Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 20: Carlton vs St Kilda

We are on TV. We are on Friday Night. We have lots of injuries and we were terrible last week. This is the usual formula for a shocking loss.

Won 4 out of the last 6, played well enough against Geelong, goal kicking lost it or at least stopped it being a cliff hanger, just the absolute shocker against North.

Win next week against Gold Coast here in Melbourne and we are either 8th or 9th barring turn ups. Just a pity we got to Adelaide to play Port the week after.

Now if we hadn't fk'ed up last week.........

If we get to 10 wins, finals or not, i'll live with that, especially after being 4-9. Just would show where we should be if we could played motivated footy most weeks. It'd be a "what might've been".

I didn't think we could do it. But, did we win it? We killed them! You beauty!

We've improved on last year! So far we have won 42.1% of our games this year, compared to 41.1% last year....lol.

Win last week and we would have been sitting in the 8. Does make last week even more disappointing. No point worrying about it now.

Jack Silvagni deserves a bloody medal for not only sticking to his assigned ruck task, especially after TDK went down, but his follow up efforts were terrific.

He got a bath in terms of the hitouts but it would be interesting to see how many of those were negated by his second efforts.

We won't win next week with Jack in the ruck, but has he stepped up! Brilliant effort from a guy who is at least 10 cm too small for his role!

Does anyone expect any different?

Nonetheless, it's makes it even more clear that DT and crew shat themselves in selections against North.

Terrific win, but....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

He does! He has really found something this year. We lost the hitouts 69-12 but only the clearance 39-36, so JSOS must have competed well to at least nullify in the ruck.

The Aints were weak as piss, almost their whole team was disposing at less than 50% in the first half.

That my friends is the definition of folding under pressure, a massive choke!

Shat themselves in selections????

We had no talls to choose from. What did you expect to happen?

Nobody in the media has cited the fact we went in without any recognised key forwards last week.....but thats because nobody actually looks at our games....or our injury list.

You, and us, should know better though.

Should win against the Gold Coast in Melbourne. Reckon Mirkov might be getting a run next week now his knee has recovered.

Solid performance. Our best for the year.  Beat a decent outfit who we generally struggle against while losing our only ruckman for majority of the match. Really impressive win imo because of the contribution from some of the lesser lights in Dow, Honey, Williamson, Jack and can’t believe I’m saying this but even LOB.
Jack in another typical all heart performance - smart player who gives everything everytime, does the job week in and week out. Very underrated imo.
Walsh is surely AA - will finish top 3 in Brownlow.

About to sit back and have a rum. One happy blue boy.

 Or McGovern, I believe he is playing VFL tomorrow.
