Dutchy!

Took ollie to win the rising star at 33/1. Might have left his run a bit late.

Would be disappointing if he didn't get a nomination this week though.

Crouch for me is a bigger shocker than Wilkie. He's an accumulator that doesn't hurt you much at the best of times.

But not to touch the ball in the last quarter when your team starts in front and gets overwhelmed means that you did nothing to stem the tide and to my mind at lease disqualifies you from getting votes.

Acres pretty much helped turn the game, kicked two big goals, including a ripper to seal the game, set up Charlie for another in the last, had 27 touches and was clearly in the best 3 players on the ground.

Crouch had a very good first half. 6 clearances is a big number, only 4 players had more than that for the game.
I agree with you re: hurt factor, but St Kilda were on top at half time and a big reason for that was his work inside.

Acres was fantastic. I couldn't split him and Newy for BOG, I'll need to watch a replay to decide that one.

2 SI is not really torching us. Game is on the line in the last and he is invisible. Crouch would be lucky to be in the top 10 players on the ground IMO.

Second half he was invisible. First half he was very good.

Not fussed on score involvements. Clearances and contested possessions are his indicator IMO.

Went to the game yesterday, unbelievable win and the atmosphere was something else!!

Imo boys looked a little flat/flaky in the first half. But gee did we over power them in the second half! They were absolutely gassed! We ran them off their feet and bullied the s**t out of them! Something I haven’t seen Carlton do in a long time!!

Fish - unbelievable game! Sweeper roll across half back was brilliant!

P.Dow - great second half! Blew the roof off when he nailed that goal to put us ahead!

All the boys where great and all went up two gears when required in the second half!

My youngest daughter had her hands over her ears for most of the second half! Noise was impressive!

AFL R21 | Voss post-match

AFL Senior Coach Michael Voss spoke with media following the Round 21 win over St Kilda.

www.carltonfc.com.au

We have had a couple of “best wins in years” games recently

The turnaround after quarter time against the Suns was special and has sparked an amazing run

The win at Freo was the first four quarter effort and one where all 23 contributed - probably most complete win in over a decade

The thumping of Port was the first big win against a top 2 team in a very long time

The win against the Pies was the first win against the top team and flag favorites in a very long time - and also was some revenge too

And the win against the Saints was perhaps the most pleasing and character building win in over a decade

Marshall flogged Pittonet in the first half. Pittonet was good in Q4. I would select JSOS over Pittonet at this stage for most games, with Melbourne the exception

So would I mate , the point was made that Its the easiest of the decisions who to drop I think this one looks easy but wouldn’t surprise me voss sticks with pitto

Good spread that. Both Cripps and Newman got 5 from one coach but donuts from the other!

Can't be that often that each coach gives BOG to a player that the other coach doesn't give any votes.

 

[jj1978]

I'd say Ross gave Cripps the 5. Probably one of the players outside of Charlie they focused hard to shut down and to walk away with 25 odd disposals, 14 clearances and 4 score involvements was worthy.

Said last week Hollands looked like a kid (which he is so zero qualms) but thought this week he looked really strong over the footy.

Fish making it hard for Boyd to come straight back and Dow going to be likely the talk again if and when we have Cerra Walsh and Kennedy available

 

[Stamos]

Only according to one coach...
Inexplicable.

 

[The Dochs in]

Newman will win b and f at a canter

That Cerra bloke has had a decent year as well..

Coming soon to a JB HIFI near you.

Shoutout to NetworkNerd for the artwork.

Going to rent that from Videoezy as soon as it hits the shelves.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Not really. The other coach thought it was more important to keep stifling Charlie than to try and win the game near the end.

It all makes sense in a nonsensical manner.

If Dow can back it up and stay at the level then I'd honestly make Kennedy the sub when he returns. Just think his loss of fitness level and his strong skill set forward of the ball screams game changing sub come finals more so than the meat and potatoes from Dow who (hopefully) will have lots of continuation in his game by that point

Would be a reasonably big call but tend to agree. Options would be a nice thing to have.

But that still doesn't get Dow a place in our dream starting 22. Even if he is rated above Kennedy he still has to displace either Cripps,Walsh, Cerra or Hewett. Can't see us playing 5 genuine midfielders, we've tried before but always given up something to do it (e.g Walsh not in bounce set ups, playing one less pressure forward) and we've been worse off for it.

Might never get all available this year of course.
