Normally you can learn a fair bit looking at the team stats, but I'm going to struggled to get much from these. Most of them we totally dominated.
The tackles one is the one that worries me a tad, even though we made the Casey guys into witch's hats:
Carlton: 37
Casey: 42

37 tackles for an entire game? That doesn't sit well with me. However, it guess we had the ball so much more that we didn't have the need to tackles often, but I'd have been happier if we had around 70.
you cant tackle your team mate crash.  It was one way traffic and the Melbourne players hardly got a touch.

@crash no to rivers.  If he was any good he would be in the ones.  They arent exactly flushed with talent.

I thought charleson was extremely good coming out of defence and helped set us up significantly for drive going forward.  

Good pick-up 3 Leos. I forgot to mention him - so many good players to choose from!! Charleson was extremely good, as you mentioned. Showed really good judgment and has a footy brain... measurable improvement.

From what I've seen of him I'd be giving him a game and a contract extension.
A player that is improving.
He's not as flashy as some but goes about his work without a lot of fuss.

The game should be a biiig confidence booster for us. The most effective I’ve seen us play for some time. Despite losing I felt strangely elated at the end!
Praying we can go on with it going forward. 🙏🏻
What stood out for me was Cripps going back to what he does best, get, give. There was one centre clearance in the last where he got it and dished off diving forward. Thats what we need from him, not the playing on trying to beat players but foot.
