But the good teams generally don't do it. They back themselves in. Hawks and Pies let him do his thing, and I suspect Brisbane and Dogs will be the same. Maybe Berry goes to him as a defensive mid, but Berry will still play his own game to get the ball. Port might tag him though. That's what shit sides do.

Sorry for your loss - I’m sure your son was banging pots and pans in spirit
It was freezing. The crowd was too busy shivering. I think the players felt it somewhat too. It was gusty with plenty of flour bag kicks.
Thankfully goal kicking was accurate.

Clark especially but Ryan/Worner/Cox kept us in it in the first half. Jacko was also so important all game.
Carlton were amazingly switched on. They were always going to run out of puff given their record. And we were always going to get stronger given ours.
The goal kicking all round was amazing given the conditions.
I am SO HAPPY that we finally have a reliable forward line. It is so exciting.
Unfortunately it looks like poor Young is going to be dogged by the soft-tissue menace. This badly sucks for him, for the team and for BigFooty.
I don't know what JLo did at HT to get Serong off the chain but it worked. JLo, please take not and DO IT AGAIN. EARLIER.
Jeepers the umpiring bordered on flat out cheating at times. And then at the end they gave us a couple of dodgy ones. Were they just trying to cover their tracks once it was clear that we'd beaten both them and Carlton?
Anyhow, at the start in the conditions I was hoping for a 30+ point win so I might enjoy a celebration tonight with the mrs.

Worner has really come into his own! Happy with how he has come on this season
Freezing which for me in England is 25 degrees. Looking forward to being a sweaty mess when I move back at the end of the year.

Carlton have been a hard team for us and it was freezing at the game. Happy to bank the points.

Condolences for your loss Neesh.
Thoughts with you and the family.
Never doubted Bolton for a 2nd, also great when we struggle.
really impressive how he gets the contested ball, or does a clean pass or kicks a goal when we need him. I 100% love him

We needed to get close in the third quarter and we did. I was confident we could come out on top in the fourth. Loved wharfie time coming on after Dudley’s goal. Then we got another soon after.

Thx for sharing that with us.
I thought it was a poor enough performance to be honest.
Positives were we got the win, amiss Treacy and Voss grew into the game and cox was excellent.
Let’s be clear though - this was a bad Carlton side. They were missing Curnow, Walsh, Cerra, Silvagni and a bunch of others.
I thought they had a much better attitude than us for most of the game. Flinging themselves into tackles and contests in a superior manner to most of our lads actually. That’s on the coaches and players jointly.
It was the significant talent differential between the sides that finally shone through. Several of their fringe players just butchered gettable set shots in the second half that would have made it very tense at the end.
I think the team needs a shakeup at selection. A couple of guys were terrible today. Frederick won’t be dropped but wow he shanked some contests today. Jury very much out on whether a player like that can deliver in finals.
the fumbling that was evident from so many players is also frustrating. Are they tuned in mentally to these games?
The likes of Geelong, Dogs, Brisbane will just pile on goals in rapid succession when we are in these sleepy phases of games where the players are fumbling and off the pace. Thats the difference between them and sides like Carlton, north and saints who let us off the hook in those scenarios.
Also the tagging of Serong will ultimately cost us in the finals if we get there. Are there any signs that the team and him is improving in dealing worth these hard tags? Not so sure.
We get away with him being tagged out for half a game against a bottom 6 side but finals teams won’t be so generous.
Need to beat port next week first and hopefully results will guarantee us a top 8 place from there.
If we were to be the side that finished 9th it would do mare damage to our development and mentality than some other clubs who have more proven records in finals.

Voss continues to impress. Our Voss, by the way. Not the under pressure Carlton coach.
I thought both had massive last quarters for us

To the Carlton board! If I don't return, remember that I lived.
Funniest thing about Schoey is that he acts like he wants Freo to do well. But when the whips are cracking and Freo are making a comeback, you can hear it in his voice. He hates us
