Lots to like from this round.
Noticed Daisy's candy and running goal, and ASOS run down tackle ending in Weitering goal are in 10 best afl moments. Cool.
Green shoot for me:
Samo's hard tackle followed by his over the head handball to Levi.
= Vision and speedy decision making, strong core and arms, fast execution.
Levi has a quick snap on his left, no less, and splits the middle.
= quick reaction, confidence, goalkicking accuracy.
Bl**dy hell. It's been a while since we've been so spoilt for choice.
Go new Blues
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Don't normally post, however my green shoot that I would like to mention is Charlie C. He was on Reid in the second half and ran him around ragged and nullified his output as he was marking everything that came down his way in the first half. In a post match interview on an ABC Reid acknowledged Charlie's running capacity and found it hard to keep up. So if this was by design it was a good coaching move by Bolts and his staff. Just goes to show that even with his drink driving indiscretion before he was drafted we were not put off by it at all.

That ASOS tackle was awesome, really put the knife in when we scored the goal. ;D

Sammo it is then.
I'd like all Carlton fans to keep last weekends game in memory.
Sammo like any other 1st year player is going to get 2nd year blues, it may even come earlier because after last weekend he's now officially on the radar of our opponents. In the short term it will get tough for him, and you can expect him to be inconsistent. But stick by him, back in his little moments and we'll get to see them for a whole career!

I don't want to be pedantic but it's "Samo". In fact, I do want to be pedantic >

Still keeping my powder dry with CC, he hasn't set my world on fire just yet. I thought he was pretty quite in the first half on Sat, did much better in the second. Didnt lay tackle though, should have a chat to SPS about how its done.

Yep, well deserved. Has a good chance of taking out the award as he has both flash and grunt and was a top-10 draft pick.
