G'day TC posters.
I just want to say a big heart-felt 'Thank you!' to everyone on TC. :thanks:
During the bleak times this year, being part of the TC Community has helped me a lot.
We had all felt the frustration and disappointment as our team's losses were mounting :banghead: .
The humour, optimism and goodwill of TC has helped me in dealing with these losses.
After the Saints game on Sunday, heading to Southern Cross with the Carlton supporters, singing 'We are the Navy Blues' was an incredible feeling. A feeling of genuine optimism.
Hopefully our Team can go deep into September and #17 is not far away.
Cheers everyone!
Go Blues!


No matter what happens from here - this team now believes and knows what is required. The StKilda game was crucial on many levels.
I finally believe we are now being lead well. I told my kids - it's finally time to sit back and enjoy a successful Carlton.
For me, it will be something special, as over the past few years I honestly felt we wouldn't ever be enjoying such a period.

Its fkn fantastic to share this rise with the kids.

To feel the same excitement I felt when I was growing up...looking forward to the next Carlton game and win.

Wasn't able to get to the game but the atmosphere seemed off the charts on TV. Glad you had a good time! :thumbsup:

Great game, great win.
In the context of it all, probably one of our best in a long long time.

First half had me thinking oh sh!t, we are in for a hiding.
But the coaches and players shown why we have won 7 on the trot, determination especially against all odds.
That's a finals winning mindset.
To all the Voss naysayers, politely go and eat one, we have a winner here.

I said this a few weeks ago, Newman is our most underrated player on the team.
He was BOG again and with Weitering they are tearing teams forward lines apart, that's how you win games.
I thought up forward Martin, Curnow and Owies were sensational, their defensive pressure and setting up team mates is elite.
Motlop is a gun, can't wait to see how good he gets.
Dow and Fisher, well FMD. I'd always hoped Dow would turn his game around but I never thought Fisher would.
Fisher was hitting targets by foot at an elite 76%, impressive and surely deserves another year if he decides to stay, great depth player when he plays like this.
Acres managed to keep the footy in the field of play which is an impressive feat in itself, I'd still like to see him play more of a midfield role.
Hollands goes hard, still needs to put on some serious kgs though and his kicking lets him down a lot (55%), but definitely has potential and good to see he got the nod this week
TDK kicked it up a notch after half time, my only gripe is I just wish he'd hang on to more marks.

Looking forward to this weeks game, I just wish we had more players available but on the other hand we are building a team resilience and winning mindset no matter what and the roles are clear and simple for the next man up, that's what you want.



agree with all that. On TDK, his 2nd half was prob one of the best half of footy I've seen TDK play, without being a super star just gave his everything and then some. Seemed to be a really tough day for marking the ball, Saints pressure was finals like. Charlie and Jack Martin both failed to mark balls you'd expect them to gobble up most other games. That bullucking run ending in a fresh air kick up the wing and marked by Charlie was impressive, as was his goal.

100%

Same as me. The noise you could hear on TV was amazing and I wished I had been there.

Alright let’s keep this short, because that’s what St. Kilda did at the game on Sunday night. They kept it so short in fact, they forgot to turn up for the second half.

With our season on the line, a packed Marvel Stadium in the house, and a scintillating start, we absolutely crapped the bed and choked harder than Mark Williams’ tie on grand final day. We were scared of the contest, scared to attack, scared to hit a target, woeful in defence and offence, and totally clueless.

Carlton was missing these players: Walsh, Cerra, McGovern and McKay. We were missing: pretty much no one.


Sounds like they're taking it well.


They left out Kennedy Silvagni & Boyd...
