AFL Rd 15 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Fremantle

[crashlander]

Great win. Agree with those who rate it out best for the season. A very even contribution from all. 
Played that hard at the footy contested game that will serve us well in finals but also slowed it down and chipped it around when we needed.
Also seem to finally have a hard edge about us now. Seeing skinny fisher show some attitude to Fyfe after he tackled him late in the game, Jack mouthing off at every opportunity, Newman tells his opponent every time he has a win on them - this sort of stuff is what the great hawthorn and Brisbane teams had spades of. Who’s our coach again.

How good is the development of Cottrell, Young, Lob and TDK. One positive of having so many injuries is these sorts of young blokes get continuity and Cottrell in particular looks to have taken his game to a new level. His disposal is now clean and he is a bloody hard two way running winger who can hit the scoreboard. Not an easy match up that bloke.

you've picked 4 blokes who have really stepped up this year. The way they have developed since last year is just one of the more notable things Voss can take some credit for. Young wasn't making an impression at the Dogs, Cottrell was patchy and his skills were an issue. Lochie O'Brien has probably saved his career and is doing a great job on a wing. As for Tom de Koning, he really showed something today. His huge leap and tap to Hewett, who kicked down Charlie's throat, was one of the best pieces of play you could ever see. (Pity Charlie stuffed up the kick!) The way he nullified one of the competition's best ruckmen was lovely to see.
Mind you, I Think playing at Marvel helps TDK: he likes the fast, hard conditions. His efforts were great.
Jack Silvagni may have had only a could of taps, but his swarming on the ball after the tap was lovely. He managed 10 or 11 marks and really provided a target around the ground.
