Umpiring was terrible

Got sick of seeing Cripps held by Raines without the ball, and I think they forgot about high contact.

Ellard - never again please. Near useless
Mendel - if he has a knee take him off.
White - needs Jammo back to get him off the bigs.

Holman - great tackle then two of the best passes when many would take a shot. Needs a full game.
Armfield - was fantastic, pressure running, breaking lines and tackles.
Yarran - used the ball very well and timed his runs, just didn't take off for the sake of it.
Everitt - Third tall forward is his position.

Carlton boys - let's not be pussies any more. When a team is belting your young gun, take them out. Raines and Rischtelli should have been put on their asses every time they went by a senior player. Kruezer, Wood, Henderson, Bell, White, Casboult .... run through them next time

Two weeks in a row that we've been challenged and come back. Been a while since we could do that. These two wins have been important.

But now the real test comes as we are about to play a good side in good form - Bulldogs. Both Port and GC are struggling, still good sides who'll knock you over if you slacken but none-the-less not in good form. So this upcoming game against the Dishlickers will be just what the doc ordered, we'll see where we are.

Agree on all fronts.....Armfield was gone for all money early in the year but has been a real spark in the past two games, Holman should have been played earlier and Everitt as you said does his best work being a laconic 3rd tall forward.

@Baggers

TBF I thought Port threw everything at us, that's what made the win so impressive.

Any reports on the extent of Menzels knee injury?

We didn't play as well as last week but a win is a win, Gold Coast are very ordinary.
Best players were Murphy, Bell, Simpson, Tuohy, Yarran, Docherty, Kreuzer and Wood for me, Kreuzer's second and third efforts are a joy to behold.
We'll have a better idea of where we are in the next three or four weeks.

Raines is a deadest dog.

Touhy the biggest improver since Barker taking charge. Completely different player.

Loved his goal. That's two running goals from half backs at big moments in the game.

Blokes like Touhy were confused by the

gameplan which didn't reward instinctive, natural play.

Just watched the highlights... Dennis had a fair kind of a day.

Gees the umpiring was putrid... a lot of WTF ? stuff. The other mob were a bit excessive at times - some decent umpiring would have stopped this early but they clearly lacked any feel for the game today.

Are we the only team that gets pinged for a double goal?
