I thought he more than did his job... if you offered me 1 goal to Riewoldt pre-match I would have locked it in pretty quickly.

Rowe generally halves the contest... ok, maybe he over did the punching last night.

How many other players drafted within cooee of him are looking like a player? How many have even played.

He is younger than those same players too.

Jack is the biggest steal from that draft at the pick we got him.

What does he do that special/different?
He doesn't make stupid mistakes.

What does he do wrong??

Thought Rowe was okay too. Not sure why he always gets s#i# canned here?

If I am paying for a Rolex I dont want to be given a stick in the ground with a circle and told they both do the same job.......

that goal that caddy kicked should never have happened rowe had prime position and let him go past him a good defender does not let that happen watch the replay the hold did not hinder him at all he just panicked he is no good as I said I admire all he has done but he is not the answer in defence.play him forward where he has to mark the ball he is a good kick but he is not a defender

It should have been a free kick to Rowe holding the man.

Apologies if someone has already raised this subject but I don't have time to read all of the previous posts.  Can anyone tell me what the game plan was for at least trying to minimise Martin's impact - other than the comment on the banner.

He was on his own so often that it gave the impression we were hoping he would run out of puff from the amount of ground he covered when collecting and using so much uncontested ball.

At many stoppages play in the second half, our midfielders (Gibbs in particular) looked directly at Martin and then chose to man-up on another opponent whilst directing a younger teammate (e.g. Petrevski-Seton, Macreadie) towards Martin or just leaving him on his own.

BTW - Ed Curnow should be banned from ever passing the ball into the corridor by foot; his efforts to kicking short to a teammate have turnover written all over them. If he has to kick the ball, he should kick long and towards the boundary line.

I found it interesting today how full of praise 'non Carlton' workmates etc. were of our performance last night, especially our youngsters. Is it pity (no one has sympathy for Carlton!!) or is it genuine?  Maybe things look different through other eyes!!
