Impressive, North were terrible but we did what we needed to do against terrible opposition...finally.
Many contributors, George, TDK, Cerra, Weiters and the Fwd line were huge. I absolutely loved the 4qtr gang tacking and pressure on the ball carrier...finally.  Ill have to look back at the records to see when we last kicked 24.9, off the cuff I said to a mate 1995 but Ill check.
It can only be described as clinical, more of the please Blues.

Yep
North were very poor today and we beat them pretty much like a 'good' side should.
Maybe we're not so 'bad' after all.
One step in the direction Lods, we need to build on consistancy.

Still worried we are flat track bullies.

I suppose that is better than the alternative where we aren't even that.

Re the 30-30-210
It was the league record at the time.

I remember one of the newspapers at the time reporting it as..
"The day the Blues went wild and kicked a cricket score" ;)

I hear you. I am not celebrating too hard but reality is we won very well, like we should’ve!

Thing is, if after half time had they come out and kicked a few, how confident would any of us been that we’d go on with it? I was even nervous when they kicked the first 2 of the 4th.

Against a top side, a 20pt lead at halftime means nothing.

Small forwards today were incredible.

Play like that every week, against every opponent, you mightn't win every game by 80 pts but I reckon you'll win more than you lose.

Motlop with 8 tackles and 28 pressure acts was enormous.
Probably his most effective game. His goals were mainly after the game was won, but his chasing and tackling were huge. Loved every bit of it.

Percentage 122.1%.
If we could win more regularly, this could be a serious positive! Only 5 teams with better percentages and they are all in the 8.
Live Long and Prosper!

A couple of players finding some form at last. Cerra, Acres, Charlie. ZW is the fwd line general we need. Great efforts from blue collar players:
Cottrell - freakish kick across the body
SoS
Young did some nice things off the ball

Small fwds - fearless, ferocious, efficient

Great attack by the youngsters- White, Carroll, Lord. Good to see a bit of shepherding
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

If only Youngy could play like that every week and regain some of that 1st year with us form. The big fella threw his weight around a bit, laid some blokes for Zaccy, did some some nice things. Disposal is a worry though.

Not so much today, but more generally...

I'd actually love to see him move the ball on a little quicker.
I think he's a bit 'gun-shy' because of past mistakes and takes  a moment to 'think' about his options rather than keeping the play moving....and then finds himself rushed and in trouble.
Often it's a momentum killer in an attacking move.

Top win, nice to see us put the foot on the throat when we had the chance.

When North kicked the first couple of the last quarter, I thought we were going to coast to a 30-point win in typical style.  

Apparently not.  

That is what ruthless teams do.

I really like Will White.  Works super hard and is no slouch in the one-on-ones.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
