The TV director was absolutely crap - so many shots of coaches and the benches and actually missed some of the live action.

Like Kempy's handball to Gov in the square.

Need to watch the whole game again, but I am so happy we beat this band of flogs. How's that bed you made Ross?? Is it comfy or a bit lumpy like the farkin lumps on your head. What about you Andrew you turd burger. We had more free kicks than you this week. Time to bitch and moan no doubt. Putrid club that's been propped up by the VFL/AFL since it's existence. Crash and burn you ferals. I only wish I could've been there. This one means more to me than any other win this year. TDK and Jack, money well spent. Nas should ask for a pay rise next year if he's to run around with these phoney's. Phew, glad I got that out of my system.
Onto next week.

Nas should farken give 1/2 back.

For the 2nd week in a row Marc Pittonet has demonstrated just how important he is to our team. Against 2 rucks rated better than him, he managed not just to hold his own, but stop his opponents from having any impact and kicking 2 goals himself.
He lost the tap count slightly, but it was the tackling and the ability to nullify his opponents, not to mention 7 clearances, that stood out.

Speaking of standing out, Frankie Evans really did. 22 possessions, 8 marks, 4 tackles and a goal was just the start. He had 14 score involvements and more yards gained than anyone else on the park.

The thing that is the real surprise to me is how competitive he is overhead, he'll out mark most players his own size, he's like a mini Hayward.

Pitto was awarded the golden fist on fox footy. First ever award (behind abs mckay 3 hours earlier) essentially as BOG but in spuds honour.

Much deserved and spoke well, again.

Good for him to get some recognition.

Hopefully that puts to be the marshall debate.
.....who incidentally i heard was going to geelong for a swap with SDK?!

Fraser is showing that rare ability, at Carlton in particular, to find where a player is best suited.

Cerra playing that quarterback type role and Franky delivery those spearing passes into the forward line for instance .Is Framky the best kick at the club?

What was a nice surprise to see was that Cripps sideways kick when going into the forward line. It shows to me that the skipper is leading the way and is listening to the coaches. We're not bombing it long to your Wilkies anymore. Fraser has found a way to stop that rubbish that crept in when we had both Charlie and Harry as targets.

We're a well drilled side now and playing to our strengths. I wont mention Wilsons field passing in the afterglow of such a pleasing win.

I saw what he was trying there (if its the kick I think). He had not much on, and was trying to bring Hayward central from the wing. His kick hooked a little, so it went right to left by a few metres, and that was why St. Kilda were able to chop it off. Degree of difficulty on it was quite high.

Besides that, Wilson generally takes on very dangerous kicks, and I would be loathe to discourage him from doing so.

Its refreshing to see us tighten up on the opposition analysis, but in game you can still see things get through ala Liam Ryan out the back of that contest at the start of the second quarter.

Personally, the biggest difference I can see, is that the boys are hunting in packs, and summing up situations better than we used to.

We suddenly have a chemistry that I have not seen for a very long time. We must be very careful not to to destroy that via our coach selection process.

Yep dont like their Pres one bit. His whining is why we now have to pay a lot for Cody. So this win against StKilda felt so bloody good. Let see what he will whinge about now. Go Blues

I thought StKilda put.in a brave effort considering the amount of injured players they had.

A quick look on Big Footy and one fan is blaming Corey Enright for their last few years. He wants us to take him and they will take Fraser lol.

Methodical, organised, balanced.

No longer reliant on a few. Used to be Cripps, Charlie or bust now we have a spread.

Credit to Ross the Toss this time. Made no excuses and said the box was very worried and obvious they had the issues before Milera broke down - he said we couldn't stop our uncontested ball use despite putting things in place.

Fraser has changed how we play and there is a full buy in. The evidence is there. He is getting the best out of the list and we now sit exactly where i thought we should. We are a mid table team and whether we make the wildcard or just fall short the list is in good shape and with a few tweaks will only get stronger. The difference in our ball use and ball movement is remarkable to see.

The pressure on TDK to perform on massive dollars and was carved up by a tough, determined plodder on a measly $400-$500K. That The boos Jack got whenever anywhere near it was unrelenting - and it was their home game!

Big money comes with big expectations - wonder if those 2 are privately having any regrets?

Agree they were on the back foot from early in the game but we are a far cry from the team they humbled in round 8, don’t reckon they would have gotten much closer if NAS played the full game as we were on from the start. Whats disappointing is we will most probably look back on 2026 as a wasted year despite this run of late form, we may not have all the pieces for a serious challenge but we are not that far away.

Ross is a master at playing the media, not suggesting he was disingenuous in his comments but he totally diffused the media pack but paying credit to us while giving a secondary nod to their injuries.
