What we learnt from Round 7 demolition of Carlton!

[Rors]

1. Blake - awesome efforts 2 weeks in a row... should get to run with Big Cox this wk
2. Milney's Magicians (Milne, Saad, Milera) are the new "Setanta's little helpers"
3. Rhys Stanley - please hold this form!
4. Shutting down the supreme outside ball users is the key.... Expect close attention to be paid to Rosa (Montagna), Hurn (Armitage), Waters (Ray) this week v WCE
5. Although Jones had 2 less possessions than MMurphy, Jones was far more damaging.... Go Figure?!?!? Should get DK this week


Go Sainters!!!!

I learned that now Ross Lyon has moved on, Saints' games are once again entertaining to watch.

and fremantle game's are now hard to watch.

its a wonder that Ro$$ has no other game plans

1 It is possible to have even less respect for BT then I did before the game
2 Window? We don’t need no stinking window. Lenny will simply smash though the wall
3 My low opinion of Carlton’s fibre is correct
4 Thommo was not totally incorrect in relation to ruckmen. Hitouts are almost meaningless, clearances are what count.
5 Stanley could be very effective in a complex role as part time ruck & part time half forward
6 There is life left in Milne’s legs yet & our search for a replacement may be complete
7 If you slow down the entry of the ball & force them to go long & high to the pocket. Any defence that tries their best regardless of how outmatched they may appear on paper will stand up
8 It is grand to be a tough fearsome team again without having to be boring
9 I was wrong when I mentally wrote us off after the Hawthorn game
10 I am never satisfied. Give us more. West Coast beware, here we come

1. Milera isn't at full steam yet. Which makes him all the more scary. Could have kicked 6.
2. A forward line of Kosi AND Roo AND Stanley AND Wilkes is just unnecessary.
3. A commentary team of Darcy AND Taylor AND Richardson is utterly abominable.

1. Richo is my favourite commentator!

2. Lenny Hayes - it has all been said but I still want to say it. The epitome of grunt.

3. Stanley is getting better. Just need to win a few more taps to advantage which wil come.

4. Joey needs to be taught how to kick straight. I was dissapointed with his game.

5. Jones is a strange one. Played a blinder but I still wonder if we can get somebody with a second side instead.

6. Reiwoldt needs a bag of 5. His last quarter was good. Hope he builds on it.

7. Wonder Soap is the most exciting thing since Gilbert Macadam!

I luv ya, saucy, but "Players find it harder to kick goals when the poles are taller!"

I mean, now, c'mon!

Very funny in Lenny's post game interview on SEN. They were saying when he comes on the show, they get tons of really mushy tweets from OPPOSITION fans about how great he is. MALE fans keep saying they'd turn for him, etc. Very funny.

That makes sense on a psychological level! I just like his straightforward style. You compare him to Dunstall or Bruce M for instance...

I loved it when a Carlton bloke had a pretty easy set shot for goal, missed, and Richo immediately said, "the posts were too tall for him"

I was really hoping for some Blues resistance to this. Did I get it too right to allow any arguement?
