    We need a champ like lift from him in the 2nd half if we're to pull this one back.
    We all love Bont but really, he's been poor besides the game v Sydney. Not good enough from him.

    Good choice, it's interesting that we invested games into Hayes and Lachie Young last year but they appear to be at the back of the queue now

    Richards hanging by a thread, needs a spell.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I thought he lifted in the 2nd quarter, but yeah, we need one of his match winning performances

    The overuse of handball is really concerning, too much space is being closed down in close and also further afield. It's OK under the roof at Docklands, but doesn't hold up in slippery conditions.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    We need Bont, McClean, Libba and McCrae to get down and dirty. We more plenty of up side in these guys were Carlton are already at peak performance. We need to lift around the ball and we win this game.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    He has to learn to get rid of a tag. I hate players holding on, umpires need to stamp it out

    Shades of a game against the Crows in the wet.

    Agree. If Bont can dominate we win. 22 points in these conditions is a fair lead but think it is getable. That last minute goal certainly hurt.

    Every loose ball just goes straight to them.

    Ordinary by Butler again.

    Holding the ball. Two sets of rules. Gee whiz.
