Walsh was unbelievable and was the best player on the ground for either team.
 He played like he wanted to defeat his brother's team, sibling rivalry?

How do we find another Sam Walsh or someone who can be 80% of Sam Walsh? That would really kickstart our rise and maintain it.

I know we'd never knock it back, but to me that is begging for the needle in a haystack when what we really need is a bunch more of the workmen like Ed Curnow types who can make the jobs of Walsh and Cripps much much easier. To me Ed's are much either to find than more of Walsh.

Having watched Owies and SoJ this season, I'd like another one or two of those. Imagine if Setterfield or Martin types could apply themselves like SoJ or Owies?

This time next season, BigH will hit those open targets he won't burn them.

If he keeps playing the selfish role he'll cost his team a game and team-mates will let him know, if after the feedback he keeps playing that way team-mates will then stop giving him preferential service he desires. They can't help but behave that way, it is subconscious thing all players and good KPFs have to learn.

The best forwards create as many goals for team-mates as they score.

I thought Walsh's ruckmen brother is on the Handbagger VFL list?

My bad, he's playing for Gold Coast in the VFL.

Walsh has that Lethal-like ability to impact wherever he plays. If he plays forward he'll kick a goal or assist. If he's on the wing, he'll link up better than most on our list. If he plays inside, he will win the contested footy. Just a gun.

Can we sign this guy to a 12 year deal?

If that has one iota of truth (distracted due to engagement) thats a disgrace, pi$$ or get off the pot sunshine.

Just a suggestion that may or may not contribute. Not a fact. Although the engagement is the latter.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Corralling has to be coached out of this side. Good opponents just walk away with the aggott.

This is a big one - understand it stops us from over-comitting, but it never really seems to work.  Also, makes our guys look soft, and looks like they dont want to tackle.  You lose the inspiration gained from a bone-shattering tackle.

Our lightweight list are more likely to hurt themselves than hurt an opponent, secondly we aren't overly blessed with speed and if you fail to stick a tackle you best have very good acceleration or the opponent is long long gone, so there may be very good reasons we seem to avoid heavy collisions.

Grant Thomas on Twitter :

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/carlton-blues/afl-news-2021-david-teague-press-conference-carlton-blues-poor-goalkicking-grant-thomas-twitter/news-story/c84fad2cec1a158087ca05081fa6e79a

“Carlton just have some very selfish players that are more interested in their own performance than team performance,” former St Kilda coach Grant Thomas wrote on Twitter.

“They’ve tried really hard, kicked inaccurately (because they don’t pass). Floodgates about to open big time I reckon.”

Obviously it's just one man's opinion, but the last 24 hours of his Twitter feed make for interesting reading. Sample :



Jeeeesus - did anyone listed to Grant Thomas' opinion on anything, even when he was coaching?  Now, how irrelevant is he?  Was it Caro that called him "Cornflakes" (as he had been exited from so many coaches boxes)?

H passes off inside 50 - "youve gotta go back and take responsibility and kick those".  He doesnt pass off - "he's selfish"
