Can't keep turning it over.

Ballwatching in defence too gifts the Blues a goal.

21 - 18

[one-eyed]

Kicking long and high inside 50 to outsized small forwards doesn't work. Another turnover. Just gifting Carlton the ball on the rebound.

21 - 19

[one-eyed]

Another goal to Carlton.

21 - 25

Getting smashed in the centre without a proper ruck too.

[one-eyed]

Disgraceful umpiring. Clear mark to Lachie Johnson with the ball being punch out afterwards. Ump calls play on and Carlton get another goal from it  .

21 - 31

[one-eyed]

These umps got their Carlton jumpers on this quarter. Olden grabbed high = no free.

Finally get a free kick this quarter. Austin Johnson long to the top of the square. Off hands and Olden taken high again. This one paid.

Missed another sitter from 15m out directly in front  .

22 - 31

Steely Green intercepts the kick-in. 35m out. Misses as well.

23 - 31


The skill level tonight is Auskick level at best.

[one-eyed]

1-2-1-2 between Trezise and Street. Street from 45 goes to 5m out. Blue defender makes a horrible error and Green soccers it (just) through  .
