Not expecting much from us, to be honest. All too often we;
[1] get out-coached in the matchups.
[2] butcher the ball.
[3] play in patches.
[4] not tag better players out of the game.
[5] not get enough from important players.
Live Long and Prosper!

Not a hope in hell, Dogs by 30 pts
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

We are one side the Dogs have nightmares with, even when we were going badly. We win this week. We beat middle of the road teams. Even when they beat us in 2021 we were 27pts up near 3 qtr time. We'll likely lift and pump them then crash and burn against the Pies the next week in meek Carlton fashion.

Dogs hate playing us. We'll lift this week, as we do often the week after a pissant effort, then c0ck it up again a week later. Middle of the road sides we usually beat.

Fans are forgetting, Dunkley got us last night, he isn't at the Dogs anymore!

I expect a significant rebound, as I said before the Wet Toast game after Charlie's earlier shocker he'll be mustard one week and mickey mouse the next because that is the way it goes with most KPFs!

Agree, Dogs are patchy like us and I think we will rebound and win but then have real problems with the hard running Pies the following week.

Flakey inconsistent players like Fisher should stay in the VFL
Honey is no where near it and his time is up
Durdin is on a road to no where and back in the VFL as not good enough for AFL.

Owies and Cottrell the ins for me.

I would say Boyd will come in for Newman seeing he's out for a week.

Yep, we have a better chance of beating Dogs than Lions:
1. Good recent history against them as we match up well.
2. Dunkley gone.
3. Treloar out injured.
4. There’s either no tag available for Cripps or it’s not practical as they want the Bont and Libba to hunt the ball. At worst, Bont will play on Cripps but not as a tagger.
5. Harry and Charlie don’t have obvious opponents. Jones has the pace and height to match Harry but Harry should be able to drag him outside 50 and blow him up and Charlie won’t give him the sort of straight lines that Jones likes.

If Ed Curnow holds his spot, sic him onto Bailey Dale as an ultra-defensive half-forward to stop Dale from using his elite kicking skills to set up play.

I forgot the other good omen - Zaine Cordy is gone too. Wow, what a bullet we dodged there.
