So, you open Google Chrome on your phone, you're

0:02

rushing to buy tickets to a concert that all your friends

0:04

are going to. Picture yourself now, crowd

0:07

surfing to the front, being invited onto the

0:09

stage, backstage the world tour, and

0:11

before you know it, you're dancing in Tokyo.

0:14

Wait, what?

0:16

Three tickets left? It's

0:19

a good thing your saved payment details

0:21

auto-fill quickly and securely. There's

0:24

no place like Chrome. Download Google

0:30

Monday morning. This is

0:33

your town. This is your station.

0:36

This is Waitly. Good

0:38

morning! Just for today, the

0:40

text number, so punch it into your phone now

0:42

as you cast your snap judgments. 0427 154 166.

0:47

So,

0:50

we're using the South Australian number today. 0427 154 166.

0:57

It was suggested to me on Saturday that

0:59

I come on, say good morning, and then hand

1:01

snap judgments over to our Carleton supporters.

1:04

I'm not going to do that. Upheaval,

1:08

uprising, upsets. Seismic

1:11

results to reshape the terrain. The

1:13

earthquake just before midnight seemed like

1:15

a fitting punctuation point to close round 11.

1:19

Half a dozen results that shifted the

1:21

tectonic plates, each measuring

1:23

higher than the 3.8 magnitude

1:25

that shook Melbourne briefly last night.

1:28

Some were merely disconcerting, an

1:30

event to have the kids jump from their beds

1:33

out of sheer curiosity. Others proved

1:36

damaging,

1:37

confirming fault lines that threatened to

1:39

open up in the months ahead. It's

1:41

a morning for footy seismologists

1:43

to read the tremors.

1:45

We might use the tipping panel in Friday's

1:48

Herald Sun and discount the kiss of death

1:50

to do that. Two teams had

1:52

unanimous 26-0 endorsement. Geelong

1:56

and St Kilda. The Cats with

1:58

a 9.5 on the Richter scale,

2:01

the Valdivia earthquake. In

2:04

the grip of injury, Chalong had

2:06

to find sanctuary under the door frame

2:08

at home.

2:09

They couldn't. Unable to absorb

2:12

or withstand forward-swarming chaos

2:14

footy, the midfield understudies got

2:17

flattened at the crucial stoppages and

2:19

opposition forwards are taking marks against

2:22

them rather alarmingly. Plus

2:24

more injury. The damage is now

2:26

severe

2:28

and they're bracing for the aftershocks fearing

2:30

matters will get worse. The

2:33

Saints, that was in the 8.4 range,

2:36

just trying to bank one more win

2:39

on the way to the safe harbour of the

2:41

buy. Hawthorne's

2:42

strategy was excellent. Sam

2:44

Mitchell carried the day, but it looked

2:47

to have faltered when the margin was 20 points

2:49

in the last quarter and it all might

2:51

have been averted had Jack Higgins

2:53

not spilled the milk,

2:55

but it triggered catastrophe in a ferocious

2:58

late shake from the Hawks. It's

3:01

a costly loss that will be fully

3:03

understood in hindsight. Melbourne

3:06

and the Bulldogs had a

3:08

24-2 majority from the pundits. The

3:11

demons are a 7.2 magnitude, not

3:13

unforeseen and not without precedent. They're

3:16

just not the team we imagine. And

3:18

Fremantle triggered the same fault line 12 months

3:21

on. The Bulldogs measured at 6.6, as

3:25

much for missed opportunity as anything else.

3:27

There will be a deep sense of annoyance.

3:30

They let fourth place slip

3:32

through their fingers. Brisbane

3:35

was expected to win by 22 of 26 tipsters, but Adelaide in

3:38

Adelaide is high

3:41

on the risk profile. Assessors

3:43

will look at the shaky one goal nine in the

3:45

third quarter and find the source.

3:48

It's a 5.1 annoyance,

3:50

but they'll get back to their lives largely unaffected.

3:53

The mildest earthquake caused the

3:55

greatest damage. It might only

3:57

have measured at 4.3.

3:59

but it was on the San Andreas Fault. It

4:02

cracked freeways and crumbled buildings as

4:05

the cracks open up. The question

4:07

is will it swallow the

4:09

entire Carlton community? I

4:11

have a sense of trepidation as we launch into Snap

4:14

Judgments on our shaken

4:16

footy landscape. 1300 736 736 and you can text 0427 154 166 our

4:18

Snap Judgments for Snap Fitness, Snap

4:29

Fitness for the feeling. What you feel

4:31

most passionately on a Monday morning, they

4:34

might find its place as the week goes

4:36

on. Snap Judgments ahead

4:38

of

4:39

Monday means test. To make

4:41

sense of what transpired with David

4:43

King, last night's earthquake was Melbourne's

4:46

biggest in 120 years but it

4:48

had nothing

4:49

on the shocks and shakes that hit footy

4:51

with its epicenter on Saturday afternoon.

4:55

I think we just worked hard and

4:57

worked really hard for our results and got what we deserved

5:00

early in the year and I thought we really got what we

5:02

deserve today. I thought they should have won by four or

5:04

five goals. We certainly would

5:06

have pinched it so yeah

5:09

we're really disappointed. We sit here frustrated

5:11

because you don't win a game of footy and you give

5:13

yourself a chance to win a game of footy but we just

5:15

didn't execute with the ball. We

5:18

need to get better. That's where we sit at the moment

5:20

but we're frustrated. We want to be

5:23

a team that wins

5:25

so we've got some work to do. I

5:27

mean it's a really frustrating night and we do feel

5:29

like we are chasing

5:32

our tail a little bit. We're not hiding

5:34

away from the fact that we're not playing as well

5:36

as we could but we think there are some pretty obvious

5:39

reasons for that. So we

5:41

don't think we're in the position where you

5:43

know we need to throw out what we're doing and start

5:46

all over again. We certainly need some tweaks. Seismic

5:49

results to reshape the terrain.
