Post Game Celebration: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane

Interesting in game comments from Jonathan Brown. He reckons it took us 1 and a bit qtrs to sort out the correct pace to play at and hence gain the composure that is required. Initially he thought we were going at "a million miles an hour" and hence making far too many errors. Once we sorted that out our skill execution improved dramatically. Still plenty of work to do but a very heartening start.

Brown isn’t a silly man when it comes to football. He doesn’t hold back and sugar coat his views on what he can see. I also gives a basic breakdown on what is going on. Simplistic and a sense of reality. I am so happy we won. I think confidence is a great start. Let’s keep this football simple and play to our strengths. It may become a start to some better development the group can build on. Maybe over time players will want to join this playing group. As you said Cookie, plenty of work to do, but maybe there is truly something to work with here.

Fagan is completely full of s#it.... in the extreme.

Cripps had the hardest of hard tags for the whole match. Mostly by Berry but they mixed it up. Especially at centre bounces he was being tackled while the rucks were contesting the hitout. He was just determination personified and wouldn't let the tag stop him. 10 blokes tagging him at once wouldn't have stopped him today.

That was one of the best individual matches in the history of football.

here, here. They were hanging off him like maggots on rotten meat!

I thought it was a novel idea to play Ed Curnow in that role.
Playing him as a defensive mid, considering his body strength and fitness could be a good move from Teague.

SPS for mine, Zac didnt lay one tackle.

Fisher has been ordinary this year.

It seems every time he gets the pill he tries to do something 'clever' with it rather than just getting it moving asap....

[flyboy77]

Need to back it up against the Doggies otherwise it's just a change of coach honeymoon game.....

The board deserves NO credit for this victory or ANY beyond until they realise their utter failures and resign.

I think our mids are often looking to get the perfect disposal rather than simply handball to someone in a better position. We get caught too often looking for something that isn’t there rather than giving to the first option

Fish seems to constantly go for these rush little dribble kicks forward

Without Cripps we lose that game. When is the last time we had a player win a game off his own boot and drag us over the line? Probably Fev?
What an absolutely superstar he is, best player in the comp right now by a fair way.

Judd did a few of those across the journey.

Even so, without weitering we would have lost that game.  Very underappreciated he has been this season.
