CON:

Apparently Channel 7 thinks repeats of "Double Take" are more important than the footy. Knobs.

PROS:
Everything.
Ratts.
We won, convincingly.

Only con I can think of is poor kicking for goal. Oh, and that we only play like this against teams we're expected to lose to, going for careful footy against teams far worse than us.

Pros
Great win but special mention to the much maligned players below:
Jordan Russell - did some wonderful work, great marks, tough at the contest and had the confidence to run and take them on! Well done lad!
Richard Hadley - some of his inside work was fantastic, especially when the game was there to win in the last quarter.
Brett Thornton - have been critical of him in the past but has had a fantastic last couple of games, a real leader there tonight.
Stevo did what he had to do and was hard at it.
Scotto - much better, could be coming in for some good form, we need him firing.
And...
AJ. Now how good is the lad from the Tassie west coast going to be? AJ's goal in the last quarter was gem!
Ratts had a good night in the box.

Cons
Foot skills - yikes!
Fev's inaccuracy.
Not much else!

Go Blues!

Pros

Loved all the boys tonight - really lifted against quality opposition. So pleased to see them tackle and harrass the they did.

Cons

Zip although I will say, kicking to Eddie when he is being manned up by Harley ain't clever.

Pros:

4 quarter pressure - who would have thought that could lead to a win?
Russell - best game for Carlton
Joseph - eat it Ablett
Everyone else (almost)

PROS

-Simpson
-Hadley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When he's on, BOY is he on !!!!!!!!!!
-Murphy
-Judd
-Kreuzer
-Setanta: still the crazy bumbling Irishman, but made things happen
-Robinson: Doesn't always keep possession, but goes in hard
-Hampson: Finally dominated, although maybe said more about how crap their rucks were tonight. still, good effort
-Bower: Fist Fist Fist!!!
-Stevens
-AJ !!!!!!
-Gibbs
-Wiggins: Came in while out of form, and while he had an average match skill-wise, was able to organize the team a lot when the chips were down = leadership!
-kick-ins were (slightly) improved.... but I dodn't think the Cats were pressuring us as hard as they should have been
-Thornton: Still the same old stuff ups, but less of them, and many more marks
-Defended comfortably without Waite OR Jammo !!!

CONS
-Fev: still not kicking as well as he could
-The team still kicks to Eddie on the lead as if they are kicking to someone of Kreuzer's height
-Handballs still being sprayed
-Armfield: tries so damn hard, and does effect good pressure, but still doesn't quite look like a competent AFL player


But really, each of the Pros was worth TEN times as much as each con

WHAT A GREAT MATCH
LET'S PLAY LIKE THAT EVERY WEEK !!!!!!!!!!!
