I think that must win the prize for the all time most ignorant post game comment.
The love for Gibbs in the social club was amazing. Apart from the odd ignoramous, Carlton folk realise how important Gibbs is to the side. I believe he was chucking up his guts after the game. I suspect those who bag him have only ever chucked after a skinful.
Gibbs today was everything we ever hoped he would be. Huge effort and all class.
Reality always wins in the end.

Didn't think we could top the Port win, but there ya go!!!
It was the Port win all over again x 2.
How were the games from the unsung players who can be regular whipping boys: players such as Armfield, White, Rowe, Everitt.....colossal games from each & every one of them. Simon White's 2nd half, particularly that last quarter, was as good a quarter as I've seen from any Carlton defender for a very, very long time.
The tackles, the smothers, the chasing, the pressure......unbelievably relentless. How was Kreuzer's 50m chase in the 2nd quarter.....I almost reckon that was the turning point.
Casboult's mere presence had the Cats tall defenders literally krapping themselves......concerned that they could possibly die at any given moment, Levi was crashing packs that hard.
Curnow's job on Selwood......attacking tagging at it's best right there. Bryce Gibbs......wow.
Absolutely bursting with pride right now......upset of the season so far they're calling it.....and I can comfortably live with that.
Football is life, there is nothing else....

fkrs have no sense of humor. If you read my previous comment, you'd be better for it

It was interesting listening to Johnny Barker and some of the players after the game. Some of the key comments were; effort, structures, clarity, haven't exceeded expectations, team.
Ed Curnow is mates with Hendo and he said that the blokes playing forward got in to him. Ed didn't have much to say other than "we didn't miss him!"
The other strong message was about repairing the disconnect between club and supporters that had happened over the last 3 years. It was good to see the Pres and CEO mingling with supporters.

Excellent post Brettie.
Agreed.

E. Curnow is quickly becoming our most underrated player, he's done numbers on some of the comps best midfielders, and does it regularly now.
White, a rock under pressure, calm considered ball use, no mindless bombing the ball or panicked disposal.
Lots to love today, too many to mention, CarlTon has it's "T" back, Team!
PS: How ungracious is Scott, not about Carlton or Collingwood, all about them! Team defeat them 16-8 and the best he can say is "Those clubs were struggling to score" in previous weeks.

Another weekend where I cannot see or hear anything of the match and ............. we win !!
Obviously I am going to have to keep up this tradition even if it kills me.
What the hell is in the water down there at Princes Park ?? Players are recovering from serious injury in a quarter of the time expected and non-performers are now performing.
I've said it once but I'll say it again ............ "just imagine what this Bolton chap is going to do when he gets a playing list of serious depth & talent" ??
If he can get his team to knock over a potential flag contender after only 10-games, then we could be looking at one of the biggest dynasties ever seen in this competition.
