Go Sainters!!
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Re: Carlton Game Thread
the delivery to Roo has been pretty good
but each marking attempt he has run underneath the ball and then gone to ground...

Re: Carlton Game Thread
Who is umpire 18? Lets Riewoldt be murdered yet gives Carlton frees for tiny jumper holds then ignores the same when it is do e to Gwilt. But we are down because they are winning clearances and we keep finding ways to give the ball back when we do win it.

For all his noted shortcomings, Flint Jones showed in that first quarter why he gets a game.
When we were in a bit of disarray early on, he steadied the ship through sheer tenacity.

I agree outstanding effort. Gwilt has been good too.

Re: Carlton Game Thread
Shenton looks comfortable at this level - its my first real look at him & he might be a player
Acres has turned all of his possns over so far - he is not playing on instinct & thinking too much - I would not give a match up & stick in the frwd pocket

Re: Carlton Game Thread
When they showed his VFL game prior to his first match on the Saibts web site I noticed he missed nearly every target. I commented at the time that I hoped it was just a one off game.FQF wrote:What's with acres? 3 clangers
I'm not so sure - his disposal does seem very sloppy to me.

Re: Carlton Game Thread
Stanley needs to create something or take a few marks.
Stats so far = 1 kick 1 hitout 1 free against. Not good enough.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
