All is not lost, found a precedent for tomorrow’s game while looking at afltables.com  and 1978 in particular.  After 8 rounds we were 3-5 and played the undefeated top team (North Melbourne) in round 9. We came out and kicked their a%ses to tune of 58 points.  Then went on a run to the finals where we won our first game before bowing out in the second week. :D

The background to the seasons are obviously different etc, but interesting none the less.

I think that was the year Jezza took over from Stewart as coach and I believe I was at that game! One of the few times I was at the Heatley end goals and was a fantastic win. Difference back then was we had a brilliant squad who just needed the right bloke in charge. Was widely reported that they loved their coach (Jezza, not Stewart) and were ruthless at the contest with him at the helm. Our current team is miles of that in regards to personnel and attitude. Ah, the memories.

If Casboult was to play tomorrow it would be his 150th game for Carlton. Considering there has been no fanfare from the Club or in the press about this leads me to the assumption that he won't be playing. Therefore DeKonning will have his first game for the season. This would mean we have played 34 players fort the season which shows we have depth. I would paly Cripps as the third tall in our forward line. While he is not a great forward, all he has to do is kick a couple of goals and he would be as effective as Silvagni and McGovern. He would also give us an extra pair of hands around the forward 50 stoppages and if he ran up and down the ground he would blow up any half back stationed on him. I would bring in Setterfield, and if Murphy is fit they would probably drop Gibbons who's output has dropped of over the past few weeks and if Williams is not fit, they should bring in Dow. The other player I would consider is Honey.

As was I @rocky ... Stewart was absolutely despised by the players.  Stupid appointment.

I've backed the Blues to win by 20-39 (with a few bucks on 40+ too)
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Agree EB, I wouldn't commit hard earned on it but if we bring it for 4 qtrs, our best is good enough. Listening to the boys on On the Couch the other night, Healy reckons we aren't far off getting it together, just a few tweaks required. I hope the tweaks have been made this week. According to my charts, weather might even stay away so I might go.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I reckon we'll go hard at the start tomorrow.
It's the  best way to put a bit of a doubt into them.
Get a bit of a lead.

What comes after....
I think there is a belief that if Carlton are within four or five goals they're 'gettable'.
The problem is it's the Carlton players thinking that way.

We need a win were we're challenged and hold the opposition off.

Jezza's 3rd game. I was there too. Went from 1-5, when Jezza took over, to 4-5 with that win. We hammered both grand finalists that year.

Gibbo, Newnes, JSOS and SPS out.

No kennedy (for JSOS) very strange. Papers stamped.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

IN: Murphy, Setterfield, Newman
OUT: Gibbons, Newnes, SPS, Silvagni (conc).

EMG: TDK, Newnes, Gibbons, Honey

SPS officially playing 2's.

No TDK is something i cannot understand.
Casboult must have naked pics of Teague or something.
Newnes or Gibbons would make a good sub.

The Pitt and Casboult show is going so well we don’t need TDk - quite incredibly, in the mind of our MC he’s surplus to our requirements!
