2023 Finals Series

[Blood Fever]

Brisbane have shat the bed, and Carlton are revelling in it.

Lions poor but umps not helping. Running too far free was crap and Blues player took it through for a point with no one near him.

[longmile]

Have we misjudged Carlton? I'm making plans to leave Melbourne for a week or so!

I still think the Dees and us were better than Carlton overall - they just made more of their chances in both games

Also Pies v Carlton is nightmare fuel but just want the (V)AFL wants

[Daisi]

I'm watching the game. Brisbane are being ummm- treated poorly- by the umpires.

[Sandridge]

Brisbane forward entries are atrocious at the moment!

[stevoswan]

50-50's are always going to go the Blues way. Goal reviews always go Carlton's way too. The AFL has given the umps a pep talk it seems.

Enjoying the game a bit more now. Coleman's kicking is quite Errol like. Umpires have ignored some really obvious frees that should have been paid against Carlton.

[stevoswan]

Lions steadying now.....back in front. Keep it up!

[Sandridge]

Wow! Lions in front!! Go Lions!!

(Hard to see either of these sides troubling Collingwood, though.)

[i'm-uninformed2]

Good comeback and it’s easy to forget among his occasional idiocy what a good footballer Zorko is at his best. He was huge that quarter

[dejavoodoo44]

Probably should get Cripps off for a concussion test, after giving away that 50.

[dejavoodoo44]

Out on the full was what that "free" to Curnow deserved.
Nice that Cameron has remembered where the goals are.

As you were at the game, I'd love to hear your opinion on the crowd reaction to the Welcome to Country, KT.

Idiotic Sam Newman, in a sad and pathetic attempt to get attention and make himself relevant, encouraged the crowd to boo during the ceremony.

Watching on TV, I couldn't hear any negative reaction to the WTC at all.

I was at the game and thankfully there was loud cheering before and after Welcome to Country. I have to admit I was concerned that there would be booing.

Sam Newman is a disgusting racist human being. He showed his true colours during the Goodes saga. He is constantly making racist remarks on podcasts. Don Scott even had to set him straight a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your response, Mel!

Brisbane have had enough possession this quarter to really put Carlton away - but haven't!

[Mel_C]

Brisbane scared me in that first quarter! They have finally woken up, but should be further in front. Carlton's only goal after quarter time has been from a free to Cripps.

[longmile]

they ignore the high tackle in the Brisbane's fwd50 but pay the one in Carltons...
