There was a LOT to like about today. But we have to improve more to beat the upper sides (even though Port thinks they are one).

Very true however now teams wont turn up, kick our ass, embarrass our club and go home. They now know they are in for a fight when they play us. We are not pushovers anymore, we can and will defend and we can and will attack. We will get in your face and you will go home knowing you played a game. You may even go home with an L instead of a W.
Go Blues.

I like Mr Plow.

Started on Wingard, ended up on Dixon. Think he is a really solid defender, doesn't panic and does some great spoiling. Copped a massive knee in the back from Dixon and shook it off.

Yep big fan of Mr Plow. Can't believe he's only played the 25 games.

We are seeing value from Daisy now.

At critical moments, he is a cool head who displays the decision making and execution that many lack, at precisely the right time.

He isn't a Judd, he isn't a pendlebury, he isn't a cripps but he is a classy Mr fix it and see are seeing his best now that we have everyone pulling in the same direction.

THIS
Who'd have guessed the wood ducks could dish this up at this stage?
Loving the united Blues

Enjoy your celebrations Bluebaggers. We might have a little lapse for a bit now, if the injury toll is as speculated

Very proud at this stage of the journey, regardless what the rest of the season brings.
Hopefully though, we'll see a bit of the new kids, and opportunities for others to step up.

YES! We are rapidly becoming a team that no one is looking forward to playing against. Like a pack of dogs at you.

Thry. I think he can only get better. Remember his best football at Collingwood was when he wasn't depended on to be a complete champion. He didn't carry the side on his own shoulders as Judd has done for us for some years. I hope we get more out of Jones. While he is a good kick for goal and can mark on a lead. He isn't flash at hitting packs for contested marks, and comes to ground to easy still. He also gets lazy at ground level and leaves the work of chasing to others at times. I f he can fix some of his small issues, he may be a good tall 3rd forward. Not bagging him here. Just making an observation in my opinion only.

We used to win milestone games all the time.. Then we just didn't - maybe starting with SOS or Bradley 250th/300th. It is so great to see us win for Simpson, Keh? along with the attached emotion and sheer joy. Surely there can't be a Carlton supporter that doesn't at least like him.

Got to watch it after the event. Awesome team game.

I did get a bit confused by Danny Frawley at one stage calling Simpson our wicketkeeper (I think he to where he was on the ground). Worse was when he tried to explain why.

This thread has been a great read! It was a fantastic win, very gutsy.

The Carlton I saw today is the Carlton I have been looking for for the last 10+ years.....

It's nice to have them back !!

And those ex GWS boys continue to impress ... Sumner , Lamb and Plowman again today hats off to SOS its still early doors but that could turn out to be the one of the best trades in the history of our club.

Gibbs was in opposition faces all day needs to do that every week - he was a real leader today long may it last

For probably the first time since we drafted him, Gibbs is in a TEAM where every player is required to chase hard to create pressure. Other downhill skiers have been let go so Gibbs can no longer afford to be seen giving (what used to be) his usual token chase. He has always had the capacity but not the desperation.

Brendan BLUE Bolton, just love the man.
Doullherty, well how good is this guy.

I think Bolton's measured replies post-match say it all. It was a great "effort" game, and that gives you some pride to take away from the game, but in the cold hard light of day there is still much to improve.

Finals football is Everest Base Camp, we are actually looking like we want to get there, but we have only just started the walk through the foot hills and we are roughing out the map and plan. This time next season, provided the AFL don't b0rk up the rules again, we will have a clearly definitive plan of attack and be on the rise.
