That's old school right there, swear by it also.

Going good is young Juddy.

He out like a light.

He didn't have his arms pinned he let go.

Our field kicking entries into 50 are deplorable, none of our forwards double back enough to accept that easy hit up. Friggen frustrating as we are in these positions so often, this game should be iced and put to bed.

Put the game out of their reach this quarter boys, don't give them a sniff.

Great start boys.👊 Is Cripps even playing?

Keep jumping at the ball Joel.

That [censored] excellent Joel!

1st goal with his 1st kick unbelievable, we are shocking clearing our lines another D50 stoppage goal.

Ive seen VFL highlights over the past few weeks he can take a pack mark and kick truely something we have been missing for a long time. Joel has a high leap, and is quick over the ground. Hope he has seen the last of his injury worries and he can compete and make himself a nuisance for Carlton’s backline. Go Dees.

Taking the mickey by the way @WalkingCivilWar would never question El Capitano. Lets go with adjective for those playing at home.

Interested to see how Joel Smith goes about it tonight. Hope he clunks a few and can apply some tackling pressure when it goes to ground. We need to find our system and method tonight going forward.

He sure is trying out there.

I actually dont mind Schache as a defender, he's playing well as a forward but i would play him higher on Mckay and May on Curnow. Suspect that the brains trust will go with Tomlinson before Shaq though. Thommo also is good form. We definitely need to form the defensive triangle 🔺️ of May, Lever, Petty or Thommo again.

I know a win is a win, but if we are fair dinkum serious this year it just has to be a 5+ goal victory Friday Night.

We have definitely changed the way we play in one of the defensive transition aspects of our game. We have sagged off on our half field press. We longer have a defensive wall outside 50 for those dump kicks. This is mainly because teams are being coached to either handball out or hit up players with 15-20 m chip kicks exiting when our F50 lacks tackle pressure. Having said that Freo on the weekend did dump kick on 4-5 occassions and landed directly into Freo hands then they were off. This is a direct result of our hard press being released and why you see us out numbered in the middle third of the ground.. Oppo teams have definitely worked us out hitting shorter targets with their kicks especially in board where we have no strong zone coverage in the center square what so ever. Whilst we had our chances to win both games against Powa and Freo our weakness in our mid zone compressing coverage this year and last has allow team to be more brave against us and kick through once a strength now a major weakness.

He kick 4 that game and was close to best on.

The AFL really want Carltank to stay relevant and alive in this year's season.

Is their best player playing Friday Night?

Do Carlton run the MRO Panel?

I can't ever remember a Melbourne home and away season game being Sold Out. So this is official?

Tmac from 2021 would be very handy right about now.

That's because a certain Third tall isn't playing next to him.

Great reporting as usual Kev, im sure the brains trust will come up with something to cure our Forward line, Stoppages and clearance worries.🙏
