Of course you don't hang your hat on SC scores - but Liam Jones scored 102 points, didn't have a massive disposal count, but that score shows all the small things he did......he was enormous today. Well done & should've been running around at senior level a lot sooner than this.
All the usual suspects played out of their skins today (i.e. Simmo, Doc, Gibbs, Cripps), but this time they dragged a few along with them......Plowman (who had been poor for a few weeks), Buckley, Armfield, Sumner, Kreuzer, White, Graham (to name a few). Everyone to a man cracked-in from the get-go against team who get ahead of themselves moreso than other team in the AFL. Can't remember seeing Carlton supporters so outnumbered by Melbourne supporters (the MCC was extremely busy).....all of them expecting this to be the beginning of their charge into the finals.....this is reality check # 3 or 4 for them this year, will they ever learn!?
Jesse Hogan should do the honourable thing and give his Rising Star award to the much more deserved Patrick Cripps......when you look at what each of them have them have done this year, Cripps is on a different planet to Hogan - who is a lazy footballer, who's only interested when the ball is coming at him lace-out.
Loved how Gawn kicked the first goal of the last & they were all "Come on!!!" (apparently 2 hands in the back is okay), then within 5 mins his direct opponent took a ripping grab & sealed the win......nicely done Andrew Phillips.
A nice win Blues.....one I certainly didn't see coming.
