R: ..............................
Int: Wilson Ballard J. Gleeson Perry Armitage Strachan Bolger J. Roberts Walton Cattapan Aurrichio McCabe* Haynes

Out of the 14 named Carlton players, only 7 have played and they include only 1 senior player. The entire on ball division have not played. It is no wonder we are being flogged.

[crashlander]

All over. The last quarter was by far our best.

Northern Blues 11.9.75,  vs. Box Hill Hawks 26.9.165
We kicked 5 goals to 3 in the last quarter and had a number of shots that failed to score. A superior effort in the circumstances.

GOALS: Walton 4, Smith 3, Cattapan 2, Bolger, Armitage.
DISPOSALS: Walsh 27, Strachan 24, Fields 23, Yarran 23, Cattapan 21

An improvement by Yarran, but is it enough? Walsh continues to show that he has a real future.

[madbluboy]

Maybe we could trade Yarran for Sicily.

[RiverRat]

I'm not even sure he is playing.

I would say that Watson is being held over in case someone doesn't come up tomorrow.

Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow.

[RiverRat]

Maybe we could trade Yarran for Sicily.

The island? I doubt he has that much trade value.

[Lods]

Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow. Hope everyone comes up tomorrow.

I hope they don't
We're "list managing"
Hope Watson plays and kicks a bag

[MilkIt]

Smith 3 goals? Didn't play back pocket? How was his overall performance?

Giles took a nice grab in the Devos. Named in the best too.

Smith couldn't have got that much of the ball, certainly less than 20 possessions, but he had a very good last quarter. Walsh didn't appear to get a lot of kudos for his 27 possessions, nor did Yarran get any for his 23.
Considering what we had out there, we did very well in the last quarter.

[crashlander]

7 possessions to Jones and 10 to Viojo Rainbow. Good effort by Aurrichio. Zac Ballard was named as the NB's best, but he hardly touched the ball. Negative job?
They had the top 7 rated players while we had the bottom 7 rated players.
