Im thinking "We Are Carlton", win the unwinable, lose the unlosable. Until they stop doing that, it will remain in my psyche.

Hard to argue, but gee, this was their team last week. And I reckon Guv will come in for TDK.

Rather get TDK right for Port.

Collins and Burgess both 194 odd (JSOS' height).

Harry is 204, plus wing span advantage.....

Get the ball in quickly, give him space, and have Betts/Owies loitering.

Finals, then 4 in a row!

No doubt mate, on paper we should smash them but we seem to find a way to mess up opportunities.
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

That's the old Carlton, the new one emerged last week. Get with the times.

And that is the issue, right there. This week we are expected to win, and win well. Gulp.

Three options: just win against an opponent we should beat comfortably (our pattern), lose to a side we should beat (our pattern) or break the pattern and win well.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Anybody who points out who should win and by how much before they actually see which players are playing in the team are setting themselves up for disappointment.

I always wait until the teams are announced. Our hopes depend on who is in the team (or who isn't) and how that changes our team balance.

For the past 2 weeks i've gone against convention and got the winner right. That is based off who is actually playing.

Without a ruck (and 2 key forwards + 2 key back) we are behind the 8-ball before the ball is bounced.
With them all, lock it in.

North have been in much better form than their ladder position suggests.  The Suns, on the other hand ...

Of course, Dew could get the Suns up for the game but, realistically, we should win well.  The question for me is whether we stay ruthless or take the foot off the pedal and coast home.

Suns were very poor last game so there has to be some extra effort from them which might reduce the margin but if we cant beat these hackers by at least 5 goals we probably didnt turn up to play.

goldies to answer critics and we will be like 5/6 goals up at 3/4 time and they will kick 4 in row and us to win by 15 pts
