    I think as administrators, I dislike Carlton's the most.

    Haven't had to live there but both parents and their families were from there. I was smart enough as a child to know better and pick a better standard of club.

    Re: Three things you've learned. Round eight 2021 v Carlton

    One thing I have learn in this game... is that Bevo playing chess with the Carlton coaching staffs.

    (Anticipating Daniel will be tagged out of the game in the back half...) Placing Daniel to play forward for 3 quarters just to throw Carlton's game plan in disarray on the day.

    And then for them to not recognized the moment and not be able to react quickly to a late movement in the 4th quarter when Daniel went back to back half.

    By then they also wouldn't have anyone with energy, mindset to tag him, allowing our play-maker to run wild in the back half and distributed the ball at will. (Even showed off with a one-hander marking of the ball)

    Bont has led the team with the fight back but having Daniel going back in the fourth was the driving force for the win.

    Master class in deceiving our opponent!

    I agree with that assessment.

    Caleb has really struggled to impact in 21, but giving him a different role early did allow him to revert late without the attention.

    If it was done like that by design, it was a masterstroke (which it wasn't). At the very least, it was a canny piece of in play coaching to flick the magnets around. I wonder if we'd try it again?

    We may have gotten a whisper he was going to be sat on like he was in the elimination final last year, so did the same to them with Daniel himself on Saad.

    Or we may not have. Do clubs still get whispers?
