Can I just share a pretty funny piece of commentary from the crowd (at least I think it was funny). A StK supporter and I were going toe to toe with the jibes, he was going hard at Daisy, I was going hard at St Nick. So it was all square when Casboult marked in the last qtr and lined up for goal. This guy stands up and yells "Carlton? Set up your zone, set up your zone". I clapped that TBH and he shaded ahead and won the day's joust.
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

Don't dispute that, just don't think its sustainable. When we controlled the ball by chipping it around, they couldnt cope. When we turned up the heat and cracked in, they went to water I felt, as I said earlier, they like the outside stuff which they are very good at. When the whips are cracking deep in Sep, I dont think they will cope.
Ill tell what will also bring them undone, gifting games to Saint Nick. He is finished.

They won't go far in September agree with that, just talking the here and now. Right now they're as hot as anyone and we matched them. They won't be that hot forever and hope we can get them next time.

...since the dawn of time with that mob Shawny, as sure as death and taxes... gave up getting upset at getting stiffed against this mob years ago.  At times it is so bad you wonder if it is to instructions... don't get me started on St Nick or the lauded Lenny "never caught in possession against Carlton" Hayes...
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I am very pleased with today's performance and result. I thought we'd trail by about 40 or so, provided we bought our best. So much so that I could sit and watch the game with my saints partner. When we played them last year, I couldn't stay in my seat. I get why BB does laps around the coaches box :-[

Our youngsters will wax and wane. That's a given. A couple of our seniors had a quiet one for sure. But our leaders and most of the 2nd tier players were fantastic. Murphy, MK, Gibbs, COS, Simmons, Rowe (probs others too) stood up against an in form hard, fast, mature team. Crippa, Docherty, Plowman showed their class. Samo, Marchbank, SOJ, and Williamson were solid. Little Zac got thrown around like a rag doll at times. Love how he bounces back though. He's going to be a star.

Got a couple of incorrect umpiring decisions by omission and commission, at crucial times. Really punished us when we had the momentum  :o Bit of luck with that and we could have scraped over the line. Not to be, but can't fault the coaching, effort, and skills for the most part.

So much to like. Progressing nicely.

They have a powerful selection of tall goalkickers in Nick, Membrey, and Bruce (and young Paddy... ). I think our defense did an excellent job holding them.
In fact they've really held some of the leagues best. Dixon, Buddy, Daniher, Lynch etc. We're building a defense others will envy..

Not sure I saw it that way..........

I thought Riewoldt was one of there best. Got possessions all over the ground and took marchy out of his comfort zone. henwasnt pantsed, but he'd be a very tired boy.

I heard a rumor he was targeted with some rather unsavoury sledging!

If what I've heard is correct, it looks like The Aints are playing 80s style football, open season on all subject matter excluding the reportable stuff! Pretty ordinary to say the least!

Won't win them a final, only inspires opposition to lift on the rematch!

Not read all of this thread yet but a guy on the train after the game claimed that Murph actually spat on Carlisle whilst he was on the ground and that's why he was being booed. Don't know if this is true but if so it's very un-Murph like and he must have been pushed a very long way to react like that!
Reality always wins in the end.

I was pretty happy with the efforts today. We fought it out well and matched them well for long periods of the game. We just ran out of petrol in the end but the boys fought it out to the end and with a bit more luck we could even have pinched it. Ah well, the glory that might have been! Disappointed for the boys more than anything but hey - we're sure on the right track.
