Gold Coast played well last night. They had a plan for us, avoiding the Langdon wing, creating marking contests, no easy marks to be had at all for us, hard at it around the ball, defensively solid although our delivery to our forwards was sloppy Miller is A-grade, Chol was a handful, Rowell is tough as. With Rankine to come back in I reckon they’ll win a fair few games this year We badly need Lever back in the team. We’re conceding too many inside 50 marks and scoring chances. With more composure the Suns could have been closer and made it a nervy last quarter. We will lose sooner rather than later if we meet an accurate opponent. We have to get Rick back in to marshal that defence Bowey was exceptional. Other than 1 errant handball in midfield his disposal was flawless. He has that rare quality of always appearing to have plenty of time. Positions himself perfectly, reads the play so well. Dogga is a beast. He’s now clunking marks that he was dropping last year. Sign him up now. Kozzie never gives his opponents a second of peace. Always hunting and harrying. Took his 2 goals well. He’s going to have a monster game soon. It’s brewing Trac was BOG. Played his typical brutish game We got the win while playing without some key defenders. We’ll put the points in the bank and move on P.S. Metricon is a lovely stadium. Pity none of the locals have any interest in heading along to see their team. Dees supporters outnumbered the Suns fans 60:40 I reckon.

Not at our best but got the job done. Bank the win and move on

More like 300

Bureau of meteorology got it wrong tonight. Beautiful night here

Dees fans out in force tonight. I reckon the crowd is 50/50

What a goal kozzie

No help from the umps tonight

Bowey excellent

Thank you north

We badly miss jake lever

Superb kick Ben brown

Badly needed

Suns are up and about. We’re in a game here

Big crowd not

Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

Better system AND better players. No club have a trio of defenders that come close to our defensive triumvirate of May, Lever and Salem

I’m looking forward to my first trip to Metricon and first flight since the before times It’s a danger game only in so far as every game is a danger game if we’re not switched on and focused. But this is the new Dees. We will be switched on and focused Dees by 5 goals

None of the 4 he kicked tonight were easy. Straight and true We may never see the likes again. well done Buddy

Swans a threat this year for sure. Florent, Gulden, heeney. all very good players

I think it’s fantastic news. Hopefully the faithful will come out in force to support the team, I’ll definitely be there to cheer on the girls.

Doggies have turned up the heat. We'll see what Carlton are made out of now.

I hope Buddy kicks his 1,000th tomorrow and gets it over and done with. Fox Footy and SEN mention it every 5 minutes

Lacky O'Brien milked that free kick

I think you need some re-education WCW

it's been a long time since carlton played with this kind of intensity. I wonder if they can keep it going for 4 quarters
