Considering that Jack Carroll had so little game time, I hope they play him in the 2's. He needs a good run.

Does Cooper Ford run out in this one.....?
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

For a change, the line-up is available today. Mirabile visu!

B:  [38] Sam Durdin,  [22] Caleb Marchbank,  [33] Lewis Young
HB:  [35] Billy Wilson,  [41] Domanic Akuei,  [55] Lachlan Young
C:  [43] Ashton Moir,  [25] Jaxon Binns,  [50] Zavier Maher
HF:  [19] Corey Durdin,  [34] Rob Monahan,  [3] Jesse Motlop
F:  [52] Liam McMahon,  [31] Harry Lemmey,  [54] Ned Cahill
R:  [45] Alex Mirkov,  [16] Jack Carroll, [51] Heath Ramshaw
Int:  [74] Logan Prout,  [77] Will White,  [57] Luke Nelson,  [64] Archie Stevens, [73] Dane Harvey,  [79] Jack Lefroy,  [80] Bailey Lambert

Em:  [56] Flynn Riley,  [62] Hayden Gill,  [75] Oliver Poole,  [66] Luca Goonan,  [58] Michael Lewis

Nice to see Carroll named, although he may not play. We wouldn't have named so many Emergencies is someone wasn't going to come out.
I guess Lemmey must be questionable as well.
Marchbank: an interesting question. I'd love him to play as he gives our defence some experience that we really lack. But, can he get onto the park?
I'm very happy to see Motlop and Corey Durdin named. That should improve our goalkicking. And both of them need a good game or three.
Our defence looks top-heavy, but I guess we have to play these guys. I'd be tempted to play Dom Akuei forward, especially if there isn't a decent matchup for him. He can take a mark, even if he couldn't out-body me.
Live Long and Prosper!

2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set

I would have liked to see Cooper Lord play, but it is probably a good idea to know his teammates first.

Or at least meet them!
Still with the system in place I see no reason why he couldn't have come in this week regardless of the lack of familiarity.

What a spectacle. 2nd bottom getting spanked by the perennial bottom team 😳

It seems one of those accepted truths in AFL that a whole-of-club positive trajectory is an important component of success for the seniors. If so, we've got a way to go with the VFL team. They seem to be going backwards.

Bullants Coached by ex VFA player player Rohan Welsh who of course played with the Blues until a terrible leg injury I think it was cut his career short. ex Saint long retired Sam Gilbert playing for the Bullants....

as much as this might be true, a lack of continuity and injury issue in the ones has the flow on effect in the twos.  It's also a 4 goal southerly blowing according to the commentary team which favoured the ballasts first quarter.   We'll see how the second goes I reckon which might give us an indicator.

Maybe they should merge....  🤣
