Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) - PassIt2Carrots - 08-23-2015
BOOM!! The sky isn't falling after all. After losing Murph and jamo in the third term that was a great win.
You just need to see the thrilled look on Cripps' face after the win to realise how important it is to win instead of tanking. Speaking of which what a superstar he is. With players like him to build around we certainly have a future.
Glad Simon White got injured so Jaksch has gotten a run, he shows real potential as does Boekhorst who is coming along nicely. I think we all agreed we wanted Boeky as a regular by season's end and I think we now have that.
Watto showed he still has plenty to offer, hopefully plays out the season.

I don't think players tank.
I think they always try.
That's why the looks on their faces are genuine
If it occurs it's through team selections, player placements, rotations etc.
I don't know if we are or not.....but Melbourne are really bad....and the contrast between our first and second half was stark.

Spewin' we gave up Jeffy!!! We knew EXACTLY how to play him. He melted!! Whiley worth persevering with. Thought he was busy. Bucks took them on and made a difference through the centre.

We dropped off when Murphy and Jameson went off.

I sensed it happened before then.

Talk about winning ugly. But it'll do.
Few injuries though - murphy, Jamison, Kreuzer and maybe Menzel? Will the northern blues even field a team next week?

We wasted 90% of Walker's career playing him in defence. So much better when played forward.

x2...As you said players dont tank but coaches change things to limit scoring, open up play, change players depending on what result they want.
Melbourne are bad...really bad...
Thought Kruezer and Cripps won the game for us...wasnt taken with Tutt, Whiley etc like some others, just thought they were reasonable vs sub standard opposition.

Yeah I think Melbourne were always going to come out firing in the second half after being thumped. They kicked 6 goals to nil against the Doggies in the same scenario last week. I think any suggestion of tanking in the second half is a bit far fetched TBH. That's just my opinion.
