20 possies and 11 tackles

I have no idea how people can ring up on the radio and bag him. Solid throughout the day and did well.

11 tackles is huge! Considering the closest player had 6 i think?

I'm not sure if he will suit Subiaco this week, but should play every game in Melb.....is definitely an important part of our future structure....

He is definitely running harder this year and has increased his speed after a pre-season injury.

He's tackling is super.....we don't need every player to have blistering pace and speed, we do need some players that are in and under and doing the hard and tuff stuff!

I wonder if the 11 tackles had anything to do with being second to the ball and laying a tackle on his man...mmm, interesting concept isn't it.

I was at the game and didn't rate his performance at all. That's looking at how he influenced each contest, not stats. Just my opinion.

because u have no clue, AB was very good today, did u ever think he was second to the ball because we got smashed in the hit outs, got smashed in the clearances, when u got a ruckman feeding the pill down your throat, its hard to get there before they do!

if you have no clue, and just have a biased opinion, then please don't post, you make a fool of not only yourself, but the Carlton board.

So you know me right? No, you don't. I'm not biased. I simply watched the game and expressed MY opinion: "An opinion is a person's ideas and thoughts towards something. It is an assessment, judgment or evaluation of something. An opinion is not a fact, because opinions are either not falsifiable, or the opinion has not been proven or verified". This was simply based on what I saw, not because I am a "hater" of any particular player.

But of course because you have a different opinion, you must be right? Don't tell me I am a disgrace to this board. I am not pushing my opinion onto anyone else or starting a thread about it.

Another interesting thing is how much you notice when you are looking for something. Ever come away from a game and are surprised to find out later how well an opposition player played - the same can be true of our own (ask BlueBear if I didn't miss Jammo's efforts against Richo LOL). I am AB's 'buddy' this year and can tell you it is true - sometimes we can be a little rose coloured in our vision but you definitely see things you would not otherwise (bit like watching your own kid's play)

Am a little surprised at the 11 ! tackles and plan to watch it again to see how influential they were but one thing I remember is that they were most definitely not just laid on his opponent and were often in pack/bounce situations where being second out of maybe six (beating all other Carlton players for openers) is not too bad, especially to a losing ruck.

Russell with 9
Browne with 6

I just thought he was great around the stoppages. Did well to hold the ball in considering the amount of ball that was being fed to the Adelaide rovers.
