Round 10: Carlton vs Adelaide After Game Thread

[Juddkreuzer]

Tutt and Army must make way.

Tutt yes despite a much better effort from him, but I think Army has his nose slightly ahead of Menzel ATM. Statistically they are close (although Army tackles more) but Army's weapon is his pace and he's used it well this year.

Armfield has no future
all run no skill
Menzel needs more of an engine and strength. ..

But we need to build for the future JK, and Menzel is a part of that, Army isn't. That's my take on it. Menz gives us that extra tough of class, he will get better with more gametime.

Poignant moment Juddy going off on the buggy, a measure of the respect of the man with Adelaide fans also giving him a standing ovation as he left the ground.

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.

Agree with all this, but your namesake has passed it.  Can't see him playing next year.

Thought he was really good today mate. Really good. You'd think this is his last year. Can't cover the ground like he used to and that was one of his strengths.

18 touches, 39 hitouts and a goal to Sam Jacobs today, and we wouldn't play him ahead of Warnock and Hampson.
We've made some almighty stuff ups on our way to the bottom.

Butchered the ball a few times and seems slow.  He wasn't awful, and like everyone else, put in an effort.  But I'd drop him before dropping a player like Graham.
