Re: Round 12: Carlton vs. Port Adelaide - Post match celebrations - Dominator_7 - 06-20-2015
Exhilarating, brutal football!
Barker has modernised our team
Got us playing with guts and determination
The tackling today was the best I've seen in years
Cripps will be an absolute superstar, if he isn't already
Nick Graham..... I WAS WRONG!
Dylan Buckley... great run off half back
Doc.... future leader
Oh how we ve missed Kreuz!!
Sam Rowe is back to his 2014 form down back
Can not believe the difference in this side in the space of 3 weeks.
WOW... what a bit of confidence does to you!!!

Barker has got the basics right and has concentrated on making the football more fun and attacking, plus he is giving kids responsibility and they are responding.
I'm not getting carried away with Barker but is he that good to turn around the teams effort?or was Malthouse that bad and out of touch with the modern game?....I'm thinking its more the latter....
I tend to agree after today. We seem to have a lot more urgency, confidence and spontaneity under Barker so far. We looked bogged down, tentative and hesitant by comparison under MM. This is only the start - I'm hoping for more improvement as our confidence builds and we get back some more belief.

Yep..but we need to get another big imposing mid to help him out because teams will wise up now that he is our new gun and start targeting him...

Before everyone starts wheeling the boots into White......is he a key position defender? Absolutely not. Is he being asked to play a role he is not equipped to do? Absolutely yes. Bit of perspective people, who else would you have standing the 2nd best opposition tall forward at the moment without hurting our current forward set-up of Hendo-Everitt-Caboult? White is clearly out of his depth, but he's not a key defender's bootlace & never has been....maybe if Jaksch wasn't such a spud, White wouldn't be getting exposed - but to his credit, White is leaving nothing out on the field & has been far from disgraced.

Agree...being forced to play on bigger more talented KP players isnt right but given Jamison is still coming back from injury and Jaksch is still learning the game we dont have much choice.
He gives us some grunt and you need a couple of honest Indians to make a team....

Bell's a decent lump of a lad.

Can't quite decide if today it is an indictment on Mick or the players or both or the entire club.... how the heck did they serve up the tripe we were forced to watch for the past 3 months? Unbelievable.
Anyway, fantastic game today, attended for the first time since the Collingwood match. Put real physical pressure on Port, dare i say it, we imposed ourselves physically. Well coached by Barker, got the team to implement what was required to disrupt Port. Only criticism was that he should have bought Walker on 10 minutes earlier... we were fading fast in the last qtr.
Cripps is something to get excited about... just his 12th game today. I thought Bell was great also, along with the skipper. Real gutsy performance in the last qtr.
