Pros
The old pro Judd led the young pros by example.
Gibbs...have not been sold on him but I am now, along with Judd was BOG and it was his attack on the footy and the way he put his body in and took it to Chad Cornes......and by the way CHAD CORNES..YOU WERE WRONG

Murphy...played the old fashioned rovers game.....got plenty of the footy and showed super stamina.
Grigg....last quarter threw his body in and knocked the ball out which resulted in a goal.....great work and he should be a fixture in the team...reminds me a bit of Jordan Lewis.

Russell......ok game up until 3/4 time and then played his best footy for the club in the last quarter...strong and hard at the footy and took some good marks and made good decisions..

Kruezer.....overdue but glad to see Brett Ratten playing him forward and he did the business and really showed he will be a major factor in the clubs revival...

Cons...
Didnt win too many hitouts vs Lade and Brogan but Judd offset that.
Fev was silly and might cop a week...

Really sweet enjoyable win after Chad Cornes comments and nice to see Karma coming back to bite him and probably the best version of the clubs song sung by the boys I have seen and heard for ages....

Take a well deserved bow Simon Wiggins and Jordan Russell.

For those who wanted their scalps (that is for them to be de-listed) just think what would have happed today without them.

The 1st round draft picks will as expected be quality players (great last quarter from Kreuzer).

It is the 2nd and 3rd level of players that improve the team. What makes a tem competitive is that all 22 players are competitive.

The first 3 quarters were less than great but in difficult conditions, the last quarter is something to build on. The confidence this win will provide to Armfield, Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer, Wiggins, Russell and Waite is enormous.

This is 5 wins from 11 games.

Bring on the next 4 games at the G.

Simon Wiggins knocking Judd's man down was awesome. Love Judd's non-reaction...

Pros:
- The three No. 1's - Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer (outstanding games and there's the future, so get used to it)
- Judd's worth was on display in the second half - worth every cent and more
- Grigg's consistent all round game today, continuing his improvement
- Hampson battled hard and provided a contest in the ruck, another good development game for him
- Bentick's aggression at the ball two weeks in a row - he's in danger of me starting to like him, period
- Russell in the last qtr, liked his aggression (there's more, see cons)
- Armfield and the run from the back half, just superb and really belongs
- Setanta in the back half - what a rock and needs to be kept there
- T-Bird's job on Motlop was fantastic, blanketed him completely

Cons:
- Russell in the first 3 qtrs (gave away 2 goals and poor decision making)
- umpiring crap
- Dwayne Russell ought to be sacked from commentating - biased prick
- Our skills for most of the game
- Too Fevola conscious

For some silly reason, you people want to assassinate him, and it's just rubbish. You people. All of you, ALL of you!

PRO: wont have to read the bagging that some players (JR particularly)
cop on this site.

CON: if we played like that for 4 quarters we could have flogged them!!! I missed out on a $170 payout because our win wasnt big enough!!


I think this win will go a long way towards giving players self belief. A great interstate win.

Yep there it is - the JR bagging. Cant you name any others that were'nt as good in the first 3 quarters. Much easier to blame JR each week isnt it!!!!??

Pro :

1. Carlos singing the song. Hard.
2. Grigg hitting 4 players in the last to make a contest, knock it out for a goal. Hardness.
3. Gibbs all game. Hard as nails. I reckon the squib talk from a few will be taking a back burner.
4. AB all game. Seriously, people who reckon he should not be in our best 18 are kidding themselves.
5. Wiggo in the last was massive as well.
6. Verbs won't need to use his razor blade. Synbad might.

Con:

1. First 3/4 worth of skillls
2. Fev being a flower
3. The possibility JR could go for that 'hit' on the port pussy who's name I can't even be bothered remembering in the last. They were both going for the footy, shit happens, get over it.

Left wing moralists
In self serving denial

Pros:

Beating Port Adelaide
Coming from behind to beat Pt Adelaide
Beating Port Adelaide at home
Beating Mark Williams
Beating Chad Cornes
Beating Kane Cornes
7 goals to nil in last qtr
Beating....................................you know the drill
Judd
Murphy
Krooooooozer (finally played up forward)
Armfield
Grigg
Final qtr forward line set up
Never gave up
Massive boost for club from this
Russells last qtr (finally)

Cons:

Use into forward line
Kick outs
Goal kicking options
Fev's hit?
I only had ten bucks on us
Not a precentage booster

Impossible for him to cop a week for that. There was really nothing in itand the last time I said that he didn't get cited.

Have faith in that THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT!

Con : Bloke on the radio just said he would swap Murphy for Kosi? Umm excuse me, what a laugh.

They can have Ackland for Kossie and only because I'm in a good mood.

Pros

Murph - SUPERSTAR (stick Thomas and Pendlebury up your )
Judd - Well he was Judd like
Gibbs - Best game for the club
Kruezer - Boy did we make the right decision
Russell - Didn't rate you but if you tackle that hard and hit in that hard every game then you have won me.
Wiggo - The enforcer
Ratts - Well done Brett you've turned this club around (with a little help from Dick)
Grigg Santa and Waite
Well done everyone

Cons

Stevens - Came good in the last after Cornes was moved to Judd but was thrashed before that. How about you win your own ball Nick
CHF

spot on, more of it i say, if they are going to bash us around, about time we smash them back

JR...few costly mistakes but boy did he tease us with some exciting play
Murph: beauty
Bentick: had him and gibbs as our best up to 3qtr time.
Armer: ripper
KREUUUUUZe......juddy and the other usual suspects, simmo cloke, hammer, eddie,

4qtr we ran thru the CORRIDOR----looked unbelievable

CONS:

coulddnt buy a free kick

fev dropping easy chest mark once too often at the start of games... we need every opportunity we can get... he is better than that

All at Carlton are Equal, Except some are More Equal than others

..well, the first 3 quarters are a definate -con-..

..bloody hell, what a 4th quarter..!!..

..Judd still winning the most contested ball in the league, his sidekick Murph still leading for inside fitties too.. ..our rucks have a long way to go, we lag behind alot in hitouts, but usually we match, if not win our fair share of clearances.. ..once our rucks compete for hitouts we're gonna steamroll ahead.. ..another good forward option (krooz?), and we're gonna tear into some teams..

_________________
..if you can't be good, be good at it..

How much better do we look running through the corridor. daym. Almost all of our players have attacking instincts it was good to see it let loose to what was a dangerous forward line in the last.

The best thing now is that we can finally, finally put the tanking issue to sleep as we have 5 wins

How scary was it when Simpson played on when he kicked that goal to put us infront.. so much dare and courage. I was thinking just go back and take the kick.

Should've had more faith, he seems to be our man in kicking those clinch goals
