Do any Carlton supporters honestly believe he'd get a game in a top four team?
A top 4 team would get his kicking sorted once and for all, and he'd be a great addition.

On tonight's performance ABSOLUTELY.
You can't judge a game only on shots at goal.

Yes. With the possible exception of Sydney, he'd be a walk up start in any team.

At one point in the 1st or 2nd he was wresting with 4 Richmond players at once - took no crap, no backward steps, ended up with a ripped jersey. Oh, and did I mention his ball usage ?
He is just awesome.

Buckley was poor offensively tonight but only a fool would write him off on one game.

Freo wanted him Bad in the offseason. Would be lining up FF on Saturday for them.
Probably for the Hawks too

I enjoyed the game. Tonight's game was a lot more exciting than a lot of the footy last year. The ball was moving a lot more and congestion wasn't such an issue.
Weitering is obviously going to be a star. Amazing composure for a 1st gamer. Great to see Kreuzer back to his best. Hope his foot problems are a thing of the past, touch wood. Our centresquare mids are as good as any. How good can Cripps get? Kerridge has proved that the trade for Menzel will end up in our favour. Boekhurst is coming on now he's used to the pace of AFL footy. Fair chance he'll end up better than Laverde. Wright and Lamb were promising.
I had my money on Carlton at the +27.5 point line, so The season is off to a good start.

Those still clinging to ghosts of coaches past?
Re: Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications - DJC - 03-24-2016
How refreshing is it to have a coach who is articulate, on message and deals with the media politely but with authority?

on the one hand I'm a little gutted, the game was there to be won, but too many silly errors and bad misses for goal.
But on the other I'm pretty damn happy, it is nice to actually feel some passion again after pretty much just going through the motions the last couple of years.
