2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn
Fans tend to look in one direction, coaches will be watching Mitchell's opponent as well. It's probably what stops Mitchell being dominant, if he could put the breaks on an opponent as well he'd be better than most.

Not saying that he wasn't BoG this week, but he's had a lot of big stat games this season and surprisingly few AFLCA votes. If Cripps collected stats like that he'd be 30 pts clear in the AFLCA voting!

He will be very important in the breakout year of 2020!

Amen!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Agree on Kennedy, thought he looked very good yesterday.  Sure there's improvement to be made, but he got in there and got the ball - a bit fumbly with it but that confidence will come.

Howe got 2 weeks for hitting Cripps and has been referred straight to the Tribunal for the trip on Fisher. Latter is "no early plea, severe impact".

So Howe either took out or reduced the effectiveness of 2 of our 3 best players. Who's their coach again?

This is where Carlton needs to get old fashioned.  Don't say anything (or much). Don't bleat. Just wait ...

But we won't. We're such good AFL citizens. He'll have a "breakout" game for them against us next season.  :Smile

I hope there is a little karma with this one. bad enough that Clarkson is a thug, a liar and a hypocrite, but to have this!!??  I really hope that this guy ends up getting what he deserves.

And people went off over Lamb.  Lamb was/is a pest, he doesn't maim players.

Good to see the MRO acting appropriately for a change!

So much for David king saying Howe didn’t mean to him cripps in the face and trying to fob it off - really want someone to hold him accountable when he commentates our next game. D*ck.

Most of the ex-player commentators are as weak as p1ss when it comes reportable incidents and some of the "professional" commentators aren't much better.

Eddie remarked that Casboult contributed to his high contact (by trying to pick the footy up).  The vision clearly shows Henderson looking at Casboult and lining him up.  Henderson is lucky to get away with a fine and Casboult is lucky to escape a very serious injury.
