Carlton v Wolves

Round 34 report by David Arnold
Carlton SC v Wollongong Wolves


Pretty even game. We scored after Moreira had a shot blocked, then cleared to Simes? who played in Moreira again. He waited for Pogliacomi to commit before placing it past him.

This is Moreira? Er, he's done pretty well lately. Setup a goal 2 weeks ago and scored a classic counterattack against Les and Joinery Olympic.

They equalised after a cross eluded our defence (again) and Ceccoli took his time thrashing a cross off the post.

Moreira won the game with a shameful dive. I was directly in front of him, no more than 5 metres away, when he rounded Pogliacomi, who was stupid enough to stick out an arm. Moreira needed no invitation to throw himself to the floor. I was certain Micallef was going to show him the yellow card but instead he whistled for the pen which Marth converted.

Andrew Shead asked how many penalties has Marth scored this year? 6. 4 at home, 2 for the winner (Spirit and tonight). 2 for the draw (Marconi, Gippsland). Away at Souths and Marconi. He's scored 13 in total, many for the winner or draw.

Away at Marconi. At this point I'm just relieved we've avoided Adelaide City.
