Credit to the coaches box for adjusting and stopping their run after half time.
Our half forwards and mids with very good pressure meaning they could not move it quickly through the corridor and hit the leading forward like they were in the first 2 quarters
Happy for TDK after half time. Gave us first use on many occasions.
Kennedy is a bonafide AFL player. I love his ability to to take important contested marks. Walsh great, JSOS with a specky.
Best game from Martin since his return from injury. He got the ball rolling with his pressure tackling late in the second term. He just looked up and about.
Stocker showing growth in his game. Nice goal from half back. Nice hit at the end.
Dow showing signs of confidence. Not afraid to back himself and buy himself the extra few seconds.
Plenty of positives tonight.

Interested in Walsh's views on bone vibration.

I was looking forward to seeing this team without Cripps in the midfield.
Both captains out, and ladies and gentleman we have leadership to run the ship.
Weitering Walsh thoughout. Harry in the last.
The spirit of Serge through Jack. Felt it from my screen.

Walsh will be better than robert Harvey. May win 3 Brownlows.
Walsh just runs and runs and tackles and hits and doesnt stop, and runs faster than Harvey. My take.

Dow's first quarter showed what he can do. Needs another preseason to add to his newfound belief.
Heaps of improvement left in him.

Kennedy is lighter and hits harder. I like his intensity and desperation.

Tom DeKoning has a few more years of development to go, but by jesus this kid competes.
His 3rd quarter was huge against one of the best 3 rucks in the comp.
Jacks ruck work in the last, not to be ignored. Seriously smart ruckwork against the best in the AFL.

Saad is a machine. Great 4 quarter effort.
Williams intercept marking was seriously unbelievable, and a staple in our win.
Good to see Martin going hard, but HAS TO nail his easy set shots for the player he is suppose to be.

FMD, Stocker is hard as nails and how old is he again? 20yo. FMD look at those guns. Can kick a ball.

Betts can't retire. The only forward who goes hard at it 4 quarters, week in week out, and I know some game isn't rewqarded.
Betts has to go again next year. He's what we need in Finals.

Weitering undefeated as captain. Says it all.

The rest played a role tonight.
Like I said Owies has to nail shots at goal or else.

Charlie will cause chaos for opp defences with Harry and Jack.
Cripps can allow more minutes to younger brigade.
Gov will find it hard to get a spot in the first 22.

The F word is on the tip of my tongue.
North is next for 4 wins out of 5 games.

Blue Skies.

Well said Serge, I mean Mickstar.

For me it was all about Serge, one of my childhood heroes.
The boys stood up.

Anyone else well up when the kid was struggling after the game?
What it’s all about … and reminds us why we love this *#*+.?!€*}#!! club, despite what we’ve been through the past 20 years.
We’ve got history most other clubs can only dream of.

Thanks boys.

Teague was highly rated in the jobs he has had. McGovern is on record saying the reason he come to Carlton was because he was so impressed by Teague at Adelaide. Teague was an assistant to Bolton here at the time. Certainly rated at the Eagles too. Even when he started back in 2009 he took the Bullants to consecutive Grand Finals with some terrific coaching with pretty ordinary sides. He was in demand as an assistant after that. He'd certainly performed better than any other coach bar Ratten here this century. Low bar admittedly. If he coached a side with a much better culture than ours, who had a bit more drive to succeed, I reckon he does pretty well. Tough to get a system to work if the players don't work hard enough. Think our last 20 years have shown that. Bad cultures murder coaches.

Oh yeah. Did you see freo against geelong. That’s worse than anything we dished up this year. I could cite dozens of other examples including upset defeats to top 4 sides. You’re too emotional, like so many on this forum. so don’t pretend you can analyse the game talking out your hat.

Is that heat map actually true or has that been doctored? That's hilarious

Yeah seems to be true. Dow, Kennedy and stoker been doing some VFL development work has delivered in spades. So it’s not just giving them runs, it was rounding out their overall game so they weren’t too much of a liability with full minutes in the middle. Anyhow we are all enjoying the fruits of hard work, chance injuries and apparently food development coaches at Carlton (which many of us feared didn’t exist).

I look forward to the other underperforming talents like Setters and a few others to turn their year around in the twos and come back ready for the pace and stress-testing levels of pressure required for AFL. Especially after another full preseason. Someone suggested the Walsh magic is rubbing off. Well, possibly and that’s how winning cultures evolve.

True according to afl.com.au

Terrible start to the game once again but I'm glad the boys dug deep for Jack and Serge.
Jack is a smart footballer and is really an integral part of our team, good game son.
This game was a must win for the man that started 3 generations (so far) of quality footballers for our club.
I'm glad Weitering was able to win his first game as Captain, he and Jones were solid down back.
The big difference for me was not having Cripps in the middle on one leg and having the coaches forced to play the kids that were drafted/traded to play in the middle actually in the middle all game. They all stepped up and didn't disappoint, we actually had the resemblance of a midfield that can win clearances and hit targets with those clearances.
Geez Walsh is a superstar in the making, gotta love what he does.
Kennedy played a great game also and his mates DOW and SPS are starting to look the goods again after 2 years of being left in the wilderness by our coaches.
Stocker is just a tough nut and each week he keeps on showing why SOS wanted him so badly. How about that bump, sick. I would still like to see him get some midfield time before the season ends.
TDK had a good game against one of the best in the business, he just needs to put on some kgs and have a good back up.
Good team win, hopefully we can back it up next week.

Reward for playing a blinder in VFL last week apparently. Why is it some of our players can dominate at VFL level and go missing at AFL level? Is this common at most football clubs for younger players? Actually there’s an older bluebagger who was a bit the same a few weeks ago (Murphy). I’m mainly thinking of Cottrell, Setters, and going back to the first half of this season and last year Kennedy, Dow, SPS to some extent, Williamson probably others, Fisher occasionally goes missing but generally has been improving.

Do they just need more time and development or is it a confidence thing (maybe both)?
