Round 10: Carlton vs Adelaide After Game Thread

A poor call? The scoring shots are fact not opinion.

Were you at the game? If you think the score line flattered us you didn't watch the game there was absolutely no time in the game where they played terribly and we were ok it was an even match throughout

[Lods]

Best team lost.

I know it's a bit of a contradiction and something that some people find unacceptable but that's how I feel.

You're saying the result flattered us because of that......I & most others who watched the game are saying that it was our lack of skill throughout the course of the game that prevented us from having more scoring opportunities. That also is fact. Your fact is the most simplistic of all & means nothing for those us who were at/watched the game on TV. Yep, you bet it's a poor call.

As I said in the in game thread, very sad for Judd that he's out of the game in that fashion.

Hopefully, the club will find a suitable way to honour him.

However, we all knew that this was his last season, and we have a ready replacement in Pat Cripps.

So it's goodbye to a legend, and a huge welcome to a player in Cripps, who if the Club look after him and he gets all the support he needs, and continues to mature and get better, will become the next great Carlton Champion.

As the confidence builds the turnovers will decrease.

They are learning to play footy again. Good time for the bye.

I hope your right.

If they can maintain that level of intensity and decrease the turnovers, the season won't have been a complete right off. It will also expose the serial offenders and make SOS's job easier.

I agree. Confidence and self belief can help keeps the skill level higher. It is a good time for the bye. Time to rest up and reflect on what needs to happen next. Tweak a few things here and there. Get some players back.

Looking at the possible ins with Gibbs, Jamo and Yarran who goes out for Yarran and Jamo with Gibbs replacing Juddy?

Maybe Menzel? Tutt? Army? The latter 2 showed a lot of effort today however..

So upbeat tonight after what I witnessed today. Yeah we lost but fork me I have not been that entertained by us for a long long time. Definitely should have won, two crucial non frees to them for goals in the last term. We butchered many balls inside 50m. Players looked like they had been granted their freedom and they relished the opportunity.

Thought Tutt try as he might is just not up to it. Army also showed why he wont be here next year.

Murphy, tough courageous, never willing to take a backward step. Never seen this bloke before, even when he won the Coach's Award he didn't do stuff he did today. A real captain's game, if he plays like that on a consistent basis from now on we will win games.

Cripps. What more can you say. This kid makes some amazingly inspirational plays. Will be something special.

Bucks. Exciting, untapped potential. Needs to be given the license to run.

Finally my man Nicky Graham, didn't do too much in the first half but I thought he laid some ripping tackles in the second half, won some hotly contested ball in the forward half and kicked a ripper goal. This was a pretty fierce contest and he showed he is right up to it.

Tutt and Army must make way.

[Mantis]

I cannot say I agree with you about Armfield. He pops up and does some very good things and generally is trying for most of his games. Gets score on the board or at least assists to us getting a score. Sure his kicks are sometimes way off, but we have others that are bigger butchers of the ball.
