Rd 10: Post Game Paradise!: Carlton vs Geelong

[crashlander]

@Crash...
Murphy did his ankle after just 9 minutes.
Sumner made it to 20mins before suffering a similar fate.

2 on the bench all game.

Army injured late and a couple others required treatment.

One word - GUTSY.

With 2 on the bench for most of the game, and 2 very suspect big men, that says something about the SPIRIT in this group!

Just looking at the stats: the 1st chance I've had:

Kreuzer: 14 possessions, 18 taps and 11 tackles! (only 1 mark )

What a spud, bring back Warnock!

Goes to show just how horrific the decision to let Mick Malthouse get his hands on this club was imo.

Players like Gibbs are reinvigorated and playing like they are in the top few mids in the competition, yet everyone wanted them gone. Kreuzer breaks the record for tackles by any Carlton player in a game vs Geelong.. KREUZER!!!

In the last quarter it still would not have bothered me if Cats had overrun us (well it would have, but I still would have been stoked with the effort by this group to that stage), but instead we were still the better team in the last as well.

Bolton is already shoe-in for Coach of the Year imo, with no disrespect to Roos, Scott, Scott or anyone else.
He turned one of the least competitive units in the competition into a real football team again, 2 years earlier than ANYONE could have imagined.

Great post MIO - nice to have you back around.

Crazy ass win. One of the best I can remember.

[Robblues]

One of the best 4 qtr consistent efforts I have seen for a while, no real lapses in concentration , team game , team win

Crazy ass win. One of the best I can remember.

That just about sums it up. Great fucking win Carlton ,

There's an old footy saying that goes ..."A champion team will always beat a team of champions"

That was a champion team effort.

Good to see the naysayers in the in game thread eating their words!

Go Blues, club spirit has returned!

Sam Rowe, best bugger all possession game of all time!

He and Gibbs basically turned it around after 1/4 time. I now finally understand how Robert Klomp won a tv in the 80's with the magnificent stats of 0 kicks, 0 marks, 0 handballs!

[thrunthrublu]

if this is the start of the journey, im getting a boner thinking about the middle of it!
Gibbs makes me angry and proud at the same time. Today shows what he is capable of. Tomorrow he needs to do it again, and again
Docherty - say no more - peter dean incarnate

Magnificent!  That's a big big win.
