by a point...lol.

[blueday]

Week in week out we get screwed by the umps. Must be something in the pay we play, defend or something. Just happens each and ever week.

[shawny]

Bont is the main danger here. Hold him in the last and we win. Ed to play a hard tag on him in last.
Cripps has to rest forward. Love his heart but he is too sore to be effective in the middle.

I think Eddie just copped a low blow early on.....holding his junk.

Cripps is definitely playing injured, but he can still hold his own in the centre square and thats half the battle. Clear the ball from there and we're ok.

Don't mind if he clears it and then drifts forward, but regardless, its still working so why change?

Pittonet has been very good tonight.
They pumped up English in the pre-game, big unit coming of age and big game expected.....Pitts has flogged him with hitouts to advantage.


Fun stat.

[kruddler]

Ump called touched......then pays the mark. Resulting shot on goal missed!

What the hell is that?

[kruddler]

SPS tackled as he gets it....same as happened 30 times tonight....this time....paid.


Free kicks 21 - 9

[kruddler]

Not even the umps can stop the class of Martin. Gets rid of his opponent deep 50, takes a strong overhead mark.
Goals.
