Rd 16: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LoveNavy]

Kruez was sensational again against one of the best - only down a handful of hit outs. Efficiency lower, but that could relate to Crippa going off. Just loving his game this year, so consistent and skilled. Showing why he was a No. 1. pick.

Our leaders were solid. Murphy, Gibbs, Simmo, Docherty all put in.
Casboult deserves to take a bow. Certainly played a hard running, sticky hands, 4q game ;D

Naturally some of the youngsters were patchy, but blind Freddy can see their growth. SOJ was great, playing with some real attitude. Samo, yes patchy, but how super was his goal. When he develops that consistency he'll cause plenty of headaches. Thought McCreadie improved as time went on.
Charlie - absolute stunner. RS nod or RS is RS

The middle tier held their own. Kerridge. A couple of blues aside, has shown real improvement for mine. Seems to be able to find space more often. Lamb, Daisy both earned their spot. Plowman seems to developing as the season progresses, and Jones showed he belongs.

In the end both sides didn't have top 22 on the park. Our good passages were very good and we stayed in it despite being 2 down. Our seasoned players persevered and our babies shown glimpses of great footy. Save a few errors we'd have had this. If fully manned, we'd definitely have had the prize. Not to be today but showed how much we've progressed. Good effort new Blues.

I hope Crippa and White pull up OK.
