Mcgovern and Durdin certainly add to our general speed around the ground. Both of them are integral to our success

Have to agree that Newman looked very good. Somewhat perplexing player but overall I think he's better for the backline than I've given him credit for.
We win R22 & 23 if he was playing last year. He is every bit the marshalling force that Weiters and Doc are down back. Maybe more… IMO.

For the record, I think you’re an integral part of the set up around here…

that pesky proviso.........
I think it should be mandatory for anything that involves the Carlton Football Club…
Dare I say, the next bumper sticker….

Classic example of the workhorse in a team just gets it done.

It’s because they’ve won 3 flags and their arrogance has consumed them.Classic flog line from a couple of years ago I think was when flog Riewoldt stated ‘I wouldn’t want to play us in the last few rounds’ then preceded to miss finals.

Didn’t attend the game, but watched the replay and my takeaways:
Acres, exactly what we are wanted and needed, huge tank, runs both ways and cuts off angles nicely, big body who makes us instantly better
Hewitt and Kennedy, just make us so much better with their grunt, football smarts, toughness and ability to do the 1 percenters
Doch; got into the game in the second half, but really need to nail his match up as he did look really, really slow at times
Sos: his father was my hero growing up and I love Jack’s effort and intensity, but if he wants to play ever week he’s needs to nail his set shots. Yes it was windy, but 7-8 years into the system and this area of his game has not improved at all
Newman: just a pro
Hollands, Cowan and Cincotta: great signs early, all can play, have some weapons and look to be team first guys. Would think at least one of this group plays round one
Harry: beast, should kick 50-60 this year and will be hard to stop. Footy IQ also looks to have taken a step up
TDK: polarizing, some amazing stuff and some not so, if he can bridge the gap between his best and worst he will become an absolute weapon. Jumped too early a lot in ruck contests, but some of his aerial marking was superb
Mots: preseason hype definitely translated and just looked more confident, fitter and like he truly belonged. When paired with Durds it’s going to be dynamic and dangerous
LOB: if that’s what we get from LOB every week I’ll be happy, Barlow (commentator) noted he looked distinctly more confident standing up in tackles and didn’t crumble when the heat came, tick!
Overall happy with the result and a lot to work with. Hopefully we see Gov and Durds next week and I’m happy for Marchy and Martin to bide their time in the VFL to ensure they are 110% ready to go.

Get the feeling Harry and Charlie take their partnership to the next level this year
Expect Charlie to play more than cameron/nick riewoldt role where he gets about 50+ with 15+ touches a game
McKay won’t leave the forward 50 much based on what I saw yesterday, will kick 60+

I think the bumper sticker should read
‘Two to three weeks’
Is there a replay I can watch somewhere?
