While not many will give him credit thought Rowe was terrific today.

Beat 2 flogs in 2 consecutive weeks.

Accurate and well said.

Plowman went at 93% disposal efficiency. That's what we want off the half back line!!  A definite green shoot!!

Very reliable defender is Plowman and love his composure down back...

Tuohy has left a bigger hole than we thought that he might by the way.

He has left exactly the size hole I thought he would.

Without him we had the ridiculous match up of White on the speedy Garlett for much of the day. To misquote a famous squirrel "That trick will never work"

Sad to say, I reckon time has caught up with Simmo.


Unfortunately, he seems to have lost more than a yard of pace in the off-season.

Ed Curnow survives because he is seen as a tagger only, and excused for lack of skill....the good clubs have their taggers working both ways, his position needs looking at IMO if he cant get more ball and use it more effectively..


I thought Ed was very poor last week because he was not used as a tagger. This week he ran with Lewis and was very effective; perhaps he needs to be taken to where the action is.

I think C Curnow's form will probably mean that if anyone makes way for Mackay, it will be him.

He doesn't seem to play like a key forward; maybe he should play as a wingman where he can use his running capacity.

Give him some freedom to find his confidence.

Thought I heard on SEN that Lewis fractured Cripps' jaw.   Also SEN said the medical report re Rowe said he ended up with concussion.  Anyone heard anything that might confirm that?

i want to see Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman and Macredie stay down back.
They need to learn the art and they'll learn quick.
We need to get something right and settled. Back 6 is a start.

C Curnow needs to have a stint in the 2's to get grunt, passion and confidence back
He's suffering or is loosing interest, hard to tell. He has no natural 2nd or 3rd effort in him. He seems to rely on hangers. Poor below his knees.

Pickett will be good, as long as he remains hungry and disciplined
sps will be something i think.
Silvagni gets a bit emotional and it affects his game.
Murphy needs to step up.

Mackay needs to get a run i think

Cripps jaw confirmed, will miss the next, not sure about Rowe

Spot on TTB, my sentiments exactly.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

And on Cripps kicking, anyone who suggests its poor should look at the delivery to SPS who subsequently kicked his first goal of his career. It was Diesel like.
