Interesting to hear Voss answer a question about the small forwards kicking goals today, with an extra statement about the job Orazio is doing.

Good, old fashioned 1980s Carlton that one. Sat in 3rd gear, half effort, treated the opposition with contempt then just opened up when we felt like it and killed them.

Small forwards kicking goals, who would have thought. Thought we'd win by ten goals and we did. On that basis it was a par result. Richmond had a red hot go and they were smashed pretty easily. Need to keep turning up and delivering. The opposition can't just sit on Cripps and Charlie. There is nothing like a boring ten goals win over the Tigers.

Must admit, I was worried when TDK went out, Nankervis is a tough gig and Pitto was coming in from the cold, but Pitto did OK.

Like Gawn when Nankervis is fit, he needs to be double teamed because he plays like another Mid as well as winning taps.

Interesting to see if Boyd gets cited.  Front on but opponent clearly ducked and wasn't hurt.  Then again, Boyd isn't president of the AFLPA.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

For me  the most plessing thing is the way the load is being shared at the moment as the players realise that something special is building and they don't want to miss out. We are starting to get competition for spots in the team so passengers will not survive.
Crippa's form is a direct result of this I believe.
He knows he doesn't have to carry the load by himself anymore and IMO he is playing the best footy of his career.
Finally, resting TDK (forget the soreness spin) was a smart move. Bottom 2 opposition with a big framed ruckman on a wet day - made for Pitto. Big tick to MC.

The second quarter was atrocious, we got a few up and then put the cue in the rack, they got a sniff and took it up to us.

Thank god they flicked the switch in the third, after Ess, Coll & Syd getting rolled, the door was wide open for us on the ladder. Now we are 6 points clear of 3rd and only 2 games from top so we have some buffers either side of us.

2nd place may be the right spot to finish this year.

I didn't like Pittonet's game but he did have a strong last quarter. Fantasia, who is one of my whipping boys, bobbed up with 4 good goals but that is his job so its not like he went above and beyond.

A lot of our B-Graders were excellent today, they weren't afraid to get their hands dirty regardless of the potential harm that may come their way. 

FFS, can someone brainwash Curnow so he can perform some second efforts, it was embarrassing at times.

I got really angry with the umpiring when Kotzichke took an overheard mark and goaled. Weitering was held out of the marking contest twice by Taranto, it was so obvious that one of the commentators made mention of it too.

Winning form is good form so there isn't a lot to complain about really.

Thought Nankervis played well and controlled the ruck duals, Pittonet was handy and tried but its a tough bar to reach when comparing him to TDK and it was probably a good game to rest him in given the Tigers mids are ok on paper but in reality have been ordinary this season and even with a winning ruck were unable to have much impact.
Miller played well on Charlie plus teams like the Tigers are throwing men behind the ball and clogging up the leading laneways making it a ugly game hoping to blunt our two key forwards.
Agree our B graders did well and reminded me of how Collingwood played last season and spread the workload amongst their forwards rather than relying on a couple of players only kicking big bags.

Had a quick look at some replays, very impressed with Owies hitting the base of packs at pace, this is what some competition for spots can bring. Fogarty was terrific, and Williams brings some physicality.

Fantasia finally became an AFL player again after months of doubt.

When we weren't playing all that well, McGovern and Newman held us together nicely, really worked hard and blunted many Nthmond attacks.

After 1/2-time, Cripps and Walsh went to another level, Cripps at his best is indescribable, there are no words for it and it has to be seen to be believed.

Anyone who thinks Cripps isn't already right up there with Judd, Kouta, Diesel, Bradley, etc., etc.,



Always remember, CheatsFC laughed at Carlton drafting "The Fat Kid!"

Need to be reminded that TDK is 24 - although he is getting battle hardened he is probably still three years away from his body sustaining a full season without help.
Pitto did okay - can't compare him to TDK not best rucks in the league but doing the basics he was 75% good. 1 tackle and 2 clearances for the game is abit soft.
TDK is rop 10 in the league for score launches so a very high bar to reach I guess.
