Yep... 8 goals in qtr... lost the other 3

Good signs from Dow, Stocker and SPS

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

At least we won but
How about lack of composure kicking for goal in the last quarter
Fogarty SPS H Owies must nail those shots
One goal would have broken their back
Walsh outstanding Jones Saad good
Kennedy and Dow good and Dow needs to play every week .
TDK also needs to play every week
Murphy no more isn’t fit and can’t put on pressure

Why wasn’t Ed playing on Laird from the start
SPS better
Martin and Williams better but Martin must also nail those shots
Shocking start again and thank goodness crows were off line in kicking

Would have been a decent size win if we kicked properly at goal in the last qtr.

0.6 start by them but

to all you Jones doubters*, the MMM box awarded him the 3 votes today. End Of.

* putting it politely

Take the win but a lot of work to be done
We still have no idea how to step on the throat of a team. No goals in the last quarter. The win was much the same as vs Hawks and Suns.
Still a lot better than the alternative
Walsh outstanding as was Jones
Weitering also very solid
Dow and Kennedy need to keep playing - both showed enough
Saad also good
Take the win but a lot of work to be done

Not whether we win or lose, it’s how we go about it.

Not convincing, same old issues.

“Honourable” win?

That's not our problem. We just control what we have to do.

Second quarter was nice.
Poor kicking in the last made it closer than it should have been.
I've never been a huge fan of Dow but I thought he was good today.

I know it's only a win against another poor side, but compared to the last few weeks we looked far better and like we were playing for each other.

yeah all true but this was a second half to give our defenders confidence they can stand up under pressure second qtr shows the entire team if the opposition disrespect us we can hurt them badly. is a work in progress to be able to do it under the heat of a top team that wont do that. it's almost like the gods were being kind to our entire club in the second. I for one will take it.

I think we showed more composure.

Dow probably best game.

Stocker probably best game.

Williams really good.

Walsh = Walsh.

Kennedy saving his career.

Plowman very important to all those who think we’d be better off without him.

Jones ditto.

Still didn’t tackle enough.

Did seem more of a team ethos and we didn’t allow the easy turn overs as much as we have, though probably helps playing a worse side.

We didn’t get reward for effort in the 1st quarter but we got it in the 2nd.

Crows overran the Saints in a similar situation, I still think we did well to win.

Won playing 15 minutes of football
Crows are 1.5 years into a rebuild
Carlton are 5.5 years into a rebuild

A win isn’t necessarily a win if you know what I mean
Where is Carlton plan for the future
Will there be one after this review
Positives I thought DeKoning was really good
O’Brien is no mug
Stocker very good
Owies is a smart footballer
Still want to see Ramsay Honey and Carroll before the years out
And Charlie

Kennedy has added some much needed hardness to our midfield and Dow is growing in confidence - glad to see him crack the magic 20 possessions today. Stocker looks the goods and I hope he can develop a tank to play midfield.
SPS played with more intent however still needs to do more.
Fogarty really needs to improve his kicking for goal to justify his spot in the side.
I was happy with our rucking today and don't think me missed Pittonet.

one of the best things might be that Kennedy, SBS, Dow all spent decent project time in reserves to work on middle-field skill set and it shows (Setters too in his week back before injury at training). Kennedy was playing well for many weeks before they put him back in the team in a newish role.
takes the pressure of Cripps and Walsh and so Cripps gets into it in the second not having to do everything and cuts losoe for first time this season.

gives me confidence some of the coaches know what to do to develop third and second tier players. maybe it's time Martin spent some time in reserves? he certainly has only just started showing a bit since coming into the team from injury. still think the coaches game plans and ability to move players around to counter opposition tactics and momentum is less than what Parkin/Britten were capable of decades ago.

Teague was 5 minutes away from being sacked tomorrow morning
