Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 18: Carlton vs Collingwood
Reply #97 –
Just watched the replay. A few observations:
- we are not dependent on Cripps
- Kennedy and Dow's time in 2's pays off
- Natural growth of many is now on show
- Walsh 🤔 nope, got nothing
- TDK learning on the run, needs support
- SOS Strong yet vulnerable. Fallible yet brilliant. Above all a natural tenacious footballer who is loved and respected at CFC
- Weiters Jones and co are a team within a team
- 1:1 had Weiters grinning like a Cheshire cat
- Stocker developing rapidly. Future leader. Support for SOS post game was touching
- New recruits settling in
- H is for holy sh&$ wait till he plays with Charlie
- Eddie's an eternal gift to AFL
- Effort becoming more consistent
- Lapses reducing
- Goal kicking a priority
- Umpiring slightly favoured us 😯
- Most parts are in place. Next is to play together. Then the rise 🚀
- We're becoming an attractive destination club. Like it or not - AFL boys club (too much??)
Kennedy and Dow must play for the rest of the year. Something building there. Funny how when Crippa isn't playing, it gives others the chance to show their wares.
TDK has played 17 games of senior footy, but held his own against one of the best. Needs to spend the summer in the gym.
Stocker will be a gun - close to our best kick atm.
Silvagni will only be better when he gets 3rd or 4th defender instead of #2.
Weitering and Walsh a lock for AA selection. 2 games in 3 weeks Walsh seals a win with a stunning goal.
Saad and Williams now providing drive instead of running around in circles.
Only kick to Harry if he can mark it 50 out on a 45 deg angle - doesn't seem to miss from there.
Still a long way off serious contention, but the darker clouds are starting to part. Just wish we could have those games against Sydney and WCE all over again.
