Round 8: the stuck in the Burnley tunnel games.

Now, they look like a true premiership favourite. I don't want Scumwood or Boringbourne to win, so I'll back the Paddle Pops.

Their speed and pressure has definitely impressed. A contender with most components in place now.

I didn't watch the game, but looked in on the scores every now and again, and also looked at the stats.

At the end of the game:
Most Disposals: Carlton
Most Kicks: Brisbane, but very close
Most Handballs (or at least throws not called): Carlton
Inside 50s: even
Most Contested Possessions: Carlton
Least Turnovers: Carlton
Higher Score: Brisbane

We should be worried about Brisbane, Fagan might have learned his lesson, stats matter little when the scoreboard says the opposite. They might get somewhere at this rate.

We'll see how they go outside in Melbourne though.

But funny how the southern teams like RFC go up there and have to play the Qld teams at their HGs in their conditions, whether that means heat, humidity, heavy dew, tropical rainstorm.
They come down here and get an indoor, roofed stadium - no wind, no rain, no cold.

And, in our case, not even getting to play GCS at our home. That must be part of equalisation. And it sucks!
 
Patrick cripps is a bad bad thrower, got away with 6 tonight. Clear as the bulldogs throwers.
Lachy Neil drives his head into the ground every tackle, that *smile* got another player suspended because he is a flog.
Come on tigers, win a few for us all.

He retired last year.
You don't see Houli or Astbury in the crowd with there 3 medals wearing there old Richmond jumper.
And I'm pretty sure Houli played more games for us then Essendon.
 
Heh heh heh. Beyond Blues fans booing the team at 3/4 time, walking out during the last quarter and going ballistic on call-in radio last night.

And it’s only gonna get tougher from here !

Could be because that is Carlton’s HG. They only get a few at the mcg so why would they waste it (financially) on an interstate team.

Yeah - supporters do that when they become impatient - a team that teases, an almost team when on paper they should be contenders - could never imagine us tiger supporters ever doing that - ever……….:help

Geelong allowed to hold on to players without the football for as long as they like and no holding the man.
