I'll get slaughtered here by the swingers.
But sometimes it has to be said;
Unless he is one of the best small forwards ever, Eddie Betts will not get 5 goals and 15 possesions in a match. You gotta laugh that the one game he will get such high numbers, was against us. It speaks volumes and yet says nothing. It shows that we don't have good small defenders to compliment our KPDs. It says nothing because the whole match was an abberation.
Mitch Robinson looks a good prospect, but he'll have a lot of games where he isn't too effective or even much good - every player does in their first few year. He made us look silly at times. Speaks volumes that a first gamer can have a harder intensity than us. It says nothing because the whole match was an abberation. Plenty of examples of both Carlton playing well well well above themselves, and plenty of examples of Richmond playing well below themselves. A lot of that has to be credited to Carlton, and they proved a lot of Richmond fans wrong last night. But if the 15-odd players that usually play better lifted to match the 5 or so that played around their average mark, then the game would have been completely different. Slag off all the players you want, but come next week it will be forgotten. I'm not saying we're gonna come out next week and win, cos' we probably won't. But gt a grip on things - think of the game as another abberation like the Adelaide debacle last year. We came out the next week I think to beat Hawthorn. That shut the swingers up...
Sometimes you just gotta' laugh. Eveything that could go wrong did go wrong for us; everything that could go right did go right for Carlton. Hopefully we've used up our unluckiness and only have lucky tickets left for a while.
