Carlton Supporters Club

Moir reminds me very much of Troy Menzel.

Their cameos look great but like many players of this mould they struggle to add more strings to their bow and can be a bit pigeon holed - maybe they just don't work as hard as they should as their glimpses of brilliance gets them brownie points other less flashy players are not afforded  

As a fan i get very excited with these sorts but have been disappointed more times as only a few go on to play long careers.

Time will tell.

Moir is the one for me that could make a real difference if he can take the next step, the cameos he gave us last year were tantalising.

There's probably another story developing here.
Trump wasn't happy with the theme of the half time show.
There was an alternative more MAGA friendly show operating in tandem.
America was divided by the half time shows.

So they've broken it down into sections

Headline Maker- Jagga Smith- will give the side a bit of a "different look" in the midfield  "quick feet, quick hands and classy ball use". He finished fourth in Carlton’s 2km time trial in mid-January and has been a standout in match sims playing as a half-forward and midfield.

X Factor -Ashton Moir -with Charlie gone could become a focal point in the forward role but may also spend some time in the midfield. "Beautiful kick", Good contested mark and has the ability to hit the scoreboard.

Question Marks-The Camporeale Boys, Harry Charleson-will they come on this season. There will be plenty of competition for their spots. Can Ben force his way into the midfield?

Keep it up-This group has shown a bit, will they continue to improve?-Carroll, Wilson, O'Keefe, Cowan, Lord and Ollie Hollands.

Watch this space-Chesser-hampered by injury but "covers the ground well" and "makes good decisions". The Irish lads are mentioned in passing.

Smells like Teen Spirit-Harry Dean-"reads the play well to intercept"...and is "composed with footy in hand", Ison and Byrne are 'exciting talents' but may take a little longer to break into the side.

Missing in action-Motlop and O'Farrell

Gee-long will slide a little I reckon.

Handbaggers will always be in and about given they have the experience and are well managed through the season, they just need to find a way to get the big names into a GF in a fresh state, at the moment they keep burning them in Prelims or early finals.

Having said that, I heard that Scott has gone MiA, or LoA, whatever it is it could be a sign he grows weary.

I like Darcy's boy in terms of his attack on the footy, the aggression he shows, but AFL is full of big bodies and eventually that style of play is going to take it's toll and that could be in Rnd 1 or in years from now, but it'll happen.
