Re: Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) Reply #15 – August 23, 2015, 06:55:08 pm Stoked to see that win. Yes we dropped away in the third, but the players eventually responded. Boekhorst drilling Cripps in that last quarter was awesome. Stuff pick 1. Anyone who thinks our future hangs on pick 1 instead of pick 2 will never learn from history. Quote Selected

Needs a tank though, the second kick was to Everitt in the pocket, he won it off half back, got the ball on and had to be coaxed into running again to receive by Simmo. the croos body to Cripps was bordering on orgasmic. Who would have guessed, if you have Walker forward you benefit the side in two was; 1 - no big turn overs off half back and a bloody good leading forward who kicks for goal better that his field kicking.Everitt still looks half interested at best.Cripps to Kruezer with the no look hand pass and goal from 50 WAS orgasmic!Buckley was aggressive and controlled with his disposal and run, our boy is growing up.

Re: Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) Reply #20 – August 23, 2015, 07:03:00 pm Really? I see plenty in Jaksch. Moves like a likely type, I just can't believe we haven't been getting games into him. Quote Selected
Re: Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) Reply #21 – August 23, 2015, 07:04:47 pm and as I've posted elsewhere, next week I hope we're the lesbian blues, NO DICK! He was as terrible as the pun, sorry I'm working a bit blue tonight. Quote Selected
Re: Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) Reply #22 – August 23, 2015, 07:08:20 pm I watched the last quarter and that was enough for me to stamp Mathew Dick's papers for the very last time.What did Malthouse & Co see in him ?? Quote Selected
Re: Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle) Reply #23 – August 23, 2015, 07:11:00 pm Tutt needs a to control his speed, he needs a footy brain, not sure its achievableJacksch needs pre-seasons, then he'll be okWhiley has nothing to give. Bell wants to be the hero all the time, needs to learn that its ok to be in a link in the chain.BB needs muscle. Watson never looked dangerous as a forward, cant play defence, so...Dick is vflWinning beats Tanking. Go Baggers! Quote Selected
