The chain of possessions in that resulted in Zac's goal was like watching a glimpse of '23 all over again.... Sort of exemplified the day with players continually running past, shorter but pinpoint kicks, and not blazing away but finding a team mate in a better position.
But my question is "where has this been all year?", they even got a standing ovation from the Carltonian section at half time.

a lot of stuff (handballs, knock ons, short chip kicks etc) out the front of the pack or to a guy running past.  whereas, this year has been a lot of handballing to blokes standing still, or backwards.  makes a big difference

Pleasing to see us put together close to 4q. We look so much better with Walsh back. I hope there's no truth to the trade rumours.

H was unstoppable, even showed a bit of attitude after marking v Byrne-Jones.

All the kids keep showing glimpses. Big HOK was impressive. Love his simple goalkicking style. Thats definitely something others could improve. Going early here. Lord is our next Crippa. His decision making is beyond his years IMO.

Despite another dead end season, there is a little glimmer of hope for the future. I just hope we rebound quickly after the ps changes settle.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
Henry Ford.

I honestly think far more than a glimmer......

The competition is more even than ever now, and it only takes a bit of luck on the injury front and some developing and enthusiastic young players to give us a mega boost.  If the older guys buy in to that youthful enthusiasm, they'll grow an extra leg as well.  Harry discovered that at the weekend.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

We haven't seen Jagga yet who promises to be a real excitement machine who's body probably needed the extra year away from being bashed in the AFL. It could be exciting times ahead, I wish we were playing Collingwood on thursday night.
