Keep going like this and it's going to be a bit of an embarrassment....'have the bosses gone off half cocked'.

Ironic that Casboult who had had a dirty day imposed himself a bit at the end.

I guess the perspective viewpoint is that if the game was in Freo it might not have been the same result and that the players know its crunch time for coach and a few of them career wise and the effort had to improve, which it has.
Some cruel individuals might even suggest some missing players this week might have worked in our favour...😉

They clearly didn't look at the fixture when they called for the review. I did.

Well, he was fresh from doing SFA for the rest of the game.

If Casboult didn't play we would have lost.

Tonight showed why Pittonet is underrated.
TDK ragdolled tonight.

Dow is growing every week.
Kennedy started well....disappeared but was ok at the death.
We carried Cripps
Ed Curnow is taking a back seat from midfield duties

Our young crop is growing, evolving, improving....

Both Kennedy and Dow dropped off after early fire. Hopefully that’s the next step — turn 2 qs into 4

So many little things I liked about our game. Fast start and fighting finish though were the best 👏 It shows we have the fitness to match mid-ladder sides. Also suggests confidence and belief is building. All this despite one of the longest list of injuries.

Loved that a team first effort led by the natural leaders was the difference. Stocker, Dow, Kennedy, Walsh, SOS, Crippa, Weiters-Jones, Eddie were fantastic. The defensive efforts by H and many others, and our goalkicking / de was the difference in the end. We finally won the tackle count too.

Darcy is a big unit and TDK got tired trying to out jump him.....Casboult was next to useless as well in the ruck which doesnt help him either.
Agree on Pittonet though, more valuable than most think, its not about winning the ruck everytime but just nullifying
the opposition rucks and breaking even when they probably have the edge in numbers and ability.

Casboult next to useless? His work in the last quarter when De Koning was spent was crucial. Pittonet would have given a contest but Darcy would have been far too strong and skillful for him. As Jack Dyer used to say, Pittonet is a good ordinary player who is, at best, a back up ruckman.

Interesting derm , in the last q, talking about how cas actually held up much better than tdk, in the ruck. Tdk tired quickly and freo started dominating out of the middle. CAS held his own a bit more and neutralised Darcy a bit

Weiters was hugerer

Loved the look on his face when he took a goal saving grab (on the 3q siren?), and gave every teammate in earshot a spray - looked like a bit of “why the fck do I keep having to bail you guys out”

Jones is a ripper but has the odd brain fade with his disposal.

They clearly didn't look at the fixture when they called for the review. I did.

Considering the result, listening to the crowd reaction to Teague and watching his interaction with the players at the end of the game I'd suggest many of the media will be jumping on the 'Kruddler tram' this week.

The thing is that the focus of media attention this week probably wont be the game itself and the positive aspects.
It will be how stupid are Carlton conducting a review on a side while they're still competitive.
