OK article, don't agree with this opening assertion;
"Many whispered about his future, and whether he'd be the same player he was."
I'll put my hand up as one who thought he would never get back to an elite level. I always thought he was a knock away from shattering that knee cap for good. Thankfully I was wrong, long may he remain elite.
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

Charlie is getting better and better hard to see where his ceiling is going to be.
His marking, leading, goal assists, smarts in the contest, ground ball goals he is the quintessential modern complete forward that only Kouta could envy.

Re his marking, whilst he is a strong contested mark,  I doubt we will ever see him sitting on anyones head anytime soon (like we started to see pre knee injury).

GTC....he took a nice big hanger against WCE over here earlier in the year sitting on Hurn's head.

I love the way he wheels and goes and kicks low and hard and accurate, but noticed in the last few weeks he's butchered a few of those here and there.

Most important technical info from that article is the Walsh data point, that's all about decision making and awareness, a player who isn't obsessed with the goals.

In terms of Charlie versus McKay, the stats ignore the changes in role, Harry gets a lot more up the field this season providing us with that contested marking option coming out of D50. I'd assert that is why his F50 stats are down, and not so much about us favouring Charlie.

Chicken and egg.

I think he was pushed away from goals because he was abysmal in front of them.....and in general.

Remember i was in favour of giving him a rest and playing TDK in his place.
....think about that.....coming from me.

Competition for spots is heating up.. Boyd not making it in 22 is bad luck for him to be rubbed out on a great hard tackle and Fish will need to be on his toes with repeat performances. This is a very good thing.

Blues go in unchanged for the first time in 3yrs.

Dees add Grundy and Oliver. Handy additions.

Our spiritual leader Doc plays his 150th. What a phenomenal achievement 👏🏼

We've had a knack of winning milestone matches of late. I jokingly said we need to have them each of the remaining weeks, and we have 😆
None more impressive than Doc's 150th.

Docherty absolutely is the spiritual leader IMO, but he played his 150th a couple of months back, against the Lions.

Those ins for Melbourne are interesting. Curious to see if they've ironed out the kinks with Gawn/Grundy, and curious to see if Oliver is underdone.

I'd imagine most of us are hoping there are kinks everywhere. If there are, let's be ready to take full advantage.

Wasn't Boyd supposed to be 'straight in'?
Is he the sub?

I wonder if S Durds as an emergency is cover for Kemp (if he doesn't get up).
