Definitely was very good. Just clear they'd been given the stat, so were noticing it (as well as mentioning 100 times that he's the best in the comp). He's always good, but this is the first time I've seen this level of commentator adoration.
That is how we were when Eddie took over. Totally broken, and that was only 8 years ion winning a flag. The people spoke by no longer attending and demanding change, and voted Eddie in a landslide. Thankfully, he went out and got Malthouse and we quickly turned it around. For Carlton, they have no faith the hard decisions will be made. And they need the hard calls, they need to shake things up and trade players with currency.I think that the blues board are completely broken. Just from the first page of their autopsy thread:

I already pole vaulted out of bed but this just gave me further high excitement.**** it, the sun is shining, the Pies beat Carlton on a Friday night and I’ve got a 3 day weekend! Time to break it down!
Naicos: 3 votes for me. Feels like the media do everything they can every week to justify why it might be someone else that gets best on or takes votes off Nick. I don’t think Nick as far ahead in the count as some predictors have (my personal one hasn’t got him leading), but I’m starting to get this feel that he wins it this year despite being better last year a la Swan/Judd in 2010/11.
Maynard: He himself said he was a bit rusty, but could’ve fooled me. Just did what Bruzzy does. Competes, brings energy and gets around his team mates for every act that helps the team!
Pendlebury: how is bro 37 and still playing better than 75% of the comp? Calling it now, All-Australian squad at a minimum and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the team (purely because the top teams do tend to get looked at favourably).
DC: Snapper on SEN said that Pittonet monstered him. Finey rightfully pulled him up! Speaking of AA squads, a formality imo. Had an excellent year, hope they can agree on a deal soon.
Jaicos: Another All-Australian contender! The move to half back has absolutely worked, needs to start getting spoken about in the same light as the Bailey Dale’s and Dayne Zorko’s of the world who are pure offence-type defenders. Metres gained and pure kicking game!
McStay: I cross everything that he can see out the rest of the year and hopefully get to play in the flag. The thing that I love about him is his presence and his physicality in the air!
Moore: Without doing too much research, his best game of the year! He has his doubters, but I think people have set the bar too high for him. We don’t need superman Darcy, we need reliability and I think he meets that expectation.
Titch: Welcome back Titch! I won’t get carried away yet, but I’ll enjoy the return and hope that this form from Titch is something he can sustain for 12 weeks. If so, he adds greatly to our midfield!
Sully: Fly said it, this was his best game for our club. Our depth was doubted, he’s one of plenty who are playing their role and contributing to the overall competition for spots!
Elliott: Raising the bat on a career best season from a goals perspective against the arch enemy is a cherry on top! All-Australian lock, think Jeremy Cameron has the Coleman sewn up but we’ve never been about individual awards! Get the man his second flag and I think he’ll be fine.
Quaynor: played his role, can only beat what the oppo gives you. IQ looked like a man amongst boys against those pleb small forwards that Carlton fans have the unfortunate displeasure of watching.
Lipinski: it’s not like I’m breaking an exclusive here, but his kicking inside 50 is divine. Plays his best footy when he’s helping the defenders and getting involved in the chain on counter attack. Has been doing that superbly of late!
Crisp: took a while to get going, but finally hit his stride and his toughness, great run/carry game and long kicking were on display as they are more often than not. Uber consistent and durable.
Membrey: Flourishing as a third option, goalless only twice this year, multiple goals 6 times. These are the sort of list management decisions that win flags.
Mihocek: just battles all night, epitomises the phrase work horse. Give me Mihocek’s career over Curnow’s every day of the week and twice on Sunday’s.
WHE: Hard to be critical of anyone last night, so I’ll spare Will. Started well, my trust in him isn’t rock solid and I don’t think he’s best 22. He is versatile and athletic which works to his advantage!
Long: Interested to see if the return of Titch has a sustained impact on the output of Longy. It’s been the discussion for the last month of both can co-exist in the same side, we’ve got 4 weeks to get a good enough sample size before we settle on how we attack a premiership. Still played his part last night though, I do hope they can make it work, I think they can!
Houston: He never has been a high possession player, I’m not judging him on that number. His kicking is a weapon and we probably don’t use it enough. I think he’s still finding his feet in the system whilst still contributing to the best backline in the comp.
Howe: don’t really have any thoughts on Howey. Barely had to get out of first gear, had the luxury to sub him. We know what he can do, didn’t need it last night!
Perryman: I don’t think he’s quite hit the heights I thought he might this year, but he’s probably the playing the role I thought he would either. At the end of the day, sometimes you just need guys who come to work, earn their money and go home with no fuss. This is Pez!
Steele: 19 disposals on debut, didn’t look out of place at all. I’ve got high hopes for all of our players, but this guy showed some great signs! His kicking surprised me, we’ll see how much of that is down to lack of pressure from Carlton. S how much is pure skill.
Markov: Could be doing a lot worse than to have Leggy as a depth guy. Always brings great energy and his happiness is infectious. Looks like he’s always having fun and that rubs off on those around him!
Parker: Obviously had the licence to just take it on when he did join the game. The race had been run and won, he looks like a smooth mover. Nice to see him get some minutes under the belt.
Anywho, a great start to the weekend. It can all change very quickly and only takes one off weekend in September to end it all, but we can rightfully get excited about what may be. Fingers crossed we can go all the way again! Enjoy your Saturday B&W fam.
Have a ****in great day legendI already pole vaulted out of bed but this just gave me further high excitement.
Is there a sense that your ability to blood new players and bring back Tom Mitchell and still win in a such big manner is a luxury but it also gives you selection pressure in the next few weeks?
Jamie Elliott has kicked 40+ goals in a season for the first time in his career.
You must have been delighted with the performance of Darcy Moore with his marking and closing speed and his ability to cover the ground so much?
That's the build up of that slow defensive game you preserve and then building up to that fast play to give your forwards first opportunity to score.
Is that the perfect blueprint/template of how you want to play, especially in the first three quarters?
You took 22 contested marks in this game, is it something you relish in that you can compete in the air but also on the ground you've got that balance?
Are you feeling for Michael Voss at all given the pressure he's under?
The two of you always talk about how you don't talk in the build up, but will you touch base with him now?
Isaac Quaynor seems to relish being a leader down back and he had 3 contested marks, how have you seen his influence given he flies under the radar compared to other some defenders?
Tom Mitchell made his return. How did you see his performance tonight and how important can he be going forward?
Congrats on qualifying for the finals, but there's still a long way to go. How do you balance between wanting to finish as high as you possibly can, but also managing players?
The performance of Daniel McStay with 4 goals, but his impact on the team since he's returned has really set you in another direction?

It's the non football people on the board that are impatient and ruin the team by putting additional pressure on the football department getting their job done. Carlton went through number 1 picks and premiership coaches and it's all wasted because it wasn't the football department doing the damage, it's the rich stake holders playing politics and putting targets on people's backs if they don't produce results in a short time... it's horrible culture.
Bruce Mathieson put in his 2c worth in the press recently.

At the game I was laughing so hard during that 3rd qtr. Most fun I've had at a Blues match in a long while.
Yeah I watched Dan a lot.That is impressive.
I saw Houston yelling at Bruzzy to get back to the goal square at the Ponsford end
Yes 100% correct, factions within the football department to engineer coach sackings, and its happening again.
