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? ;D

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.
Hansen wont be there....

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.



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.

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%)

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.

I watched it with 3 collingwood supporting mates.
All 4 of us said it was a terrible game to watch, with terrible skills.

If non-fans enjoyed it, its probably because 2 once great clubs were looking very average!

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.

We are just going by what he has been saying so no reason to doubt him. He's staying but as the senior assistant apparently. Will be alot of other changes though as you said. Did hear or read he was having issues on the home front meaning he doesn't want a top job yet but could be wrong about that too. You often hear BS as we all know. Might be like Scott Camporeale, when he took over Adelaide might year after the terrible murder of Philip Walsh. Did an outstanding job but simply didn't want a top job. Fraser will be a good coach one day but next year might be assisting Corey Enright.
