2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[LP]

IMHO where there is smoke there is fire.  Polson got a game I reckon based on dedication and commitment.

We have not been about standards much at Carlton over the last 20 odd years, but this is something that has been prioritised under Bolton.

It could be a 1% thing, and other non-negotiable acts that got Poulson a game.

Ed, Poulson, Cripps and Fisher were top of the tackle counts, each with at least twice as much as the other nearest team-mates.

Cripps is explainable given he's a slow inside mid, he gets to the ball 2nd quite a lot.

Ed obviously a tagger needs no explanation.

But to have the skinnies in Fisher and Poulson well ahead of the rest is great for them, but damning for the rest of the team, at least in my opinion!
