Fantastic gutsy win.
But not good for the ticker !
That was as hard on the ticker as the two finals wins and they were murderous.

We have just leapfrogged Port on the ladder....who thanks to the bye will be a game behind and chance to catch up in a couple week when we have our bye.

Right now, 6pts off a wildcard. Sides to play still. We have Essendon, GWS, WC here, and Richmond to come the next 4 games.

Odds before the game for the flag was 251-1.
Now 151-1.

What a game! How impressive are these young kids!!!  The commitment ti create contest time and again - bloody bravo 👏🏽

Walsh and Jagga really impressed - Cowan is just so important for us, the composure in the last 5 mins - it felt different, they didn’t crap themselves.

You could see the happiness and heads back in rhe game for our old guys!

And P Cripps take a bow - what a mark, what a kick - what a CARLTON LEGEND 🙌

Did not go, wish I had of now. The feeling at the ground would of been unreal.
I imagine like the win against Melbourne in the 2nd semi to get into the PF in 2023.
Patrick Cripps you are a legend.
Go blues.

Pittonet - 26 hitouts - 10 to advantage.  That is beyond elite.

I think he and Harry as a ruck duo is the best option for this team going forward.
Frees up Harry and gets him into the game more.
Harrys best 4 games have been the last 4 games where he has been backup ruck.

Midfield benefitted from both tonight.

Great Win.      I think this just reinforces though what I, and some others,  have been saying for a few months now.
1.    Voss can't coach
2.    Voss had lost a large portion of the playing group  -  they didn't want to play for him,  the effort just wasn't there.

3/3  since his departure says a lot about that,  GW and co are probably now regretting the decision to let him continue into this year.

This win over one of the flag fancies just shows what our group is capable of once their heart is back in it.

Stats king Daniel Hoyne :
Carlton has been building to this for several weeks

Every Carlton player interviewed since that Voss left, which includes but not limited to Smith, Cripps and Walsh :
Carlton has been building to this for several weeks

Interim coach Fraser : Carlton has been building to this for several weeks

Listening to the ABC broadcast and they said that Carlton kept their shape and composer and did not allow Geelong the space that they like. I have not seen the game yet so would like a rundown of what they did well and how the game plan has changed or what is been executed better under Josh since he took over?

In a word.....pressure.

Players were running contest to contest. Didn't allow Geelong time to breathe.

Geelong were doing the normal 15m chip kicks to free players, the second they took the mark, there was a bloke there.
Normally, they'd be trailing and casually coming to the mark.
We didn't give them any time or space. As a result, they made more mistakes than they may have otherwise....some under very little pressure, but because we were constantly up in their face, they expected it and were rushed.

Cowan playing on Jezza Cameron all game was something nobody was expecting, while Jezza still kicked 3-4, Cowan won plenty of contests and allowed us to free up Weitering a bit more.

But overall, it was simply pressure.
