Tappy is having a blinder of a game

One of the best I've seen Jones play for a while as well... if the rest could follow the lead of Jones, Viney, Tappy and Garland, we would be much better placed.

Ad they take it in once and stroll it in

Jones starting to handle a tag quite well

We just have to keep battling, because Carlton are a very ordinary football side.

we work hard for 6 minutes for a behind and carlton get an inside fifty and for the 8th time today they have someone running out the back of the pack. am i the only one seeing this or???

all that work and they just get one easy.

Carlton are getting away with murder with their tackling... but hey...they are laying them and worrying later...we spend far too much time watching

Carlton kicking to advantage ( player ) we just kick it in hope..

Haven't seen much of Kent so far.

all that work and they just get one easy.

All that work and on one inside our 50 to kick to

Since when is 10 meters 15? Didn't deserve a goal

Tapscott..I applaud your efforts today.

50% kicking efficiently v 70+%

We won the quarter!

Boys having a good dip, but geez we make the easy look so hard and just can't rack up cheap kicks like other teams can.

10 scoring shots to 12 and we are 4 goals down. wasting it today boys. showing fight but we want more than that. should be right in this game.

Well... We're still in it ... But I want to rip my TV of the wall and stomp on it until it bleeds LCD.

Not sure whether I should go outside.

Half time uncontested possessions:

CFC 109 MFC 67

The effort is good, but there's still no spread, idea how to run the zone, or marking targets inside 50

Some poor shots at goal - we should be closer. I think we held our own in that quarter. Howe needs to get more involved.

Tapscott..I applaud your efforts today.

I won't say it, because everyone on here already knows what i'll say and how i feel about him.

So yes.

This was a respectable quarter. Tappy is really winning me over and Nathan Jones should be given the Bluey now, he is seriously a gun.

If we could kick straight and weren't so god awful on the counter attack, we'd be in this. Sadly, knowing us, I'm scared the second half will be a whitewash.

All that work and on one inside our 50 to kick to

we play a game of footy whereby we dont beleive in ourselves too much..If we did we'd make position, wed run off and go forward in the belief the ball was coming..

we effectively just play a defeateist negative game....save for 4 or 5 players who are actually trying to create something

Genuinely enjoyed that second quarter. Forgotten what that feels like. Great endeavour.

Jones is heroic. There's no other word.

We WON the qtr!!!

10 scoring shots to 12 and we are 4 goals down. wasting it today boys. showing fight but we want more than that. should be right in this game.

We have no one inside 50 so all our shots are snaps or kicks out of packs, very few set shots or open inside 50s like Carlton have had.
