Re: 2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast - DJC - 04-21-2018
I was disappointed with the result but not really surprised; Wet Toast are on top of the live ladder, have an impressive list and are well coached. However, consistent umpiring could have seen us in with chance.
For me, today was a glimpse of the future with Harry McKay booting 4 goals, Patrick Cripps playing a great captain’s game (after an unimpressive effort last game) and Charlie Curnow, Fisher, Dow, O’Brien, Samo, SOJ and Garlett all contributing. Phillips did OK too.
Jones was back to his best and Rowe did well for an underdone key defender (who was it who said we had too many tall defenders? ???? )
Last of all, I want to acknowledge Bolts who showed that he is head and shoulders above the so-called footy experts (how does Jonathan Brown get to criticise someone’s expression?) and can get the most out of a young, inexperienced list.
There’s a long way to go but at least we’re on the right track.

I'm stoked to be proven wrong. I thought we'd get smashed. :
Can't say enough about the leadership shown tonight. Our backs looked organized. Holding WC with the addition of Kennedy to <100 is a 2018 achievement I'm happy to take.
Crippa led our young mids in a Judd-like manner. Even our forward line looked organized. I loved big Harry's performance supported by Levi, who threw his weight around nicely. Phillips did a great job against the league's best.
Great team effort. If that's what we stand for - count me in.

Sigh, .... Didn't see or hear any of the game but it sounds like we've saved all our best efforts for a team we shouldn't be able to beat rather than the the ones we should. Very frustrating.

Going back to they style we know best helped. We may have tried to take it a step too far the way we tried to alter our game plan.

Lot better effort ????
Re: 2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast - LoveNavy - 04-21-2018
How often do you see top 3 players in a game from the team who came 2nd?
Great effort.

It looks like that's exactly what we did. It's a long road we're on and we will make mistakes but it looks like we've got back on track.

Agree to disagree......no poise whatsoever, absolute panic-merchant, makes bad decisions & his disposal is fair at best. How he got picked @ #3 in any draft, words fail me. Just a plodder at best, give me a fix Alex Silvagni over that spud any day of the week.
