Gee Melbourne looked off the pace against the Eagles last night.
Good share of goals up forward by the Eagles too with Darling, Embley & Lynch all kicking 3.

85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
Hmmmm
Didnt Melbourne have the bye in Round 5....and they had to travel to Perth...and play the Gold Coast the week before their bye
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
Could we have picked up Darling with the Sherman pick?
West Coast have a bargain,noticing West Coasts forward pressure.
Their kicking looks to have improved,their intensity has improved.
Melbourne on the other hand looked beaten at the start complete lack of intensity and enthusiasm. Said it before Dean Bailey is in trouble he can't get any effort out of this group.
No leadership and for the life of me they should have kept James Mcdonald
Losing Bruce and McDonald the way they have seems to have taken some heart out of the team.
We will face a similar dilemma soon with some of our players. Hope it is later rather than sooner.
Green looks totally uninterested to me and is in probably the worst form of his last 6-7 years. Cant get near the ball and when he does he looks slow, fumbles etc.
I will never see #16 the same!!
Eagles look okay but I'm still miffed how a bottom 3 side who were terrible last year can be as Darcy says 'an exciting and difficult team to beat both at home and away'.
I guess I underestimate self belief.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Chris Judd Football club looked good tonight. Thought the game opened up which suited Carlton and Judd carried them over the line.(groundhog day)Longmire left young Smith on Betts to long,realistically we should beat Sydney next week.
Judd ia an amazong footballer. His clearance work in the 2nd half was as top shelf as you can get, against a team that normally thrives in the wet, loves the smaller ground, and eats up opponents in stoppage-laden games. He ended up with almost 20 clearances and about 26 contested possessions (out of 31 total possessions). He is one of the best mids to have played the game.
Excellent win on the road by Carlton, and we really should confortably accound for the Swans next week if we play near to our capacity. We definitely have a higher gear than Sydnay.

I would like to see Judd stop trying to earn free kicks by dropping the ball and throwing his arms back. I know he is successful at it, but he is good enough let's see him win it fairly all the time. Even better I would like to see an ump with balls to call him for dropping the ball.
Never underestimate the bloods.
They did lead for most of the game.
The ' worm' graph at the end of the game showed their dominance until the end.
Carlton just willed themselves back into it. Judd, like a stubborn ox in the wet, head down with three opponents at a timetrying to lock him up. Unbelievable.
Swans looked like a bunch of Jockeys running round out there in the strip.
Goodes carries on for frees like an italian striker.
They have some younger players who didn't contribute much.
McVeigh, Kenelly, some quality players who won't be taken lightly by Dogs MC
