Rd 11: Post Game Excitement: Carlton vs Brisbane

[IvanAwfulbigone]

I think there's something of a 'short memory syndrome' about the place. I said in the pre-game thread Saturday's was a game the OLD Carlton was a monty to lose.

Between 2009-2014 we would win a couple, face up against a team going nowhere (usually an interstate club) only for our players to spend the game wondering if they've left the oven on at home.

Just goes to show how much of this game is between the ears. Guess it also shows what can happen when the captain of the ship manages to steer it in the right direction.

Agree that we still made mistakes yesterday, but we're not going in to our shell anymore. We were more scared of ourselves than we were of the opposition in years gone by.

I'm loving watching us play compared with the last few years - how could you not be?

Couple of things I'd prefer NOT to see:
- Cripps grabbing the ball out of the ruck. If he grabs the ball from the bounce/throw in, to whom should he dish it off?  Cripps? He gets caught a lot doing this.
- Walker needs to realise he's taken his one MoTY. Stay down son and gather the tasty morsels tossed your way by Ogre Caz.
