Not sure where exactly to put this. For those interested in something a little lighthearted, a chat between Tracey McKay and Jackie De Koning, mums of the McKay and De Koning boys.

I listened to both episodes, a very pleasant listen. Nice to get a different perspective. Also nice there are 2 Carlton players that are sons so a bit of 'inside' talk

Agreed Thry.....if we're serious and on, we should win easily. We still need to learn how to really bury sides when we have the advantage and % could be critical come the pointy end of the season.
Agree on the percentage. For too many years we have been just hoping for a win, now we need a win + the percentage that goes when good sides have good wins.

I have been pretty happy with Cuningham and Fogarty so far.

These are 2 players I have been very interested in.
I keep waiting for Cunningham to have that really big game but I have been somewhat disappointed so far this year - fingers crossed going forward.
Fogarty I was generally uninterested in 10-12 months ago - I had him well behind Owies, Motlop, small Durdin, and even Cunningham but he is certainly exceeding my expectations - hopefully his good form continues and he does seem to offer more than just the small forward role (which is where I had him playing)

It's been interesting to see the team ratings. A number of non A (or A+), including me. This game was as tough as they get - VG opponent, us undermanned and an away game at a ground we really struggle at. Any win in these conditions would typically be an A+.
I tend to think it should be an A+ for easily beating a fully manned good side away but then is there the 'they just had an off day' mindset?
Seems one bad 1/4 and just the 1 point win has had an impact on the team rating.
Seems expectations are already much higher.
