Kudos to coach Voss in getting them up for the game. Personally I think that I’m fire they showed was temporary after the Cripps appeal and such a poor showing the two weeks previous.
To come with the same intent two weeks in a row would belie their current ladder position and season form.
I’m less confident of them doing this next week as I was for the Melb game.
But you never know, it would be a big development moment for them if they did.
Carltons bottom 6 is garbage. Its used to be a bottom 12 , but now it's a bottom 6. Hopefully next year it will only be a bottom 2. The list build is improving. Blues will be ok in a year or 2 when they are expected to have a realistic crack a flag. Natural improvement was all the club ever asked of the group from last year - they have achieved that.

No difference IF we play Melbourne, but we could also play Brisbane if we finish 3rd if they win next week. That is undesirable (even if they are unconvincing)

I thought Voss had Goodwin in his back pocket for that last quarter. Carlton controlled the quarter with the majority of it played in their half, Demons struggled to get forward of centre at all, and the Blues just failed to ice it. Melksham taking that mark in between 3 Carlton defenders is not a coaching issue.

Yeah, that's on the players for sure. Fatigue, pressure, tightening up. Carlton don't seem to be good at it.

It was definitely (in my opinion) the on-field leadership that let Carlton down. I don't want to be a boastful Pies fan, but in tight situations our leaders are consistently making good decisions
Voss has them playing a hard, tough style in contests.
Which is not a bad thing. It's a strength that will get you over plenty of teams.
But I'm not seeing heaps outside of that.
I'm feeling a bit of a one dimension vibe.

You also have to ask how many injuries they had. Not Carlton related but if one team is full strength and another has 5 injuries then you are comparing a bottom 6 compared to a bottom 11.
Last night Carlton were missing 4 best 22 players, Melbourne 1? You would naturally expect our bottom 6 to be weaker as it’s not even a proper comparison.

These sort of heart breakers are all part of the journey to glory. Half of Richmond's dynasty were humiliated by Carmichael f**king Hunt
Blues list is IMO easily the scariest in terms of potential. As others have pointed out, get a bit more class in the bottom 6-10 players, tune the game-plan & all of sudden I can see them rampaging

Biggest myth in football.
It's amazing how good or bad a bottom 6 looks, when your top 6 is either really good, or really bad.

Hawks in 2014 were smashed by injuries and even lost the coach for 5 games.
The fact we batted so deep is why we did well.

This has been talked about on here. You had the majority of your injuries when you played the poor sides in the middle of the season. Didn’t have to play a top 8 side when you had those half a dozen or so injuries
The heat hasn't really been on him until the last few weeks and he doesn't seem to be getting the response you'd want:
R16 (5th) - L to St Kilda (10th) by 15 points
R17 (5th) - W over West Coast (17th) by 63 points
R18 (5th) - L to Geelong (1st) by 30 points
R19 (7th) - W over GWS (15th) by 36 points
R20 (7th) - L to Adelaide (16th) by 29 points
R21 (7th) - L to Brisbane (5th) by 33 points
R22 (7th) - L to Melbourne (3rd) by 5 points
R23 - TBD with Collingwood
Couldn't agree more. Castagna is a 3 time premiership player. Enough said.
You want to hope that things go your way next week mate or this post might come back to bite you on the bum.

Look. still a very real possibility of Carlton making finals, but apparently winning finals is the main aim of playing / following AFL clubs, os so I am told

Mitchell, Gibson and Rioli all missed 8 or 10 games.
A number of other players missed a bunch of games at different times.
I dont think our draw saw us playing 8 or 10 easy games in a row.

As fun as it is to rag on Carlton, even if they miss the finals they've shown enough to suggest they will be a force over the next few years.
They're definitely moving in the right direction.
