AFL Rd 24 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St, Kilda

Ironic that Paddy Dow stuck it up us.

My kids were complaining how boring the game was and how the atmosphere felt sucked out / thank Christ we didn’t get that knob, I cannot stand him.

The umpiring is a complete joke and a lottery as to who gets what and when!

Glad I didnt go, those losses are heartbreakers for kids to have to sit through and I have given up on the umpiring, its out of control in terms of consistency and the AFL dont know what to do to simplify the game to make it easy to umpire, more rules, more grey areas, leading to more confusion is their solution.

I've got an idea......  :-X

I missed that as i was driving home from a birthday at the time, but heard it on the radio.

What happened to the umpire, did they go off?
I noticed a female ump, i'm assuming it wasn't her who got hit.

Someone at the Carlton cheers quad end threw a water bottle and hit the girl umpire in the head. Can't recall any controversial decisions.

More disposals than the Saints but 44% efficiency inside 50...we have too many player's who rack up big stats outside 50 but do nothing with the ball delivering inside 50. That was about the only stat other than the hitouts we were poor at...
We need mids who can use the ball better rather than just collecting useless possessions.

Our Mids are OK, but we need one or two serious ball users when entering F50. We'll get improvement from OH, and I wonder about Lord and Binns what they can do, I'm not expecting much improvement from the older heads but they are the grunt.

Some will claim we won the stoppages and clearances, but the bulk of them are meaningless because it's often a kick to nobody or a turnover on our HF line.

It was the bloke goal umpiring at the start, Chelsea Roffey was the substitute for the injured umpire.

Saints won exactly how Hoyne predicted. Chains from the backline.

Need to be careful with the 'facts'. It was a male goal umpire and the thrower was a Carlton supporter not associated with the cheer squad.

I wrote goal. Auto correct changed it to girl.

I said cheersquad end not the cheersquad.
