Their field kicking was as good as I've seen from anyone this season but we didn't apply much pressure so it was a bit of a training run.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

From what I witnessed today we must be so far off the pace it will take us 10 drafts to catch up and Cripps will be well-retired or in a bl00dy wheelchair! We were literally reduced to witches hats by the end. A few drinks for me tonight methinks! >
Reality always wins in the end.

Agree on Whitfield, Kelly was the standout today for mine, it was a pleasure to watch, his running power and disposal was head and shoulders above everyone on the ground. BB said in his presser (respectfully to other top teams) their midfield running power is the best he has seen all season. And they didnt have Shiel out there who is another running machine.

We need the PP, but we need a hell of a lot more than just that

As doom and gloom as it all is - Harry McKay looks the real deal. Polson was awesome in those few flashes and Dow is going to be a serious player.
Polson looks like he should clearly be still playing VFL as he's not ready but those bits of class and courage running back with the flight show you there is potential there.
Harry - sensational. He is going to monster some opposition over the next 10 years. Could he end up being better than Charlie? That thought hadn't even occurred to me until today but that was a massive step forward today under severe duress.
Dow stepping around, in and out of trouble. He doesn't have the extreme sideways immediate burst speed of Judd but he's got some similar traits.
There's something to go with the truckload of negatives from today.
Having said that I will storm Carlton HQ if we don't ask for a PP.

GWS play with precision player placement and disposal. Richmond move the ball forward at all costs and place immense pressure.
