Carlton Supporters Club

Impressive stats all round.

Moir's only kicked multiple goals on three occasions in his 13 games...including one where he kicked 4
That's what we need to see 3-4 goals a game to make up for the missing moments.
He doesn't have to do it every game but at least on a regular basis.

I like what Moir brings, has the talent.to be a superstar but he kind of lost me in the first quarter of opening rd when he gave up a chase way too easily.

I would like to see him get a few games later in the season once we are officially done. Saturday is still a live game and he can't be trusted yet.

Ison is my preffered option at the moment.

I've been wanting to see Derksen forward since he joined us, and I also noticed that he had a run up there at the end of the Collingwood game.

It needs to be an extended run though if we're really to see if it has merit.
The absence of Weitering complicates things a bit though, and we may not have the luxury,

My concern with Moir is more around the 'selection integrity'.
Is the one or two  goals a game worth as much as someone running, chasing providing pressure and turnovers.
How do you justify giving him a game ahead of someone who might be busting a gut to get an opportunity and performing much better in the VFL.
Blokes like Ben C and Charleson would have to wonder.

In our area Tritons have become increasingly more popular with tradies, I see them on job sites everywhere. Rangers are now popular with the weekend warriors, they seem to have replaced the Landcruisers and Patrols as the weekend vehicle of choice.

Top-selling utes in Australia for 2026 (H1)
Australia remains a ute-loving nation, but sales took a dive during the first half of 2026. In particular, the volume-selling 4x4 ute category dropped to 96,153 units (-11.1%). This impacted not only diesel models but the BYD Shark 6 PHEV, too, although the new BYD Shark 6 Performance and Cab Chassis variants now available should boost the Chinese brand’s sales during the second half.

2026 Top 5 utes in Australia (H1):
Ford Ranger – 26,314 (-7.0%)
Toyota HiLux – 22,607 (-13.9%)
Isuzu D-Max – 12,908 (-8.2%)
Mitsubishi Triton – 10,351 (+12.2%)
BYD Shark 6 – 9493 (-8.9%)

No point risking either Harry or Cerra IMO.

I just got through showing Moir's stats in another thread. He kicks over a goal a game and kicks accurately in front of goal. 2 things our forwards don't do.

I wouldn't play Kemp in the middle, but i wouldn't mind seeing him on a wing as a connector between defense and attack. Resting deep forward.

HOK vs Young....are you playing to win, are you playing for the future?

I had this down as a game we should win.....i'm not so sure now......but i reckon we could 100% lose it at the selection table.

Thought about Kemp on the wing. He'd be a nice link coming out of defence. The issue i have with Moir is his workrate. No doubt a real touch of class as he has shown at times but I wonder if he will become another Troy Menzel. It's why he hasn't played more often. He looks like the type that will frustrate the life out of us all. Be so good if he was able to improve all that as he has some class.

Not winning actually makes it easier to take a back seat to whoever is appointed.

Just on the game...
If you weren't invested on the result like fans of both sides it would have been a pretty good game to watch.

Weitering is still weeks away.

Pitto desperately needs to play.

Do we bring back lewis young??

With cerra out, it's time for a camporeale. Do we want ben in the guts or lucas on the wing?

Up forward the cupboard. I've earned about this, now reality all hit us.

Id bring in moir and tell him to play deep forward.

Interesting selection week.

Good questions, K. Here's some more.

Do we really want to risk H and Cez?

Do we reward ordinary Magoos form? Specifically, do we reward Moir's ordinary form with a senior gig? Likewise the Campos. HOK has been ordinary but his last appearance was better. In for H? Lewis Y in to take on King? Harry Charleson has been reasonable in the Magoos... give him a lash at senior level? Likewise Flynn Y.

Do we give Kemp a run in the midfield, changing with Crippa?

Boyd's form has been okay... replace Cez?

Try Ollie H again?

Thursday evening's team selection will be fascinating.

I'm looking at the hybrid Ranger, simply for on board power.
Can run a fridge and have power when camping which saves me carrying extra batteries.

Supposebly gets a $h!tload better l/km but when work pays for that, i don't care.

Is that assuming you don't need the full load or towing capcity?

Go watch a replay and look at sam walsh. His long ball on top of someone's head (not to our advantage, but over 50m so it's an 'effective kick') played right into the oppositions hands. He needs to sort that out. Look at jagga by comparison.

Love them both but Smithy also has a big flaw - he has a tendency to handball at the feet of teammates. Really gotta fix this. Fumbles and turnovers, as we saw last night, are death in this    game. Even a mediocre side like Collingwood will kill you on the rebound.

Ford need your business, without the Ranger they would be out of business....
