Standing in and getting beaten in the ruck makes him important to the win? I don't think he was instrumental at all in ruck duels in last and I gave credit to him early in the first because he looked fantastic, but I can look at the rest of the game and see he let the team down particularly in the last 45-50 minutes (despite still taking come good marks at times).
By the last he looked completely shot and it looked like those around him knew it also.

His kicks fell short when he was passing the ball, except for an almost perfect kick to Thomas. His kicking for goal was terrible - the ball drop was high and he didn't settle down and fix it he tried to kick it harder. He almost played May into form in the last quarter when he read the ball poorly in the air and didn't put any pressure on May. His ruck work was much less effective than it has been recently. After an excellent first 20 minutes or so, he really had a game to forget.
That won't be the case all of the time, but he really had a game that nightmares are made of.

Kruezer also in career best form... would love to see him destroy Nankervis next week.

Since then Kreuzer has, if anything, improved. His confidence is up. As long as he respects Nankervis and keeps him under control, we will have a decent chance.

One thing for sure, if Adelaide does come knocking in October after another failed September, they might be a bit more willing to pay overs if he keeps playing like this.
Re: Rd 13: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs GC - thrunthrublu - 06-18-2017
we've had 2 back man come out of nowhere to stiffen the backline
ASOS and jones
The other around them have lifted because of it
Docherty is AA lock in. Would love to see him run through the middle more. Reads the play effortlessly
Gibbs - Best game for us (since i can remember) added some cnt to his game.
C. Curnow is improving with confidence. I was a little concerned earlier, the speed of the game was too much for him
Thomas is improving, Good move blues, getting the distraction of contracts away from cobblers
When we were challenged and we held, i thought the frenetic pace of the week before and the wasted chances earlier , we would capitulate
Thats what we're used to as supporters. But we held, resisted, regrouped and found a way to win. This is the coach, this is the belief he has instilled into this group.
We are no longer a club, no players would want to come to

Beating gc at home is a great effort let alone with half our team under 21. Awesome.
Totally agree.
Without efforts of the much maligned Levi and Daisy, the benchmark could have been much lower. Love em or hate em, they set the tone for a fabulous standard.
Excellent effort from the stars to the boot lacers. Like with GWS, we witnessed our boys pull off a 8-10 goal turnaround from out last outing. Progress even to our stiffest critic - surely.
Go new Blues
Enjoy your celebration bluebaggers

Yes, after that performance it's hard to imagine Gibbs still has a mind to leave now.
Re: Rd 13: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs GC - Lods - 06-18-2017
Maybe that or...It could be that despite some opinions to the contrary before the season started that he's displaying a great deal of professionalism and may still seek a move at the end of the year.
If so it's a credit to him and in stark contrast to some who have left us in recent times.
