Carey: Dons' season comes down to this

In his weekly BPL Vidcast, Wayne Carey says the recent spate of lopsided AFL results is an issue but not yet a reason to panic. Those results were to be expected with the introduction of Gold Coast this season. Having said that, Carey revealed he did not bother tuning in to Channel 10's telecast of the Collingwood-Port Adelaide match on Saturday night - won by 138 points by the Pies - because he knew it would be an absolute bore. The dual premiership captain says long shots at goal, such as the one taken by Adam Goodes after the siren on Saturday night, invariably drift left - and that's what caught the Swans' champ out. The resulting win to the Bombers leaves them well-placed to make the final eight, but no certainties: it all boils down to this weekend's match against the Western Bulldogs. In discussing Buddy Franklin's apparently rough deal at the hands of the umpires, Carey said some players always seemed to fare badly with the men in white - Barry Hall being a classic example. Carey said the umpires sometime used to blow the whistle before Hall had even arrived at a contest. Hobbling into the BPL offices after tearing his calf muscle in his comeback game at the weekend, the seven-time All-Australian vowed: ''That's it. No more football for me. The only time I'll raise a sweat in public will be out running on the beach.''
