That game last night was not a great advertisement for Australian Rules Football.
I hope no international viewers were logging in for the first game.
Absolutely appalling standard of play.
It was like watching concrete cure.

I’ll say it again, Carlton, flaky, all hype no jive. AW

Hey @AW & @supra, next week Collingwood v Carlton, I hate this game, whoever I pick requires me to have a very long hot shower to cleanse my soul, best I can hope for is an all in brawl resulting in massive suspensions!!

GuySmiley. Hi fella.

Yep, battle of the bogans.

After we overrun and beat a fast starting Carlton I’ll have a few ales to cleanse my soul.
Meanwhile, they’ll still be looking for their souls. AW

Hah, that’s the ultimate oxymoron, a Carlton supporter with a soul. Two good games tonight, Hawks edging the Giants and Cats toying with the Lions.

Yes, indeed the two that matters are definitely Top Hatters at present.
Lions and the Suns are doing well. AW

Solid comeback by the Loins, seeds. I thought they were cooked at half time.

Seems comebacks are the Lions thing this year.

Could this be the year for the Suns to make the 8?

I was going with the “cooked” metaphor but if that’s where your mind goes, so be it.
The Suns v Dees game was pretty grim. One commentator on the radio spilt his cup of tea, and they then spent 20 minutes talking about that as both teams missed easy shots on goal and kicked out of bounds.

Bit nervous about tonight's game, it's these ones that we should win easily that we often lose, and Carlton are really going to be fired up for a win after three straight loses especially against us.

What is this “we” BS @info?

I hate saying this but I want your team to win … but only by a point but only after a controversial (free)kick after the siren and only after a couple of your players get reported and the icing on the cake would be a Maynard report but only because my family has “history” with Carlton dating back to my grandfather’s time when he needed to “convince” a couple of Carlton fans to pay up on their 5quid bets on the terraces in the outer at windy hill!!

Indo reckons his hip and bump on the muslim woman 'to see how she'd react' at the Dandenong markets qualifies him for a Collingwood guernsey.
Close, but even Collingwood aren't that shit house.
Warped human.

Well that was a bit grim. Don’t reckon either team will be doing much in September. Voss will be gone by then.

I beg to differ Blackers, great team effort driven by pressure especially in the second half.
Go Pies, well, Carlton again have got the Blues. AW

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder AW. For a dispassionate observer there was not much apart from the shuffle at half time. Even that was half hearted. Anyways a win us a win. Still think Voss is a goner.

Wasn't the best or worst game but low scoring games are always a bit painful, i thought the Blues played quite well in the first half with their ball movement, then Pies had a great third quarter and played very well in the wet.

Inaccuracy in front of goal is a worry though, most of a foward's were terrible I Just looked at the stats, between Elliot, Broady, Bobby, McStay they kicked 6 behinds 0 goals, (although 18 tackles between them)

Schultz had a great game again though.

Indo. Hi . We’ve been inaccurate since Peter McKenna left the game.
We did it last year, last week against the Dogs, again last night. We should bury teams and we don’t, like last night, leading by 6 goals in the third quarter end up 17 point victors. Does my head in.. Vale Andrew Krakouer. AW
