We got 4 points and that was the aim at the start of the day
They went about making sure they weren't flogged again
They didn't want to overly attack nor did they want the game to a open game with skill being the key factor
Few players looked a bit flat today but coming off a bye that happens at times
We've put ourselves into w position now to really make the most of our season and its up to the coaches & players to get the most out of that
Still think we are 1 tall snort in defence but when Moore is back that will be addressed
Thought Scharenberg battled hard all day when isolated on Curnow who's a absolute star when he decides to turn up. Thing about Scharenberg that many miss is his ability to read the play well ahead of time and get into good positions his problems arise when he's taken deep by a taller or quicker player but with a couple injuries he's being asked to play well above his height and speed often and overall has handled it well. I think some forget he's only 20 odd games into his career but the poise he shows and skill by foot and intercept marking ability proves why the club kept him around and why they extended his contract.
WHE is just a smart footballer. He uses his weapons to his advantage well
Stephenson makes some mistakes like all young players but geez he's got some skills as well. Can't wait to see how good he ends up in a couple years
Grundy is just about our most important player. He's not just a first class ruckman but then doubles as a clearance player, then a running link player, then a attacking weapon. So many strings to his bow and the scary thing is his best football is still the coming years.
Most of the team played ok today but a couple will be looking over there shoulders when we have other players fit.
Thomas was very ordinary today. Didn't do much of anything. He's got a few credits but he wouldn't want to be playing that badly in a few weeks.
Daicos tries hard but I think his body size hampers him at times. Not sure what role the coaches are asking him to play but he's not really contributing in attack nor is he stifling oppostion attacks. He's houng hopefully he gets a set role to grow into
Langdon for all his courage (and yes I rate that a great trait he has) makes so many horrible decisions it amazes me. He is so often caught in no mans land. He's not manning his man nor is he in a position to help a team mate. I've been a critic for ages and he hasn't done anywhere near enough to be a certain starter when we have a full list to pick form. Just a side note on him yesterday he attempted 5 kicks over 25m and turned the ball over 5 times but he didn't miss a handball or a pass by foot under 15m. He needs to learn his limations as a player and not look to do anything other than get the ball into the hands of Scharenberg or Howe who have far superior foot skills

A win is a win and at the end of the day you only get 4 points whether you win sensationally or ugly

Some pretty dodgy umpiring favouring Carlton. What was the 2nd 50m for?

I will need to watch the replay but it looked like the umpire was signalling to a player to stay out of the zone and then awarded the 50. When the camera panned out I still couldn't see a player.

I honestly don't care if we wear the light or dark top, but today was stupid

I agree. I got lost a couple of times. I thought Carlton were required to wear their white jumper with white shorts.

A thing of contrast—we are going along building our game and “momentum “

Play Dee,s with a near perfect 4 qtr performance—then the bye

Reckon it cost us 2 quarter,s before we gained some of the “momentum “

IMO the bye sucks

Can people seriously not tell the difference between a Collingwood jumper and a Carlton one? What is the world coming to?

I suppose I should add that Collingwood might now only have 5 wins in a row but the Future Captain has 8. No doubt it's a complete coincidence that they've won the last 5 games in a row since he came back from injury.
