2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast

[Lods]

Great to see the improvement and some fight in the players this week. I'd suggest that if we'd brought that readiness and intensity to the last three games against GC, Pies and North we might have won one or two games by now.

Do we have a shot against the Dogs next week?

Depends which Carlton turns up.
Look, it's difficult for young blokes to maintain a consistency of effort but some of the poor efforts of previous weeks were put into perspective by yesterday's performance.
That's the minimum standard.
One of the things that help maintain that effort is the support around you and working for each other.
The addition of some more mature bodies like Rowe, Kerridge and Phillips no doubt helped draw the attention away from others.
These guys aren't superstars but they give an honest effort.
In fact, in some respects Phillips' first contest set the standard.
