[The Old Dark Navy's]

Our 4th win, not convincing but beggars can't be choosers. We got the job done with some names missing.

Carlton 16.13.109
Port 14.7.91

 

[Bradschi]

got the job done.
another game with plenty to work on for the upcoming week.
congratulations to the milestone players in Scotland, Walker and Murphy.
celebrate today and tomorrow move on to next week again.
well done boys

 

[Cazbah]

Gibbs, Carrots, Betts and Yaz all starting 10-12 players and all missing.

Not a bad grind after a few short breaks.

 

[T2B_]

Happy with the win. Obvious issues, but also a bit to like.

Cachia and Bell are monsters and each bring something to the table, Bell in particular as a goalkicker.

Bootsma had a better game.

Didn't get to see much of Menz or give him much of a chance for that matter, but we got to see his tackle prowess and natural skill.

Murph makes a handy small forward.

 

[Sin City]

Great stuff from Henderson, Murphy and Garlett. Garlett is one of the best forwards in the league at the moment.

Young blokes Cachia, Bootsma and Bell showing a bit.

Judd being Judd.

Curnow very good.

Carlton 16.12.108
Port 13.7.85

Missed it unfortunately.
Who were some of your better players today?

A workman like effort is about as complimentary as I can be about that game.

Plenty of turnovers gifted to us some easy scores. Waite provided a good focal point but Kreuzer has to kick more accurately. Solid performances from most but nothing outstanding from anyone really except Murphy.

Good to get a win missing key players but I really hope we lift in coming weeks.

Still, gladly take the 4 points and learn from a few things.

Umpires did their best to keep Port in the game. Will be great to bring some class back in next week. Thought it was Robbo's best game for the year and Scotland showed his class with his 2 goals from the paint.
Changes for next week.

Ins: Gibbs, Yarran
Outs: Bootsma, Lucas

Murphy, Henderson, Judd best 3 in my opinion.

Better efforts needed from players like Lucas, Simpson. Disposal questionable and Lucas still doesn't understand the physicality required to be an AFL player..

Wasn't the score 109 to 91?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Thought Kreuzer was terrific today.

Clunked a heap of marks, looked dangerous, couldn't kick over a lolly tin on the set shot mind you.

A win is a win, and that's about it.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Really worried about McLean, Judd and Curnow's ability to defend on the spread because they lack real leg speed to assist in this area. Some of the other mids either get drawn into the contest far too easily or simply pay lip service to defensive pressure.

Opposition teams score far too easily on us regularly.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Murphy, Henderson, Judd best 3 in my opinion.

Thanks mate.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Wasn't the score 109 to 91?

Yep, ODN just trying to boost our %.

 

[T2B_]

On a bad note: umpiring.

Holy hell I know it's bad in general, we all know that, but bloody hell it's like they were trying to keep Port in it.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Good to see Murphy dominate.
I feel like it was 2011 since we've last seen his best.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Wasn't the score 109 to 91?

That's what the TV said yes. Commentators were confused in the last few minutes too. I think you are right. Look at the AFL site though.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Waite and Warnock were both proppy, was at game

 

[Thrawn]

I didn't see the game. How did Jamo go? Is his shoulder OK?

The game is unwatchable, combine poor umpiring or rule interpretations with ordinary skills.....

Thought the Bell 50 metre penalty was a joke, should not of touched the ball but tried to do the right thing and kicked the ball back and the Port player just stuck his arms out without even attempting to mark the ball and conned the umpire big time.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Shoulder fine, played well

Looked like vintage Jamo again.

Agree with the top 3.

Lucas at least tackled today. 2nd best dream team score for Carlton for those who play.

 

[Thrawn]

Thank goodness. I was really worried from last week...

different outlets are reporting different scores and each score falls on either side of the betting line for the match lol
