Take the win especially as Cripps wasn't the driving factor... bit of credit to Murphy who setup two goals when we were struggling.
Levi played another great game and Cuningham earned his BOG status.
Gibbons showed again why VFL players are well worth considering and has become very consistent.
Docherty led the back line well and SPS got plaudits from me for his work on Tipper.
Deserved some luck at the end, couldn't believe it was Townsend with that mark given
he kicks like an arrow and thought we were going to be robbed again but justice prevailed.

He fills his shorts and gives away a free 9 times out of ten. Playing quick sides is also a worry, structure is vital to stopping them, get that worng and we look slow. The Aints will trouble us next week, the only consolation is that it's not at Basketball Stadium, Carlton plays much better at the G. Poor old Philpy was lost at sea, he'll be better for the run. Anyone who thinks Murph is soft watch the game. Carlton MUST address goalless qtrs and easy set shot misses.

Now, I accept that the commentators are paid/trained to maintain interest in the game and stop people changing channels, but they should do that in an impartial manner.
They probably were kids when we so arrogantly dominated the competition in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Still, their brains are too small to even understand concepts like impartiality and professionalism.
Equally intriguing though is why they love The Cheaters so much? Makes me think there was so much more to the drugs scandal then we’ll ever know. Which other clubs disinfect their post-2000 silverware every night trying to remove the dank smell that pervades the cabinet?

Totally mystifies me as well. The number of times commentators want to “have another look at that one” when Carlton get “lucky” (Casboult’s mark) compared with blatant transgressions by opponents (Tippingwuti cannons into Levi’s back in Q1 with no eyes for the ball a la Reiwoldt) which don’t even warrant a comment?!?
What is going on? Is it as simple as subliminal subconscious bias?

Hmm. I left the TV for a while and my son told me Levi missed 2 in quick succession and from the same spot. Both OOF. But then, he watches his phone and the TV at the same time, so, I'm sure you're right.

Doc, Casboult, Cunningham & Pittonet were good, whilst a number had good moments.
Unfortunately Philp was overawed
Plowman & Newnes average at best
..........................
Fair summary IMO.

Well you'll take the win every day of the week.
BUT.
0.5 in the 3rd quarter! Ouch.
Great to win without significant contribution from guns like Martin and Cripps.
Reckon we'll be 'on' next week and beat the saints comfortably.
