I wish I was there. Watching on TV isn't the same. No way to release the pent up emotion.

We weren’t that bad; we just weren’t as good as we needed to be. Early in the game we looked pretty good in patches, but a poor 4th quarter killed us.
Votes:
This was another game where Carlton were a team, rather than having a stand-out individual. We probably needed someone to stand up and dominate the game.
[3] Sam Walsh

[1] Kade Simpson
[0.5] Patrick Cripps
[0.5] Zac Fisher
[0.5] Cameron Polson
Explanations:
[3] Sam Walsh A very solid game in all parts.
[2] Ed Curnow: Another Ed Curnow game. Strong and hard working.
[2] Will Setterfield Setters was good early, but his influence waned.
[2] Jacob Weitering: Dominated his position yet again.
[1.5] Liam Jones Excellent early, Jones won his position comfortably.
[1] Eddie Betts: In a number of respects, this was Eddie’s best game for ages. He was a danger every time the ball came into our forward line. With a little luck could have had 5 goals. But his inability to pick up his man going the other way really hurt us.
[1] Sam Docherty: Solid in defence.
[1] Kade Simpson A solid Simmo game.
[0.5] Patrick Cripps: Cripps didn’t have a big night, but he was always in the clinches, getting tackles and working hard.
[0.5] Zac Fisher: Another player who was dangerous, who did some good things, but who didn’t do enough of them often enough.
[0.5] Cameron Polson: Closed down Thomas after Thomas had started well.
Honourable Mentions:
Jack Newnes: Solid effort
Lachie Plowman: Solid in defence.

Jones was unlucky to miss out but Betts did just enough to pip him at the post.
Nobody has voted for days. I'll finish this thread now.
