Martin should buy a tattslotto ticket,  after the last month he's lucky to still be on the list,  let alone be in the firsts.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I can't see us getting up, to be honest. With 2 rucks we had a chance.
We have Markov and Pittonet out for God knows how long and Casboult suspended. Can we get any lower in the ruck stocks?

No problems, Jones & TDK will be our Rucks.

And who plays as a key defender?

I reckon Cripps will spend time in the ruck and that concerns me.  Five ruckmen on the list (counting Mirkov) and only one is available  :(

Meh, ruck hasn't been our biggest problem IMO. Could be a breakout game for TDK. I believe he has it in him. If I had my way I'd do a Richmond and play a midsize. Preferably that would be Silvagni. At least you know you'd get effort. Something like that out of left field I can't see our blokes trying.

Look at this way G2C; going into a game with only one ruckman and one genuine key forward (and a passenger or two) will test our coaching panel's ability to improvise and come up with tactics to cover those deficiencies.  Are they up for the challenge?

Crows by 36!

Only gammon ...  we will get over the line by 9 points  :)

Pitonett out for the season having ankle surgery, plus Fisher out this week. No Levi, Mirkov out 4 weeks. We are nearly ruckless.

Maybe go with 4 smalls in the centre square and not compete for the tapout......haha. Actually saw it done in the AFLW this year. A ruck got injured and knowing they weren't going to win any taps put 4 smalls at ground level in the centre square. Worked like a charm. Went along way to turning the game around as they had the outnumber at ground level and dominated out of the centre.

Its not a bad idea and one that has been tried, kinda, a few times already. Gerard Healy suggested it.....

Play CRIPPS in the ruck.
He already takes some boundary throw ins and around the ground ball ups.
We get beaten because his opponent runs off him when he is playing midfield.
If we use him as a ruck (keep in mind, he doesn't actually have to jump, or let himself be jumped on) then he will be able to run with his direct opponent (a ruck) and we will be able to have a quicker midfield while not losing out in ball winning ability.

Leave Jones and Weitering down back.
Leave Harry up forward.
Swap TDK and Cripps as ruck/forward.

You know it makes sense!

Fisher?
In for two out for three
In, out, in, out, in, out

There's only a handful of players on our list that are robust, the rest are flakey.
We should be the Carlton Cadbury's  ::)
Always Flakey
2025... Moir of the same to come

I saw a report gibbons out for the season too with his hamstring.

We have now shifted from winning to development mode.

Lochie o brien in is a tell.  Some blokes are playing for their list spot now.

The tell is 4-9 that that its development mode.

We just seem to be so brittle ....

And with nuthin' much to fall back on, it makes it all the more obvious.

Like @Thryleon‍ I see this more of an effect than a causal trait, the continual bashing of the club, by media, by fans, by the club executive, has an effect.

When players fold under pressure, heaping more pressure on them is not the cure, Bolton's ethos was seriously flawed as too much adversity will just eventually crush the sufferer. Cripps almost broke under the Bolton regime, it cost Bolton his job!

Why would we voluntarily self inflict such pain, maybe Carlton and it's fans have become a club of masochists?
