Few things annoy me more than losing to Carlton. We seem to have started slow against them in recent times.

I wept when Footscray solidly beat Carlton at Western Oval late '70s with Buckley trudging off spent and the faithful roaring joyously, the perennial underdog followers powerful and triumphant.
Nowadays it is great to confront their precocious coach led revival and I think we'll beat them because we are on the rise.

I started the week with the viewpoint this is a classic 50/50 game the dogs usually loose but I'm now connived we will win.

Our defence has improved a lot, Carlton are Curnow/McKay or bust atm and we have handled the big forwards well this season. We have also just been doing enough the last few weeks and think we are due for a better performance. With Bont, English and Jones going really well, I think we have more depth in our supporting cast to get the chocolates in this one.

Just wish I was there. Still one of my fav games is when Garlic kicked 6 at Princess Park in 2000 and we were one of the few doggies supporters in the new legends stand that day supporting loud and proud. We copped a lot of stick but it was such a sweet victory that one.

We need pace and movement up the ground from half forward to centre square. Big forwards are too predictable. Too easily defended. Sub O'Donnell, have Artie and McNeil moving continually around the 50m arc and play Weightman deep.
If subbing out O'Donnell is too harsh then sub Keath. Poor game. Again.

I am disappointed with English. He is being outpointed by Pitonette AND Silvagni. His judgement and positioning are way off. This game still has a lot to play out. Our defence has been solid but we are not getting much from some of our prime movers- Bont, Libba, Smith and , to a lesser extent, Macrae. Weightman unsighted again, Baker and Arty quiet. Scott stepped up - well done.

Our defence has been solid but we are not getting much from some of our prime movers- Bont, Libba, Smith and , to a lesser extent, Macrae. Weightman unsighted again, Baker and Arty quiet. Scott stepped up - well done.

I thought Arty has been ok.

The doom and gloom and negative attitudes on here are rather pathetic, we are 3 goals up and Curnow and McKay have kicked one point between them. It was a good first half, give the team some credit ffs.

We're winning but we're playing pretty poorly. Not sure what's controversial about that.

I just hope at the end of this game that they don't regret picking O'Donnell. He is so far off it. Hopefully he will prove me wrong but agree that Buku could do the same role plus more.

Yep it is weird one. Buku kicks 4 and doesn’t get picked meanwhile O’Donnell plays in defence in VfL and plays forward.

Probably the sharpest-thinking forward on the ground. Had some really really good moments and little touches. His kick to Lobb earlier was just perfect, made Lobb run onto it

So good to see Smith back to his best and his disposals hit the mark tonight. Libba was good too.

I honestly thought we were gone, especially after that quick reply to Libba's goal.
Arty was fantastic in the last and I thought English turned it around in the contest and contributed a lot to our win.

Bailey Smith really lifted and Weightman too. Anthony Scott with three goals was very important to the win.

Our defenders stood up under a lot of pressure. Richards was immense and at times heroic. JJ gave us a lot of run. Consider that we kept two of the best forwards in the game to two goals between them. Good effort.
