Few good signs but really Carlton are terrible so I think they made us look good when we weren't.

Cam was good in that he actually played like a forward.

It felt like we were handballing it way to much.

Winning is good.
 
(1) Ibbotson had a good game and has probably booked himself a spot against Geelong.
(2) Griffin will get first shot at the ruck / forward role
(3) McCarthy did some promising things
(4) Langdon looks like he will be a best 22 for the year.
(5) Honestly I don't get Weller back and Blakely forward.
 
Thoughts after the game
- Cam McCarthy kicking a handy bag of 6 is such a beautiful thing to watch even if it is just a preseason game.
- Fyfe was outstanding and it didn't even look like he was giving his all.
- Logue didn't look out of place at all and how about that kick from outside 50. Hope he gets consistent games throughout the year. Love the look of him.
- Neale, Hill, Mundy, Ibbotson all had solid games.
- Need to tighten up the screws in defence, Dawson was alright but a couple dumb free kicks against always frustrates.
- Blakely needs to tidy up his kicking and rinse the butter of his fingers. Too many fumbles and shanks from him but aside from that he played a good game. Playing more forward might have put him off.
- Griffin's playing well and taking marks which is a massive deal. Hope he stays in form throughout the season.
- Ballantyne's injury :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Positives:

- Cam Mc proving why GWS didn't want to let him go
- Nat Fyfe
- Ed Langdon
- Igbo - Thought he was alright

Probs some more in here

Negatives:

- Absolute gutter shit entries into the fwd 50
- Turnovers
- Carlton are so terrible I am about to chuck my life savings on them never winning a game...ever again for the remainder of recorded ****ing history
- 1 tackle for Weller - needs to show more
- Ballas injury

Neutral:

Logue - He looked very out of place tonight. He needs a lot of work. Logue looked like me when I am wearing shoes which are too small for me: Very uncomfortable. Logue needs a lot of work, but so did Neo in the Matrix and he ended up defeating Agent Smith so maybe Logue defeats Suban at the end of the year???
 
I was surprised by how well McCarthy went. Just a natural forward. Shame for you guys GWS stiffed you in '15 as part of a dick swinging contest.

What is also a shame is that he won't play alongside Pavlich.
 
I mean as in having all the skills to burn but not coming on as one would like?
Oh right. Nah I think he's coming along nicely as a third year player IMO, I reckon he has the most talent out of all our third year players, just needs to keep up the work rate. Should hold his spot this year unless injury.
