It would have been a great day for you and your kids.
There is not much better than seeing your team win like that with passionate Carlton
supporters in close attendance and we have been down for so long.
I have supported Carlton for 50 years and it may surprise a few here but I still want them to win.
My beef with the club is it hasn’t changed with the changes at AFL level and we have paid the price for that and as you get older you do see the world differently and in perspective more clearly.
You hope you do. The body gets older but you get a bit smarter .
No doubt it was a great win and I was happy, but not delirious about it.
Cripps played one the best game I have seen by an individual for a while
He basically dragged us over the line
Walsh is an amazing talent for a 19 year old
Gibbons was the most individual pleasing aspect of the game.He is a really good footballer and says a lot about the importance of recruiting.
However there are still many players who disappointed me yesterday and some are not up to AFL standard. We still recruit too many of them even if they where the navy blue logo.
Some have talent but don’t go in hard enough
Let’s not forget that Simpson our most consistent player over the last 10 years
will probably not be there next year
We really need DeKoning to become that mobile ruckman we desperately need over
the next decade.
Murphy has one year to go on his contract but he has been largely ineffective lately
We must recruit and list manage better.
I believe our last 2 drafts and trades have been poor and despite yesterday’s win I’m not
sold on Mc Govern or Setterfield who we gave up so much for.
The club has stated that it wants to win a flag in 5 years
Great to talk like that and it can happen but we would need to cut half the list again and
recruit better
IMO your bottom 6 players win you the flag on the day
You need a list of 35 players who are of AFL standard to cover for injuries
I want a 17 th flag just like you and everyone else who supports Carlton.
You can’t have that if you have a couple of blokes like Cripps and Walsh getting you
over the line
Anyway a good win yesterday and I hope the guys put in a good effort
when I see them in the flesh over in the West in a couple of weeks

Most of us felt relief as the overriding emotion. Far from delirious
Just a good solid happy and relieved for us and the club. Gonna take awhile for trust to come back.
Most of us are also aware of some improvements that need to happen.
It's a shame you can't let that bit go for just a day or two. Oh well. Your brain. Your call.
relief is good......
