Ill also add that this is yet another example of what player confidence and enjoyment can bring. Crippa has been mentioning "joy" in many of his interviews of late. Given he is studying psychology, I'd guess he has been leading and driving the "joy" theme. Florent mentioned fun in his interview last night as well as doing your job, nothing more nothing less. From Young and Byrne to Crippa and Walsh, everyone is playing their role. No passengers, its a wonderful thing to see.

Hate StK so very happy to win it and feel quite ambivalent to JSOS and TDK - think it was an error they left and you wonder now of the future of the Silvagni legacy at Carlton. Its just a bit sad.
Maybe, just maybe JSOS might come back ala Justin Murphy, Eddie Betts style?
But then what can he add to the team?

Well he and the bench were shown continuously throughout the game, more so than the farking game! So infuriating. The telecasts and commentary have just gotten worse and worse.

With an exception - Abbey Holmes is an absolute natural in her interviews with the players, she outclasses BT Reiwoldt and Hamish McL.

Did anyone hear BT say after Nas’ injury a snide remark about how the players weren’t able to warm up on the ground before the game - inferring the AFLW game gad somehow contributed to Nas’ injury 🙄 ffs so sick of these dinosaurs getting airtime.

Hmm, I wouldnt go too hard about that.

It may have been a valid concern that the warm up time is restricted, but the reality is, Nas injury was more likely caused by Walsh's push, in conjunction with structural weakness in his lower back, or over compensation from his latest hip woes.

At the end of the day, injuries are a product of luck, biomechanics, and the work (or absence of) done prior.

Asserting he is a dinosaur for not getting players warm up time is a bit rich.  Its perfectly valid when you see them out there one hour before the bounce having a bit of a run around and general preparation.

NRL comes out for an early warm up, then completes most of it inside before arriving back on the ground moments before the start of play. They have more repeat / explosive running than AFL.

NWM, Ross the Boss exposed the truth post game, he had a hip pointer during the week which is why he didn't train, almost certainly bleeding or inflammation in the upper leg has cause his hammy problem.

btw., BT was in a sour mood, not happy commentating Carlton and not happy working Sunday night. He should have been stoic and kept himself up for the Spud game instead of dragging it down, but he can't help himself when he commentates our games, He'll talk about the clouds, seagulls, grass or even the garbage before he mentions the footy!

I am of the age that I remember when the chant was "Shame Fraser Shame". I must admit I am struggling a bit with the "We Want Fraser" one. Surely the St.Kilda experiment of Lyon and Silvagni has run its course. I watched the replay of the Gold Coast game last week and I was impressed by the number of very good players they have, they just don't play as a team. St.Kilda don't have enough good players, and while they are well drilled and well prepared, they don't look committed. Not sure what their recruiting strategy is or whether it is working.
Carlton wasn't as clean this week as last, which is expected, but we were pretty good. We next week not only do we make the ten, we finish up ninth and we may have a shot at Collingwood. Our skills look ok, our young guys are doing well, the spirit at the Club is good, our recruiting seems to be coming together, I am not sure what all the fuss was about at the start of the year.
