Yeah , true , but the real Voss would be fuming inside . And that smile is the smile of a smiling assassin . Leopards don't change there spots . A few are in for a rude shock as the season unfolds . I can't wait myself . Carlton getting back to what it used to be . Ruthless and uncompromising just like the Coach himself . Fantastic aint it .

Agree Mick, the review of the game hopefully should be another step in our learning. Hopefully we should learn a lot from a game like this. Interesting in the amount of games where teams are kicking many goals in a row - momentum footy is massive, need to know how to control a game.

In the 80's you would just start a fight.

Watched Voss speaking to Wayne 'the dominator' Johnston today, one of Voss' two idols growing up as a Carlton supporter alongside Kenny Hunter. During our Premiership years growing up the Dominator was our Dusty Martin, always standing up in the big finals. If only Voss can install his and Wayne's approach to the big matches amongst the playing group...oh this would be wondeful.

Yep.
This is what makes the the tap and the centre clearance to advantage even more crucial in games.

That first line reads like it came from a police interrogation.

"So, Mr Walsh, where were you on Thursday February 25th between 1 and 2pm?"
"Um, I think I might have been walking with Vossy.. ?"
"You THINK you were walking with Vossy? Can anyone corroborate this little walk of yours? Or were you at the scene of the crime, doing a little MURDERING?"
"No! No... No, I definitely went for a walk with Vossy. The other boys walked with Vossy too, ask them, they'll tell you!"

Makes me feel good....real good.

Now we just need to continue to focus on one win, one game at a time....then we stick it up Mick McGuane, the farce he is.

Nice!

Third quarter efforts through five games:

R1 -23 v Richmond
R2 -13 v Bulldogs
R3 -13 v Hawthorn
R4 -23 v GC
R5 -32 v Port

The boss man says that a lapse in concentration is the root cause of our fade outs.

The main break seems like a good time to work on that problem.

This has been my concern also.
We have been up at half time in 4 of the 5 games (GCS -14).
I'm starting to think this may come down to strategy or a lack of it from the coaching department.
Either we are letting the opposition work out our game plan and allowing them to adapt to it with little to no change at half time. i.e. Solely a clearance based game.
Or, we are changing our game plan to a more controlled/defensive game and getting beaten on the spread by a more hungry team.

Either way, if we can get on top of them in the third quarter even by 1 point after a strong first half we will have beaten them in their heads and the job is done.
Or at the least we can come out strong in the 4th and put them away.

The massive positive is that the team will have total confidence if we are up by 2 goals half way through the 4th we will win the game.

It's an interesting dilemma we have, very stressful for us supporters but I really hope we work this out soon before it becomes a trend other team can bank on to beat us.

Agree. You always knew the dom would stand and deliver when we needed him. He was a star.
Add the Parkin instigated ‘Bosustow I need something special’ and it was a special half forward line.

Dustin Martin is a downhill skier compared to the Dominator.

I love Johnno like no other, but come on man…

Martin in his prime was as good as it gets in finals.

And so was the dominator … some might have to go back through their vhs tapes to remind themselves of how good Johnno was on the big stage …

Very unlucky not to have at least two Norm Smith Medals.


The 1982 Norm Smith Medal should definitely be Johnston’s.
