Not a post match thread
Just pick one aspect, one piece of play, one player each week.
For me this week it's Lachie Plowman.
Maybe not the greatest ever Carlton debut but he played a bit on the dangerous Stringer and featured in the Carlton bests.
Great debut in the Navy Blue :D
For me it's Charlie Curnow's 60m bullet pass inside 50m that resulted in a goal. Kid is so exciting.
For me it was the C.Curnow mark against two opponents, strong hands for a 3 gamer. I think it might of lead to the pass
Our favourite things each week will be the same Weitering and C.Curnow.
We got a glimpse of our future core, well at least a part of it, with Weitering, C. Curnow, Cripps, Plowman. It's exciting.

...and Plowman ;) :D
In the spirit of celebrating our debutants - loved Sumners grunt, chase, and couple of goals. Plowman was, as many have said, super in his first senior game after return from injury. He made it look like nullifying Stringer was all in a first game back.... Perhaps we have our own Package....
Welcome boys (thanks SOS - recruiting tick)

His chases had the intensity that has so often been lacking with others (e.g Gibbs, Yarran) and his physical pressure (rather than vague proximity) contributed to turnovers.

And Harry McKay later on too.

Real shame Harry copped that injury. He'd be playing right now you'd think.
CC was outstanding. Great size. A lot to like in his 3rd game.
Sumners mark where he got taken out and then the reaction of our players........bravery and team spirit..we dont get much of that so I will saviour that bit of play..
Really like Sumner and Plowmans debut for the club and it gives us players we can get enthused about....

It will come together one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but it will happen.
Just the young guys not giving up despite no leadership from our senior group.
How our players responded to the hit on Sumner, Sumner calmly slotting the goal and his post-game comments about the players' response.
As Bolton said, "The future is strong at our footy club."
The way we get around players when they kick their debut goal.
We weren't good at it before.

Who could forget a couple of years ago when Gibbs started a melee and Mitch Robinson came to his aid and Bryce walked off and left Robbo to fight them on his own?
collingwood and richmond thumping

That was by dumping Heppell against the bombers at quarter time in 2012 when we beat them by roughly 94 odd points.

Such a poonce. Man bun does him no favours in this regard.
Our guys lowering there eyes to hit a leading target in the second half. Daisy and C Curnow (Buckley spilt it) and we looked more dangerous. Went to much bomb long in the last when we had the pressure on.

Yes, when we got all those players from GWS the only ones we really wanted were Jaksch, Plowman and Sumner, all early-mid first rounders. Rest were steak knives. If one or two of those turn out it's a massive bonus. I'm thinking we're going to do well there.

KJ was the year before and frankly I don't think SOS was doing us any favours I think he was doing what was best for his employer at the time, GWS.
He might end up a good get (he certainly looked good in last years pre-season) but not yet.
