Not expecting a win but bring it on!
Somehow when we two clash, always manages to be a pretty decent game :)
Carn Blues.
Fantasy wise, I have Gibbs, Scotland, Walker and Cotchin. 400 between them will be sweet.
Go you Tiggies!! :D
Quietly confident of a good win today. Up the Tiges! 8)
Carlton are without a few important players (Kreuzer, Judd, Garlett).
We should be too good for them.
Hopefully Ellis, Cotch, Dusty and Lids have big games ;D
Yeah I am nervous as we have so many injuries but its good to see some young guys having a run.
Watch out for Nick Graham!

I'm looking forward to see how he goes. Don't know why he wasn't given a game earlier, he's been great in the VFL.
Yeah some of Mick's decision have been unusual. Honestly Bootsma should not be getting games at this stage. Laidler has great ability and why he is not getting games is beyond me.
Is this game LIVE on Channel 7?
Don't think the Saturday afternoon game is ever live on Channel 7.
nah unfortunately it's not vinny. it's on delay. doesn't make much sense ay
invest in foxtel mate :P
Haha yeah I probably should! I have no way to watch it now :(
I'm actually really torn as to whether to not even follow it until it starts on TV or not.

Yeah I feel like turning off my phone so I see no scores or stats and just watching it on delay.
I reckon Carlton might win because I have Richmond in a multi and some underdog always gets up in my multis and I think it will be Carlton or Gold Coast

Agreed that Laidler should have been in the team earlier in the year.
Having said that, Boots has gotten a game the last few weeks because McInnes, White and Laidler have all been injured and Duigan also received a VFL suspension. He has also had some very good VFL form in that time. He still doesn't have a body ready for AFL footy yet in the position they are asking him to play

Gutted to see Graham as the sub, but I think it was always pretty obvious.
Matt White out is a bit of a blow I think, but I'm ecstatic to see Matt McDonough make his debut! 8)
McDonough playing ;D
Recently saw Nick Graham's stats from the VFL and U18s, pretty impressive. Was kind of hoping he didn't play the final 3 games so he would still be rookie priced for next year.
Reckon Richmond will win but only just. Btw os they have no chance of making the top 4 lol, will still be dangerous in september though.
Got cotch, gibbs and martin in this one, 3 tons would be lovely

If Sydney lose their final two matches to Geelong and Hawthorn and the Tigers win their final three games (which we should), we'll move into fourth.
Definitely a possibility, you can't say we have no chance.

if Sydey lose against Cats and Hawks (most likely)
and Richmond will their next 3, they make top 4.
could definitely happen
Wow Matt McDonough comes in. Can't wait to see what he can do
Wtf Bootsma on Jroo ???
what a start by the Tiges.
This game could be over soon
Ellis, Cotchin, Gibbs, and Martin for me
Gibbs --> Hanley next week
&
Cotchin --> Griffen ;)
Nice start by Scotland, Gibbs and Martin. A combined total of 0 points in 9 minutes.

don't speak too soon :p
Ellis... this kid can seriously play
Cotchin and Gibbs out next week for sure ::)
Decided that I'm gonna stay away until the game starts on TV, twas a tough decision to make. :P
Carlton lift you spuds
Lift Cotchin, Walker, Gibbs and Scotland dammit and FFS lift Carlton.
Mick has lost the plot..Bootsma on JRoo ?!
Dafuq is Martin doing....
Nothing that's it. ::)

man it's good to have the week off and not have to worry about which players are spudding it up for me.
and Armfield has gone to Ellie ffs
McLean has been a ripper inclusion in my smokey side so far :)
Bell cleans up Cotchin... Bell comes off worse
Carlton back in this
Good stuff fellas!
Gibbs, Scotland and Walker all lifted :)
Then there is Trent Cotchin ::)
72 point qtr for Brock the cock. :D Got him in Draft leagues. :)
Game is finally starting on TV! ;D
Just have to put up with Basil. :(
I'm actually liking these purple training tops the Tigers lads have on. :o

done that early in the year waiting for the hawks on 90 min delay flower doing that again haha
It finally started on TV :) But I am watching the 2nd quarter cause that is when we decided to show up :P
Boots on Jroo, major lulz.
Grimes subbed off for Tuck
Gave in, got the live scores up. Still watching the game as well though. :P
Bootsma subbed for Graham. About time! Come on Nick - Show us what you got 8)
Good Blues! :)
As much as I didn't want to admit it, this was always going to happen. :(
Awesome game to watch, terrible for DT...
The first gamer with more touches than Martin. That's a disgrace.
LEVI!!!!
No one goes harder than Mitch Robinson.
Grigg's been good.
Told you guys Carlton going to get up ::)

Where is Cotchin the Richmond that played that first quarter?
We're flowered. :(
Tigers are going to have to really lift to win this.
Maric y u do dis
Man, I really wish I could watch this. :(
A different team came out after quarter time. There's no other explanation for this abomination of a performance.
Hate tigers even more if they lose lol

Hey, at least you're not a Richmond supporter right now.
We're sitting here expecting to win games like this but instead the lads play one flowering quarter of football. ::)
My heart is beating just watching the Herald Sun Play by Play dots move on my screen. :P
Magnifying glass?, you would need a microscope to spot Martin today.
Ellis. I hate you.
Carlton winning has flowered over m0nty's live scores and the AFL site. Look what you've done, Carlscum. >:(
YEEEEAAAAHHHH CARLTON! ;D
28. you cannot be fuking serious. >:(
If I played today, I would've gotten more than 28 without touching the ball ;)
We've lost to Carlton, justice is restored. It wouldn't have been right for us to go the season without losing to the Blues.
Like the Ninthmond of old, we're hot and we're cold. flower me, inb4 we somehow lose to the Giants and the drugged up Bombers.
We literally did flower all after quarter time. Well done Carlton, gave Mick a nice birthday present.
flower
Dustin was too busy talking to his manager trying to get an extra 10 bucks put on his contract... ::)

He's obviously been going to the Travis Cloke School For Contract Negotiations.
If GWS were watching this, we could be in serious trouble for next week. Basically, if you tag Cotchin and Ellis out of a game, we're absolutely useless. Cotch is our key ball winner, Ellis our key link man. Neither did anything after quarter time and we were slaughtered. I'm very concerned...

Well, GWS already tag every second player of every team they play so we might as well tip the Giants.

They usually tag 2 or 3 and I had hopes it'd just be Cotch, Lids, and someone completely random and unexpected...
I just don't understand how we can dominate a quarter so much and then do nothing for the next three?! :(
Just got home from the game, very nervous during the first quarter, but my man Levi stepped up in the second half and kicked a few. Real happy with our performance today, people who watched on TV probably have a better judgement though :P

I watched on TV because I was too sick to go to the game. First quarter, you guys didn't necessarily look awful, you just never had a chance as Richmond looked like the same team that convincingly beat Hawthorn. Really, the Tigers played with a combination of finesse and effort that made them look unbeatable.
From quarter time onwards, the effort really changed. Your boys played with 110% effort and Richmond didn't look like they bothered. There were patches where Carlton had both amazing skill/control with the ball and a huge effort, while other times you didn't need the foot skills because the effort was so one-sided.
It was very disappointing from a Richmond point of view but Carlton fans should be proud of a ridiculously big effort from a young team missing stars. You deserve to make the finals based on that performance.

We just played awesome after quarter time. Our players that played a shutdown role were amazing.
Curnow destroyed Cotchin. Armfield destroyed Ellis after QT. Tuohy shut down Martin. Jammo kept JRoo down after QT.
Was a good performance. I am watching on delay and Mitch Robinson is going so hard at it.
Go Blues :)
Dusty was sitting up forward for most of the game. Still he shouldn't be scoring flowering 25 SC points.
I thought Robinson was pretty meh.
Today's game also backed up my thoughts on Martin; he just goes missing in big games. He is seriously overrated, Cotchin too.
Carlton still have a lot of room to improve, however role players stepped up with some key guys missing. Thought Yarran/Betts were terrible. Bootsma shower as always. Big boys were good but all of them but Henderson looked too slow. Casboult is an animal though 8)

Yeah Bootsma needed to be subbed. Betts and Yarran were shocking today but Robinson was pretty awesome.
He went harder and did more than his stats showed.
Levi has plenty of potential and is an exciting prospect. :)
I have to ask, because I couldn't see the basis on TV - how come Lids got 140+? Thought Maric got high too, but could see him active here and there. Lids I saw one good tackle and heard mention a couple of times, but nothing as dominant as that score in a losing team suggests.
What did I miss?

I was at the game and I thought Lids was our best player. His run and carry was damaging and most of his disposals were good.

Fair enough, I know what you're saying but players in losing teams can still get high scores.
I thought he was our best player without looking at the stats.
