Nonetheless, it's makes it even more clear that DT and crew shat themselves in selections against North.

Terrific win, but....

Hindsight would've played Jones forward last week then focussed on locking up the backline, similar to the way we played against Geelong. Was always going to be difficult with the side we had, just that 3rd qtr.

That's the first game this year I felt confident we'd win.

There were so many very good passages of play. Goalkicking finally decent. Solid contribution from most. Feel good Charlie had a perfect return, which the boys seemed to thrive on. We took our foot off after the game was won but didn't lose confidence when Saints had a run on.

Most impressive though:
Our pressure all over the ground
Sticking tackles
Teamwork- the WE
Toughness against the odds of injury (?umps) and coming of a poor performance
Oh. We're sweeter with Honey 🍯
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Should win against the Gold Coast in Melbourne. Reckon Mirkov might be getting a run next week now his knee has recovered.

I don't think his knee has recovered has it?

He's only played a handful of aussie rules games. No chance next week.

Gov will ruck before him.

We had no talls to choose from. What did you expect to happen?

Nobody in the media has cited the fact we went in without any recognised key forwards last week.....but thats because nobody actually looks at our games....or our injury list.

You, and us, should know better though.



rubbish. Brackets had been in full training for a month ++.

Charlie could have played.

Need I say more?

Finals, then 4 in a row!

Does anyone expect any different?



We don't, but it's probably worth mentioning that Silvagni's set  career bests tonight in

Disposals 25
Tackles 9 and a few other stats.

Charlie could've played, i agree.

But they've had a plan in place to get blokes fit and they don't seem to deviate from that (for fear of more injuries) despite what the team balance is doing.

Some have been critical for playing injured players (Cripps) or players who are unfit (Williams, Martin) so they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

It was very interesting.

JSOS - legend.

And I'm not his biggest fan.

Very good team effort - the bottom 6 were important.

Mirkov is out injured for the rest of the year.
Oscar McDonald / Casboult are our only possible ruck option - if they can make it back.

I heard his knee had recovered. Is he playing tomorrow? I haven't looked.

EDIT: Just read this on the Carlton site.

"We're getting him in shape to play: whether he plays this year remains to be seen."

Unlikely.

There was genuine care and intent tonight, across the board. They did exactly what was required after last weeks debacle. I am very happy for them and the coach.

I wrote this in the pre match thread.

Games like today are the exception not the rule.

For each one you pick yourself up for like this you're more likely to have to do this where it doesnt work.

See the numbers below.

Watched the whole game post Q1 and I just didn't see Steele as a factor?

Tom Mitchellesque?

Why hasn't Honey been playing. Clearly one of our best small forward performances for the year. Absolutely an AFL level player.

O'Brien 21 pos. including 4 goal assists (probably the best by a Carlton player this season). Ridiculous how the club has left him to rot all season.

Graham and Kemp should also be playing. Newnes and Plowman.... not so much.

It was a brutal review last Monday and they responded. Good to see they responded to the performance and the coach. Never would happen with the others, bar Ratts. We'd just turn up and cop a hiding again. We often responded when Ratts gave it to them.
