Was half tempted to fly down for this one.
Might have to settle for watching it on tv.

I disagree.
There was talent there but we were always underpowered in the midfield. Cripps was at half rat-power and that left Walsh and Ed Curnow to do the heavy lifting.
A Brownlow level Cripps plus Walsh and then 2 more guns like Cerra and Hewett transforms the midfield from below par to competition leading.
And so much of what we've done this season is off the back of the midfield plus Curnow who hadn't played in 2 years.
In terms of the talented list I agree but it wasn't on the field for 2 years.
We're probably a gun ruckman short of a premiership list now. That patient list build from SOS is now paying off.
It's such a joke. The MCC is fully ticketed for another couple of rounds. When I went to secure seats a few days ago they only had a handful of seats in one bay of level 4 available, so I took what I could get. Then they open up other bays.

Would just love to see that. And to top it all off, he gives the Collingwood cheer squad the 'Marc Murphy' experience as he slams through his 3rd for the afternoon...
No doubt Cripps is back to his best, but he missed (almost) 2 games, and has played 2 in a different role, rucking around the ground. Walsh missed round 1, and has taken a while to get back to his best. Cerra missed a game, Hewett 2.
The additions have boosted us, but so much more of it is due to our set-ups at stoppage, and the way we play with handball.
We have more mids getting more possessions, but a lot of this is due to how we handball away from the contest, there's more possessions to receive.

Look at how many key players we have out now...
Last year we would struggle against this year's Eagles side... in fact, we lost to their WAFL side last year anyway let's not forget...
How long did Teague keep blokes in the side when they didn't deserve it? How many new players did he bring in? He hung onto the older statesmen hoping they could turn back the clock.
Both Cripps and Cerra were below their best v Sydney too...
Last year Walsh was having impact on games every week... only just started to build now.
Sure if we had Hewett, Charlie and Cerra last year we would've won maybe a couple more games but we wouldn't be anywhere near top3 at the half way point.
The game plan was extremely flawed. Selection integrity was inconsistent at best and the direction was heading nowhere. We basically relied on individual brilliance from a handful of players each week to keep us in games.
All of that has changed.
Can you honestly see us putting up horse shit performances like we did last year v Eagles, Giants (half the team didn't lay a tackle at half time), Norf, Port, Pies, Suns etc? No way player personnel was going to make much of a difference to the application in those games.

It's no secret I loved Murph but that's the moment he solidified himself as a Carlton legend to me. What a moment haha. He just understood what it meant to be Carlton.$900 fine worth every cent!

Exactly. Numbers around the contest... how many times did we look outnumbered last year? This year it's the opposite...
Although there were all those times we weren't outnumbered around the contest, and the ball would come out to a free opponent who would waltz the ball into the forward 50 and deliver it lace out under no pressure

Same with training standards, communication and 'belief' in those structures and gameplan.
Same problem for me and still a problem for the * game. I think that is the end of full ticketing. They wonder why crowds are down that is a big part. I usually just drop in for a few neutral games a year but are not motivated enough to go on the ticketing site for a neutral game.
Yeah for a game like this just bite the bullet and announce fully ticketed early
Round 12 there is walk-up seating

Pies have been pretty good this year. Will be a tough contest.
As Voss would say - CONNECTION
Watched most of the Pies Freo match last night. Game was played on a lake with water laying on the ground in spots when the game started. Freo over possessed the ball in the wet and got beaten back to the Pies goal on turnover. Cox being subbed off was a huge benefit to the Pies as his height wasn't needed and Henry popped up to kick 4.
Pies pressure was really high so we will need to bring the intensity. Play our game and we win comfortably.

How's the weather looking Sunday?
Beauty I really want to exploit these pricks, although I reckon we'd still win well in a slog too.
