2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond

[PaulP]

Silvagni finds space and is a natural footballer. Who cares if he isn't fast or tall. Last night he took 5 marks inside 50. I don't know the last time that would have been achieved by one of our players, let alone team. If he continues to contribute he holds his spot, one of our more promising young players.

It's his second season, probably less than 20 games ffs and he has done one pre season.

Some people here would whinge if a dog crap in their lunch. Get a grip

I would certainly whinge if a dog crapped in my lunch.

Yeah ... I'm gonna be something of a wet blanket and say I don't share the fervour everyone else seems to have for SOSOS, or TWOTT as I call him (The Worst Of The Three). Hopefully he proves me wrong in the coming years but, what's he got that's special/different?  I mean, is he super fast? ...brilliant overhead? ... electrifying goal sneak a la EB? Granted, his mum's still hot but I'm really hoping he doesn't become yet another Coodabeen Carlton Champion.

Worst of the three in that family might not necessarily be indicative of anything given how brilliant the other two were. If he's even close he'll be a star.

IMO, I think he will turn out really good. He just looks a player.

Yep, a natural born footballer.
Ironically if he wasn't the son of a club legend we probably would have walked past him, too slow, not overly big, can't kick it out of sight, no obvious weapons.
We were virtually forced to draft him.

Impressed by the way jack tried to milk a 50 m penalty with one of his early marks - Richmond player bumped him and jack had the nouse to drop the ball - however no dice

Takes balls to shoot Bambi in front of the kids, I'll give you that much.

[Jack Burton]

Takes no balls at all to shoot a kid in his 9th game, I don't care what his surname is.
Doesn't impress me.

Are you kidding? I would LOVE a dog to crap in my lunch! It would inject some interest into my otherwise dreary life and momentarily take my mind off the fact that we haven't won a flag in 21 years after winning 8 in the previous 27.
