It wasn't just that we fought back so well in the second half, it was the team play and the way we moved the ball that was impressive.   Top stuff, gives hope that some good wins could come later.

I thought Nic Newman was the only shining light in the first half, you could tell by his desperation coupled with his facial expressions that he really really cared. Played a desperate stingy defender's game that set the platform for others to follow.

I don't quite know what to feel ... I guess I mostly feel empty. To show so much in the second half and still come away empty handed ...

Was it all for nothing?

Our structural problems are still there, no matter how much heart some of our players showed, The ruck rules crucified us again: when both rucks step over the line, why is it that ours don't get the free?

Patrick Cripps: you stood up today. Still got issues, but 32 possessions, 9 clearances, 5 tackles and a goal is a huge improvement from last week.

When has another team kept harris Andrews to 5 disposals?

Great to see glimpses of form for all of Hayward, McKay, Cerra, Smith, Cripps, Walsh, Cowan, McGovern and Ainsworth & continued great form from Carroll/Newman. And, whilst I’m not a fan of either, Hollands & Pitto also lifted.

Weitering was ok, as was Hewett and I’d stick with Wilson.

Williams, Saad, Evans ……work to do and Kemp’s kicking? Nothing publishable to say.

Genuine question .........

When was the last time McKay played like he did in that second half ??

He led into space, he took one grab marks and then best of all, he stayed away from the kick across the body in favour of the traditional version ........ and guess what, it looked much better and worked much better.

I still think he is on the way out but his potential trade price got a nice shot in the arm tonight.

Dogs have just beaten Port in a thriller ......... they will be a tough assignment next week, anything less than the second half effort we showed tonight and it may not be a pleasant result for us.

I was reading a piece on Robert Louis Stevenson earlier tonight.
He wrote a book about Carlton's 2026 season.
"Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" :D

'Turning point' or an 'abberation.'
A 'one off' or a 'new beginning.'

.The important thing is that we don't drop back and produce some insipid performance next week.
Consistency and four quarter effort and the results will come.
And the players, and Voss can make it just that little bit harder for the decision makers.

Looks like we've picked up a few injuries...Walsh, Florent and Williams.

Walsh looks like a foot injury...not good.
He had a foot injury last year that kept him out for an extended period

Bugger, Walsh was working into the season. I don't think we'll miss Williams too much, and Jagga can get more on ball time.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Williams no great loss, he looks cooked
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

That maggot John Ralph trying to run the MRO agenda and get Newman and Walsh suspended, for dangerous tackle on Fletcher and jumper punch on the younger Ashcroft respectively. Saw this on Kayo.

Weitering is a liability against a forward who can lead.

Hewitt wasn't much chop playing as a defensive midfielder in the first half but he uses the ball better than our other midfielders.
