I was reading a piece on Robert Louis Stevenson earlier tonight.
He wrote a book about Carlton's 2026 season.
"Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" :D

'Turning point' or an 'abberation.'
A 'one off' or a 'new beginning.'

.The important thing is that we don't drop back and produce some insipid performance next week.
Consistency and four quarter effort and the results will come.
And the players, and Voss can make it just that little bit harder for the decision makers.

Looks like we've picked up a few injuries...Walsh, Florent and Williams.

Genuine question .........

When was the last time McKay played like he did in that second half ??

He led into space, he took one grab marks and then best of all, he stayed away from the kick across the body in favour of the traditional version ........ and guess what, it looked much better and worked much better.

I still think he is on the way out but his potential trade price got a nice shot in the arm tonight.

Great to see glimpses of form for all of Hayward, McKay, Cerra, Smith, Cripps, Walsh, Cowan, McGovern and Ainsworth & continued great form from Carroll/Newman. And, whilst I’m not a fan of either, Hollands & Pitto also lifted.

Weitering was ok, as was Hewett and I’d stick with Wilson.

Williams, Saad, Evans ……work to do and Kemp’s kicking? Nothing publishable to say.

I don't quite know what to feel ... I guess I mostly feel empty. To show so much in the second half and still come away empty handed ...

Was it all for nothing?

Our structural problems are still there, no matter how much heart some of our players showed, The ruck rules crucified us again: when both rucks step over the line, why is it that ours don't get the free?

Patrick Cripps: you stood up today. Still got issues, but 32 possessions, 9 clearances, 5 tackles and a goal is a huge improvement from last week.

When has another team kept harris Andrews to 5 disposals?
