2013 Rd1 Footyhead’s video review Carlton V Richmond
In front of a huge crowd at the MCG on Thursday night, Carlton kicked the last five goals of the game and might well have won if either of Chris Yarran’s two shots in the dying stages went straight.
The Tigers made hard work of it after leading by 42 points midway though the third term before a Carlton onslaught almost stole the show. The Tigers scraped to victory. But only just.
A winning start to the season is always the goal and this time the Blues were 5 points short. It was close run at the end and both teams dominated the game convincingly at various times. The final result is all that counts and there can be no recriminations that will change this. The coach and players all did what they could to win and failed. Not by much though and the come back from a 40 + point deficit by Carlton was a good thing and almost a perfect thing. The season has began now it is time to unite and follow the unknown path towards a finals appearance as the first goal of season 2013.
Disappointed with the result losses always suck. Carlton will be a team to be reckoned with in season 2013. There is going to be more wins than losses and a lot of squealing from the rest of the inferior club’s supporters at getting a taste of True Blue dominance. It has been a while and this season is as good as any to refresh a lot of memories as to why the trophy cabinet is so large at Princes Park. Go You Blues
