I called that a while ago but yes, agree. Very steady, deceptively quick and highly skilled.

Good to see Gresh running straight at the goals and kicking it.

I love Clark, so much NDS about him.

King clunking a few, wish he would clunk a few more tho!
Yes, lot of love for Clark in this household. I loved Dal but Clark is the mistress, he can & will be so much better! 😉

Battle has to kick goals like that. A sitter for a good kick like him

Hill hasn't done a lot but he is running hard to the defensive end and filling up space. It has a huge effect on Carlton's midfield drive. Billings is doing similar. Ratten' s plan is a team game and I'm pretty bloody impressed. How good could this squad get?

And also Marsh missing an easy one. We should be 2 goals further in front.

Once King and Battle start clunking and kicking it is a very good forward line.

Interesting.

He does appear somewhat hesitant with the ball.

The mark dropped by Dean Kent was worse.

Ben Paton is hopeless at decision making.

We were getting tired in the last five minutes - and they weren't. Wouldn't want to be close with 5 to play.

As long as we break even this quarter we should have it in the bag 👍

That goal is inexcusable.

What other rule in the AFL can be called illegal yet not attract a reversal or a free kick?

We're pretty good at having that loose player on the goal line for the easy goal.
