AFL Rd 8 2022 Post Game Celebrations Carlton vs Adelaide

[capcom]

.. and one other comment ... percentage is harder to improve the further the season goes on.

We just have to keep winning.

I think that's our best effort this season by some margin.

I think it's bizarre that SoJ probably played one of his best games, yet might not even feature in the votes. Early Durdin was also at his best, but probably won't get a vote either.

I'm sure most who were yet to be convinced are now coming around to Voss as coach, I think the balance he has found between run versus size is about right at the moment.

Adelaide are garbage and sure its a good win but you would be tempered into forming any real judgements good or bad on players or coaches based on that game. If Ben Keays is their fill in captain and their best senior mid apart from the injured and ageing Sloane then they have real problems. Butts and Frampton are about the worst KP defensive backs in the comp and Scott Burns hasnt ever got a senior job for a reason..
We should have won by 100 points with one leg in the air......

Agree with EB1.  it was 5 goals lower margin than it could and arguably should have been, and quite a few whipping boys had a decent game but the opposition weren't much to write home about.

Geez, if we won by 95 some wouldn’t be happy unless we won by 96…

Regulation win over a crap side.

Next week is a bigger test, haven't won interstate yet.

[northernblue]

You must be a treat at parties man…

[Lods]

It was a comfortable win.
I guess the disappointment mainly stems from the fact that our percentage is the lowest of any side inside the eight.

There was a real opportunity there to add a few points to that.

While it may not be a huge issue now, it could be at the end of the year.
It may determine if we make finals.
It may also determine our position inside the eight and double chances and home finals etc.

So when that opportunity presents itself and we don't take advantage of it, even if we do have a good win, there will be some level of disappointment.

Obligatory calf injury to Martin again

[northernblue]

Absolutely Lods, but it’s still better than a 20 pt win.
Maybe people want to hark back to our glory days under Mick, Brendon and David…? ??‍♂️

[ElwoodBlues1]

Geez, if we won by 95 some wouldn’t be happy unless we won by 96…

NB...Its a good win for sure but I wouldnt as I said I wouldnt be judging players on good or bad games today given the quality of the opposition. Some were suggesting I think in the ingame thread that Boyd had now surpassed Stocker as a small defender based on this game, thats the type of thinking we dont want to get sucked into.
Works both ways,I  didnt think Zac Williams had a great game but I wouldnt be rushing to replace him next week vs his old team either as the ball didnt travel down back too much after half time and he copped a kick on his achillies.
TDK had the half the tapouts that Riley Obrien did but I thought our man was the more effective player.
Nic Newman had 9 marks and a lot of footy but I wouldnt be sucked into sticking him on Toby Greene next game either...
