Probably could afford to. He's still an entire housing estate in the positive

We look like such a good team when we move the ball on quickly and use the corridor as much as possible

The second half was a slaughter

Lets compare ourselves with Freo shall we???

Not rich enough for me. Carlton have paid for my retirement this year. Remember the game in r3 against the Dons. at 3/4 time, the Dons were $7.00. In the words of Billy Joel, "easy money"

So at 3/4 time, the team in front was paying $7. At least make it sound credible.

lol, they were about $6 at 1/4 time, not 3/4 time.
[edit]

Actually they were $8.50 at quarter-time.

judd was sublime. . .but IMO gibbs was far and away best on ground. He got more possies forward of center, delivering the ball inside forward 50. Although granted judd probably started many of those runs by winning the contested footy.

I think carrazzo, murphy, johnson (cant believe ive read reports on the board criticising his performance), russell, o'hailpin, and thornton were all good too.

Thornton's got class, ive always said it, and always been laughed at, but he reads the play so well. And his only downfall is when playing one on one, and we've established since '06 he isnt a fullback. He just stabilised things downback so well.

Fev's body language was good. I'd like to see more praise heading his way for his efforts in the first quarter with his inensity and tackling pressure when no-one else was doing much. Sure he gave away a free kick, but he showed some fight when no-one else did.

Simmo's first half was typical average simmo, his opponent dominated. But his 2nd half, particularly last quarter was very very good.

Johnson's match was great IMO. Plenty of tackles, and kicked an effing special goal in the last quarter with game on the line.

Kreuzer should get some praise also, his 13hitouts resulted in 62% hitouts to advantage. Yes sandilands went down injured, but the kreuz also took a great contested mark and yet again his disposal in close contests was great.

I seem to remember them being somewhere between $2 - $3.50 at 3/4 time when they were ahead, according to the odds flashed up on the scoreboard.
Think you might be exaggerating

Also I don't think it was easy money as we looked like we could still hold them off

If you're sitting around putting bets on Carlton's opposition when we're in front at three quarter time, one would have to ask some serious questions about your character.

For those discussing bets at 3 qt time, please get back on topic.

I agree, some members here seem to have it in for him but he was pretty good.

I have to disagree with you there TBB. Aussie has tree trunks for legs, which kept him on his legs when two players were trying to bring him to ground at one stage, they just couldn't budge him. He holds his own in contests relatively well when he doesn't panic and gets his body in the right position.

He's the most promising backman I have seen at Carlton for a while, more so than Jamo IMHO...

Ask q's about my character as long as you don't ask questions about the windfall..........it's a social faux pas
