We did many things very well and much better than Carlton. Carlton's see ball get ball midfield was no match even without Oliver.

If it was champagne football every week then champagne would be boring. Sometimes you just need old fashioned tomato juice football

They're like a world class ship with a really bad rudder

That's probably true. Just wasn't an easy night for the opportunity forwards.

Sometimes I wish he'd just get front and square instead of trying go fly like Superman.

We were getting a lot more of that high press again and our defenders taking intercept marks outside our forward 50 again. Was good to see.

Not related but Cox gets a lot of credit for being a big American and having his parents come over every time there's a special occasion.

We got plenty to work on no doubt but I was happy with the way we went about this game intensity and pressure wise.

I wanted an ugly win more than a beautiful football win

Glad we're on the same page

Yeah why did they do that? Was all over the screen

He definitely did better than I thought he would.

6. Petracca 5. May 4. Salem 3. Rivers 2. Lever 1. JVR

I was told to be more positive demon3165, just working off the brief.

Did Tommo get soundly beaten by McKay? I don't think so. Harry kicked a checkside beauty and a ripper outside 50 but also flapped like a balloon for a dicey free. Harry had 9 marks and 5 inside 50 so nothing to sneeze at but Tommo wasn't that far off.

Wins like this might paper over the cracks, but losses in these games take sledgehammers to the cracks and rip the place down.

Keep the faith

We'll get our mojo back

It was an ugly game but not an ugly performance. Did plenty of things right just didn't execute well. I'm sure they will put it behind them.

Inaccuracy out

Even though it was ugly I thought we did a few things right. Backline rendered the Blue bums twin towers useless and McKay wasn't that great.

But on the positive side, we won the clearances!

We've got another chance to put things right against them this year. She'll be right

Bye couldn't come quick enough

Was good to record a win.
