I voted for LLoyd solely because of his boundary goal. I'm easily impressed.

don't put yourself down my friend. its currently goal of the year

Grimes second half was superb.
Houli great.
Carlton in a world of pain. Other than Menzel, they are bottom four for many years

Jack is able to detach his head from his body! Is there anything that bloke can't do!

Yeah Houli deserves praise, ditto Grigg after half time.

Carlton have many holes and a bad age mix. Judd, Simpson, Daisy and many others have played their best footy already.

They could really do with a good ruck. Perhaps their top ten pick next year for Hampson

havent read the whole thread because my phone is flat and just got home so my 2c worth,
great win minus our stars having a dominant input,
Stoked with hunt Mcintosh in particular
Backline super after qtr time. Chappy batch rance grimes were all great.
houli is our malceski
Carlton are aweful
miles huge 2nd half as did ellis
If lids goes for that the game is ****ed
MCG beer is still too dear..
im ****ing happy
my bro in law is a massive Judd fan and when Mcintosh made him look silly in that 2nd qtr he looked at me and said he is done.

Johny boy is feeling a little bit like lids atm...just posted in doggies board might cope a few weeks lads....if so just imagine the awesome posts i would have posted...

Loved your work tonight johny boy! You never wavered!

Grimes started really poorly. A kick out on the full and a dropped mark that led to a goal. He got better. Thought Batch was solid, good link man and seemed good under pressure. Miles also had zero possessions at quarter time. Those non-stars were the key early, keeping us innit. The depth through the midfield is great, and obviously also allows Cotch, Dusty, Shed and Deledio to impact upforward.

He got a centre clearance with about 2 mins to go in the qtr... but yeah was quiet early like many of his teammates...

Bring on the bullflogs!

 

[AJ Green]

We got Taylor Hunt for free who was one of the best tonight, while Carlton traded pick 7 for Jackhs who barely did anything.

My boy Brando broke that tag like a beast! In for a HUGE year. Jet!
Mcintosh... did not expect this. Take a bow son
Hunt could be our Miles of 2015. All be it an outside version
Houli, Ivvy, Jack, Griffiths, Vlas, Lloyd all excellent
Our forward line is popping... i'd be happy never to see Vickery again
Biggest criticism is alot of our senior players were asleep for much of the 1st half. It was really a lot of the youngsters that sparked us half way through the 2nd. Hope it's just for round 1 as this can't be the case moving forward.
All in all f***n ecstatic that we beat the scum and that i've had a long night giving my Blue mates an absolute EARFULL!

Had a very similar experience to this

Never pictured myself screaming Mcintooshhh!!

Match committee.
Brilliant.
Perfect decisions in regards to a) Lloyd, b) Mcintosh, c) Hunt.
Vlastuin is a jet.
Fantastic win.
Vickery won't play for a while providing Griffiths can keep that type of form consistent.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Just saw Hardwick's post game presser.
Fair dinkum. A room full of "journalists" and no-one thinks to ask Dimma about how he saw the forward line functioning tonight.
After admitting that it was doing-in the heads of the match committee for some time.. Would have liked to hear his thoughts on the whole thing. Dimma has a lot to offer when pressed on certain subjects. Just needs to be asked the right questions.

Hunt is a good get.

Jacksch will probably be good but I think Carlton will regret it when they could have had Cockatoo. He'll tear it up.

Apparently SOS (sitting at the GWS table) shock his head when Carlton called out Boekhurst or whatever his name is for their 1st pick at the draft.

 

[HeadandShin]

happy Easter Everyone!! a nice start to the season.

 

[Tigerland]

My only concern tonight - other than a really poor start was the tackling.
Take the players arms FFS.
Carlton players still able to handball with weak tackles, not strong enough.

Carlton in the 8 until Sunday afternoon for the last time this season.

 

[WWSD]

Sam Lloyd needs to stay in the side for the rest of the season. He gives Richmond another avenue to goal and reads the play well. He could kick around 30 goals this year.

 

[sante]

Finally watched it! Was worried early with some poor efforts by Chaplin, Ellis etc.

But really we dominated from the start. Good to see us play well with our 3 stars barely doing a thing.

McIntosh - Wow

 

[Squibbs]

I'm in love with Sam Lloyd, I reckon he could bring so much to the table with different avenues to goal and great goal sense. If him and Titch (and possibly Knights if he can get out on the field) can combine well in the forward line it could make us a very dangerous team in our forward half.

 

[sante]

Gotta love having McIntosh and Hunt in your DT

 

[DrMike]

Does that count as a come from behind win?

 

[DrMike]

They're saying Thomas is out for 12 weeks

Unrelated but the Carlton supporter reality check is somewhat amusing after the smugness from some leading up to this game
