Pros
- Judd
- Kreuzer, Yarran, McLean, Duigan, Betts, Walker, Robbo, Carrots, Gibbs, Watson, Jamo all played well.
- Nice solid debut from McInnes

Cons
- Collingwood allowed us to play how we wanted to play and let Judd off the leash......it would be nice to claim a big scalp without relying heavily on Judd.
- Not sure about Collins. Did some nice things but his decision making is a worry.
- Not really a con - but this win won't mean anything unless we back it up again next week against North.

PROS:

- absolutely fantastic and unexpected win. Whatever you think about their performance & future in their current roles, Sticks & Ratten are great Carlton people and I'm really pleased they had a positive end to a very tough week.

CONS:

- Hammer's injury
- I think the win has come too late to save our season or Ratten's future as coach beyond this year.

Pro
- The amount of absolute sooking from Filth supporters: "Yeah well you're still shit"
Me? "Yep, we're shit and we've still beaten you twice this year which makes it even better seeing you suffer!"

Pro

I thought Curnow was excellent last night, if he can get back to the form of his start to 2011, will be a big plus for us

Echo that.

Pros:
1. Ratten making some big calls in the coaching box and sending Duigan up fwd
2. TACKLE INTENSITY! Was amazing. Been a long time since I have seen that from the Blues
3. McInnes showed he was up for the challenge in his first game
4. Yarran was damn good
5. Solid contributions from all players. Nobody was carried and Garlett was getting plenty of the ball. His confidence will be better for it.

Cons:
1. Hampson injury
2. Simmo
3. Questions being brought up about commitment - why haven't we played like that for so long?

It sucks that Hammer was injured but at least we got to take away that less is more when it comes to ruckman. The problem is going ahead from here with Kreuz and Warnock - can Warnock play the fwd role?

Pro: Skiing holiday in NZ.

Con: Will miss the Collingwood game.

Pro: Not missing anything anyway, we're going to get hammered.

Con: We actually have a thrilling win.

Errr ... hang on ...

Massive Pro : Being able to relive the game by reading from start to finish the 25 pages of the match day thread.
It's interesting to read that not knowing anything else about the game. Based soley on what I read in that thread,
these are my impressions, (FWIW) ...

Brock is not dead and buried at CFC yet.
Garlett seriously should not be in this team ATM.
Wellingham should be suspended for life.
Judd was quiet early but made his presence felt as the game progressed.
Collins was lively early, but made a couple of goofs towards the end.
Three ruckmen might be two too many.
Ratts is a genius coach for moving Duigan forward.
Wellingham's remaining life span shouldn't be all that long.
Yarran has remembered than he is good at running.

Oh, come on Agro, you missed a few adjectives there.

Pros:

Great to beat Collingwood again. First time in ages we've beaten them twice in a year.
For once we seemed to gain an advantage with tactics and strategies from MC. Duigan move forward onto Maxwell was brilliant.
Yarran, Judd, Robbo, Kreuzer.

Cons:

False dawn. Probably has prematurely removed deserved pressure from the club as a whole (at least for a few weeks).
