I think he does okay and deserves a few games to show what he's got.
I can tell you what he’s got without him playing if you want.
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 the selections I would have made … and that’s why I’m never going to be on the match committee.

O’Brien has been a smidgeon off a spot in the 22 and is our next best winger after Acres and Hollands (with Binns snapping at his heels).  His selection is a no-brainer.  Repay the faith Lochie!

Honey is a polished performer and is the logical replacement for Owies.  He doesn’t need a lot of opportunities to have an impact on the scoreboard and he provides a counterpoint to Motlop and Durdin.  Make the most of your chances Josh!

It will be interesting to see who gets to be the sub.  Cincotta would be my pick but I think Mr Plow might get the nod.

Backs:  Sam Docherty  Jacob Weitering  Lachie Cowan
Half-backs:  Nic Newman  Lewis Young  Adam Saad
Centreline:  Lochie O'Brien  Patrick Cripps  Ollie Hollands
Half-forwards:  Zac Fisher  Charlie Curnow  Jesse Motlop
Forwards:  Corey Durdin  Harry McKay  Jack Silvagni
Followers:  Tom De Koning  Adam Cerra  Ed Curnow
Interchange:  George Hewett  Josh Honey  Mitch McGovern  Marc Pittonet
Emergencies:  Jack Carroll  Alex Cincotta  Paddy Dow  Lachie Plowman

I probably wouldn't have selected O'Brien or Honey, to be frank. They haven't done enough to deserve the spot.
Not sure who we will select as sub, but Carroll has had 1 reasonable game, while the others have played reasonably well.
Live Long and Prosper!

Feel exactly the same way... especially re Honey, he is a bloke who can create an opportunity and is very effective when he creates/gets that opportunity... let's hope he can up the ante and grasp this opportunity (3 opportunities in one sentence!) and give the MC something to think about for the Croweaters game. And, really, the same goes for LOB.

Agree that Plow will likely get the sub vest, though I would prefer Cincotta... puts his body in and is more attacking with aggot in hand. Though Carroll has sub history and can make an impact.

Matthew Lloyd on FC also showed we dont put teams away with stats on our last 5-6 games and said we need a 60 point win vs Nth to show we can bury teams. Jimmy Bartel mumbled something about us getting timid and trying to hold on when we are in front rather than continuing to attack and crush teams.

With great reluctance, I agree.
We have had the usual revolving sick bay door, which hasn't helped. Despite that, we've had few convincing q's, let alone a convincing win.

We can see our W against the cats was as much a sign of their status, as ours.

LOB and Honey in doesnt enthuse me but we should still win by plenty given the outs for Nth are major with their two key defenders injured. Charlie and Harry should kick 5 each....Blues by 42 points

Or maybe a lot of Blues fans think its going to be an easy kill GTC. North will be more competitive and tougher physically but they dont have much weaponry  other than Larkey down forward and have two large holes down back given their two first choice key defenders are out. If we cant give them a good rodgering then its going to be a long year...

Looking at the team selection it is obvious Clarkson thinks that we are susceptible to pace.

I have H&A access (home reserved seat) and I tried to reserve a seat on Monday with no luck. I tried a number of times before ringing the club. They sent me a link, $47 a ticket!! The Carlton guy said just turn up and sit in GA on level 3 which I thought ok that's what I'll do. I think I have Buckleys chance of that now. I assume many CFC supporters had the same issue.

The more I look at our emergencies the more I am inclined to think that Carroll will get the gig... more likely to come on with run in his legs and have more of an impact than the other three. Just a thought.

Just did a tour of other forums and YouTube channels to see the opinions of others... specifically, who will be the sub. Seems Carroll, then Plow get the nod.

Would have liked to have gone today but we have our Easter family get together on as a few family members are  going away on holidays so that stuffed that idea up. I reckon being the first Easter Friday game and a bit of a novelty it will have created more interest and Im not surprised you have had booking issues.

Dow and Plowman playing now in the VFL (and getting heaps of touches). Neither Cincotta and Carroll are playing in the VFL match.
