Gawn vs Kreuzer

Featured Replies

The thread title implies some degree of competitiveness between Gawn and Kruezer, but they are in two different  leagues. Gawn vs Kruezer is like:

  • Winx vs Prized Icon
  • Real Madrid vs Perth Glory
  • Ali v Bugner
  • Spurs v Melburne United
  • Bolt vs anyone
  • Dees vs Bliues

You get the idea.

So now you know what is MFCSS ... but how does it work?

Example. We could be leading at half time by 15 goals to 1.

After half time ... if Carlton get the first inside 50 ... cue the comments:

Here we go! Carlton by 187!

Jesse Hogan is not up to AFL standard!

I knew this would happen! Why does this always happen to us?

I have always known Mitch Hannan was hopeless. I have been saying this since 1975.

We should never again pick Nathan Jones. Never!!!!!

Goodwin has no plan B. Sack him before the 3/4 time break!

I blame Cameron Schwab, Gabriel Szondy, Joe Gutnick, Paul McNamee, Adrian Anderson and Dennis Jones!

That's MFCSS.

(Trace elements were detectable in the first quarter against St K)

And with 10 minutes to go against the Saints when they got within 5 goals. 

 

Kreuzer and Cripps are the 2 Carlton players that worry me the most. In the JLT Cup, Kreuzer was basically jumping into Gawn at the centre bounces, and Max went down a couple of times. Gawn won't dominate Kreuzer like he did Hickey. And Kreuzer is 10 times the player Hickey is around the ground.

Fair points but ...

1. Everything IS Jacks Watts' fault. Just ask any supporter of any other club. He transcends MFCSS.

2. "OMG" is the correct reaction upon hearing or seeing the words "Mark Neeld" in any context. MFCSS notwithstanding.

If the turnaround really bears fruit, we will also have to say 'PBUH' after every mention of Paul Roos.

Later on we can all argue about whether it was Goodwin or McCartney who should be considered the true successor.

What about BFP ...former recruiter


Pathetic thread.

People talking as if we've won 3 flags in a row and are untouchable. I was as impressed as anyone by our win on the weekend but we've accomplished absolutely nothing - won a round one game! Still haven't played finals in a decade. Still haven't won a flag in over 50 years. 3 games ago the team that everyone's mocking beat us comfortably. 2 games ago we were beaten by 20 goals. Enjoy our ride up the ladder but have a little humility. Pride comes before a fall.

Hickey has historically jumped into Gawn too, but we managed to navigate that last week and I think we'll have a plan to deal with Kreuzer doing this too. 


I do think Gawn will 'beat' Kruezer position for position, but we would be foolish to underestimate the potential for Kruezer to in turn bob up at the right (wrong) moments and cost us the game if we let it be close enough for that to happen.

He may look like someone glued a dying salmon onto the neck of a baby giraffe, but Kreuzer can be dangerous.

Which is kind of the mantra for understanding Carlton overall - awkward pieces stuck and stapled together, but a lot of those awkward pieces can do damage if they are allowed to, and the only way to be sure of beating them is sheer weight sustained competent effort. In other words, no "5 goals in 15 minutes" lapses.

Kruezer in one of those players, like Murphy, Cripps, even (shocking I know) Casboult, who can turn it on in a burst and be the catalyst for one of our traditional five goal failures.

And you can bet the Blues will be fancying their chances this week too.  We haven't proven anything yet,  and this is the exact kind of game we always lose, and it always seems to be vs the Blues or Bombers.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
