Favourite play….

Charlies 3rd goal i believe…the pick up
on the volley and left foot…!

Cripps handball to Fantasia…Fantasia’s balk…
and Charlies pick up…beautiful…!


kindest regards tommi







honourable mention to every Walsh extraction
from the centre…glorious…!

once again yes we won but our game plan of bomb kicks is a big worry and we need more run and connection to take the next step . We were 20 pts down in 3rd Q, 4/5 goals down against lions, lucky to beat Freo,i suppose winning covers everything .Hopefully come F Time we can fix this up.

Didn't get around to reading about last week's disappointment on here, so I thought I'd read the comments on that game before this one.

Heartened to see a few admit they went a bit early on things 'that'll never work', as some things certainly did this week.

I was wondering if our coaches were on top of things as the Oranges were pulling away from us in that third quarter, but boy did we pull the finger out!

Not much to add to previous comments. I'll just say that Cripps is a monster and Walsh is a brilliantly designed robot. Can we lay claim to being the robot monsters of the comp then (but better to watch than the infamous film)?

Pittonet performed his role brilliantly, allowing TDK to do the same.

For once, my five votes aligned with TC, and also with the coaches, it seems. Kennedy for my fifth but only a whisker ahead of several others. Great to have a plethora of choices.

I've seen more than one person say that Cottrell is seriously underrated. I concur. At first I admired his grit and tank but his skills are not to be sniffed at.

Ollie's not getting the kudos he deserves for a clutch goal in the second, I think it was, apart from his overall decent game. Boyd, Newman, Kemp, etc etc...

All with no Cerra, Saad, Fogarty (our talisman), Gov, JOS, Motlop, Cincotta, Doc, Martin, Cunners, etc... And a halftime loss of Williams and a clearly hampered Weiters.

It doesn't seem too long ago that several doubters here and elsewhere were bemoaning our lack of depth. I think it might just be coming together. Ssh!

I have to say that it was a joy to behold in person our deluge in the third. The competition is taking notice.

Hats off to Pittonet. Stellar job yesterday. Looked more mobile and robust than last week.

Maybe the MC are onto something. Pies won a flag with Cameron and the American bloke. So is 2 rucks the go?

I’m not sold on this but what would l know.

BTW funnily enough, l was less nervous this week than last week and felt we could beat GWS

When teams worked out how to stop collingwoods early 2023 gameplan they also worked out how to stop our mid 2023 run of 10 goal wins gameplan. Both Collingwood and Carlton have adapted. Back to being a forward half team and using grunt at clearances to get our dominance. The long kick into 50 is part of that.
On the weekend we scored a goal every 3.2 inside 50. That is fantastic. We need to work on how many we leak the other way as teams are scoring too much for my liking.
However, If we did turn a corner with our favoured gamestyle and our conditioning is peaking due to not tapering until after the bye then we might be in for a big month.
