Wildcard Finals.

Suck it Daicos

Yes, it's a shame, isn't it!!

Tonight was a game where I'd happily have seen both teams lose. But after that epic contest, I almost felt a smidgen of sympathy for Collingwood. Didn't last long, and I hope the Dogs get rolled next week. But it was a great demonstration of how good Aussie Rules can be when you have two closely matched teams going helter skelter all night long.

I enjoyed last night's game as MCS described above. With the added melodrama whether Sidebottom had played his last game, as he watched Membrey take that final kick. Possibly same with Pendlebury.

Whilst i can understand the reasons why the AFL brought the Wildcard round in, my only objection is that it SHOULDN'T be given a Finals status from a integrity pov.

The fact more teams are technically finalist than those who missed out is glaring. It lowers the bar on what constitutes a successful season for some teams.

As an aside, and he doesn’t usually get these things wrong, Cal Twomey has confirmed this morning Benjamin Button is off to the Gold Coast, to play then likely join coaching ranks.

They’ll only get so much out of him as a player, but quite the coup for them given his footy IQ and smart move by him to go experience other footy programs.

Superb kick by Pickett for that opening goal.

Go the Dees as a) it’s be funny to see the Blues bubble burst and b) I know everyone creams themselves over midfielders for the best player in the comp debate, but it’s really Max Gawn and has been for a while

Jiath is having a great first quarter.

[dejavoodoo44]

Carlton keep on giving Pickett chances and he hasn't really punished them yet. I suspect that they won't keep on getting away with that.

Jiath is having a great first quarter.

So is Harry Dean

@@@@ing Blues.....in front now. I wish they'd just capitulate back into Voss Carlton.

[dejavoodoo44]

Carlton seemed to be getting plenty of umpire assistance in that half.

[dejavoodoo44]

Carlton still getting plenty of umpire assistance

[imuninformedtwo]

Do we really need to hear about Weitering’s quads every time he is in a contest.

[imuninformedtwo]

Gee Kozie has missed some shots he’d usually nail

I agree . Gawn is a magnificent player and also comes across as a bloody good bloke. I hope they win for him.
