Collingwood young gun Nick Daicos remains right in the hunt for the Brownlow...

He's escaped with a $3000 fine ($2000 with guilty plea) for striking offence on Blake Acres.

Incident graded intentional, but crucially was ruled to be low impact.

Bloody David King reckons sure we are winning matches, but our weakness is we dont kick big scores, as the Lions do. our strength is our fantastic backline. He forgets we belted Port, and castrated the GWS. Anyhoo , lets show this ex Norf jerk that we can boot big scores, by annihilating his precious Roos. !

Loved our first half but then Carlton switched their structures and were able to close our run. Possibly a bit concerning that a team like Carlton can shift the game to the (sh!!t ) way they want to play but as long as the team can acknowledge and address that aspect it's a good learning.
"Can't touch Curnow" was the umpiring theme of the day. Would of been good if the 4 yellow muppets told Moore at the start off the game.
Moore was superb. Murphy got exposed by the bigger Mckay a couple of times but to be expected.
Degoey doing just great. His power and decision making really making a difference.
Billy Elliott always presenting and doing a power of work.
Tom Mitchell giving us the clearance grunt we were looking for. Needs to flatten out his kicking a bit. Absolutely no right foot though.
Mcreery and Bobby Hill always dangerous.
Johnson and Miho offering different strengths. We had Carlton's defence not knowing where to look in stages there in the 1st half.
Nick Daicos learning how to work through a tag, doing great. His brother Josh got a lot of the ball but uncharacteristically made some bad decisions.
On the negative side, Tay Adams had a shocker. I'd be inclined to rest him up this week and replace with Carmichael.
Johnny Noble is all heart but geez he makes some clangers. He's good for the handball receive, and run out of defence, as well as chase down tackles and spotting up the 20m kicks, but as a defender he's a hard watch. Gets overpowered in contests, slips over, lacks penetration in his kicking. It's not a popular opinion as I know he has a lot of fan boys here, but I reckon we could do better in that position. Ryan perhaps? Admittedly the winning goal he kicked against Adelaide was a ripper.
Go Pies!

You summed up Nobes in the first sentence but went downhill from there.

Nobes goes flat out all game and goes for everything so yes he makes mistakes but he leaves nothing on the park.

It's easy to criticize from an armchair.

This passionate Blue fan analyses his loss - he is impressed by the Collingwood side.

"the difference between these two teams, particularly in regards to ball movement...just the speed of Collingwood...we were f***ing fat slow"

"they're so quick to close down space defensively. They got McCreery and Hill who were just super quick".

The Essendon one was worse, imo – both in terms of impact and, if this counts for anything, the fact that it was completely unprovoked.

Captain Oh Captain—-what a fantastic job Darcy is doing!!

His game on Sunday was absolutely superb & some media person said he played like two back men

Some of his mark & dash reminded me of Peter Moore

I think Carlton played well to be honest.

Never was getting near the Pies.

But if Blues lose v sydney next week then its all over.

Big game carlton and swans.
