Tag Zach Merrett and they would struggle. Run the ball, make sure the handballs stick, run, link up and support. I hope Charlie plays further up the ground, he is a line breaker they would find difficult to contain.

Think you'll find that cheats.com.au have been hit every bit as hard as us re injuries to key personnel... best two mids out (Smith, Shiel) for starters.

Our best has them covered, easily. 44 pt win to the BlueBaggers.

Wet Weather...I'll go Blues by 17 points...going to be a slog but they just have too many good players out who
would have been handy on a wet day.

Does your team have its collective back against the wall? Is it riddled with injury? Is the coach under pressure? Fear not, your opponent this week is Carlton, we'll help you get your season back on track.
Cheats by a bit.

P.S. Come on Blues, prove me wrong please.
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

Lang and Fas would want to do something this week, both have done SFA so far.
I would be putting Dow on notice this week.

Sad but true.

We are heavily reliant on our over 100 gamers in a way that no other side is.

For each one that's out, you halve the effectiveness of two others.

It's difficult to judge this one.

Both sides have players out...Our outs probably affect us a bit more because of the experience we lost.
If it is wet....We struggle to kick around 70 points in dry weather...and our main goalkickers are tall forwards, one of which is missing.

The big concern is how we respond after last week.
There was a lot of focus and attention on the coach and the poor record before the Saints game.
There were team meetings...
We built ourselves up for that game and despite an improved effort some of the old issues were still evident.
Often when you put that amount of focus into a single week the next week is a let-down.
For that reason...In many respects it's this game coming that's a greater test of character and attitude.

There's lots there to point to a loss but that ignores the key factor...This is Essendon, and we usually come to play against Essendon
Blues by a kick.

It would be nice to be able to put Dow on notice.
But who takes his place?

I’m looking for one of  the ‘younger brigade’ to have a breakout game and push Cripps aside as our ‘BOG’, get high points in the coaches awards and make everyone sit up and take notice. Walsh has been consistently 8/10 and just works his butt off. I want a ‘wow’ game from the likes of Setterfield, Kennedy or Dow. But it won’t come from them.  Liam Stocker has the poise and presence to do that at some stage. He presents like he belongs and he’s not overawed like O’Brien, Dow, etc are at time. 

Hopefully it this week, but if not, it will be soon.

SPS and McKay have been the only ones to rival Cripps for BOG so far this year. (Freo game aside where Cripps was soundly beaten)

I think Curnow is due for a solid performance.
I'm not sure any of the more lightly framed kids are capable of that at this stage of their career.
