I'm with [member=906]Lods[/member] on this game.
I think sometimes fan judgement of good or bad is a bit coloured by scoring and this season some of the scoring has been berserk.
Despite the kicking errors I thought as a contest today's game was probably the most physical we've seen all season and a great style of game to watch. Tackling rewarded, contest after contest perhaps some of it due to poor disposal, but perhaps the brutality of the contest contributes some of the poor disposal.
Some will say that can't work against good sides, but attack good sides like that and you'll drag down their skills as well.
I'd say that is the fiercest I've seen a Carlton side tackle since Ratten was coach, to the despair of some even sMurph stuck some heavy tackles.
If things are too silky, too smooth, we probably say it's bruise free!
