Time for the celebrations. I didn't expect us to win, but in the end we had a lot more scoring shots. If only we could kick straight!
Live Long and Prosper!

Kemp back to the backline? 1.5
Derksen forward?

If only Kemp could kick straight. Obviously doing well in some respects but can't be kicking at goal like he is.

Not bad from crap list with holes everywhere.

Sorry couldnt help myself.

Had some crapfull umpiring atrocious kicking for goal, played them on their home patch had them them claw back a 5 goal lead and still ran over them.

And played a bunch of kids on a very talented forward line without Weitering.

Amazing the difference when players have a system they can clearly see works and all buy in, they all know there role,  cover for one another and play as a team.

Fraser is making the coaching decision harder as each win is notched.

Scotch time 🤓

5 in a row. Sweeeet.

Those foundations that Voss laid are rock solid.

Not the best game of footy, but a wonderful effort and well done to all concerned.

A couple of observations:
Saad and Williams are purely break glass in case of emergency.
Never underestimate the influence of Newman or the work ethic of Acres.
Derksen is a more than adequate backup as a key defender.
Harry Dean will push Jagga for the Rising Star..... and that's saying something. (The only time Cadman threatened was when Dean was off.)
Our 3 imports took a number of weeks to find their place, but they are now adding a new dimension to the team, including a bit of 'extrovertivness'which we lacked before.
Harry loves being second ruck.
A fit Sam Walsh is a dangerous Sam Walsh.
Take on Byrne at your own peril.
Mc Govern is still a valuable swingman.
The captain obviously doesn't like it when people doubt him!

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

Something that Fraser backed up, yet again, in the pre-match interview.

For the second week in a row we won without playing great.
Both weeks we've played worse than we did against Brisbane, but the difference in opposition talent/performance made the difference.

Still need to work on our kicking, both inside 50 and at goal.

It will cost us a game, again, unless we clean that up. I thought from the 3rd to halfway through the 4th it was as bad as its been all year.

Just need to keep the pressure up and results will continue.
Still got to target some decent tall forwards in the up coming trade and draft period.
Kemp at 1.5 needs to get comfortable in front of goal.
Harry is better off playing up the ground and being 2nd ruck.
Gov is a good swingman but not a long term option.

Besides an underperforming HOK, we don't have any other options. Need to fill this hole this off-season as a priority.

Voss couldnt lose in some of your eyes.

If there was no or even little improvement to the horrible W/L, we would have heard ‘see its the weak horrible list and nothing to do with the coach’

Yet we change coaches to an untried interim coach and break a record in the process by winning 5 zip and ‘its on the back of Voss ground work’

You get much more credibility to just admit the change in coach has made a huge difference rather then doubling down with every win as with each win the evidence that Voss was not the right man is further enhanced.

Have you not heard Fraser, repeatedly, as well as Jagga, Crippa etc etc etc say the exact same thing.
We are just working on the foundations that Voss built. We haven't changed much. The tide had turned under Voss already we just weren't getting the reward.

But sure, you know better than the 'genius coach' himself.
