Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 23: Carlton vs GWS

[crashlander]

I hope we can pull one more good game out for Eddie and Levi, but I'm not holding my breath. Not after last week.

Magnificent gesture from GWS wearing their indigenous rig for Edwardo. Speechless.

Teared up watching Ed being interviewed after the game. Good interview, Sarah.

[Baggers]

Loved the message from Edwardo's young fella which Sarah relayed... 'your pressure acts were down, dad...'  )

[Baggers]

Again, allowing a run of goals cost us the game. 5 unanswered goals did us in... aside from that period, bloody good, competitive effort.

[crashlander]

So near, and yet so far. That is us in a nutshell.

It was more the fact we couldn't score. they weren't scoring freely just that we struggled to do anything beyond the centre last 2 1/2 qtrs. We had just one F50 tackle compared to their's 19.

De Koning held that ball until his head hit the ground. Might have got mark of the year if it wasn't for the head collision with the ground. Ablett got mark of the year for similar in the 90s, expected he didn't knock himself out.

That is fitness. Sadly we seem to be lacking in it even though apparently we have the best. Something NQR there

Lost a bit of interest in this game...all this Teague business is depressing and with nothing riding on the game apart from saluting Eddie and Levi it went to script. Ed Curnow played a very nice game and I liked Stocker and Kemps work as well. LOB hit some nice passes early and TDK did well vs the new Mummy in Briggs,but again we dont get enough return for our efforts and having them level at half time meant they would get momentum at some stage which they did and the result was a forgone conclusion.

Tend to agree. We fluffed some early chances and missed the opportunity to create a scoreboard buffer. As a result, when they inevitably came back we were vulnerable.
