Carlton Supporters Club

We should always be on TV, we are the soap opera of the AFL, we are Days of our Blues. Ex-president in court, Coach resigns, the AFL change the Draft Rules, our Captain looks broken, we are down and out, and then we start partying like its 2023 all over again.
Despite making so many errors in throughout this game, and despite it was heart in your mouth  so many times as we rushed forward, the players kept fighting. You can follow a team that has a go.
Instead of always going long and high to the top of the goal square we came into our forward line from all angles and even though it wasn't pretty, Geelong's defence was separated, and in the end, even though they marked everything that went into our F50 until they didn't, we went long and quick to a one on one in our goal square and Cripps marked the ball, kicked the goal and we won the game.
I can't remember the last time Cripps jumped for a mark. If he starts doing that around the ground he could go to another level. Hayward,  Florent and Ainsworth have given us more depth, Cerra, Acres and Newman all made errors with ball in hand but they all stood up when it counted. McKay, Weitering, Walsh and Cripps are leading the team and now the others are following.
I look forward to seeing the likes of Moir, the Camporeales, Hok and Hof, Motlop, Chesser and O'Reilly  in the future.

Out marked J Cameron no less. He needs to do this more.

Frankie Evans played a game for the ages too.  Hes too good not to get another gig next year.

Frankie Evans played a game for the ages too.  Hes too good not to get another gig next year.

We probably judge Frank a bit harshly because we're comparing his contribution to his somewhat 'flashy' games at the end of last year.
But this year he's doing a power of work on the defensive side of things. There was a 'two on one' effort on their goal line last night that was sensational.
Watch him closely and you'll see him run from contest to contest providing pressure and also coming in as second man in tackles to make sure the ball doesn't come out and stays in the area.
While not a huge possession winner some of his passes go like "tracer bullets."
And he gets half the free kicks he actually deserves.
He goes alright, does Frankie...and it's strange to see him on 'delist' lists.

I saw that contest.  It was him vs Jeremy Cameron and I reckon the other one was another tall, and some how he halved it by just throwing his body in there.

Was match winning stuff and we were up at thr time i think with about 5 mins left.
