Watching replay. Forgot about RoBs quick attacking handball to set up Fog's goal.

That's as rare as Unicorn Poo.
Well he absolutely pantsed the $2 million dollar man Dekoning all night and that went a long way towards our midfield curtailing Carlton's mids output.

Carlton were awful tonight. Should have punished us for messing around in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and then just shut up shop.

Almost all Crows played well. I always think it's instructive when you've had a big win to look at who didn't play well.

Thilthorpe was poor, but that's to be expected given his fingers. Held up his end, anyway.

Walker was poor, just trying to do too much. The stationary fend-offs don't work, mate.

Keays with a poor game by his standards, albeit did a couple of decent things in the second half.

Nankervis just alright prior to being subbed. He has more to offer.

Pretty much everyone else played at or above their level.

How do you play above your level?

Nankervis just alright, c'mon Stabby he was awful, rabbit in the spotlights every time he had the ball in his hands,

Let's not go overboard about this game, Carlton give up very very easily when it gets tough

That and for some reason Voss turns to water against Nicks when other coaches don't

With that said we were gifted these huge advantages and fully capitalised which was nice
 
I like that Milera stepped up the hardness in Hinge's absence.

If he did that himself credit to him. If a coach asked him to do that, credit there.
Milera was terrific. And Rory Laird - was sensational. Several clutch interceptions marks and just was everywhere down back. Reminiscent of his AA days

The song they play when Smith gets a goal
Didn’t expect to ever hear it! I thought that Smith played well. Hard, courageous and contributed to fast ball movement. A few glimpses of 2017 in his kicking (which was terrible in 2023-24).

Only dud only the night was Nankervis who was rightly subbed. Too often tries to duck and weave out of congestion and gets caught HTB. He’s a fair intercept mark but a liability for quick ball movement.

Laird’s looking good in defence this year.

Butts essentially made McKay a 100% non factor. There is a lot of value in that for me.
Butts is a great 1v1 defender and always has been. He's not an interceptor who will provide attack, but you can trust him to nullify his opponent most times. He blanketed Hogan last year. It's ridiculous that Borlase was given first preference over him

I think wevare starting to see how good Milera can be.

Injury has killed him. He was a brilliant junior footballer.

Solid body and plays hard. With great positioning.

I don't know what to make of tonight.
How on Earth did Carlton beat Geelong last week?
I mean, a 10-goal win is great but I can't help but wonder which Crows side is gonna show up next week :grimacing: .

There are teams that just match up well on others. Port have the Hawks, Carlton and the Saints have Geelong, we have Carlton etc.
