Rd 16: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Melbourne

[thrunthrublu]

If we were cleaner in F50 the last 15 minutes, we would have rightfully won.
We LOST that game. Demons DIDN'T win

2 rotations down... the guys were dead on their feet.

5th time we've led in the last qtr this year and lost. Win them all, which you won't do admittedly, and we're top 4 hence an actually flag shot. Still, with a young side that's rebuilding it's a great sign for next year. Takes only a very little step from here to be a final side. Anyway, with 2 men down against a top 8 side that's an excellent effort.

That one is tough to swallow, not sure how many goals from frees they got but clearly those decisions had a massive impact on the game. As always we get our frees in defence and midfield whilst coughing them up in front of goal 30 out.

- Sheehan on today's performance has a limited future, got sucked in to high tackles against my mate jeffy

- plowman was great, and Simmo was awesome. Doc less so but was moved into the middle after Cripps went off

- weitering was ok, got lost in a few contests but was better with ball in hand

- loved sps goal and fishers pressure, jack could have had four of umpires were consistent



But for the bounce of the ball in the last few mins in our goal square we would have won.

Was our best by a mile and you pot him for few clangers (which I can't remember) :

Kerridge was comfortably better than Simmo today, but whATEVER, another close 'honourable' loss.

Brave effort after losing Cripps and White.

One of the better overall performances I have seen us play in actual fact.

Was always going to be a challenge with 2down for more than a half of footy.
We had 13 less rotations, so the 20 were running on empty.

Lots of very good signs I thought. L
R2 went down by 20ish. This time by 8. Not bad with 20 on the park.

The beauty of football is we all look at things differently, I think Simmo was a mile better than Kerridge

[Baggers]

Another 'honourable loss!' : Full of character considering the loss of Cripps and White. Apparently Cripps copped the kick to the top of the calf but there is no apparent knee damage.

Despite a few costly errors and an attack of the fumbles, Kerridge doesn't deserve excessive derision. He took some strong timely marks and his disposal by foot has improved greatly. One of our best.

Loved the efforts Doc, Simmo, Charlie (gotta get the Rising Star this week), Plowman, SOJ, Kreuz, Murph and Gibbs.

Samo started slowly but improved as the game wore on.

Casboult worked his @rse off and can hold his head high.

Macreadie will be better for the run.

Cuningham did his invisible man stuff when we desperately needed him to step up once Cripps was gone.

[LoveNavy]

If Charlie doesnt get Rising Star this week then the whole award is rigged.

X 100.

Kerridge was good today just made a couple of howlers.

No where near as bad as everyone has made him out to be.

The two injuries did more to decide the match than anything else.

That and some generous umpiring in front of Melbourne's goal

Too bad they didn't pay jack's mark.

One of the Maggots did :o
