Carlton Supporters Club

Stocker’s hit on Mihocek topped off a great last quarter, he’s had it easy against us as have many others in the past, made a real statement. Respect to SOJ and Sergio, never saws him play but you know from the way he is remembered that he epitomised playing for the club.

How much did we miss Jones last week?!?

Fans (me anyway) criticise Plowman because he lopes when he should run, makes dumb decisions regularly and costs the team energy sapping goals. Not many say he never does anything good and that he deserves zero credit for anything but he needs to sort out what's going on between his ears because his panic attacks cost us goals and more importantly impact on all of the younger players around him.

Not to say he doesn't get some tough jobs and holds some good small forwards on occasion.

His good may or may not outweigh his bad but we need to set our sights higher as a club than blokes who get aren't ALWAYS bad. We need elite calm decision makers - especially in defence.

Fun fact of the day....

Jack Silvagni was our =5th tallest player today, listed at 191cm. (Jones, Weitering, TDK, Harry)
Lachie Plowman is the same height (although some suggest he is 193cm), and is asked to play on the Eddie Betts' types.

2 blokes, same height.....asked to play on the tallest and smallest of opposition.

Jack gets credit for playing ruck and punching above his weight......which he should.
Plowman gets chastised routinely because the smaller types give him a hard time. - Fair is fair. Give the bloke some credit.

Jack is still taller than Big Nick!

Walsh heat map. I kid you not...haha. That's sticking it up the Pies!

He was obviously enjoying himself while cutting up the Pies...lol.

He sure was hard at it, be stiff not to get 3 Brownlow votes. 

I don't get the Plowman hate, we missed him terribly when he was so unjustly treated by the MRP and Tribunal.

He helps deliver structure and dependability to the D50, I suspect in terms of defence he is probably the 3rd picked behind Weiters and Jones. He is never going to be a Weiters or Jones, and he is not a Saad or Williams, so he gets all the unfashionable jobs you do not want the others stuck with. But he'd still be 3rd picked.

Harry then daylight.

Betts plays on. Great season. Still has the gift.

Owies showing hard work and perseverance still have a place.

Levi - gone.

Lacking a 2nd (Charlie) and 3rd tall (Guv).

Martin has had a poor season  - carrying a serious niggle you would have to think?

Same here LP.  He is a vital part of our defensive structure.

As a matter of interest, how many goals were scored by his direct opponent(s) today and how many score assists did they have?  I can't think of any.

He sure was hard at it, be stiff not to get 3 Brownlow votes.
