Autopsy Rd 10 Carlton d Geelong by 19 points - Post Match Discussion

[Soapy V]

Yeah, I'm uncertain. He seems to position himself well and has a good football IQ. I'd like to see what he delivers after a little more experience and a solid preseason.

i hadnt seen him much before he got to carlton and a lot of people were singing his praises. certainly has a go. skills are my concern atm

 

[Doro]

How good is it watching us keep on cracking in and tackling hard to the final siren? Fantastic win. Army has gone from a heart in mouth player to one that is just all heart and leg speed. The Big tractor just had a knee clean up about 10 days ago? Hard to believe. You can just see the camaraderie amongst the group, awesome to watch. Bolts for PM. Actually no, bigger that Carlton is more important

 

[ctacp]

Hmm. I don't know how old you are, but don't diss our long and proud history lightly, please.

Nevertheless, that was a BLOODY FANTASTIC win. So proud of all of the boys.

And can someone tell me where the queue starts to boof Bolton, please? I'd like to be the next in line.

That'd be the queue thats behind the "coaches club" members, of which i'm also a member..

 

[HARKER]

Kreuzer is 'the spirit of Carlton', says Bolton

Trade him, I say.

 

[La Dispute]

You think booing Henderson puts him off his game? His peaheart puts him off his game.
You think booing opposition players lifts your side? Cheering your team on, lifts your side...
You go to the footy, pay your money, you're entitled to do as you please (within the realms of decency) . I'm just saying, booing is not for me. If it's your go, great.

Do I think booing puts him off his game? Yes; any pressure, either perceived or direct puts him off his game. When he becomes booed, he becomes stressed and he makes bad decisions.

No one said booing would lift the side, but it does create pressure, which makes players panic - It impacted Henderson's game and he was largely ineffectual.

 

[Wickzki]

**** yes.

 

[Realtrublu]

Just watched Bolt's presser. It is amazing how little he gives away each time. How long before the media, or some big ego's in it, turn on him?!!!

 

[HARKER]

Our new sponsors...

Get on board!!!

No....no....no. It's Bio-Gland.

 

[Dramoth]

Putting Bolton and co and all they've achieved aside it's the departure of peahearted unprofessional never will live up to their potentials like Henderson that have helped build the professional, never say die, committed to the cause team we are today.

I'd rather go to war with a guy like Dennis Armfield than I would Lachie Henderson. Army's nowhere near as talented but you'll never second guess whether he gave it his all.

Add in the fact that Armfield totally brought into the club when he arrived here as a mature aged recruit (I think that he was 21 when he got drafted) and has really made the club his own. I would say that Lachie could see us playing finals and improving under Ratts and wanted that over the disaster that Brisbane was heading into. And when the club started going backwards, he started looking for an out. And, therefore, he was open to suggestions last year that Geelong would be the place for him.

And now he has seen his old train wreck of a team run roughshod over his new team, he must be wondering what could have been if he had stayed!

Mind you, we wouldn't have the GWS4 and Harry McKay now if he hadn't left!

 

[Moody Blue]

How good is SOS? Put the GWS squad together and then managed to identify four players who could add to Carlton. He is making a huge name for himself.
Cudo's to those behind the scenes that got SOS back to the club. It wouldn't have been easy.

 

[gandaal]

I couldn't care less who you dislike or have no respect for. I see no need for suggesting Henderson is a woman and thus weak. What does that even mean? Criticize him without the sexist rubbish. Now, as you were. Some sort of win today.

I think he was referring to literally Hendos mother.

His real mother.

Not his wife or him.

His mother.

 

[Smegger]

What a game by Gibbs he was absolutely everywhere. I hope the few on here that have being calling for Dre to be dropped finally get that having a player of his class who can actually kick straight is kinda important. That is 4 wins from 4 visits to the footy for my 7 year old so he is pumped. I also have an unhealthy love for Bolts right now.

I was one of them. The only difference last week between the spectators and Everitt was the spectators paid to watch.

Dre has got talent and today he was pro-active. I just want to see him do it every week.

 

[TooBlue14]

Kruezer the first player over 2m to have over 10 tackles and 8 clearances.

 

[krayfesh]

We're actually pretty ok.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Congrats on the win today. Bolton is a ripper.

It's always nice when whipping boys like Gibbs come good. There's a real spirit around Carlton that seems to have been missing for about 15-20 years.

Kudos and good luck for the rest of the season.

 

[NumberEight]

NUMBER EIGHT.

Everyone dug deep and played well

By your logic, we should boo every player from every side, every week. That will get us a premiership...
Look, you wanna boo, boo. I don't care. It's just not for me... Moving on.

We do not need Lachie Henderson in the team but we would benefit from having kept Eddie ( possibly Garlett) and Jacobs. And for a left field idea, I think Bitch Rubbushbin would fit in well. He is ferocious at the ball. Pity we had him during a really immature and mad phase of his life. He had to go for that reason.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

2 wins in one day. I am a very happy Mebbie.

 

[Soapy V]

and we did it without byrne murphy & sumner.

 

[Madblue]

Poor old Gibbsy vomiting on live tv a nber of times after the game. Just shows what effort he put in again tòday.

I thought Hendo was one of their only players who stood up to the pressure.

 

[HBF]

Im all for booing Henderson, he used to be one of my favourites. I tried to defend him even after he had checked out halfway through last year.

Boo him for life for all I care. You leave in those circumstances you deserve it.

I wont boo Bell, nor Betts or even Garlett, nor Robbo, but Henderson - yes.

Hendo is the only ex blue i've booed. He can eat a bag of dicks.

 

[jj1978]

Great win but biggest test is next week in not thinking its a walk in the park.
