Autopsy Rd 4 Carlton v St Kilda Post Match Discussion

[Sunshine Saint]

In Wellington for the match and wanted to leave a positive comment. After the match when Mick Malthouse received the match trophy, he made a gracious, professional, thoughtful speech, thanking Wellington, local council, St Kilda, Government and the AFL. He was praiseworthy for the opportunity to play in this special day and once again thanked the Saints for the opportunity to do so. The crowd of 12,000 were predominately Saints supporters, or those of other clubs by default who weren't supporting you, but his speech was received extremely well and he was a credit to himself and Carlton.

I know Malthouse gets lots of bad press and can have a prickly manner. But today he was an outstanding representative of your club and gave a thank you speech, that I would be extremely proud for my coach. I didn't love the final result, but left the ground with a very positive vibe of Malthouse and Carlton's involvement in the day.

Thanks and good luck for the rest of the season.

Great result imo

Good win to you today yids

Thanks MEB! At least we can both be happy this week. Richmond and Essendon both in the losers circle!

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

I just came on to say:

Cripps.

That is all. Good day folks.

What will we get for him on the trade table?

 

[ctacp]

Watching the replay again. Wow Cripps is a beast! His grunt work is brilliant. Something our midfield has been screaming out for. Can take a grab too.

We are going to have some bad games over the next 2 years still but we can build a new midfield around Cripps and Graham with DVR and Boekhurst on the outside

is it on bigfooty?

you know, in this day & age of "manscaping" it would be hard to pick someone who could pull off what a 70's catoggio would bring to the table.

Didn't Curnow try it on a few years back???

We really have not seen anything like it....except for the early Guy Sebastian years....

 

[ctacp]

Let's hope it's Dick's time to be enormous next week.

please, preface all comments about Matt as "Rics convenience store's own Matt Dick". thankyou, come again...

proudly sponsoring Matty D !

first part of my signature or second ? i wasnt privvy to Curnows (or guy sebastians for that matter) other regions...

 

[KnaveyBlue]

The Saints fans are quite buoyed by Membrey's game, which I find odd. I'd been keen to watch him play as I really wanted us to draft him, but after today I'm not too bothered. Seemed very one-dimensional.

 

[DirkDiggler]

Anyone other than Sheik?

Add me to the list. On the proviso of an advantageous trade of course. How are we going to land a big fish like Treloar or Shiels. We aren't exactly blessed with depth are we? Having said that, happy for Murphy to stay but not as captain. One of many poor decisions made by the football department.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Blues by 40.

A win is a win is a win. Good to hear the song.

Yes, we were ordinary for about half a game.

Things to celebrate. Henderson kicking a bag. Cripps dominant. Buckley providing drive. Bell hitting the scoreboard repeatedly.

Half a bag! I know it isn't the glory years for forwards, but have we lowered the standards by that much?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Can't wait until we have a quality ruck starting and Kruez and Warnock are going to make a HUGE difference in the coming weeks.

Cripps is a GUN.

Very solid effort after a poor start and great win boys.

Gotta say that for all the faults that Warnock has with his ground work, second efforts and forward attempts, the thought of him tapping it down to Cripps is... delicious!

 

[lachie charm]

Something that shocked me today was just how poor many of St. Kilda's heralded younger players are. They've been talked up to being almost as good as the Western Bulldogs youth. Today our unheralded and largely overlooked youngsters tore theirs a new arsehole.

It's going to be a long few years at St. Kilda.

Nah, list management & recruiting expert Wayne Carey says otherwise

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Half a bag! I know it isn't the glory years for forwards, but have we lowered the standards by that much?

Probably. Heard quite a bit of analysis last year about what constitutes a bag in modern football.

If not, it's a throwaway line introducing the post match discussion. Let's not be pedantic.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Votes on the radio

3: Henderson
2: Murphy
1: Bell

No Crippa

What radio was that? More like Cripps, Murphy, Hendo, with special mention to Bell. Murphy and Cripps had similar numbers, but Cripps had 11 tackles and was much more influential on the game.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Who would have predicted a 40 point win.

TL15?

 

[Stubbie Holder]

Cripps... That is all.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Tony Lynn apparently

I've got to catch up on posts before I reply. Haven't been on all day. Trying to catch up on posts, but seem to be repeating a few things that are already said.
