One of the best four quarter efforts we've seen in recent memory.
The opposition were depeleted at the end, but 'resistance was futile'
They were overwhelmed.
A real 'team' performance on our part...and they looked like they were enjoying it all the way through the game.

If the players were keen to help Fraser make up his mind they definitely gave him a 'thumbs up' ;)  :D .

Going through the annals of carlton folklore shows something.  Players like Ratten played high level football every week and this made our guns walk taller and elevated the status of lesser players too.

Not that Ratten wasn't a brilliant player, but he was super consistent and reliable.

We have seldom had players in that mould but have had many that were capable of brilliance.

St Kilda weren't too bad yesterday.
We know they have some talent.
Some we may not be able to control for all of the game.
It took a big effort for the Swans to get over the top of them.
The Silvagni injury hurt them.

We were on a bit of a high...
Will there be a let down?
Cripps and Haynes in milestone games.
I'm wondering whether there might have also been a message to the decision makers in terms of "playing for Fraser."
The team are making it hard to look elsewhere.

Both teams will have strong incentives to win.
Probably a 50/50 game.

Bit of a perfect storm for us last night.

- All the young kids played out of their skin.
- kemp shed his kicking yips
- harry started holding his marks
- we were super accurate with the ball innfront of goal (and largely around the ground)
- lions copped some in game injuries
- brisbane threw up their hands and claimed 'too hard' for the second time this year..... only effort worse was against gws

Hopefully we didnt use up all our luck and/or favours this week and have some left for the saints next week.
