AFL Rd 12 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Milhanna13]

Don't get me started on the commentary.

were they there??  it sounded very tinny and no atmosphere, almost like they were in a studio.  dont get me started on JSelwood - how can he be that poor?

[Gointocarlton]

Looked like he went in low (good) but was second in and a little bit indiscriminate (bad) for mind, kind of like Dangerflog.  It's the pattern of behaviour I don't like....a lot of "oops sorry clumsiness" but that doesn't hold water when people get hurt.

I thought McG got a lot of treatment last night...marginally late physicality and was constantly held.  I wonder if they considered him a bit "fragile" - there was an awful lot of feeling in his goal celebration (it was a stunner to be said).

I noticed Gov was wearing a fair sized mattress under his jumper, been copping "treatment" from oppo players for weeks now. Vossy needs to go back to the umpires this week and get them to have a look at some of the decisions (or non decisions) against Gov, was having his jumper held all night. Anyway, we got the chocolates so PA and the umps can GAGF.

I thought McGovern had a bit of a shocker and Georgiades played very well on him, he did cop a block from Soldo which was a free but not paid by the umpires, he seemed to be trailing behind the Port kid all the time and that goal he kicked was about his best piece of play for the evening. The umpires let a lot of stuff go and paid some real rubbish imo....Soldo continually pushed TDK well before the ball arrived in several ruck contests and got away with it as well as being conveniently clumsy and connecting with our players heads on occasions.

Had his jumper held in another

We laid 75 tackles last night and how many frees did we get for holding the ball?  Owies got one under the new interpretation but were there any others?

I believe that Port were awarded three holding the ball frees from 60 tackles.

Yep
I don't think the game was played differently at all.

I thought early on that Walsh was getting rid of the ball fairly quickly, but in the end he, Cripps and Curnow played exactly the same as they normally do.

I don't understand the hostility towards Orazio.

The alternatives are many, but include Motlop......who kicked 4 goals against this mob as a late in last year. Kickd 2 goals or more 10 times last year as well....as a 19yo.

Meanwhile, this (soon to be) 29yo has kicked 2 goals in 10 games.....total

Still having trouble understand the hostility?

Motlop hasn't been available for weeks.  Durdin doesn't do much, so why be hostile to Fantasia? What other small forward is he keeping out atm ?

So seemingly by your definition it’s ok if he avoids sunburn by standing in H’s shadow, but slips out and kicks 2-3 ?
No one is lauding his form but he keeps getting picked, yeah we’ve got injuries to his competitors but he must be doing something to please the selectors.

Vossy reckons that Raz is performing the roles he's been set so, no, I don't understand the hostility, particularly since Motlop has only played in one VFL game where he didn't do much.

I'd prefer to see Motlop in the 23, but only if he's burning it up in the VFL.
