monoccular

Does Fitzpatrick still hold a position at AFL HQ? If not Carlton may get what they deserve next year, being Sunday twilights at Doglands.

The demotion of those with poor delivery skills has made a huge difference. There have been very few unforced errors in recent weeks.

Congratulations champ Well done and well deserved Are you involved with the club?

Mutual trust means each player doesn’t have to think they have to go it alone This results in far better positioning for shots at goal Running and spreading giving options for the guy with the ball The return of JV and TMcD, and of Gus in career best form The emergence and gain in poise of Fritsch, Hannan, Spartacus, ANB and Harmes The gelling of the defence again allowing trust to leave the direct opponent

Just watching the full first half Brooooose is just appalling - practically orgasmic every time Eddie goes anywhere near the ball and so cringeworthy deferential to the woman glasser. And I never thought that Clarrie’s hands could get quicker .... but they have. Truly amazing Could have been better - actually stuffed up about 4 opportunities in Q2 in possession in deep F50 - should have won by 120+ ( I know I am getting hard to satisfy)

He obviously remembers, unhappily, his encounter with Mr Grinter. You would think he could be grateful to our club for the (rumoured) six figure payout. PS: :-))))) 'tragic waste of skin' :-)))). An apt description

....yet does not feature in prime time ! I also can watch on demand, but it is used to be good to sit down on a Friday night and watch a good game, and not the same teams each week. ** but the thing is that it is NOT based on the previous year's form, and certainly NOT on the attractiveness of game styles from the previous year

Hey Tim. Thanks for, partly through the absence of leadership from you know who when the team he captained was getting who knows what in an underhanded attempt at gaining illegal advantage, gifting us two of our most valuable contributors. I wonder who taught him what leadership involves? It is about the only win we have had in the trades involving your old club. Thanks. And by the way my care factor for the opinions of you, or the other unmentionable mentioned in this report, or of helium man, is far below zero

Brilliant work Gill dill (no doubt prompted by Fitzpatrick) rewarding the Blues for their mediocrity. May it bite you in the bum.

In fairness they did get there - we had yet to do that for far too long, and haven’t performed nearly as well as they did for 53 years ?

Redraft the thread title Clarry "one of the best to emerge in last 20 years"

And how good is it that there is competition for the place .... nobody can rest on their laurels. And if I heard correctly Pedersen was up there backing the team even though he may have felt he should be in the team. Great club spirit.

A very similar story to Neville .... almost forced to give the game away and returns with dominance. Well done Gus ... hard work and persistence; and also kudos to the footy department for keeping faith in both of these stars

Maybe he should be “managed”? ? But seriously he more than most (Robbie Flower and Bob Skelton maybe exceptions) deserves to taste success. I still remember watching him burn the field at Sandringham earning his promotion. What a hard nut. Hopefully that was “the old Melbourne” The new one I have watched the past five rounds shouldn’t allow such things to occur.

Lets hope that it isn’t so close this time.

Hogan - listen for siren ??

Does anyone really think that he could possibly enjoy playing under Ross Lyon with his 6-8 goal a game forward line? (Could anyone for that matter - doesn’t look like anyone does at the moment) Seriously, what a special talent who appears to be enjoying every moment (well almost, other than the after siren play on brain fade) Well done Jesse - we love you and look forward to many years kicking multiple goals and assisting Demon teammates kick many more.

Apologies Rusty. I was replying to the previous poster who was talking about Max. My bad.

Great idea, helium man. About as successful as your various attempts at coaching.

Unfortunately didn't see the match and am looking forward to the replay. But it is interesting from the stats that he (Max) had ZERO marks today in a dominant team performance. I guess that confirms that stats are just that ... stats.

Whoever made the call to play him as a winger deserves a gold medal. Fantastic move. Calm, aggressive, beautiful mover and reader of the play and silky disposal.

Has Mr Wallet spoken ?

Maybe, but only after watching the replay Thanks Mark.

NO EXCUSES! Just kill from the opening bounce.

I notice that nobody has dared start a changes for next week thread. ???
