Re: Post Game Party!: AFL 2020 Rd 3: Carlton vs Geelong

I simply cannot fault the first three qtrs, no mistakes, run and carry, pin point passes, tackling like men possessed, hardness like I havent seen before, small fwds getting out the back, two way gut running, no passengers, a hamburger with the lot. To a man, they took it right up to the Handbagger Bullyboys on their own dungheap like no has in a very long time. Injuries or not, they simply couldnt stop Carlton no matter what they tried. I posted in the in game that at Half time, Scott absolutely gave it to the Holy Trinity in the sheds, Fatblett looked like he was about to start crying, Scott looked like he was going to have a stroke delivering that spray. I just smiled. Whilst the 4th qtr was disappointing, they had done enough work to keep their noses in front which was pleasing. As for Eddie? Could have had 5 but instead was the the consummate team man, he marshaled that fwd line to perfection. That left foot pass to Murph, who had three defenders bearing down on him, was sublime. I had two Haw mates text me thanking Carlton for beating Geelong, one said "If your mob could put together 4 qtrs like that every week, you would beat everyone". So thats the challenge, those first 3 qtrs were the benchmark.
