Serious question.

Have our best two wins this season come without one of our top 3 midfielders playing?

And have our best 3 wins come without Naughton?

And if I?m right, what does that mean?

Perhaps a few things, Richards played more time in the middle, Westy at times and a few others, we seem to rotate more than with our usual starting line up and i believe that is healthy for us being more unpredictable.

Without Naughton, perhaps 3 talls really is one too many, in an ideal world one plays mainly higher up the ground but you find most times all edge back close to goals jumping for the same ball.

As an aside was that tiny guy in the long sleeve who turned it over every time he touched it the same Jordan Boyd you guys were worried that we missed out on?

The very same

In the last 5 minutes Cripps has been called all of:

?Crippa?
?Paddy?
?The Bull?
?The Big Man?
?Big Crippa?
?The Man?
?The Big Bull?
?Big Fella?

Maybe just tell him your hotel room number while you?re at it.

When Darcy went into the ruck, I don't think English was on the ground, so we only had JUH forward, which I found interesting

Bloody great win, awesome to see Marra get back to his best and snagged a few which have done wonders for his confidence, Lobb very good again and hopefully can now just gain confidence with each game played down back, looking forward to seeing him and Jones string a few games together, the way Dale just somehow scoops the ball up on the run is unbelievable, so good also to have him back in form.

Well done Timmy as well, 2nd highest ranked player behind Cripps, that is the standard that is required on a weekly basis especially asking for such a big pay rise, thought Poulter played well also, interesting to see what we do with Coff if he keeps his body right and continues to get batter, does JOD miss out? Feel as though with Jones and Lobb back can only play one of Coff, JOD or Buku.

Yeah that is really interesting, obviously easier to see what is taking place on the ground all times being at the ground as you miss a lot of that on TV, it's probably good to mix things up at certain times and go a bit smaller, as long as we don't just bomb it in, although Flea doesn't mind sitting on players heads.

How's Cody's maniacal attack on the football to ensure a contest leading up to Marra's second goal. Also loved the boos from the Carlton fans after thinking Marra was given a free for too high unfairly.

To be fair. We were all thinking exactly the same thing.

I don't know if this is true or not but apparently the cameras located GrantyGhost after Marra had kicked his 2nd goal.
He really gets into his footy.

Gary you've posted a lot of great stuff over the years. Good to see you're still at the top of your game.

Was that when McNeil marked it just outside the goal square?
