Also for people who believe in omens, I left Melbourne on June 17 (the day before the Gold Coast game) and am currently sitting in an airport on our way home from Europe. 

3 Leos... divert to the US. Amazing 8 week holidays on offer there.  :))  :))
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I haven't washed my right hand since shaking Alex Jesaulenko's hand Round 11, 1989...but that has nothing to do with our winning games...that's just bragging. :D

I think the best we can do is Boyd for Ed, the cupboard is bare. Whether Boyd is straight in for Dow or Fog remains to be seen.
or/and
Does Young or Sam Durdin come in to help combat their talls? Marchy out for one of them?

I hope Kemp gets up. We CANNOT afford more injuries.

Fogarty can't go out. His pressure is what turned our season around.

It will probably be Ed or Hollands that drops back to the VFL.

As much as Hollands can run and run, the Dees are a different proposition in both run and body composition to the Aints, and the Aints were already physically dominant.

Our club has to play the long game with Hollands, we can't pulverise him early in his career like we did sMurph.

Agree
I don't think we'll drop him for this game...but he does need to be carefully managed while he builds some size and strength.

One of the big differences is that Murphy received little support from team-mates
Teams that come at Hollands will have a different group of Carlton players to deal with.

Very good article with interesting data and analysis - is the ABC becoming the best mainstream sports reporting media outlet?

OK article, don't agree with this opening assertion;
"Many whispered about his future, and whether he'd be the same player he was."

Most important technical info from that article is the Walsh data point, that's all about decision making and awareness, a player who isn't obsessed with the goals.

In terms of Charlie versus McKay, the stats ignore the changes in role, Harry gets a lot more up the field this season providing us with that contested marking option coming out of D50. I'd assert that is why his F50 stats are down, and not so much about us favouring Charlie.

The ABC always has been in my lifetime … with the possible exception of the Sporting Globe back in the day.

Hard to see who Boyd might displace this week. Ed might be the logical choice but it's hardly a like for like. Boyd was being used off half back and that's where Fisher slotted in last week. Dow did enough to retain his spot and Hollands was very good in his first game back. The backline seems reasonably settled, albeit missing McGovern.

I think someone posted earlier in the week that Kemp was just cramp last weekend, not a hamstring....haven't seen anything written in terms of an injury?
