    They look far more resilient from what we've seen so far this season.

    Vossy!

        Who was the commentator that said they didn’t realize Hewitt was a good player until last week? FFS, plays for the swans for maybe 8-9 years and he’s no one.

        One game at Carlton and he’s a player.
        He ate more cheese, than time allowed

          Curnow and McKay are starting to look a bit scary.

            What do you expect. Vic bias in the media is ridiculous. Kennedy is probably a better play than Cripps has ever been but the dialogue around Cripps is if he's some kind of messiah

              Odd final quarter. Carlton were choking, through their inability to hit a target coming out of defence, while the Dogs were reverse choking, by not being able to kick a goal.

                The Cheats are 0-2. Party at my house, and all the booze and goodies are free.

                    Lets hope we can make it 0-3 next week!

                      If Liam Jones was in this side, carlton would be locked for top 4 if they continue to play like this. Seems to me like they are playing the bulldogs style and have better players at both ends. Quick handballs in traffic and then good forwards and good midfield pressure.
                      But if beaten in the contest will leak goals as they are overwhelming the contest by numbers. Best of luck to them but now they have set the speed and everyone will come prepared.

                          I'm thankful that we don't have to play Carlton until round 10. They are looking really hot right now.

                            Chock full of talent and now well coached. Cripps back to his absolute best, Walsh back, Charlie Curnow back, KFC McGovern finally stepping up, defending properly, they are a serious team now.

                            I did a quick check to make sure we weren't playing them twice! We're not :-) Teams that are, Crows haha, Richmond, GWS, Freo, Collingwood

                              It really, really hurts to say it but I have to agree. They looked extremely good! The only saving grace for me is that they beat another team I hate! The Bulldogs didn't even win the free kick count! (19-19)

                                Mongrel Punt is a good read and devotes a large section this week to Hewett:
