I don't get the negativity about last night's win. It was a good, solid win... one we had to and should have won. They threw everything at us and we had the answers. The twin talls up forward were both terrific. And when Eddie came on he showed some of his old dash.

Another big test is against a mob who like to beat us up... the Kangabies. Huge game.

I'll just see how they go v. North before I get too optimistic - I've been burnt once too often in the past by getting too far ahead of the real situation.

IN THE BAG COOKIE!!

It will be a much harder and higher quality game, but still a win.

4-5 goals.

N e 1 hear MM's presser after the game?
Was listening on radio on way home and they were asking why Watto hasnt been getting a game.......I nearly drove off the road when MM said that Watto's form ALL YEAR has been very encouraging but Jamo and hendo were doing the job for him.  His form encouraging

I cant take MM seriously any more after that. Cudo's to Watto for last nights effort. It wasnt awe inspiring but he did " a " job and passed. Hopefully he can keep it up and prove to everybody that he really does want to be a Blue.

MM just feeds the media whatever he likes... protects his boys from scrutiny (individuals that is) and sends the media off on wild goose chases and seldom gives anything away. I love it. He must laugh down his sleeve when he gets back to the rooms...

If he gets asked the question a smart coach isn't going to talk him down. He is a whipping boy and often plays alot better than everyone thinks. He has his knocks, intensity, pace etc.., which I have seen, but hasn't let anyone down yet when he's played seniors. Remember he's just a 20yo KP player. Would be such a massive bonus to our entire structure if he made it.

We need to play both Watson and Casboult.

Watson kicks out from Fullback to Centre Half Forward where Casboult marks it... not sure what happens after that though....

A glimpse of the future to look forward to perhaps Lods??

It's actually a tactic we used to use quite effectively...(I think it was back in the Madden days.)
The fullback would kick long to our ruckman in the middle.
Often he'd just knock it further forward and we were into attack from the kickout.
There was one monster kick by Watson last night.

Watching the replay. Surprised how well a couple of times Watson closed on opposition leads, once on Reiwoldt and got the spoil in.

Did anyone notice how lacklustre the team song was sung after the game? Didn't look good. I think a big problem with this side is they have too many introverts and not enough that show genuine leadership qualities.

Or maybe they don't like hearing how $hite they are from their employer 

Or maybe 'cos it was just a win against a team that has won just 3 games this year. Final siren went & I didn't see any Carlton supporters jumping around hysterically in delight.....some sang the song, most of us just smiled in quiet satisfaction & made our way out of the stadium. It ended up being a solid win (in margin) against a lowly opponent. Job done - what sort of reaction did you expect from the players....a lap of honour, followed-up with champagne popping in the rooms!? Purlease.....

Initially I was happy with that effort but Reiwoldt was on one leg and had lost a bit of dash at that point.
