Round 3 Discussion

[G-Mo77]

Collingwood actually looked under the pump for quite a while. Carlton seemed to relax a little in the 2nd and find themselves in a 4 goal hole at half time.

Let's discuss Round 3.

Re: Round 3 Discussion

Collingwood's ability to go to another level after a tense period is the hallmark of a champion side. They mentioned on the telecast that Brisbane also had this ability. So did Geelong.

I've been reasonably impressed with Carlton though. They've looked dangerous when kicking long and deep on the rebound. From a Bulldogs perspective, throwing Brian forward will definitely need to be looked at to try and stretch their defence.

Having Markovic as a genuine key defensive cover might be handy.

Gee its hard to tell the difference between the 2 teams, particularly the socks. What's the use in having a policy to avoid such clashes if its not going to be enforced?

The stronger clubs tell them to get stuffed and the AFL back down and won't enforce anything. We do what we are asked.

You're right. Collingwood change to black backs just to get one over port should never been allowed.

Same old Carlton for me. Poor defense, rucks iffy. Like Yarran and Garrlett but Betts is horrible

Or at least revert to their old (clash) strip against Carlton

Oh FFS why in he'll is it a problem for these teams to wear a bloody clash strip!
If it's bloody good enough for iconic sporting teams to wear a clash strip why in hell isn't it okay for bloody domestic Footy teams. Suppose we'll get the usual Dogs bollox about tradition and constitutions. Players don't perform any differently with a clash strip on,and it's utter tripe that it wasn't a problem previously as the game is hundred miles an hour quicker and has 30 players around the contest.

Afl stop Being s*** frightened of the big boys!!

For over a hundred years we had clubs wearing white shorts and black shorts now its an issue. Why can't we all wear our tradditional colours?

WCE v Swans: anyone just see that goal from Jetta? Goal of the Year IMO. Amazing.

Because it's crap to watch the game when you cant make out which team is which.

It's an issue because the game has 30 players around the ball and is frantic where as previously it was one on one and a lot slower.
Teams have changed their colors back panels constantly (even Collingwood Richmond and Hawthorn)

Re: Round 3 Discussion

Observations from Round 3
Collingwood played Carlton like a cat plays with a ball of wool.
Richmond being outclassed by a team on form is Collingwood's only challenger(early days)
Sydney and West Coast playing their usual ball up stoppage slogothon
Sydney look a key defender short with Everitt playing key back (ouch!)loss of Bolton is going to hurt.
Adelaide is the big surprise throughly outplayed by Freo( just puts into perspective that you take notice of Round 1)

Wasn't a problem when everyone wore their traditional colours, instead of black backs etc. No problems in the 70's and 80's or even the 90's.
