If his name wasn't Silvagni would he be here next year?
You'll get flamed asking questions like that, it's like accusing a certain deity of........., don't go for dinner in Lygon St!

Well, he missed.
Someone squash Hodge: he's had 7 possessions.
Lang doing his best to make old man Hodge look like a cheetah!

FFS Carlton, over coached bullcrap football as usual, not an independent thought among them!

No, an indication of crape team selection. Hasn't been alot wrong with our key forwards, until Levi got injured and lost form. Lately, together with Charlie, they seem the only ones who can score. Pity we didn't pick any of them other than Charlie.
Local predict rain, so later it might not be a talls game, but if true why the two rucks?
Our MC is a mystery wrapped in an enigma!

He's an old gerry and partied too hard after his 300th - can't hack the pace.
Downing a case of 2003 Grange won't help, might be a tad dehydrating!

Rumor that Simpson a late withdrawal and Lang in.
It's no rumor, confirmed Lang is a replacement.
That's what you get for playing too well and making an effort at Carlton, the kibosh!
Simmo's playing well enough to go around again, not sure it's in the interest of the club that happens, but if they want him to remain they have to look after the old man!

Unless your coach is Daniel Harford and your club is called St Kevins, in which case you apply for exemptions and play 24 year olds in U19 finals!

Obviously they want Hodge to surgically remove a kidney!
Personally I hope Kerr gets a run and Hodge tries to fill his space!

In Kerr's second game I watched him make unrewarded lead after lead as if we had some stupid upfield decision making or game plan, it's like we didn't trust him to
But we've been doing this for years, it's bullsh1t football!
Kick the ball to the lead-up forward , and tell the smalls to get off the cheap goal drip-feed and get out front and square, you don't have to be Einstein!

Not this season LP. He brought physicality from the get go this year. He's in because we are worried that Kreuzer's broken again. For a player who's been at the club since 2008 he's broken down more times than he's won us games and there's no point using a Casboult, or Rowe or Jones against a ruckman who would be in all Australian conversation in a better team.
I agree Thry he been better.
But he's yet to come up against an physically aggressive opponent.
He's done well against the high jumpers, Nic Nat and Ryder, wasn't so good against Jacobs who is more of a wrestler and played against a child in English. That's his season, so I'm not sure you can call him as up for the fight from that lot, but he has improved no doubt!

Phillips physicality is fine. His problem is he isn't fit enough due to his injuries and isn't as much value around the ground as Kreuzer but he's better value in the ruck.
The ruck role is becoming a headache (thankfully). Kreuzer's injuries are going to cost him. I look at him and I see Josh Fraser Mach two.
Phillips is not "physically" aggressive like Martin, not even close! Phillips will wrestle, but in the past he'd take a back step if someone starts jumping into him like Mumford or Martin do! It's fair enough, Phillips has been on the end of a lot of injuries, but he's got time he's still 2 or 3 years away from being at his peak.
This time next season will be a good tell for a fit Phillips.
