Demon Jack 7,194 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Smith has tackled well so far. Done his bit 1
Cassiew 1,903 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Great first half. One more strong quarter and they’re gone
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Much, much better quarter of footy. 7 goals to 2 is a big tick and proof our forward line is now clicking. We missed Tommy Mac badly in the first part of the season. Oliver, Viney and Hogan have been quiet by their standards but we are well on top which is further proof of the depth of talent and quality we have in this side at the moment. Smith has had 9 touches, 3 marks, 4 tackles and a few hitouts as well. Some are knocking him but I think he's been terrific so far. 5

Diamond_Jim 12,773 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Strong second quarter. Repeat that in the third and we can enjoy the final quarter. Jones playing well. I thought brayshaw was quiet that quarter after a strong first quarter

The baggers would've been told by Gil that Curnow cannot play or it would make the AFL look silly (whoops), so they came up with some bullsh!t quad injury, but in return they'd get a sweet ride from the umps. 1

Nasher 33,686 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Carlton play a tough contested brand of footy, but just have far too many crap players. No coaching or game plan can help when you’ve got the likes of Kerridge who rack up possessions on the wing, turn inboard and kick a scrubber along the ground in to the centre and turn a clear avenue to goal in to another contest. We’re in 3rd gear. Find 4th and we will annihilate them. And Plugger McDonald, you are a star. 6

brendan 3,458 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Might as well get tommy signed up sooner rather than later, he would be getting some big offers I would be chasing him instead of lynch if I were opposition clubs
whatwhat say what 23,858 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Excellent second quarter Dominated everywhere but the scoreboard in the first quarter and then put it on there in the second Will be very disappointing if we don’t really bury them from here Lever dominant across half back, mids all doing well and Plugger Mac (sorry mum) absolutely glorious up front

Diamond_Jim 12,773 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Light rain falling during the half time break
dee-tox 4,835 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Tough old game, but Dees are setting up well. McDonald, Melksham, Jones, Lever, Smith all doing well.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Oliver I thought has hardly touched it. Looked and he is leading all dees with 14... Fritsch is the one for me, super clean, composed, takea the right option. Such a good selection. Milkshake has been amazing today and Plugger... oh how i love him playing forward. 2
Devil In Disguise 2,284 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Eddie McGuire's commentary is disgusting. Blatantly barracking for Carltank. What is he thinking? 2
Axis of Bob 11,945 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 We did the same last week, where we couldn’t turn dominance early into a good lead. But if you maintain that then eventually the floodgates open and you can start hitting the scoreboard. Especially later in the game. We are playing a really strong brand and we are maintaining that, which is bringing results. That shows a bit of maturity, which we’ve lacked in past seasons. 2

Demon trucker 1,800 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 There are turnovers and there are turnovers, Vince's turnovers are almost always in dangerous area they tend to lead to goals. And some want to give him another year
Satyriconhome 10,880 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Haven't read all the posts, Oliver has a protective glove on one hand, so maybe our 4th hand injury this year

Devil In Disguise 2,284 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Can't believe the frees paid against us in the centre square so far. 1
forever demons 2,369 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 its like we were in past years in it for awhile then run over us,hope we give it back to them

When we used to lose the frees it was because we were losing and not as hard at it, now we are hard at it we still lose the frees. It is just like Friday night games, apparently we would get them when we started moving up the ladder too, hahahahaha, not holding my breath.
