Re: AFL Rd 1 2022 Post Game Permutations - Tragic - 03-17-2022
Best bit was watching Riewoldt hardly getting a touch. I'm sick of that bloke bobbing up and kicking 3 or 4. Good job by Weiters and co.
The tigers looked a lot like last year. They get their game going and look unbeatable again but don't seem to be able to maintain the rage when they get some stiff resistance. Good sign for us that we pushed through instead of being pushed over.
Perhaps my favourite bit was in the presser and the tone Vossy took when he said we wanted more than one win. I need to watch it again to recall exactly what he said but i know i liked it. Little bit of killer is what we've needed for a long time.

Discipline. Intensity. Persistence. Team.
When was the last time a quality opponent had their foot on our throat (4gls down late in the game) and we removed the foot and jammed it up their collective clackers?

Yes I was still nervous with 5.30 to go but it felt different. It felt good! It felt like we weren’t reliant wholly on Cripps to drag us over the line.
Finally the middle have some strength.
Dare I sayare we set now - back sorted a few years ago, forwards set more recently bar the small forward question which Durdin seems to have come in and made a mark already… and now our midfield!?
Well done recruiters.
Love the ball in Saad’s hands, guy does not stop. McG seems reinvigorated and less flying for nothing. A few others needing to do more but came good at the right time.
Was so proud last night. It’s been a long haul to finally break that crapty first round losing streak ??

Being Carlton, we were all nervous, even when 4 goals up with 60 seconds to go...haha.

I can't remember a more dominant contested midfield win than last night, we only had 4 mids rotating through the centre bounces for the whole night and between them they had 121 possessions, 48 contested, 26 clearances and 6 goals. The way they played together was really something to watch, seemed to know where each other was, or supposed to be, no panicked disposals, held on to the ball and found the right outlet. Huge tick for the coaches.
I know it's only round 1 but signs are there.

So many commentators highlighting our two new mids... but my eyes saw three new mids, the third being M. Kennedy.
And I hope Pitto gets some kudos - deserved.

Loved seeing the players connecting with supporters after the game, though I did hope that all players gave their hands a collective sanitizing wash after this.

Saad’s ability to kick across his body and hit a target 40-50 metres away is uncanny.
Bruce Andrew would be horrified at Saad’s technique but would have to admit that it’s effective.
Saad’s pass to Cripps for a goal was a lucky shank ... but we’ll happily take it.
I wasn’t that keen on adding Saad to our list but he has become a crucial piece of the puzzle.

I love watching gallop away with ball in hand, it’s nice to start feeling confident in a players ability consistently rather than watch behind your hands.

Did we miss Jones last night?

Couple of his disposals were utterly sublime.
