Has anyone else finding that there is a new found respect for Carlton from supporters of other teams. The number of comments after Sunday's effort has been incredible. Even the 'we were barracking hard for you in the finish' from Tiger, Bomber and even Collingwood supporters.

Bolts was hell bent on this group earning respect and I think we're getting there. 

The Blues get their 2nd chance on TV this year with a game against Werribee on Saturday afternoon.
As the senior play on Saturday night on the Gold Coast, that will make some interesting decisions as to who is where and for how long.

Last time we just failed against Gold Coast: we ran out of gas and let Ablett off the leash.
Now we have a chance to right that wrong, but only if we:
[1] Stop Ablett. He got 37 possessions last time, even though most of them were rubbish until the last quarter.
and
[2] Stop the Gold Coast run and carry out of defence.

Last time they ran the ball out too easily and used their skill to hit targets. Unfortunately their FF could not miss. Lynch beat Rowe in a way that in other forward has managed in the last few years.

Well, not a bad long weekend. Extra day with the family, Carlton win, and Rafa wins his 10th French Open.

Onya Rafa.

Choose ONE ONLY Green Shoot you observed from the game.  Can be a player, passage of play and individual effort, any ONE Shoot that put a smile ???? on your face.

David Cuningham. I think we've found one.

RIP Adam West.
He gave up his career for us...because after being Batman he really couldn't be anyone else...(Except for Cartoons)

It really was a brilliant show with some great actors involved and some hilariously funny moments.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Hopefully we'll have plenty of guys who deserve votes.

I'll be still at the game, so have fun!

I guess we should be used to having nobody expect us to win, but who knows what we can produce.

Apparently a minutes silence for the victims of the London terror attack wasn't part of their culture.




Except it was last year when they honoured the memory of members of the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense who were killed in a plane crash.
