2 good sized outs for the swans. Papley is a difficult match up for us and Hannebery is a very consistent ball winner.

SOJ has looked to be playing under duress with that shoulder for weeks so I don't see him as a massive loss for this game.

Den Den will leave nothing behind. Play him on Rampe and Lamb on Mills to try and make them accountable and slow them down out defence.

I have a sneaking good feeling about this one, but I think that is blind hope that we finally get to see a win in Sydney after 6 long years more than anything. Just reckon the boys might be up for this after such a great win last week and wanting to put an exclamation mark on the season.

I think you've just about nailed it SBF.
Reality always wins in the end.

No swansong for KJ.

Bye.

Yes, sure seems like it.

I wonder if he's interested in an AFL career, and if another club will pick him up ?

If he can't get a game in a side that has struggled for key forwards for 2 years now, he's done at AFL level.

Yes, that's a fair point.

Both their ins are ok, Cunningham plays well against us and Newman is a player I wanted from Frankston a couple of years back and he is a great kick of the footy, saying all that we are a chance IMO and if it was in Melbourne a real good chance but I guess the Swans have plenty to play for and are the form team and will start warm favourites.

Interesting point. Both Chris Judd and Dennis Armfield will finish with 145 games at Carlton, fitting given Armfield was the sneak knives in the Judd trade.

His own fault. He's been  good in the VFL but if your attitude is bad you get what you deserve. He'll learn the hard way that you get one career if you don't make the most of it then it's gone.

Over 3 completed seasons, he's played 7 games for us. His attitude must be beyond appalling. No games this season, and 1 in 2016. I mean, not even getting a gig on the interchange, not even getting a half of senior footy, not even a quarter ?

Is there more to it than just bad attitude ?

I'm surprised that Armfield got a game because his last was nothing to write home about, maybe sentiment played a part.
If I was Rhys Palmer I'd just go through the motions next season, pick up the year's wages and retire.
Hannebery and Papley are handy outs for us but we'll still struggle I reckon, Sydney by 4 or 5 goals.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Whats worse is that he has failed to impress 2 coaches, 2 MCs. There is something seriously wrong here.
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

Not on VFL form as it actually very good. Anyone else would've been in the side long ago on that form so it has to be attitude, which i've heard is pretty bad

I guess if you count MM, Barker and Bolts, that's 3 coaches, which unfortunately, makes it look worse.

At a stretch, you could probably forgive 2015 - the club was in a bad place, and apart from that, maybe they wanted KJ in the 2's as a KPP for his own development.

But after that..........
