Let me say in opening that I think Carlton were the deserved winners tonight and the final margin probably flattered Brisbane.
I thought Walls observations at the end were interesting though.
He said he couldn't split Judd and Fev for the man of the match. Was I watching another game? Fev was a deserved winner and Judd was good but surely Black was better than Judd tonight? Had far more involvement in actual scoring movements and after a slow first quarter was clearly the prime midfielder on the ground. There were a couple of patches of the game where Judd wasn't sighted for 10 minutes or more and I thought Judd was about 7/10 tonight - good but not outstanding...
The other bias is saying Kreuzer and Clark broke even. Again, surely Walls was watching anonther match?
Well done Carlton on the night - definitely deserved winners. I'm always amazed though how "media favourites" like Kreuzer and Judd are pumped up.
