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.

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.

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.

I have been happy with Fraser in that respect. Despite pushing towards a wildcard he has kept the youngsters in the side. His main goal to leave Carlton a better place at season's end and may well do that.

So you agree he's leaving?

I won't argue with you, I think it's the most likely occurrence too!

Personally, I think the end of 2026 is going to see a lot of coaching changes, perhaps the most ever in a season.

Season is unover (that a word...haha) after Essendon beat GWS.

Yes you a right Laj, after today's result season is not quite over for the Blues ! 
Baggers was also was telling me not to put up the white flag yet!

Still hope coaches will gradually feed some of these kids into the five matches left in the main season.

Hate the thought that we will see likes of Ben & Lucas Camporeale running around in Port or Adelaide colours for years to come without having been well tried at AFL level by us.
