            Yeah I'm serious. All the egregious no-calls have gone our way.

            So, maybe the legitimate count favours them, but the stuff that hasn't been callled has mostly been in our favour.

              Funny how we look at things I thought Carlton got a great go from the Umps.

                    So did I, I don't think they won a clearance by any method other than a free kick.

                    I didn't matter in the end, our style of play and intensity at the footy was always going to beat front runners like Carlton!

                      If we had kicked straight, it would have been a ten goal win!

                        I'll take 5

                        That was great. The difference in this team in the last 5 weeks is incredible. Some great confident ball movement.

                            A quick and dirty preview:

                            Carlton are flat track bullies this year. The only side they have beaten above them is Port.

                            I don't really rate most of their backs defensively, but when they play back Walker and Yarran they can counter attack well. Gibbs needs to be watched too. Not sure who they would play on Grant who could really trouble them. Jones and Campbell may mean that one of Henerson or Watson will have to play back.

                            Their tall forwards are serviceable with Waite back but note no Kreuzner. Morris to Waite, Roughie to Henderson? Picken to Betts to give him hell, Garlett needs to be watched.

                            Aside from Judd who looks cooked and Murphy, their mids look ordinary. Their relative hard nuts Robinson and Carazzo aren't playing, and Simpson got smashed last week. Wallis on Murphy? Minson should smash them in the ruck.

                            Conclusion: If we play like last week we can definitely beat this scum, weakened by injuries. Unlike the Swans, Carlton are an uneven side which can be closed down by targeting a handful of players.

                            Fantastic stuff DR,! So accurate it was scary.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              Great win today, very happy.

                              Based on the rapid improvement over the last 5 weeks could finals be back on the agenda sooner than most of us thought?
