nothing game until those last 15 mins really. melbourne really disappointing before that and carlton holding them at arms length and still almost s**t the bed

 

[gaskin]

Just seen that "dangerous tackle."

What an absolute ******* joke that is. It was a perfect tackle and considering Melbourne kicked a goal from the ball spilling out, one could argue it cost them the game. The AFL has to come out and say that was a load of bullshit.

Umps were all over Dees early in that quarter though, was it Windsor who had prior, ducked the head, and they called for a ball up? Amongst other missed HTB calls early.

Dunno. Didn't watch the game but saw the clip of the dangerous tackle on Reddit.

I mean equally Petracca kicked a goal after a McGovern mark that wasn't paid for some unknown reason.

The conversation around Kemp deliberately trying to make it a dangerous tackle is laughable. It was a fantastic tackle, it doesn't mean Kemp dived. His knee dug into the ground, shifting his balance.

As for the game, bank the 4 points but that's the worst I've felt after a win.

We're still going nowhere until we learn not to switch off for quarters at a time.

Yeah, that wasn’t a satisfying win at all. How do we look like a top 4 side leading 30-0 at QT, 63-25 at one point and then look like the worst team in the competition and holding on for dear life for the final 15 minutes?

If we don’t improve, we won’t get anywhere near Sydney next week.

This is awful news.

AFL rocked by shock death of former star aged 29

Cam McCarthy was once one of the brightest forwards in the game.

And off to Tassie....

 

[Jatz]

That’s been on the cards for a while. Makes sense for all parties.

 

[Jatz]

Here’s the Geelong I think most expected.

 

[Kram]

Geelong could have went to poo vs someone other than Port.

 

[SM]

Hang on, didn't you passionately argue that they'd barely drop a game at home this year?

 

[Kram]

Lol 9 goals against in just over 1 quarter of footy.

 

[Kram]

Wow, make that 10.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Geez, don't discount Port out of the flag race.

 

[Jatz]

Yes, barely.

I also said they’d make finals. Recall you being pretty sure they wouldn’t

 

[Jatz]

By that, I thought they’d scrape into finals.

What we’ve seen so far was far beyond what I thought they’d be, partially thanks to the soft draw.

 

[SM]

Yes, barely.

Off the back of this I stand by it.

Off the back of this I stand by it.

Hey, I hope you’re right

 

[Jatz]

Hahahaha I thought Ken was giving it to the crowd for a second then
