Review Round 18, 2025 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Thursday games boo.

 

[rye]

gutted for answerth

 

[p4p1]

Gonna be hard to pick just 5.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Successfully banked

 

[martinson]

Blues came to play tonight.

Happy with the outcome.

 

[p4p1]

Based on that performance, it’s hard to drop Fort for O and it’s harder to run 2 rucks again IMO.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Thought Hugh was the most influential in the first 3 quarters

A very good team effort by the midfielders in spite of the rucks

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Our back line disposal efficiency is wild. 4x100% 1x90% 1x85%

 

[Thedeftouch]

3 votes Dunkley - superb all-around game (13 tackles!)
2 votes Wilmot - was absolutely everywhere... 31 disposals and 14 marks both surely career highs
1 vote Neale - excellent ball use as always... also nice to have 8 tackles

Rayner, W Ashcroft, Fletcher, Berry and others up there too

 

[p4p1]

Had to be Dunks.

 

[rye]

'honour to win the first one of these'

lmao

Fages has the blueprint to show the forwards now. This is the pressure you need to apply and you’ll get your rewards that come with it.

Such a shame about Noah and it could potentially be a bigger loss than maybe we think right now. Does open up an opportunity now for a few guys back there so the ressies game will be interesting.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Dunkley winning the Robert Walls medal just makes sense. Throw him into the ruck.

Shattered for Answerth. He's been so good for us and will leave a huge hole in our backline. Payne and now Answerth out means or backline is looking thin.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Had to be Dunks.

Got a decent pantsing by Cripps when the game was hot IMO

 

[Thedeftouch]

'honour to win the first one of these'

lmao

lol yeah he didn't seem overly enthused

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Dunkley, Neale, Berry, Wilmot and Rayner for my 5 best. The onballers destroyed Carlton out of the middle. Wilmot didn't put a foot wrong all night. Rayner seems to get stronger each week and bulldoze more defenders.

Comfortable win. Loved the emphasis on effort areas, especially tackling.

Hugh has become our best and most influential player. Absolutely superb.

 

[redblueandgold]

Bailey is unbelievable..brilliant one week then absolutely putrid tonight. Cost us at least 6 to 8 goals tonight either direct or indirectly. Eric a liability again..

 

[MacMum]

Was thoroughly enjoying the game until that last qtr.......so frustrating and they do it so often

 

[Happy_Neale]

Dunkley far and away BOG, went head to head with Cripps and beat him convincingly. 28 touches with 13 tackles shows how good he is as a two way mid. He doesn’t always have to be defensive but for some reason people think he didn’t play well if the oppositions best mid also gets some of the ball

 

[Sproj]

Dunkley winning the Robert Walls medal just makes sense. Throw him into the ruck.

Shattered for Answerth. He's been so good for us and will leave a huge hole in our backline. Payne and now Answerth out means or backline is looking thin.

Yeah these sorts of injuries can add up. If we keep running Andrews and Lester as our KPDs, it makes sense to bring in Doedee.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Based on that performance, it’s hard to drop Fort for O and it’s harder to run 2 rucks again IMO.

Also hard to see why Day is a better option than Fort IMO. Tough calls to be made

Dunkley, Neale, Berry, Wilmot and Rayner for my 5 best. The onballers destroyed Carlton out of the middle. Wilmot didn't put a foot wrong all night. Rayner seems to get stronger each week and bulldoze more defenders.

Good point on Wilmot. His decision making with the ball is excellent - he only bombs long when the short options are dangerous.

I don't want Voss to get fired.
