Apart from being an athlete he has great hands, give a nice little handball to advantage and set up 3-4 running plays by doing so. He's no star in the ruck, but he seems to have strength in his wrist (keep it clean) and is able to tap to all areas of the clock, just a few kilos light. Kicks well, snap around the corner aside and his mark over the top of Casboult looked fantastic. He's is only 23/24 from memory so he's got a big upside. While I don't expect him to be a starting ruck, as a forward/ruck he could be just what we're looking for.Can Gorringe play the type of role Blicavs does at Geelong?

The lions outscored us in the second half. When our percentage is as low as it is, we need to put these terrible sides away. We had the final margin on them in the 1st quarter and couldn't go on with in.
We were sloppy.
Had we played like that last week, we would've lost.
Happy to get the win, but hardly a win to b ecstatic about.

We were a bit sloppy at times I agree, and I hate to say it but one of the offenders here was one of last week's heroes in Sammy Docherty, among a number of others, who made plenty of mistakes from what I saw. But I will cut some slack since the Lions were always under control and last week's efforts were mighty and obviously took a fair bit out of us. The test will be to see if we can bounce back next week and give the Saints a seeing-to.

Yes, given where we started from in the pre season, given all the changes, predictions etc., any win is a good win. This particular win wasn't pretty, it wasn't convincing, but it was good.

Don't get me wrong GTC, I was VERY happy with the win!

What was wrong with Plowmans game?
He has not missed a beat since he came in the side, makes good decisions, plays above his size and another calm head back there.
Re: Rd 11: Post Game Excitement: Carlton vs Brisbane - BluePhantom - 06-04-2016
Was a good win, and since we were expected to win we usually fall over.
The back line looks great with Doullherty, Plowby (Southby) and Weiters plus the others looks soooo settled.
Love the way we transition the ball, run in waves AND spot up a leading forward instead of bombing it. A leading forward? who would've thought it would've worked?
On the Cas bump (and that is all it was) on Robbo (Robbo was Robbo-ed LOL) I think Bolton would've given Cas a big pat on the back.
The days of pushing around and cheap shotting a Carlton player are over. >

After last year, I get ecstatic about any win
Yes, we were outscored in the second half . . . by one point! And some very dubious umpiring decisions cost us goals and gifted goals to Brisbane.
I didn't see much of the Brisbane-Hawthorn game but they matched the Hawks for three quarters on the scoreboard. We blew them away in the first quarter. Did Brisbane play that inexplicable "retain possession at all costs" game against Hawthorn?
I thought we were sloppy in the first quarter (how many times did we have kicks smothered?) but improved as the game went on.
Robbo did well as a tagger and can add Gibbs' scalp to that of Mitchell's from last week. It was interesting that Bolton had Gibbs in defence for a while, presumably to get Robbo out of the game.
We missed a few shots, a couple of players were down, Kreuzer's second half absence hurt, but the positives far outweighed the negatives.
Re: Rd 11: Post Game Excitement: Carlton vs Brisbane - Jean-Claude - 06-05-2016
Another pleasing win despite not being as sharp but that will happen. Have to remember that the Lions only really constructed a couple of their goals and the rest were hacks off the ground and 50 metre penalties.
As long as we are showing signs every week I am happy. Some of the end to end stuff we engineered was great, Gorringe taking some grabs and doing some nice things. Kerridge stepping up when needed etc.
