Post Game-Carlton v Collingwood

[DJC]

DJC. Was that out near the boundary?
I recall a scuffle (? PS last year) where all the baby blues lined up to back each other. That was very reassuring. They hadn't been with us long as I recall. Perhaps a sign of the successful PS camp.

Maybe we can earn a few quid taking teams on PS camps in Tassie ;D ;D ;D the camaraderie, bonding, and trust building minus the head games.....

Yes, on the boundary near the 50 metre line.

I got to chat with Ed Curnow after that game and he was just a little concerned that Charlie was likely to lose his focus and get sucked into the rough stuff.  It seems to me that Charlie has got the balance right 

I reckon Bolts' Tassie camps are a brilliant innovation for facilitating the transition to AFL and building relationships with the new blokes.  Our pre-season camps seem well-structured too, and are not part of what I believe is an excellent leadership development program.

Cripps came at Adams after he sniped a couple of our blokes from behind (which he has a history of doing outside nightclubs, and probably should be in jail right now). Grabbed Adams by the jumper and I've never seen a player back peddle so quickly to try to get away. Was hilarious. Exposed Adams for the coward that he is

This is why Cripps has to be captain, you want to play with a bloke who can look after you and who gets the opposition worried....someone needed to bop Maynard...he threw Charlie down like he was a feather..wouldnt mind Maynard in a Carlton jumper though as he is a strong unit.... Adams needed some chin music, snipes most games and gets away with it...

One thing about young Jack Silvagni is he's often the first one into these "conflicts"....and there he is again right in the middle of this one ;D

And Mat Kennedy helping out his partner in crime  They showed real spirit. It was a credit to all concerned.

[Baggers]

Kennedy's game gave us hope. Now to build on that.

I actually like our game plan and believe when we have more talent on the paddock who can actually execute it with greater precision, we will naturally score more and obviously win more games. If, for example, you just replace O'Shea with Doc, and Mullet with Murphy... well... in the words of that great prophet from Mordialloc, 'Yibbida, yibbida...'

According to AFL Media's Riley Beveridge:
I’d have Pendlebury in Collingwood’s best, behind Sidebottom, Grundy, Phillips and probably Howe.  His performance was certainly nowhere near that of Cripps or Charlie Curnow and it’s arguable that Simpson’s performance was superior.

Beveridge’s over the top praise of Pendlebury is one of his 5 talking points.  Two others are equally poor; the one about us looking at potential first picks in the draft and the drivel about the “jumper clash”.  Clearly, AFL Media doesn’t employ an editor or anyone responsible for content  >

Most encouraging performance I've seen so far from Kennedy. Really seemed fired up for the occasion, just needs a bit more match fitness imo.

Yes nice to see Kennedy get a few touches, although I'd be much happier if it wasn't in the shadows of Cripps the Godzilla.

When I see some of the young guys in the midfield getting clean footy outright on their own in perhaps a game where Cripps is rested I'll be overjoyed. Playing mid next to Cripps must be like being a KPF next to Franklin, I mean they aren't even going to bother standing you most of the time! The opposition must go out there thinking Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps, Cripps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If Cripps starts kicking goals, the interesting thing for Carlton now is the bloke the opposition probably want to stand Cripps is also the bloke they probably want to stand Charlie! Noice problem to have!

It was great to see what this guy can bring to our side, looking forward to more encouraging performances for the rest of the year.

One coach must be a good judge ... but which one? 

There’s no doubt that Pendlebury played well but I just thought that he was far from Collingwood’s best or most influential player and was markedly inferior to Cripps.
