Been some worse sides going around the last 10 years getting Friday night games. Bloody hell, Carlton would have been lucky to be playing in our time zone if that was the case.

Geelong lead Carlton 3 - 1 :roll:

So much for the new rules increasing scoring

With Richmond and Adelaide only kicking 2 goals in recent games the game itself is becoming almost unwatchable.

Thankfully we have the normal 20 min qtrs this year as if we had the shorter qtrs like last year we may well be having scoreless draws :shock:


Its time for drastic action, fo r the crows to kick their lowest score ever at Marvel under a roof tells you how defensive the game has become. The fact that such a bad crows team was able to keep a completely dominant team to 11 also backs that up. Bare in mind the crows played at places like Moorabbin, Windy Hill and Victoria Park in absolute bogs in their early years and still managed to kick more than 2 goals.

The game will not sort itself out like all the anti rule changers think. Weve been waiting a long time for that already.

I dont know what the answer is, maybe restricted numbers inside 50 at all times

Bring in the netball rules. Forwards inside the 50m arc at all times.
Miss can go between the 2 arcs.
Kick backwards anywhere is automatic play-on

I do agree with you although the roof was open at Marvel last night and we missed probably 8-10 shots that I’d be furious if a B grade country footballer missed.

Beautiful conditions at Ballarat.

Can't wait for the crowd number.

Looks like Greenwood has done his knee, perhaps a dislocation.

Decent enough crowd. The locals were always going to support it

This bald umpire has allowed three players to drop the ball in the tackle and has called play on each time.

Last one by Nichols was clearly play on, no prior opportunity before being tackled and made a genuine attempt to kick the footy

“That’s how I saw it”*

* umpires instruction on what to say if questioned on a decision…
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Stewie says it looks like an ACL for Greenwood.

And now Johnson says they fear its worse than just an ACL.
