Being at the game, the Carlton supporters were smug and full of themselves. Heard one supporter say "anything less than 100 point win is a loss". When they were 41 points up, they were high fiving themselves "Voss is a genius", "Richmond have another 2-3 spoons". I'm a realist - I love our club and I'm grateful for the 3 flags and I hope oppo supporters will one day win multiple flags and have that same feeling we do. So I'm here for the kids - and I love my club.

But the tune quickly changed - 2 goals 7 behinds in almost 70 minutes of footy.

Collingwood supporters are the experts on blaming everyone and everything except themselves when they lose. Add Carlton supporters. The love for their "brand" changed to absolute hate in the second half. They hate the umps, hate the coach, hate the players and we are just "lucky". While enjoying the comeback, I thought that with Q4 3:30 on the clock, they were still a chance, and WE needed them to kick a goal to get it back the centre. But the Carlton supporters were already leaving in droves.

One thing I did notice - While we were coming back, the bench rotations were Carlton 48 and Richmond 42. It is never like that - they are always 2-3 - maybe 4 in difference. We were not going to run out of legs - and we finished HARD.

This morning, I had the thought that our rebuild has direction and purpose. We are not a rabble - we have GREAT kids, good coaches and LOYAL veterans that are crucial in our kids developing.

Still have Balta, Gibcus, Lefau, Prestia, Young, Hottton, Ralphsmith, MRJ and Clarke returning and we will cycle in Smillie, Faull, Fawcell, Sims, McAuliffe & Ryan.

But the standard has been set. We will cop beatings as expected, but I think this year is all about getting games and development into the kids and ruining other teams' finals chances. Could not have started with a better team to beat.

I had some fwit gold coast fan on Facebook saying richmond members were bandwagoners. Pointed to member stats last 2 years.....he never never replied.
I would have stopped reading at gold coast
 
carlton have a strong spine but the periphery is trash. by the time they fix that (if ever) the spine will be cooked. they're as far away from a flag as ever. I wonder what Cody Walker was thinking after the match.

Look, it was an encouraging win. But it was only Carltwelfth, the most mediocre collection of spuds since Essendank last won trade week.

Yes, Sam Lalor announced himself as a player of rare talent, skill, strength and poise, and will probably win four Norm Smiths.

Sure, Luke Trainor looked like he'd played 100 games, and will play 300 more.

I know Harry Armstrong has nads as big, hard and shiny as a new Kookaburra from each end.

But **** me dead. Look what they were up against.

Lachie Kemp, is it? Brodie Plowman? Spudley Potato? What a dud. And the other bloke who's exactly the same. Cowpat.
Cottrell? Shittruck.
Acres: of potatoes.
The terrified rabbits Folding Cerra and Saaaad. Footsteps Docherty makes Jayden Short look like Nick Vlastuin.
The cheat Cripps. If only throwing the ball were against the rules someone might pay a free kick against him 14 times a game.
SOS? More like LOLS. Tries hard. No good.
Hewett. 'Meh' is too glamorous for him.
Walsh: How to wreck a #1 draft pick. They paid a mint for a well-bred, slightly built colt and ran him in every two-mile race on heavy 9s they could find for winter after winter and wonder why their supposed Ferrari runs like a paddock Cortina that hasn't had an oil change in a decade.
Hollands. He should try coke. Might give him a personality. Bland footballer.
Haynes: Even when he was good he was shit, and now he's 50. What a recruit.
McFatso. If footballs were donuts he might catch one.
Cooper Lord? Lachlan Fogarty? Are these AFL footballers? Are they even real names? I think you're making them up. Would they get a game for Werribee?
Francis Evans. Did they trade Owies and think this bloke could give them 30+ goals a season? LOL.

LOL Carlton. What a shit club. Scum. Thirty years since they've been allowed to cheat, the only way they've ever been able to win. They ain't winning anything with this bucket of spuds. Thirty will become 40. No doubt in my mind. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of motherlovin shiteating criminals. Go **** yourselves.
Would've won if Jagganaught was playing.
 
Spot the difference ,

Last years midfield lead by 5"2 bakes , half assed Bolton and a draught horse in graham

Last night TT, Hopper and Rossy had 80p between them and 3G

Prob played all together 4 x last year
Bolton is no big loss. Great player when he wants to be, but would go missing far too often. Unreliable in front of goal, undisciplined and inconsistent. A bit of a showboater too. He's the last type of player we need when we're rebuilding.

im the oracle, said we'll win all week
I said this in the preview thread on Wednesday night! "He better not or I'll throw a digital brick at the campaigner! Quietly confident, the Tiges by 8 points. Pressure is on the Blews & we get to have a free swing. Let Lynch & Nank play nasty & let the kids do the rest! We aren't as bad as people think, no one of any substance crosses the line & expects to lose. We will learn a lot tomorrow night on where we're at! " At the ground last night & I seen some substance! A long way to go that's for sure but it's a start!! EAD Carlton!

First gamer Lalor already offers more in the forward line than Bolton.
