LOL at Blues fans celebrating a trash win

Better than moaning after a choke loss.

Which is better than moaning when your team isn’t even involved

LOL at Blues fans celebrating a trash win

There are no trash wins. There are just wins.

Blues too good.

St Kilda lost to Essendon haha

Jesus that was a horrible game to watch.

Freo kicked 8 goals, 6 of them from free kicks (3 of which from tackles and holding the balls which are fair), and won the free kick count at a neutral ground… but yeah I guess Free Kick Carlton

Umpires miss touched balls all game, you can’t review a mark what did you want them to do?

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Same can be said with Carltons goals.

Actually don’t understand what you mean?!?

Seems like an attempt to discredit my comment?!?
Maybe explain?

 

[Thrawn]

Getting caught stone cold holding the ball in front of the goals is a travesty!

 

[Aphrodite]

Umpires. You got them in your pockets huh Carlton

 

[Rustica]

We? LOL

Unless you were playing today you really mean “they”. Sit down.

It’s called unity

Your mob wouldn’t understand it anymore

 

[Lsta062]

poor little precious princess umpire heard a naughty word, it hurt his feelings. to potentially decide a game right at the end over such a minor thing, grow a pair and understand abit of context about the game and that its not about you and your fragile feelings and inflated ego

That might be the case, but the AFL brought dissent against the umpires in as a rule. It’s probably the easiest rule to abide by as it just requires a player to shut their mouth.

To give a dissent free at such a late stage of the game was very poor by the Fremantle player. They should know the rules

 

[Randomizor]

BTW thanks for Cerra & Acres

You can keep Cerra, I was pretty pissed about Acres though. Club really wronged him

 

[Thrawn]

The Saints will burst your balloon when we lock horns later this season, Ross Lyon has your number.

That's what you said last year.

And true, he does, we didn't return his call and picked Vossy instead.

Clearly? I was watching on 75 inches in high def and it was impossible to tell in real time. Even the first replay was tough to tell.
The replays after the game showed that it was a slight deflection off the shoulder. Hardly a howler. Reckon a number of those get missed in most games.
The mark was paid and the goal was kicked. Get on with it. Still a chance to win from there. No amount of arguing will change the call.

Nice flex but maybe your eyesight then.

Carlton never lose the close games, because they have umpire assistance, every, single, time

Eagles would need a dozen umps on the ground to get them a win

 

[JustaBattler]

That's the disappointing thing, we won't know who the better team was. Because the last 2 goals were gifted in a space of 30 seconds. A really disappointing watch as a neutral.

Fair to say that the two teams were pretty even for the match - so yeah no real deciding data- except the 4 points go to the Blues oh well...the team has been on the receiving end of similar close finishes going the wrong way - to greater cost in '22 if I remember correctly..

 

[Back One Out]

you knew the Blues would find a way

Just to add... I rate this Carlton team, especially in tough games and close finishes

There used to be a time when you could count on the Blues to choke, but this team seem to be made of the right stuff; they're tough, they don't give in; they play the percentages; they don't beat themselves and they have the 2 big fellas up forward who can pluck a big grab against multiple defenders.

It's a pretty good recipe for victory in low-scoring games like we saw today when things aren't going their way

 

[Always Ballin]

Man I'm an Eagles fan but can't help feel Freo were cheated. Kind of put me off the Blues now even if it wasn't their fault.

I agree, PerthBoy.

 

[E Shed]

Unbelievable. Flashbacks to the farcical series of decisions that cost us a close one against Carlton a few years back.

Great contest ruined by a poor ending.

 

[YeoShuey]

You can keep Cerra, I was pretty pissed about Acres though. Club really wronged him

If only Freo had a clutch player like Cerra saving the game for their team in the last few minutes.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Feels great to win

Fans of the winner of a match between two mid table standard teams are entitled to feel happy.

 

[Kram]

I think Sharp will be better.

Cerra is a decent player but that trade worked in our advantage.

 

[Blues_Man]

That's the disappointing thing, we won't know who the better team was. Because the last 2 goals were gifted in a space of 30 seconds. A really disappointing watch as a neutral.

freo had 6 goals from free kicks, swings and roundabouts my friend.

 

[Elixuh]

All game Carlton fans were complaining about the umpiring. Post game Freo supporters.

Good stuff.

 

[nurries]

Say what you like about the mark but your just lost your team the game by carrying on like a pork chop when the game still has a kick in it and 40 seconds to go

Did you see the replay? Hardly carrying on just talking really no flapping of arms or anything

 

[T2B_]

The Freo dude just had to be less lippy. The freebie goal would be hard to swallow, but the Cottrell mark and goal to put us in front was there
