Wouldn't be the first time that all the planets are in alignment for a memorable underdog victory, for us to fail miserably. My scars over the years have not healed over yet.
Three weeks in a row, the boys have gone out and got the job done (as they should have). I personally dont care who's is in or out for us or them, what I want is that the no nonsense, high pressure, high intensity, selfless footy continues until round 24 and if those planets align, beyond.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I think most importantly, they more than got the job done. 

Is it just me, or does the team seem more ruthless in the last 3 weeks?  Easy to say against average opposition, but 3 weeks in a row they have put the foot down, and not let up.  I've been waiting for ruthless to come back into our playing agenda for over 20 years.

That is new...... and I think gives them a chance against better opposition.  I guess we'll find out on Saturday.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

looks like the word is out about Port absentees, odds on the AFL website are not far from break-even now

Hmmmm not sure i like this news as much as most blues fans - liked the thought of them as favorites and us as underdogs.

Now the pressure is back on us to win this while they are weakened which in the past never worked out well for us!

Hopefully we have progressed past that

Looking like Dixon and Rioli are out as well.

Good in that our defence has a better chance. Bad in that we won't get an assessment against one of the best. Regardless, I hope we show the same insatiable appetite for the contest, tackle hard, and show some dare & flair 4q.

Trent McKenzie (injured), Charlie Dixon (soreness) and Jason Horne-Francis (back) out.

I wonder who the other 4 are?
Rioli ?

That's a lot of change.

Presumably Marchbank on standby for McGovern?

If they wanna rest blokes, so be it. But this is a big chance for us this weekend......with West Coast next weekend also in Melbourne. Could have us right on the edge of the 8.
