Buddy, is this it? buddyyyyyyyyy!!! YES!!!! A THOUSAND GOALS!! LOOK AT THE CROWD ON THE FIELD! A modern day great!!!!
Bunker, score review, on-field decision is a goal, just check it was touched
Bunker confirms, touched off the boot, the score is a behind.
-
we're more likely to keep getting
"Buddy, is this it? buddyyyyyyyyy!!! NO....to the right for a behind...."....for the rest of the season

I'm just praying that it's not BT with the mic in his hand when it happens.

where's Huddo when you need him?

Car'tin beat the Dogs to go 2-0. Blues fans will be absolutely frothing.
Fuck yeah we are. That first half was literally the best I've ever seen this team play. The wheels fell off a little bit in the second half but they hung on admirably.
It's now beyond doubt that when they produce their best then they can beat pretty much anyone. It's now just a case of doing it for long enough each week to get the W.
We've also got to learn from Richmond. After the third premiership you start to see a drop-off in intensity, so we should be planning for the future in how we turn over our list. Maybe after we go win our second premiership in 23 we make some tough calls about players coming to the end of their careers.

@mariner4life I'm a fan of Jason Bennett too. Last week when Docherty kicked his goal he just sat back and said nothing, let us hear the crowd noise and atmosphere. Great piece of work. You know BT or JB would have drowned it out with stupid fucking nonsense.

The Ch7 team has been, for a number of years, some of the worst to listen to in any sport.
Bruce's questions
BT's inane nonsense
JB's puppy-like matey excitement
The dreary deadshit "expert analysis" from Ling and Bartell and CareyThe constant talk about how great they are calling the game. It's just really bad TV.
It could only be worse by stealing Dwayne Russell from Fox

Carlton's 23 year plan definitely showing signs of working out
Cripps is a fucking beast. He gets lots of it, and he's surrounded by guys who use it well. They've got some good young talent too (years and years and years of high draft picks will do that).
-
@mariner4life Cripps looks a completely different player to last year. Cerra and Hewett look like great off-season buys. Walsh is only going to get better.
But the addition of a fit Charlie Curnow to the forward line makes them a 1-2 punch as good as Jeremy Cameron and Tom Hawkins. They now have potency all over the field. If they can get their defence to basically par level then they won't lose too many. It's a big IF though.

I don't know how much you've watched so far but they have had a real personnel shift. Wayne Carey seems to have been turfed (thank god) and I don't think Lingy is around either.
Last night it was Luke Hodge and Jobe Watson with Hamish McLoughlin and Jason Bennett. Daisy Pearce is up in the box more too. It's been a major improvement.

The only FTA game I've watched was the opener.
I fucking HATE Hamish McLoughlin though. With the fire of a thousand suns.

@mariner4life Really? I think he's fine enough. Certainly better than BT or JB.

Imagine how good you'll be when Kouta comes back from his latest injury!

Not to mention adding Fev into that forward line

it couldn’t last forever
I guess the afl draft system does work very well though , it doesn’t seem that long ago Melbourne, Carlton and Brisbane seemed stuck on the bottom of the ladder , meanwhile picking up the cream of the draft .
Now they have some of the best young lists in the comp .
-
@kiwiinmelb on the bright side as my mate said to me; the tigers can still mathematically make the eight from here.
