Doc was good as per usual. Was on with Jeremy Howe and the discussion was about coach sackings and how they impact on players as Howe had been through 3 and Doc 4 (ironically the first of these was Voss at Brisbane). Doc was all about keeping a level head as you get older. Went to great lengths to explain that it all fell together early last year but no-one really understood why, had to be stripped down and re-built. He said that our recent poor period will end up being a key part of the Voss and Carlton journey. He had a strong quiet confidence about his belief in the team.

The bride commented that he doesn’t look well, has that really sickly grey skin.
I’m not a fan of the bloke, but he looks really ill to me.
Perhaps we should all ease up a bit on him?

Just watched Doc on AFL360, so impressive as always. Loved his jabs at footy journalism.
Robbo couldn’t take it and kept trying to get back at Doc, but Doc was having none of it!

Robby hasn’t been quite right since he came back. Seems a little breathless at times when talking. Don’t think he’s 100%.

He had a heart attack a year ago. Not sure what I saw is related to that. Could be medication perhaps and/or he just runs out of breath.

He had another 3 or 4 weeks of this year recently with pneumonia I think.
His insurance premiums would be fairly high you'd think.
Off again tonight. Probably sick of Caro getting all the scoops.

He was actually dirty about that. He went with the "rat in the sun's ranks " making out that one board member had leaked info that wasn't true. Turned out that it was.
No love lost between robbo and caro. Took opposite sides of the druggies saga.

Patrick Cripps interview with Gary Lyon on fox footy next Tuesday at 8.30 p.m.
Listening to Gibbs interviewed by Murph, can't help but feel that those young talents failed to get the absolute best of themselves.
Just happy to play in the bright lights with mates, and they were gifted games without doing an apprenticeship.
Not well managed by footy department, talent should only you get you so far, hard work needs to be paramount.

If they got together, would their moniker be “Crabbo”?

This is not a pretty comment.
On First Crack tonight, Kingy, Dicko and Montana had us making the 8
Kingy suggested it would come down to the last game against GWS, with the winner making finals

Eh way too hard to predict this far out, even if I'm optimistic.
We have tough games in Collingwood and Melbourne to come and who knows if we can keep up this intensity and form. A lot hinges on injury luck too...with Mckay especially but in the last few games we've lost Kennedy, Owies, McKay and maybe Boyd...a few more injuries to key players and it'll really hurt.
They showed some key ball movement stats that have changed the last 4 weeks from rounds 1-13.
Corridor use: #5 from #15
Kick forwards %: #6 from #14
Scores from D50 %: #1 from #13
We can see it with our eyes, but the stats show we are being far more aggressive with our ball movement, using the corridor, moving the ball forward not sideways and generating overlap run. Loving watching us chain with handballs off half back to get quick F50 entries.
What I find interesting is that to me, we've seen a very clear change in our game plan. We entered this season playing a very defensive minded game, trying to use a kick/mark style to pick our way through with the ball which enabled us to keep our defensive structures in place. It worked the first 4 weeks but fell apart once we started playing better opposition. The way we're playing is completely chalk and cheese from earlier this season.
Yet Voss has seemingly tried hard to downplay any real changes...all he's said is that we've paired it back and simplified it. That's it. He's talked a lot about the players improving and being in better form, but I think a lot of this is down to the better game plan. Ultimately, I think our coaches stuffed up by coaching a defensive, slow ball movement game style all pre-season coming into this season and we've had to change it mid-season...leading to our string of losses where the players looked confused and lost all confidence.
Now it's clicked and our game looks the most well rounded we've seen under Voss where we look good in all facets of the game. We haven't had that until now, not even last year. Our transition game and counter attack has looked awesome. Hopefully we can look back at this period as the point where we really settled on our game style and from here it's just about doing it better.
