    Clearly a down field free and a stunning kick for goal.

    Wow, what an amazing ending to tonight's match. Blues snatch it contraversely after the siren.....with an amazing from the boundary set shot.
    Probably undeserved.....

    Great kick from Newnes. As crazy a last minute of a game as we've seen for awhile. Fantastic reaction from Carlton after the goal.
    Lots of pressure from both teams for the entire last quarter.

    Not happy about umpire influenced Carlton win.

    If we beat Freo next week we'll be up to 12th, with JUH matching very early, that means pick 8, about where Campbell might attract a bid. There goes our double dip at the pointy end of the draft :-(

    So you don’t want us to win next week?

    A narrow loss due to a last minute umpiring error Freo's way (to balance up last night's wrong calls) would do me fine. Happy to win against top 8 sides not the "eight point" games against those in the lower reaches of the table vying with us for picks 2,3,4

    Got my heart set on a pick before matching Campbell and Gulden :-)

    I think wins for this young squad are more valuable than picks.

    I just don't get all this whining about the fact that winning is wrecking our high draft pick position and somehow threatening our future.
    We play to win......not too manipulate the draft. We are not Melbourne.....we have pride and a 'winning' culture.
    Move on.....

    I agree with you and MattW, wins are what we want. Worth bearing in mind too that Freo are in deficit and will slip a place or two in the draft from their ladder position.

    Spot on. The joy in the change rooms after the match is all the evidence you need.
