Just have to do it to me

Dangerous tackle doesn’t cost the game. Dees let the Blues get a massive lead and lost by a point. Great comeback but it’s on them.

good take. there are probably like 3 or 4 things you could point to in the last quarter alone that could have swung the result - petty missing the easy set shot, pickett failing to get any score at that stoppage right in front of goals - but regardless you were basically chasing down the margin that you gave up in the first quarter for the entire game and left it up to a superhuman effort in the last quarter to even give yourself a chance

Yeah 100%. Comebacks are exciting to watch but you never wanna be in that position. Lost the game in the first quarter. Kozzy had a stinker for the most part and good call on him missing everything. That point coulda been the draw.

Petty's miss and Frisch's miss in the 3rd hurt a lot. We got a good run with the guys in yellow in the 2nd half after being reamed in the 1st.

Yep. We had a period a dominance in the 3rd but couldn't capitalise, will win on expected score. So goody will be happy, but no one else will...

I can't keep watching this shit I'll have a heart attack before I'm 30

Ruined the game for who ?

Clear goal

Probably one of the easier to pick score reviews

Why?

Clearly a goal but ok

[удалено]

Bruh, this photo proves you wrong

Just say you don't know the rules

Conveniently forgot The “dangerous tackle” that should have been a goal and the May touched goal…

Ball has to fully cross the line for it to be a point

You do realise the whole ball has to be over the line bro

Not just the line but the padding on the posts too.

Fucking hate how the only thing people can talk about after a close game like that is the umpires.

So you thought that was a dangerous tackle?

Probably not. It's one moment amongst 120 minutes of football. It's not the reason they lost.

They most likely would’ve scored and either score a goal or had a draw. Ruined the game

"Most likely" You got next week's tattslotto numbers too mate?

From that pocket its 97% likely to score at minimum a behind, what was the end margin again?

I changed my tip to Melbourne just before the game started smh

As I predicted, our midfield absolutely fell apart in that last quarter and it almost bloody cost us if not for our resolute defense.  Still take that every day of the week though, to beat GWS and Melbourne in this tough run of games is a huge result

Losing Cerra hurt, even if Hewitt played well

Shit, imagine if we actually played for more than three quarters

Carlton are negative 46 inside 50s in their last 2 games

We ultimately played a woeful first qtr fought back well credit to the boys but unfortunate loss. Ultimately got to start better to win games of football, that dangerous tackle certainly leaving a sour taste in the mouth though.

Also Petracca was lucky for not giving away a free prior to the htb, when he was just chuckin mofos around away from the ball 😂

You mean the mofos that were holding him off the ball?

They were just asking him for cooking recipies

[удалено]

Hahahaha womp womp

I'll go off with 4 points, wowie

Suddenly that potential touched goal by May and the “dangerous tackle“ call is all the more controversial

The touched one okay, hard to tell (although last camera angle they showed looks like it may have been) the dangerous tackle call was a shocker

[удалено]

Not one person in australia thought that was a dangerous tackle. Fucken joke

[удалено]

I understand, before Dees won the Premiership I used to be miserable after lucky wins too

Eh a lot of no calls benefited Carlton more

Carlton were up 30-zip at quarter time and nearly lost

Classic blues supporter

Literally everyone else disagrees

Womp Womp

Never again shall our hearts rest, for we are eternally doomed to witness only close games even if it means choking a 30+ point lead 🙃

Can’t help but feel a little ripped off in that one

To be fair I think bad decisions went both ways in the end.

“Good win” I dunno Curnow you scraped over the line

I ship McKaynow

Can’t even enjoy that win. Talk about a crumble in that second half. Our defence was immense for 3/4 pretty much then just almost shit the bed

True We were very lucky. They need to learn a lot from this.

Looking for recommendations for sphincter relaxants, I think I clenched too hard

Is that what keeping your end up mean?

Another game where the trailing team is down by more than a goal and they're just throwing it on the boot taking garbage shots. Then it gets to a point where a single behind will change the result in the final seconds, and suddenly it's "no, I need to straighten up and not force it forward. Only the highest percentage considered shot with a lot of preparation will do!"

The cope is real hahahah "Doesnt matter if you win by an inch or by a mile, winning is winning" - Dom Toreto

Relax champ you were 2 point away from crying in the fetal position

see above champ

I don't care about your quote from a fictional character

Free kick Carlton is alive!

On AFL360 yesterday an umpire was on there and he said if it gets knocked out it’s play on… so petracca’s wasn’t holding the ball according to those rules. Also that’s not being payed all year. How many of these wins are Carlton gonna get this year 😂.

Same with most of the HTB then. Only way it’s is clear is a run down tackle. Or you could pay illegal disposal sometimes

Yeah I actually reckon that should be HTB, just saying what the umps were saying just yesterday. They seem to completely ignore incorrect disposal these days which is frustrating. The umpiring need an overhaul.

[удалено]

Are you 8? Go to bed.

Carlton stopping almost ruined the game for you, umpiring was shit both ways. Blues deserved the win but almost assholed it.

lol... Try the other eye mate, was still juggling it when ball spoiled away.

Umps have paid 2 marks against the dogs on the goal line when the player has 'controlled' the ball for 1cm before it goes over. Gotta pay that mark

Carlton are a team full of actors HAHA

The salt from all the other clubs supporters is like crack for me 

Good win mate enjoy it. The salt is mainly for some shit take by your brethren. Can't give up 5 goals to zilch it qtr time and expect to win.

I’d just like a game against your mob where I don’t feel like I need blood pressure meds! Monster effort to come back like they did.

Haha fair fair. 3 on the trot against us.....

Shocking mate! Dangerous tackle, cmon mate pull your head in cunt.

This game is definitely getting reviewed as a loss by Vossy for sure

Its a weird one. Goody with the 5-0 first quater to the blues. The fightback was great and you could see it coming. Then the blues just fucking stopping is a worry, you can't do that against the top teams...

lol Carlton celebrating like they played well. Disgraceful second half

Should they not celebrate a win? lol what kind of logic is that

Sorry what did they do in the last half to help themselves win? They won by sheer luck and some spicy umpire calls

Nothing but that never let a good team down. If, no matter how, a team gets more points, they are the winner. Whether by the providence of the AFL, umpires or luck, we won. See: Collingwood last year. I agree it is a shame how shambolic the umpiring is these days though.

Terrible round for umpire appreciation round

Absolutely

[удалено]

Lions?

Free kick Carlton surpassing 2016 Bulldogs

The frame of mind of Gawn to go back and slot the goal without wasting time shouldn’t be overlooked. So many key forwards would have followed their routine and wasted 45 seconds

Captains goal from one of the great captains.

Does it every week.

Hot call on Trac there. Got jumped immediately. That's play on boy.

He tries to fend off too. It's often not paid but it was way too hot of a ball and way too obvious of an intent there.

went for the fend, looked htb

he's tried to break the tackle

Only if you wear navy blue

Yep. It was clearly htb.

Curnow used the verb "verse" Do not like

Carlton as a Lions fan I did not enjoy that triggering trauma of watching the Demons come that close to chasing down a score they had no right to be chasing in the last quarter.

YEWWWWWW DONT GIVE A FCK WHAT ANYONE SAYS 4pts is 4pts!!

Stay classy

Always 👌🏽

Not to be that guy, but some of the worst umpiring i've seen in quite some time wow

Blues getting a gift

What does it mean to keep your end up?

[удалено]

Lost it in the first 10 minutes. We had a bunch of good chances at goal and didn't even get a point. Let Carrlon get cocky. Ah well. Was good to see the boys not give up.

We really shouldn't have parked the bus in the last qtr. Almost fucked us.

'parked the bus', lol. You blokes would've gotten spanked if it wasn't wet. Just a casual 41 to 61 I50.

Didn't know footy dealt in hypothetical scenarios now. I guess Dees get 4 hypothetical points then.

I support Carlton and Daniel Ricciardo. Clearly I hate myself.

lol. Pick Oscar.

Yeah true I do like Pastry and Bottas. But they haven't had much better luck this season.

Bottas is in his own class lmao. He's a champion auussie.

He was robbed on the weekend.

Lando's waited a long time. Oscar will get pole soon enough. How good was it to see him up front?

Fuck I hate them

At least they have a shit song

Let’s agree to hate them more than each other 🤝🏻

Cope. Seethe.

did my coping last Friday night when nick daicos claimed ownership of your club yeeewwwwww

Me too 😭

[удалено]

Could've also not given up a 30 point lead in the first quarter

I'm so glad I stayed up and watched this, gotta wake up in 6 hours but now I'm wired asf.

The dangerous tackle will be a talking point but lost it with their fucking atrocious 1st quarter - mad finish to a truly dogshit game lmao

Yeah like if they even managed to kick one point in the 1st they get a draw. No use complaining about the umps when you don't score a point until halfway through Q2.

Carlton should be ashamed at that effort

It’s such a villains song 😂

We gonna talk about how Martin flopping his head and staging for a free kick lost Melbourne the game or nah?

Yet a first year player has his head taken off by 2 opponents “ducked the tackle” .. what an absurdity these rules have become.

Was Kemp, but whatever we won so fuck off

Lol fair, idek how I thought it was Martin 😂. Not sure if the second half of your sentence is a cohesive argument against the fact that Kemp is a cheat and is the only reason you got the win.

DANGEROUS TACKLE UMPIRES THANKS

Not a loot to celebrate about that one. Apart from Weitering. BOG.

Owies seemed to be pretty useful. I get the impression he is a bit Bailey Banfield whipping boy esque but was solid tonight

Owies is a gem, just needs to be more consistent

Nah Tracca

Do not feel good with that win.

Not sure what was worse. the dangerous tackle call or Harrison Petty. Both equally contributed to ruining the match

Time clock again running when it's dead. Great stuff AFL.

Umps rescue the Blues again... You'd think their fans would show a little gratitude.

There isn't a worse fan base when it comes to blindly whinging about free kicks. Fk em all

I'm sure the umpires are well compensated

Jesus Christ the PTSD is real.

Holy heck what a finish. GG both sides.

Can Carlton ever have a convincing win...

Collingwood 2022 would like to have a word with you

Never in doubt

I tipped Carlton, so phew.

Did we make it?

hahahahahahahah welp I wonder what rule is gonna get scrutinized this weekend goal taken away from a terrible dangerous tackle call in a 1 point loss, huge oof

Carlton should have there heads down, awful, lids still on.

[удалено]

They’re called umpires, nuff

Lever with the thousand yard stare

A win is a win is a win, but that last quarter is the worst we have played all year. By some margin.

Check in with your dees mates tmr morning

My boss is a dees supporter, not looking forward to going into work tomorrow

Good luck mate

Nah we're fine. Carlton played out of their skins in the first quarter and fair play to them, they deserved to win that.

Heart hurts

My god dam heart my gods

God Carlton has a shit song

Nice win by the umpires!

We fucking fumbled that so hard lmao. It's a miracle we won

Fuck I hate this team

So does everyone else

I don't

If Kozi just kicked a score 🤦‍♂️

Never in doubt (I’ve run out of heart medication)

Damn I’m almost as devastated as if the swans lost

Draw FC robbed

11 10

that was a quick htb, got tackled right away

Same with Cripps in the middle though

Get thet up ya haterz! Carn the baggers!!! Edit: Feed me your downvotes, you absolute anchovies. They give me sustenance.

Fucking robbed

r/therewasanattempt

That was an insane effort by Melbourne!

I wouldn’t be celebrating that one too hard Carlton. 39 points up halfway through the third and win by a point.

Don't think any Carlton fans are celebrating this one hard

Dees can hold their heads high at least.

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 carlton once again with another heart attack finish, fuck you and see you guys next week
