’s career best game. He was phenomenal! He took 9 marks for the game, one behind Coleman who took 10 and there were some great intercept marks in his 9. Lester’s tackling and work when the ball was on the deck was great and his second quarter goal was a massive team lifter.

It was also Kiddy Coleman’s greatest game. He showed intelligence and poise as he turned defence into attack with his sublime intercept marking and passes that were aggressive and split Carlton open.

also made a powerful contribution to our win.

Dunkley and Neale were fantastic also.

A massive team effort.

 

[M Malice]

I thought Dev did some very good things tonight, busted a gut to get to multiple contests as per usual, took a fantastic contested mark in the D50 at a vital time at one stage.

 

[Monkey Daniel]

To the doubters, there was no doubt it was never in doubt!!

Kiddy BOG
Andrews
Lester
Dizzy
Dunkley

 

[CarterS]

Can someone go back and post a compilation of first quarter melts from the live thread please?

 

[Squizz89]

My heart aches….

 

[p4p1]

Luke Darcy screaming for a blues free when McKay shoves Andrews to the ground and Gardiner spoils the sherrin. How do we put up with this s**t.

It was ****ing ridiculous all night.
Would love an option for all teams where you can change the commentary to guys who barrack for their team. Would be fun tbh.

 

[royboys4eva]

Gardiner is one of the original players who went through the dark days. He deserves to retain his spot. Killed Curnow tonight. The entire back line was superb tonight. Coleman the modern day Chrissy Johnson. McKenna with such great run and skills. Wilmot after a shaky start was good. Harris Andrews

was immense. Especially early when we were under the pump. But special mention to one and only Foggy Lester. He has been simply brilliant week in week out. Best thing Fagan has done this year was get him into the side.

Have to say Callum Ah Chee

is one of those players who just pops up and does something important and so valuable for our side.

 

[M Malice]

Can someone go back and post a compilation of first quarter melts from the live thread please?

I was going to ask about that, was there some all time classic posts?

 

[CarterS]

I was going to ask about that, was there some all time classic posts?

Just assuming there were, was at the game and reception was horrible on the phone.

 

[p4p1]

What a performance, love thie team. So happy for Dizzy, he has seen some dark days. He has to stay in.

Assuming Payne is fit… At the expense of who though?

 

[BRAB]

Back in Nerang.

On cloud nine.

To come back from a 5 goal to zip start showed so much bravery. To close it out showed maturity.

We’ve grown so much.

 

[CarterS]

Rich sub for GF?

 

[p4p1]

Lol.

That was a blatant free every day of the week. To McKay.

But overall Carlton got gifted early by the umps. The travel call on Berry was 50/50 and we dismantled after that. Who knows if we had've got the first goal how the game might have transpired.

Didn’t use his arms and hit the ball.
It was a free kick everyday of the week to Andrews before that.

 

[CarterS]

Never in doubt!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

I was going to ask about that, was there some all time classic posts?

I think I stayed calm, was just a lil upset, so I'm all for it

 

[ZoBlitz]

Yesssssssssssss

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Congratulations, well deserved win. We shell shocked you in the first quarter but your class and skills won out, much better team today. Ill be a Brissie supporter this week. Please go on and continue your dominance over the filth.

 

[Maverick]

i'm still shaking a bit. way too nervous

i was watching, I couldn't watch, i Was watching again..

gotta watch the replay now to actually truly see the game

Like The Blair Witch Project.

Too scared to open my eyes, Too scared to close my eyes.

 

[M Malice]

Rich sub for GF?

No, you need a sub who could do the job if we get an early bad injury... I think it will be Lyons.

 

[undefined]

Whiting has pretty much committed a war crime by not putting Andrews in Brisbane's best.

 

[p4p1]

I thought Dev did some very good things tonight, busted a gut to get to multiple contests as per usual, took a fantastic contested mark in the D50 at a vital time at one stage.

I can’t remember who kicked it to him but that was a total hospital kick.
I thought Dev was really important early in the game. He, along with the backline were the reason why Carlton and the umps didn’t have us down by 8-9 goals.

 

[CarterS]

Carlton fans created an amazing atmosphere, felt like a soccer game with half the crowd maroon and half the ground blue.

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Can never knock Dev's effort and there will be a few Blues players waking up sore from the rib rattlers that he dished out throughout the game as well.

 

[Lazza16]

Bruce Doull like

If u squint

 

[p4p1]

No, you need a sub who could do the job if we get an early bad injury... I think it will be Lyons.

I thought it was interesting how long they waited to make the sub and put Lyons on. It was like they weren’t sure where to put him or who he could replace until there wasn’t realistically enough time for Carlton to make comeback.
