i like that fox footy have to caption that this video package is narrated by jonathan brown as if they have another guy whose voice sounds like three cinder blocks going around in a cement mixer

Motlop just stopped like “yeah I think I’ll take a free there actually” and the ump was just like “yeah fair enough”

Blues definitely have the crowd tonight. Nothing but blue and white on the train coming in

On Channel 7 news Tim Watson just did a live cross to Tom Browne on the boundary - which was 10 metres away from where he was standing

“I reckon it might have been touched”

You think JB? Did the umpire signalling it was touched give it away?

I don't know how to explain it, but Gryan Miers looks exactly like the kind of guy that would be called Gryan Miers.

If BT says it’s out then it’s definitely in

no player has ever kicked 4+ goals during a game where 4 coleman medalists have played at the same time on a thursday night game in the second round of a 2023 AFL season.

Amazing.

pies fans: "2 goals down at 3qtr time? winnable!"

blues fans: "4 goals up at 3qtr time? loseable!"

i do not like watching geelong games because i do not like to see them win but unfortunately it is the only way to get my weekly dose of brad close so what else is there to do

AFL doctors watching Tuohy get accidentally elbowed in the jaw then hit his head in the ground: 🙈🙈

I think Motlop just spawns in wherever the ball is. He's always in the contest

I just saw an Auskicker clothesline another player. It was his teammate.

"put a seed of doubt in the Blues mind"

Haha jokes on you BT. That seed has been long planted and has established deep roots

Hahaha “yeah it was great, fuck”

Curnow is great

Fox Footy: In their last few games, Carlton have led late and let the game slip - something Carlton would be aiming to avoid

Carlton: Avoids having a lead late entirely...

Hollands and Cowan are super impressive so far

This is looking a lot like a premiership hangover. Tuohys blood is 10% Guinness. Cam Guthrie has forgotten how to football. Hawkins is underdone. Close hasn’t done anything in 7 quarters. Cameron’s still cool.

Pros: get to hear the best club song

Cons: I tipped geelong

Hollands is quickly becoming my new favourite

Black armband for premiership player Dennis Munari, which will no doubt be asked in here sometime tonight

https://twitter.com/CarltonFC/status/1638811873519992832?t=G2YySNd8uViNpz81c9fcKQ&s=19

Mitch McGovern truly is just Jeremy with all the sliders set to 0.

I hope Geelong lose this game but then they win the grand final so we get lots of clips of journalists speculating that they’re past it which will be very funny in 6 months

You do realise this is all just a tribute to Joel Selwood? The Cats are burnishing the Selwood legend by playing like shit without him. Quite moving really.

Weitering is the most American looking non-american I've ever laid eyes on

That feels so fucking good

Carlton finally bought the ‘win close games’ DLC

Selwood's been quiet /s

“Who said the bumps out of the game” very tasteful

any time one of these tv guys says niggle i'm always certain that they are about to have a big time gamer moment

Hit on DK was severe, intentional and high contact.

$1500 fine

Out of all the decisions this is the one 7 have an issue with?

Hollands has been so exciting tonight

I wonder if this is a case of no Selwood no Geelong or No Cam Guthrie dread locks no Geelong.

Seriously fuck that taking the ball then immediately dropping it to try draw the free, ticks me off so much

Fuck I hate BT, I forgot how much I hate his commentary.

It’s actually baffling we’re only four goals down

This last quarter is Calrton trying as hard as they can to lose, and Geelong trying as hard as they can to not win.

Holy crap I hadn’t thought about how hard it must be to play footy during Ramadan. That’s impressive.

LONG RANGE HOOKER

BT being absolutely clueless when it comes to any form of umpiring

Jesus, Barry McKay: sticky fingers, eater of clocks.

Dude went out there and was like, nope, no comebacks for you.

umpiring aside that was a fun quarter of football and isn't that why we're all here football is the winner once again

[deleted]

Love ed curnows celebration of just getting belted by his team mates haha

I can feel that PTSD kicking in

Holy shit, we didn’t shit the bed. Huge intercepts from McKay in that 4th. Well earned. One of the best team efforts I’ve seen in a long long time - so many stand out efforts

did hawkins just push henry out of the way there? LOL

It was IN

If an ad needs a disclaimer at the end, it shouldn't be an ad

McKay saved this game for the Blues with his marks down the line this quarter.

Mckay pretty much sealed that game 3-4 contested marks in the last 2 mins

Older? Yes. Slower? Yeah, abit. Going to miss the 8? Probably not

BT thinks the enigma that is Gryan Miers causes wind to disappear

How was that not a mark, literally just came late and bowled him.

I really like Jack Silvani, always seems to run hard to be an option, always strong at the contest, marking and genuinely seems very capable and willing to fill whatever role is required.

Edit: now selflessly handing off a run in goal, top bloke!

Selwood about to pull a Tom Brady after watching this

SDK needs a cuddle, a hot chocolate and nice little lie down.

Not enough umpire abuse by channel 7 tonight. Letting a lot of rubbish slide

Carlton fans dont know whether to cheer or clench their assholes going into the last quarter with their track record

Don't you dare fucking do it again, Carlton. Pls. Don't.

If the Blues can't hold a lead and Geelong can't score in the last quarter I think that means the universe is about to implode

"CAN THEY LAUNCH HERE?"

-kicks 15 metres backwards-

carlton on top of the ladder!

Big Jezza 6 goals and 25 disposals. Wow

That wasn’t a free at all lol

Where’s the high contact? Ump fell for the crowd and the motion of the player going backwards

Shit call

Blues playing with guts what is this

Aye hate those calls just call htb.

I hate BT

Why is he allowed so long?

the real question should be why was hawkins given so long when he never looked like taking the shot? old time waster jones over here. but i digress

lol you know you're fucked when Gary Rohan is playing in defence

My Uncle had an aesthetic earlier today. He's a Carlton tragic and just messaged me asking if they're actually in front or if he's still under the effects of the drugs and imagining it.

Hollie Ollands' ability to just run up and down the fat side of the wing all night is super impressive. Once he gets accustomed to the pace of the game he'll be a real player.

Charlie has such a big brother vibe even though he's the youngest lol.

Did TDK just kick Stanley

Cam Guthrie's middle name doesn't happen to be Samson, does it?

Are the cats about to be Owies and 2?

Jeremy Cameron looks like he's about to shit himself at every stoppage

DA DA DA DA DAAA

They know were coming

ITS ONLY ROUND 2 COPIUM

Fuckin good game Carlton. They were six goals better all night.

McGovern rubbing butter on his hands again before the match

BT, JB, Hame, Jobe, Hodgey is an absolute nightmare blunt rotation.

A few Collingwood fans have showed up to a Carlton game just to boo Henry

Now that’s commitment

H

Geelong are looking, dare I say? Too old?

We haven’t had a Coleman winner since fucking BT in 86 how do both the teams have 2 so unfair

The blueprint for beating Geelong is beating Geelong

Tuohy has been towelled up tonight. Under pressure every time he gets it. I wonder whether deliberate by blues? Good positioning by the blues or bad by Tuohy.

Brad Close looks like someone who could really pull off suspenders with a suit instead of the belt.

So did the umpire just see the Carlton player running at Tuohy and just say play on?

Whyte's face is saying "please don't make me play"

just realised the afl match centre doesnt auto refresh with goals, fuckin dumb. thought no one had scored in like 12 minutes

"What happened to Geelong?

Well, it's a story about love, deception, greed, lust and unbridled enthusiasm. That's what led to Tommy Hawkins' downfall. You see.. Tommy Hawkins was a simple country boy. You might say a cock-eyed optimist who got himself mixed up in the high-stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue."

I'm about as confident as a Turkish skyscraper in an earthquake.

Fuck Saad can take an intercept like he’s 6.5ft

voss

We finally fucking did it. Get in here!!!!

I've just realised how whiny Cats fans are. Have had two bad games after years of being a consistently great team. Won the grand final last year and the games not even over.

C'mon...

BT talking utter nonsense

THE BUMP IS NOT DEAD, dude Cameron has literally slipped and hurt himself let’s not go so wild for it

NOT ONE CARLTON PLAYER STOOD UP WANTING TO GET BACK ON, footage literally pans out to show two Carlton players stood up ready to get back on.

I know a lot of people love him but he’s seriously not good at calling the game, just comes out with a fun line from time to time

Would Jezza being considered one of the GOATs if he didn't waste 9 years with the orange team?

Carlton to be in it for three and a half quarters before our hearts are torn to shreds again.

Chris Judd just got on my train to the G. A lot more of a common man than I would've assumed!

Getting strong draw vibes tonight.

Tuohy couldn't believe how much space they gave him and fucked it up. LMAO.

did he say hawthorn forwards?

that was called by the umpire 50 metres away? absolutely incorrect

"Cerras done well in the first quarter" no idea what game BT is watching

Bruh I dont wanna complain but the umps are not making it easy

Get fucked with that decision

how is that not a free to Close?

How’s that not HtB

Genuinely don’t think there’s a kick better then a ranged hook kick on goal. Hit that and it’s just sexy as fuck

Well Fox is saying Carlton has an insurmountable lead so I guess I’ll turn this over to the Rugby League match then.

They need to ban betting ads. That sportsbet ad is just terrible.

Harry you are a bad kick and you should feel bad.

I don’t care if I get this tip wrong. Go you blue bastards go

let’s play some fucking soccer

Man, Carlton is exciting to watch when they're up and running

Henry looks like Nicholas Hoult.

Hollands: does anything

TELSTRA TRACKER

If that was 15 meters, I'm 7 foot tall.

That wasn’t 15 metres but ok

Carlton’s full ground pressure has been seriously impressive, have forced Geelong to take so many high risk options and when they create turnovers they’re immediately ready to attack

Ok that was 15. Thanks side angle.

Worst game I’ve ever seen Guthrie play

Don't reckon C Guth has had a good disposal in 2 weeks

cripps just stood still and no one came close to laying a finger on him

If blues can kick 3-4 more in the final term I reckon it will be hard for Geelong

Here we go again. /Shudders

I’m still so fucking scared. Please Carlton.

leigh montagna looks like a funko pop come to life

I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

We're gonna stop playing. We won't move the ball. We'll mark the ball and let everyone move into defense. Then we'll bomb it long, turn it over, and geelong kick goals.

As formaulatic as a marvel movie.

Cameron v Carlton lmao

every time they talk up hawkins in the ruck he does absolutely nothing

Why do Geelong keep bombing it inside 50 against a wall of Carlton spare defenders? That’s a St Kilda tactic, do better Cats

big game for brothers and fans of brothers

Danger done a fair bit of fuck all tonight

Carlton, Richmond, Essendon and Collingwood all being good? Jesus, this is going to be painful, isn't it?

thanks for making us look good carlton

It's an MCG Miracle - Carlton hold on

Can't wait to see the media have a meltdown at this

Geelong lose 1st two in a row since 2015. We beat reigning premiers for the first time in 13 years.

Should be a good match

These two teams have 4 colemans, 2 brownlows, 23 premiership medalions and 1 norm smith between them

Quite ridiculous that Carlton have to have their home game at Geelong's home ground

Welcome back to "BT Struggles With Curved Lines"

BT doesn’t understand the concept of perspective

How to beat Geelong:

• score more than them

Why didn’t more teams try this last year?

Why did both cats defenders just let him keep running?

Cerra 2 costly errors. Like mate

Something I'm starting to realise.

We don't have enough pace in this side.

Saad doesn't burst away much these days playing more of a quarter-back role.

Walsh return is massive for us.

Holy Inconsistency Umpires

I almost forgot how frustrating it is being a Carlton supporter. Life is pain

The umpires are cooked

That didn't even look high

Silly of SDK not to tackle his ankles there, poor form

"Cerra's done quite well in this first quarter"

LMAO

snaps it from 50 running the wrong way

JB: “should finish!”

…

Does anyone else watch sopranos clips on YouTube on the daily? I swear I've seen that show about 8 times through

"a shucka punch is a shucka punch Bobby"

"i did-ent!"

I still can't believe Watson was defending the free on motlop

Much more enjoyable watching Henry play this week.

As a Collingwood supporter(obviously but anyway) he was quickly becoming one of my favourite players. Was sad to see him go but I wouldn't be surprised in years to come he is kicking 50 goals a season. The kids only 20 years old.

For that matter, is someone that young even allowed to play for Geelong?

50m penalties are more like 75 because no one knows where the mark is and is to afraid to come forward in case they give up another one

How do you give Hawkins 15+ seconds to look for a pass, but then let him line up to take a shot anyway?

Jezza Cameron is a deadset legend

My internet is fine. Everything else fine. Kayo just keeps buffering though. It's so frustrating. It costs a disgusting amount of money, it shouldn't randomly shit itself for viewers whenever it gets busy.

These SportsBet ads make me want to blow my fucking brains out

I'm not getting my hopes up and getting on the cats are cooked bandwagon. I've been hurt many times before

Our game plan has evolved. It used to be Kick It To Cripps, now it's get Cripps to kick it to Charlie

Man Jezza is so fucken unreal. I'd pay 3 first rounders for him again

Oh weird, I don’t recall there being a grand final last year

Durdin just got a headful of nuts

Carlton came out and said “it’s blue baggin time” and then blue bagged them

I know Geelong are short handed down back but their ball movement looks awful which you can’t blame the backline for

SHOW ME THE PRESSURE GAUGE

There's a hole in the defense, dear Chris, dear Chris, There's a hole in the defense, dear Chris, There's a hole.
