Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs. Essendon

[flyboy77]

Aside from what happened in the forward 50, we controlled the game pretty well. Poor kicking in the 2nd qtr meant a 2 goal lead instead of a 5-6 goal lead.

Defensively we seem to set up well, just miles ahead of some of the rubbish we dished up last year. Plowman looks very solid and composed, Byrne backed up last week and looks the goods.

We might have found a decent ruckman in Phillips... has plenty to go, but he took some ripping marks today and slotted one from 50.  The GWS connection had a good day today.

Haven't seen the game yet but listened to a lot of it.....reckon if we'd taken the chances in Q2, EFC would have dropped the bundle and we would have won by 50 odd.

We'll learn from it.

Sounds like Gibbs, Thomas, Murph, Phillips were stand outs?

Any updates on young Weitering?

Cripps in next week or not?
