While he doesn’t believe the win was a lesson in coaching from interim Fraser, Simpson did concede that everything the Blues have been working on – even prior to Fraser’s tenure – was on show in full effect on Saturday night.

“I’m not sure it’s a masterclass, but everything they tried worked,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s just playing your way. A lot of the things Carlton have done really well in the last 10 weeks; they were working on in November and December.

“That’s the beauty of the transition that Josh made. He didn’t tweak a lot of things, but they evolved really quickly.
based on that Vossy wasn’t given enough time, just when that debate was beginning to subside🙄. Also far from an ringing endorsement for Fraser as our next senior coach.

I wouldn't be flirting with form. I don't think Weitering should be an automatic in.
Can you imagine saying that 10 weeks ago….but your point is valid, hard to pinpoint anyone to be dropped on the back of last Saturday’s performance. If he’s right to go I’m sure he’ll be in with Young being the unlucky out.

We have to win this week. Saints won't lose again.

Lose this week and we have to beat Freo to make it. (and the dogs)
Dogs themselves don't have it too easy. They should beat North, although North tend to make things tough for most sides even in defeat, but then they play us and Melbourne. It could be a last chance saloon for us in case St.Kilda roll us but we'd have to beat both the Dogs and Freo. A win this week and a 2 game buffer on the Saints sounds much better.

When Weiters is fit, he slots straight back into full back and we should be trying Derksen forward.  Played several games there for GWS in the VFL for a pretty solid goalkicking return.  And he has very good hands as we have seen.  He also kicked 5 against Casey Demons earlier this year.
Probably right there.
The other question is who goes out, most probably Lewis (depending on match ups) but his last couple of weeks have been very good.

One of the buggers of a game like Saturday, you can only enjoy it for a couple of days then have to back up a week later and do it again. Suppose it's the same unless you win the GF. This week more than ever. An 8pt game to end all 8 point games. Win and we are 2 games clear of St.Kilda heading towards a wildcard, needing only one win to make it. Lose and they jump us.

2 wins would be nice to finish with a positive win/loss record.
im a conspiracy theorist. 

We dont win this week, and gws jag a win, and its a race to 10th.

The afl want as much attention as possible so expect a loss.

As far as Weitering goes I would like to try him forward. Played some decent games there for a while as a skinnier kid until it become a struggle, as happens bring a Carlton forward back then. As a mature player he might be alot better again.
