Well Pitto and Levi have to have an even bigger bee in their bonnet.
They aren't in the same class though, it might be trouble for us!

I'd be more worried about Levi and Big H having the irrevocable fumbles inside F50, we can't burn rare entries on guys that might drop uncontested marks!

Agree on Williamson, other  youngsters able to impress during preseason, should be given the opportunity  to play at least another game &  show their ability to contribute.
I’d like to see Kennedy,  Stocker, all contenders for a place in the starting 22 really make a case for selection. More involvement & passion is what we need for the 2nds team.

Any idea if Sidebottom is ready to play?
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

very likely according to the last Pies' injury report.
Yep, slight calf strain but they expect him to play, reckon he might spend a bit of time forward given he is an older player now
and calf injuries can be hard to shake.

My outs: LOB, JSOS, Willo, Murphy.

My ins:  Kennedy (like for like with Jack), Betts, Martin, Williams.

Would like Kennedy in - but unlikely that Murph would get dropped - so who else comes out.....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Teague not buying into talk of early season pressure.
I just have to read the headline to know that Teague is an idiot if he thinks The Richmond Bloke, Lloyd and The Board wont start to sharpen the knives if we are 0-3 let alone 0-6.

Yes, until the day that doesn't happen, nothing has changed.

I can't help but feel Teague is another Ratten, it's our history.

One of my favourite sayings is "p!55 or get off the pot".

I'm with GTC.....SPS goes out. I'd drop him, LOB and Silvagni out injured. Initially I had McDonald in my starting 22 but if it's wet over there as it's forecast, then maybe he misses out...but only for that reason as he deserves a spot on the back of last week. Then in would come Williams, Martin and Kennedy instead of McDonald.

Betts is thereabouts but Fogarty was okay last week and with Gibbons, Fisher and also Murphy, the smaller forward role looks too congested.

Agree, Liddle and crew wont sit back and cop the blame for a average season and missing finals, they will be looking for a scape goat real quick and the bloke with the L Plates on wont be coaching next season if that happens.
Going to be a few name coaches on the market for jobs and I dont envy Teagues position, the hype from the media preseason was strong but only one journo picked us as a finals team after all the positive spin.
Even the pro Carlton journos like Riley Beveridge from AFL.com didnt have us making it, you feel too there is that one big injury around the corner as well threatening to derail us.
Its unfair on Teague but thats the job and how we roll at Carlton....
