Kangaroos, Melbourne, Collingwood and StKilda were pretty traumatic for my kids lol.

Should have lost to Essendon and Geelong were ripped off.



Not sure about that.  Poor against Essendon yes.

Argument that we should have beaten Geelong by more even with the missed Dempsey goal

Should have beaten Pies (played one short), North and Melbourne.

Haven't been to as many as you this year thanks to the poor timing of games, but am hoping to see my first win this week with the young one as well.

Fingers crossed.

He had his left knee heavily strapped early in the season
And at times has been wearing varying degrees of wrist strapping.

I'm not confident this week, after watching the replay of the GWSD match I saw signs of the team work ethic slipping, in respect to reverting to some bad habits that have largely been absent for the last few weeks. Against CheatsFC it was just ugly execution by both teams, but moments in the GWS game saw a bit of selfishness returning and to me that's a bad indicator after only a handful of wins.

Believing their own hype maybe?

Wet Toast will think we are cherry ripe for the picking after seeing some of the old stuff creep into the GWS game.

Nothing's guaranteed, other than if you go into a match thinking you can't lose.... there is a fair chance you're going to get rolled.

Weiters didn't complete his fitness test so we're going with an unchanged lineup.

Weiters does seem to struggle with sofe tissue injuries - perhaps a consequence of having humungous muscles.

Our line-up:

B:   14 Oliver Florent   47 Wade Derksen   26 Nick Haynes
HB:   2 Lachlan Cowan   35 Harry Dean   15 Billy Wilson
C:   5 Adam Cerra   18 Sam Walsh   13 Blake Acres
HF:   46 Matthew Cottrell   11 Mitch McGovern   12 Ben Ainsworth
F:   17 Brodie Kemp   10 Harry McKay   39 Talor Byrne
F:   27 Marc Pittonet   9 Patrick Cripps   7 Jagga Smith
Int:   19  Will Hayward   24 Nic Newman   29 George Hewett   30 Jack Ison   44 Francis Evans
Em:   4 Oliver Hollands   6 Zac Williams   38 Flynn Riley

[1] Disappointing that Weitering didn't come up, but we do need to get him fit. Too often we bring guys back too soon.
[2] Interesting to see Riley as Emergency again. Williams and Hollands sort of pick themselves, if they are going reasonably.
[3] Can Brodie Kemp learn to kick straight?
Live Long and Prosper!

With calves the size of his, its bound to take longer than any other mere mortal.
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
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Well, I suppose everything comes at a price, and he's certainly not Joe Average in the strength stakes. I remember when fans were throwing rocks at him for being too small to stand gorillas! ;D

I also remember when the club mismanaged SpecialK, and turned the AFL's most hardened aerobic ruck beast into a 120kg chandelier.
