Universal Love Best Individual performance from a Carlton player

[chelseacarlton]

That goal where he shaped his way through 2 tackles rather than initiate contact, which he likes to do and kicked the inside out goal, not many have those skills.
In fact, only Patrick has those skills and I ain’t talkin’ fall over Dangerfield!

 

[WFGodot]

I’ve already said this is one of the great individual games I’ve seen. He was amazing against Collingwood a few weeks back. Kouta did some ridiculous things in the prelim 99, and I think he marked everything against west coast one day a couple of years before that.
Fev on song was special, remember that day against Essendon?
Bradley had days out as did Williams and Judd.
Most important it is not about pure numbers but context. His physicality and will to carry sides makes this 24 year old all the more impressive.
That he plays in an inexperienced team makes him all the more visible.
We are blessed to have him.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Kouta had 38 and 5 vs North for Ratten's 200th in 2000.

Just scored and created things at will that day.

Is that the game he played a qtr at chb a qtr on the ball and 2 on the fwd line?

 

[thebluelagoon]

put the team on his shoulders today and hauled them over the line... Herculean

Well, best for a while anyway. Sticks had plenty of 20 touch, 7-8 goal, 7000 mark games. Williams had a better GF. Kouta you could choose half a dozen, Kreuzer coming back from injury in Sydney.

But bloody hell, glad he's ours.

trawling through some of the stats (and my memory)

ratten 30 pos 6 goals, round 6 2000
camporeale 26 pos 7 goals, round 18 1996
johnston 43 pos 5 goals, round 1 1984
johnston 26 pos 6 goals, round 4 1987
gleeson 33 pos 5 goals, round 4 1988
gleeson 28 pos 6 goals, round 18 1988
koutoufides 38 pos 5 goals, round 11 2000
williams 31 and 5 in the 95 gf. once kicked a lazy 6 in a 53 possession game for sydney.

Duncan's match - depending on the stats keeper somewhere between 33 and 45 marks in a time when a mark was a mark - http://www.blueseum.org/Round+9,+1927 .

Best I've seen is hard to say but Kouta put together a few.

Round 5 1996 - Kouta vs West Coast.

At the end of the game, the crowd chanted Kouta Kouta Kouta. It was incredible.

 

[Prem17]

For me, the best ever was Judd's performance in the slush pit at the SCG on the Royal wedding night years ago (2011). We hadn't won there for years and his performance was outstanding.
What Cripps did yesterday, especially considering the context of our season, will probably never be repeated.
It was the best all round game I have ever seen.
No cheap possessions, hard tackles, important marks, goals, clearances, inside 50's, flying the flag when our young guys were shoved around and all when we looked like we were going to be annihilated.

Round 5 1996 - Kouta vs West Coast.

At the end of the game, the crowd chanted Kouta Kouta Kouta. It was incredible.

This. WC were almost unbeatable at the time and fielded a team that was stacked from front to back with some of the best players of that decade.
He was a colossus that day!

A few personal faves - Rhino and DeIulio 1992?? comeback against the Saints at PP both kicking 3 - 4 goals and electrifying the crowd.
Laurence Angwin 2003 pre-season game v Geelong at PP. He did it all that day. Up there with Kouta v WC
Mil Hanna destroying Gary Ablett playing full back when GA was at his absolute prime (mid 90's).
1999 PF Kouta
Judd v Swans.
SOS going forward kicking about 10 vs Fitzroy early 90s when we turned a half time deficit into a 100 point win.

Before my time - but I believe Jezza had a 6 goal, 10 minute rampage playing centre against the Dons at PP one day a long time ago.

I've watched plenty of footy and Cripps v Brisbane would be Top 10

 

[footyfan1978]

Thought this needed it’s own thread after the performance from our captain today. It would be up there with the best iv’e seen from a Carlton player.........thoughts?

Maybe in top twenty in my time of watching. Dominator, David McKay, Jezza, Doull, Sticks, Diesel, Hunter and Kouta played same crazy ass games I seen although the Jezza ones I seen on video not live.Big Nick, well before my time would have played some amazing games as the likes of Soapy Vallence must have done too.

 

[footyfan1978]

Dominator in Rd1 1980 was special.

Lit it up with 7 goals at a seething Vic Park in the GF replay when the Pies were red hot favorites after the upheaval of losing Jezza and we'd been shizen in losing all practice matches.

Round one was crazy ass of 84 too. Think he had around 40 kicks, gave off a heap of goals to new full forward Warren Ralph on his debut and snagged about 5 goals of his own.

Round 5 1996 - Kouta vs West Coast.

At the end of the game, the crowd chanted Kouta Kouta Kouta. It was incredible.

Yes!!!! Awe-inspiring game by Kouta that day.

And the game against North in 2000 was perhaps even more preposterous.

Legendary games by the great Kouta.

Was there!

 

[perthblue]

juddy virtuoso performance in the wet in Sydney stands out for me.
but cripps yesterday was a memorable performance, made me so happy.
fev had a lot of fantastic individual performances as well.

 

[perthblue]

special mention to Nick Duigan in the EF v Richmond

 

[agro]

Before my time - but I believe Jezza had a 6 goal, 10 minute rampage playing centre against the Dons at PP one day a long time ago.

There might be some YouTube of that somewhere - legendary.

 

[Coops93]

Fev vs Essendon in the comeback was special, Judd at Sydney was as well

But I think Cripps' takes the cake, given the circumstances. 1 and 10 team playing a top 5 team, coach was just sacked and in one of the worst teams ever he does that!? It was Herculean

 

[Kruezing]

I came here to mention this performance.

Pretty sure he spent some of the match playing on some spud called Wayne Carey and took him to the cleaners.




Probably a bit harsh calling Carey a spud. Will probably go down in history as the second best ever AFL player to wear #18

Third if you include Walsh after Justin Murphy ...

 

[Curnivore]

Cripps still hasn't had a game as great as Koutas best couple but his form this year if continued could overtake koutas purple patch form on consistency.

 

[ferrisb]

Third if you include Walsh after Matthew Watson...

Reminded me of Judd, that goal Crippa kicked.

 

[haveago]

"Delicate" David Rhys Jones 87 GF game on Dermott. Not the super stats but a phenomenal effort for the Norm Smith . What a game, what a player.
And when he had his pub in Carlton it had the best dim sims I ever had. Good onya Rhys.
