I reckon sides think we're soft too Shawny, too many dish it out against our mob without any comebacks.  Lynch has been a school yard bully to us for years...fancy some young no name punk  like Faull thinking he could gut punch Weitering off the ball without any fear. We are too nice playing a gladiatorial sport.

We might not be equipped to deal with it now but give Harry Dean a year or two and anyone that wants to pull that crap will be looked after.

It is an issue, that presently we have lot of light bodies especially amongst our younger group. Some of them, because of their body type may never be giants, but a few years in the gym under a good strength and conditioning program can make a difference to their ability to make and break tackles.

That makes it even worse.  Punk should have been dropped like a cheap suit....protect your mates. But hasn't been the clubs modus operandi for a very long time, has it?

“If you’re going to give it to me, I’ll give it back - it’s straightforward like that,” Dean told Fox Footy after the Blues’ four-point win against Richmond on Thursday night.

Dean got physical with Richmond spearhead Tom Lynch - who’s not one to shy away from some push and shove - throughout the evening.

“You’re not gonna cop it; obviously, you’re going to give some back and show that you’re not here to be pushed around,” Dean added.

Never been more disappointed after a win

Young, Hollands x2 and Fogarty are genuinely VFL at best. We lack run, power and polish


Yep, felt more like a loss!!!

Hard to fly the flag for your teammate when its so far off the ball everyone else is watching the play. The dirty snipper should get a week

A feature of the Carlton footy club has become making the easy look difficult. 

Agree on that.

Positives:
Cripps: 32 possessions, 9 clearances, 3 tackles. Must be BOG

Would have been if he could kick for goal - still woeful after all these years
If I hear one more person call for Cripps to spend more time fwd I'll spew up. He cant kick, he's never been able to kick and never will know how to kick. That's the difference between him and Bont.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Anyone watch half time on Kayo where Cripps had a segment showing them how he breaks tackles?

Great insight for his fans and future opponents.

Older game but this guy pin points our problem.

I don't mind the analysis, but I think he is over simplifying what we see vs dont see.

Sure, we are utilising forward handball, and being proactive.  I dont think we are stopping this strategy, I think it stops working the same, because our opponents are doing something to one stop the run and then two, keep us in the contest, or clear from being able to run.

Richmond players last night were preventing our tackled players from getting up and contributing to the next chain of handballs which stops the run. Its like we just get held down, and thats it, hes out of the next chain, and after doing that, they get up and run off as soon as posession flips, and we are getting cut up outside corridor.  Inside its fine, but teams just arent using the corridor, and setting up for long kicks.

When the game was hot last night, we were kicking long to contests, and I noted a couple of opportunities where we probably should have looked to open up the fat side of the ground, but our team was staying compact.  A deliberate tactic probably to prevent the opposition from opening us up, but when we have the ball in hand, sometimes after playing one mode for a bit, you need to change up and switch to more open play.  the opposition wont expect it, but it requires a bit of nous and comms. 

Sounds like a plan B!!!

Dean is a real old fashioned footballer well taught by his father and every club needs his type to build around.
Lynch is a thug and must have got the shock of his life when Dean sat him on his backside. Faull should get a week or two and should have been dealt with at the time.
