Carlton Supporters Club

Great moral boosting win for the club and supporters!

Waite, Casboult, Henderson. I reckon most clubs would kill for a key position trio like that! Thought Waite was enormous tonight. A real matchwinner. Amazing he's been playing reserves football.

Nicky Graham come on down! That bit of play with the shepherd and goal was enormous. Very tidy disposal and more importantly beautiful technique.  His nine iron in traffic to put us in space for the sealing goal in the last quarter was elite! I can't remember who it was that said he has poor disposal but it's off to OPSM for them! Really been a waste for him this year, must play every week from now on.

Cam Wood was a huge upgrade on Kreuzer/Warnock/Hampson. Felt weird to have a real ruckman out there for once!

Wood is an improvement on Warnock but Goldstein beat him easily in the ruck.
Good effort by the boys, Gibbs and Murph set the standard from the first bounce.

I'm really happy we have re-signed Bryce Gibbs

Tapouts were 49-33 Norths way. Don't know the breakdown though re: Wood/Casboult, Goldstein/whoever their other ruck is, but Wood smashed Goldstein around the ground.

Problem being that was the good Waite tonight...chasing, marking well, converting, not being dumb.....can he do it next week and the week after?

Lachie Hansen is putrid as a defender and Firrito and McMahon are not much better.....how they beat the top teams is beyond me...

North Melbourne are frauds !!

And tonight just showed that both teams are miles away from the top 4 in the competition.

Cameron Wood, well done fella, took the opportunity with open arms and has resigned Warnock to the Trade Table for once and for all. Thank god for that !!

Graham was brought on in place of Everitt due to injury and played 3/4 of the game. Kicked a nice goal and did okay but he still has some way to go before he is where we really want him to be. More senior game time will assist in that.

Six goals to Henderson (4 in the last) was terrific and McLean pulling out giving Waite a game was a noble gesture by Brock. 

I thought Graham was excellent.  Used the pill very well and stood in the right spots.  Even tackled well.  Cameron Wood 100 times better than 206.

Bit of a downer if Menzels knee is gone again.

I'm really happy we have re-signed Bryce Gibbs

The thing is, at his best, he is just about our best player when going. Take away the dumb sh1t, brain fades, consistency at times, and the general frustration etc etc  etc etc.....he has been a damn good player for us.
