AFL Game Day R1 - 2024

Would you like someone else's blood all over you.

Everyone does it, it’s just how it is.
I am not sure how much you watch footy but I would say it happens most games.

Well it is wrong, and the rules are clear.

[Bulldog Joe]

So I have a Carlton mate who says the umpiring was incredibly bias to the tigers and I know tigers fans who say the opposite . Which team did they actually favour ? The free kicks were 24-17 blues way but we all know it?s not necessarily how many you get but where you get them and how many were missed or given that were wrong.

I actually thought Richmond got the rub of the green early.

Lynch got the 1st 2 goals from soft frees and they refused to play a few in the Blues forward line.
Strangely the free count was strongly Carlton's way at half time and didn't get any worse despite Carlton appearing to get a better run in the 2nd half on my interpretation.

Richmond lost the game through poor field kicking and not being able to hit a target.

They also just bombed it into the forward line and Carlton intercepted everything coming their way.

Richmond got some soft frees early on and then Carlton benefitted from some very soft calls late. Ultimately though Richmond couldn't hit a target to save their lives.

Better not tell Hanneberry that the number of free kicks has no bearing on whether or not the decisions were correct.

Carlton winning on turnover and getting smashed on clearance/scores from stoppage differential was very different to the last 18 months.

I think Carlton should have won by more to be honest , they missed more easy shots than the tigers.

You’re talking AFL here , nothing is black and white.

[Bulldog Joe]

You’re talking AFL here , nothing is black and white.

That would be especially correct with a blood rule.

[Testekill]

Pies have been poor tonight but jeez they make it look easy when they take their chances.

[Testekill]

If I were Collingwood then I would be throwing EVERYTHING at Jamarra, they desperately need a tall spearhead.

[GVGjr]

Pies have a bit of work to do. It's going to be interesting to see how hard they fight this one out.

[Grantysghost]

Will Philips over Logan McDonald can ANYONE explain it to me.

[bornadog]

Picked Pies but prefer Swans win

Swans look pretty bloody good.

Warner and Mcinerney are very impressive. Play with an intent that all sides need.
