Post Game Postulations: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Baggers]

We have a lot of upside and finally and I will say it again finally the kids are starting to be able to influence games and we no longer need to rely on the usual blokes to play blinders.

Walsh, setterfield, Gibbons, Williamson, Cunningham, Harry (I’m sure I’ve missed some) all have a lot of improvement in them and are not in their prime.

I’m a lot more optimistic about the next few years then I anticipated. A still have midfield and small forward holes but fill them and we have a list that will compete at the pointy end for many years.

I’m disappointed with not getting the 4 points but not disappointed with what I witnessed today.

We are no longer the whipping boys we are at least competitive every week and when we all click the kids and our older blokes I reckon we will be a big worry to any team that faces us.

Good read. Not sure I agree with Cuningham in that group, though. But the others are definitely showing strong growth/improvement. Cuningham has all the talent in the world but his focus/concentration goes awol too often.
