Carlton gameday thread

Realistically we have to be patient, and it's hard because I'm frustrated just by getting score updates, but it's a young team now and we'll drop off sometimes. The future looks very promising, though, and we seem to have discovered some real gems.

I hope we can get over the line...

White had the smarts there. Knew to clear out the line and give space for the easy handpass and goal.

Agree completely....

We needed that goal.

Just a quick question

WTF do the Swans have to do to get a free for HTB.

We had at least three identical to the LRT call not tomention the magnificent tackle by Mattner and none got called.

While I was typing this - GOAL to RHINO!!!

Game on!!!

What is it with the commentators and the "brother syndrome". Even Healy, who knows more about the Swans than most. Earlier in the game we had Heath Shaw rebounding off half-back and now apparently Mark McVeigh provided the block for Ryno's goal!

Things looked ugly at times that quarter - too many gifts of goals. But good fight back in the last 5 minutes. We are still in this game.

Got hammered in that qrt. Late goals keep us in with a sniff but need to play better.

**10Totti10** · 18 July 2009, 04:12 PM

well done veszpa with that white goal. Awesome run, could have tried the shot but was smart and hand passed it over for the easy goal. Good goal by O'Keefe. Got some momentum heading into the last quarter, and carlton will rue slowing down the play.
Usual suspects costing us goals in the last quarter in Bevan and Richards (HE NEEDS TO BE DROPPED!!!!!). All the young guy playing well, though barlow's kicking was avergae in that quarter.

But I'm not patient - I want to win against the stupid Blues and I don't want to bottom out and I don't want to just lose!

I want us to beat Carlton, too. I want it more than a win over Adelaide or Collingwood.

Yeah not the way you want to start a quarter. Two goals to Blues.

**Triple B** · 18 July 2009, 04:16 PM

We need Goodes to shelve the party trick tap ons and handballs and take them on. He showed what he can do.

That's this week but when we play Collingwood I want to beat them. Commentators get so excited when Carlton get the ball it just drives me insane. Oh well the lead was good but we can't win from here.
