Key defender Rory Lobb is fascinating, nobody could have expected it to work but he has been really impressive since the move and is giving it his all.
Even if he decides he'd rather move to a new club to be a forward he's not sooking and is instead cracking in.

Lengths ahead of say a Schache experiment already, he looks to be moving with speed, competitive and takes the ball at its highest point. He just needs to go a little less aggressive with his kicks but yeah he is now our second best defender just wish Jones was back with him next week.

In Lobb's favour was his high TOG for many years now meaning he can stay on the paddock close to 100% TOG and if he's having a poor game, we know he can play forward or ruck. A genuine plan B option.

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?

Going to the game yesterday, I said to my Dad that I would be happy if we just showed that we had an appetite for the contest and we made a game of it. It would be OK if we lost.

Then a few minutes in, after Owies got a dubious HTB decion. Kicks the goal and then carries on like a complete and utter w%^&$ over celebrating like they had just won the Grand Final. I completely changed. I wanted to desperately beat these clowns.

One of the more satisfying wins in the last few years.

Watching the replay now. Hope none of you had the misfortune of listening to this Carlton cheer squad pretending to be a commentary team live.

When Owies missed that goal I gave him an actual 30 second spray which I’m sure everyone around me thought was very funny and cool. I feel like I actually helped the team win yesterday.

Owies is the world's biggest, actually... second biggest flog. The other is lucky his head isn't bigger.

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.

Cripps played well so on the Official Carlton Scoring System they actually won.

Owies is your quintessential ordinary player who gets to play in front of big parochial crowds and thinks he's awesome because of it.

You won’t believe me but a Carlton supporter behind me was calling Cripps Mr.September in the second half. Mind you you also said Cripps v Bontempelli is not a debate because Cripps has a Brownlow.

Lol.

At least they weren’t calling Charlie that. Would’ve been more inappropriate I suppose. Lots of Mr June’s in their side.
