Supercoach Round 3 SC Talk - Round 3 Trades ,//, AFL Fantasy Round 2 AF Talk - Round 3 AF Trades
Normal
I was quite worried after last weeks game - i felt that not only did we not play that well except for about 8 minutes of football where we kicked 5(?) goals but we had a few calls in important moments go our way and we were good enough to score a quick goal when the Bombers were getting momentum; but I was worried about not having enough A grade players and that we will be not good enough to win it this year.Today was huge - Carlton were always going to play a hard contested style of football they have way too many gun players to not come back hard from last weeks complete collapse in the second half (I am still trying to think of a bigger upset).Not only did we withstand it; we actually got beaten by them in the second quarter for a good period of time and then we fought hard across the board; and then once we caught up we kept coming and then i felt we really controlled basically the entirety of the second half.Which shows me there is no doubt in my mind that Sammy is one of the smartest minds in football, that we absolutely do have enough A grade talent, depth and game plan to give our 14th(?) premiership a crack this year.Key Players for me today (without looking at any stats): 1. Battle - how good what a great pick up2. DeAmbrosio - thought he was always making a big play in the big moments3. Mackenzie - I will keep saying it if he becomes a 25-35 disposal getter we will be very hard to stop for a number of years - he reminds me of Tom Brady and Sam Mitchell in his ability to create space, time and highly accurate plays under immense pressure despite a lack of any sort of pace
