The Moth will get his 15 minutes of fame, courtesy of a nice mark and set shot, and yet again we get the miracle victory in the dying moments, but the real take away for me was the genuine physicality on display. I can't remember the last time I saw a Carlton team play such a physical brand.

Playing blokes like Casboult, SPS in their proper roles helps.

The first quarter and a half was absolutely unequivocally unacceptable.
The upside? We are getting it into our F50 more than the opposition which means, fix that and that’s another step up. And we can do that but we need smart ball movers going into F50. Yes SPS stuffed that kick in but our forwards just do not battle hard enough in the F50. For such a huge man, Casboult would have to be the easiest person to push out of the way I’ve seen. They also don’t play for each other in the F50, lots of flying for it rather than creating something for one of them.
Thought we missed Gibbo last night, Fish was fantastic and happy Owies got a go but Gibbo is now seasoned Around the packs and would’ve impacted more.
MCG can leave now As far as I’m concerned. Constantly Looking at the umpire for a free rather than working hard to get it himself. Lazy.

Does anyone think, with the shortened quarters, it may be harder to work yourself into the quarter if you’re struggling?

Even so. He's a good player when in form. I haven't given up on him yet.
Sad but true... can't keep playing blokes in bad form regardless of who they are. Even when Crippa was struggling he was still doing his job for the side. Brackets is just wasting space and keeping out someone who deserves a chance.

We also need at least any 2 of these....
1. Pies to lose both (GC and Port)
2. Dogs to lose one (Freo and Haw)
3. Gws to lose one game (Mel+Stk)*
4. Dees to lose one game (GWS+Ess)*
...and no big blowout wins for dogs or gws as their % will be about the same as ours.
* Note, GWS and Dees play eachother. Whoever wins that, needs to lose the last week. Whoever loses that can win the following week.
Love your optimism, but you know you're r00ted when you begin to say, "If they... then those... and we... followed by... and that happens twice... then we'll..." I reckon we'll finish 10th, which is a strong step in the right direction. These blokes know they're a flea's franger from playing finals, and doing well in finals. Just a coupla quality ins, on-field and in the assistant coaching ranks, and look out, the swagger might be back.
