I know, but we can't be "that" Carlton forever.
Agree, but...
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

Another player Carlton has effectively neutered....

Finals, then 4 in a row!

We should beat Hawthorn and beat them fairly well if we are progressing, to lose to them like we have in the past or just fall over the line would be disappointing . They have a decent onball division but not much else...Blues by 5-6 goals.

Teague in his presser today talked about a book he is reading which talks about "light bulb moments", they are all waiting for ours (ie where it pops and things happen). Careful Teaguey, there are many at Carlton who are all about conservation of energy and are very quick to turn lights off when they are left on for too long.

I don't know about being left on too long. Some blokes don't even know where the switch is!

With some, a switch was never installed.

Yes, it's called Atomic Habits. I know nothing about the book, but it looks like a bestseller with 40k+ positive reviews on Amazon.

Here are the scenarios.

1.  We lose.  Bar 10 players going off injured, and playing men short, in that scenario Teague is under mammoth pressure for the rest of the year as the cracks really start to split into chasms at the club, we end up in dissaray, and he eventually runs out of time, and chances.  This is our worst case scenario.

2.  We win, just.  The teague train is more little engine that could at the moment, and a so so win would simply be more of the same neither here nor there.  This is being truthful, our most likely scenario.

3.  We belt the living crap out of the hawks.  Make a statement that the Teague Train is finally getting going this season, with a statement performance from a few players led by captain Cripps.  As much as I would like this scenario, it seems unlikely.

With Clarkson in the box, it remains a danger game.  We need a win, and not just a win, a good win but we seem a bit fragile, and I just cant see it happening.  I dont think we will lose, but its more of the same from us, and that just leaves us plodding a long for now, which is about right for our team given the infirmary list.  Hopefully Setterfield, cripps and williams all make a statement this week, because he and we desperately need them to find some form, and some belief.

He was the sub v the Suns....then Rd 5 Teague plays him on a wing.....

Is that giving a 23yo a fair crack?

Probably a fairer crack than he deserves. 

Cuningham has been landed with the ‘Cameo’ label but young Matthew is far more deserving.

Kennedy was supposed to be the big bodied mid who would give Cripps a chop out.  Perhaps he will, but he’s going to have to show an exponential improvement.

And very telling IMO, no SPS. 

Yes, I think that’s solid evidence that the MC has NFI  :(

Any chance we had of Kennedy coming on have been rendered a bit moot by the rules this season.  He is a bit one paced, which our midfield simply cant use more of.

We cant play Kennedy, Gibbons and Setterfield through the same midfield.

Can i tell you how Clarko will beat us? (if he beats us)

Put extra players behind the ball, get the intercept mark from our poor kicking inside 50 and rebound all the way to goals.
Tag Walsh, let Cripps go free.
Lockdown on Saad.
Smother our better users and let give our poor kickers time and space to help their game plan.

Kennedy is a poor mans Jack Silvagni.

Play him as a hit-up forward.
Both CAN run through the midfield (remember Jack dominated Fyfe) but its not something that is likely to work too often.
