And the winner was_______
I'm at the game. I'll express my frustrations later.

[capcom]

We should win.  I believe we will.   

Now who said that yesterday?  Oh yeah ... me.  Pardon the bragging.

Winning half season for Teague  6-4.

Good win given the injuries.

[Barbs]

Good win.
We like to charge late from behind though don’t we? Just once I’d like to see us start strong, stay well ahead and then finish even stronger.
Shame Sydney won last night, we could have moved up the ladder.

Winning half season for Teague  6-4.

Good win given the injuries.

Yes I agree and the fact that St Kilda are a better side than what the ladder shows. Was very nervous about this game. Huge relief but I tore my hair out the entire game. So close.

Excellent win considering our outs. The boys kept at professionally to grind it out. Fabulous post match scenes. Good to see Daisy have a good game especially.

What a magnificent coaching effort, today and the last 10 weeks.

He's done it today without one of our key forwards and a key defender who was a late withdrawal, and a group of some fringe players who would struggle to get a game in any of the top four teams.

Yes, the players that took to the field had to deliver and despite a million mistakes, many of them did, but you still have to have the brains and coaching ability to get the win.


The last 10 weeks, were no different than the first 11, from the playing point of view. They still make mistakes, they miss their targets, they miss goals, and they miss tackles.
So essentially, it's the same mob we have had all year.

However, we are later in the season, the knocks and bumps and sore shoulders and groins and other niggles are more pronounced,and we have players who would walk into our best 11 out injured.

Yet, with all that against him, D.T has got them playing way above the level that they were for the first half of the year, and his coaching, and tactical moves have added a dimension to our team that we haven't had in years.

In 65 years of supporting this football club, I have seen the lot. The high's the lows, the in betweens.

I haven't been as excited for our club about the next two years, as I have been since the golden era, 79, 81 and 82. And I was also at the MCG in 68 and 70.

So let's all enjoy the ride together.

We are in the best of hands in David Teague, and I believe that at 38, he has the capacity in time to be recognised as one of,  not only the greatest coach the Carlton Football Club has ever had, but one of the greatest coaches in VFL/AFL history.

I hope time proves me to be correct.

Ok. I didn't expect us to win under such injury duress.
I'm proudly going to eat my words ????????
Nerve wracking but the best type of wins.
Hope our prospective recruits were watching.
The sleeping giant is awakening.

That was a stellar performance.
Effort and belief didn't falter. Some areas were limited but we kept the pressure on.

Love that we won the tackles and CP despite being beaten to at the contest. These are the wins that build belief and contribute to a winning culture.

Congratulations to the boys and coaches.
Thanks to all the Bluebaggers who helped our boys today ????
Shout out to capcom for the spot on prediction.

PS. Daisy to be Rookied. Played such an important role in a backline bereft of key defenders.

Great win, shut up all my Stkilda supporting inlaws who send me texts everytime they beat us....they all have a copy of our theme song on their phones now.
Well done to DT, Daisy who held it together down back and I thought my whipping boy LOB played the best game I have seen him play and I might even give him a vote.
The Krooze train ran parallel with the Teague train and he played a fine last quarter.....

[IvanAwfulbigone]

That'll do, Teague. That'll do.
