They had close to a full side for mine, those players missing dont make up a 76 pt deficit in my opinion.
Not really, for the last half of the last quarter they basically had no rotations, which was a contributing factor to the blow out.

But in fairness to us the damage was already done early in the 2nd half, we kept up the pressure early in the 3rd when most were expressing doubts about our ability to maintain the pressure and contain the Lions for 4-qtrs.

We had a good win. But lets not engrave our names on the cup just yet.
Lose to the saints next week and its unlikely we will play finals.

Brisbane were under manned in defense too.  They played hipwood as a defender out of necessity.   P I t Gardiner in and wonder how it changes.

Still a fantastic effort.

Bloody oath. Didn't we have blokes called Weitering and Newman missing from our backline ;) Just a bit of experience between those two.

There were a good number of times Brisvegas got on their bikes and almost got their game going... but... we didn't let them get going. We were mentally tougher. We pushed right back, and then some.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I think Brisbane are probably asking the same thing, they were good early but we were relentless. Injuries didn’t help them but they were never catching us after that 3rd quarter.

Their coach seemed to know it was coming based on his presser. They just weren't good enough on the night, it happens.
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

Nobody saw that coming,   but I think it's something that's been building into this team transformation over the last 10 - 11 weeks.    The team has been doing things and playing in a way the Voss was unable to generate.  Fraser brings a 'softer' manner, style, approach and flexibility,  the players begin to start enjoying their football again,   start to regain confidence,  play with more freedom through rejigged game plans / ball movement / move a few magnets around / blood some more youth ,  and suddenly we are seeing a group that is playing with far more confidence,  skill levels and overall team spirit.  
If Fraser can get the team to repeat this in at least 2 of the next 3 weeks then CFC will get him to sign on the dotted line.

We may have played some of the best football of the year, but we still have major structural issues which we must address. The lack of key position players, the lack of a premiership ruck, adding more leg speed ... They didn't just go away. But some guys have taken their names out of the 'delist or trade' list and have moved in the 'questionable', while some 'questionables' have moved up to being retained.
Lewis Young is a prime example. Last year we couldn't give him away, but he has played some of his best football this year. He's never going to be a Jacob Weitering, but he has stood up.
George Hewett couldn't get a game early in the year, and his last 7 or 8 weeks have been brilliant.
Nick Haynes must go around again after this season.
Frankie Evans may not be producing the same heroics he managed at the end of last year, but his hardness, his attack on the ball and his football smarts have made him a favourite.
Billy Wilson was at the crossroads, now he is set.

I could go on.
We will be improved by Cody Walker, but I will be very interested to see who else we pick up.
Live Long and Prosper!

Yes, no matter great win is, it's still one win and you have to come up the next week still.

Win next week and we go 2 games clear of the Saints.

As far as Weitering goes I would like to try him forward. Played some decent games there for a while as a skinnier kid until it become a struggle, as happens bring a Carlton forward back then. As a mature player he might be alot better again.
