Maybe Martin in for Cottrell if he’s injured?
McG for Durdin

Still worried about Ollie…his disposal isn’t great.
Jack Carroll did alright today, but unsure how he’d go against bigger bodies PA mids

Boyd and Kemp also chances

Thought Ollie was ok today and gave effort unlike many of his teammates.
His disposal and decision making needs work but he was a contributor today.
Carroll...second efforts are poor, spectates too much  if he can't get the ball...

Just can’t emphasise how important this game is - to both sides!

If we win, we’d be pretty good odds to finish top 2.
If we lose, can’t see us in top 2, and top 4 at risk.
DO NOT want to play Syd or Lions at their home grounds.

On the other hand, if PA lose, can’t see them making finals.

HUGE stakes.

Thanks you. That was a typo of extraordinary worth.

Carroll gets knocked/bumped off the footy easily. Ollie competes hard from go to whoa, happy to give a second year who is a goer more time even though he makes mistakes from time to time. His upside is very good.
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

They are 21 and 20 respectively, they are just beginners and yet they exhibit above average capability, they both have AFL type traits.

Carroll was calm and cool in traffic yesterday, that's a rare trait, sure he got pegged but given how often Cripps, Walsh, Hewett and Cerra get pegged in space it would be a bit hypocritical to be roasting Carroll or Ollie for the same.

I think TDK and Walsh will be out. Both are sore and the game is in 4 days time.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

They've both been playing sore for several weeks, Walsh is a freak but it may be the club has to force him to act in his best long term interest.

It looks like Port have been hit with a few injuries also, it's hard to get a read on the result.

As much as I find some of Chris Scott's complaining behaviour distasteful, he's the trend setter at managing key players to be fresh in Sept, at the moment we are doing the exact opposite. Of course I accept that all club's can't do much if a list has too many injuries.

They simply have to give Binns a go on a wing - 47 touches in the twos.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Did you watch the game, the Filth 2s were basically jogging behind uninterested?

Having said that, you can only play against who you play against, and against that lack lustre opposition you'd expect AFL capable types to have a big haul, and Binns did just that.

TDK out for reminder of H&W. And will be a race at best to play any finals footy as well. Terrible news.

Massive loss.  Pit while serviceable as a ruckman is a massive down ground on TDK around the ground and a non event as a forward

Injuries: Clarkson; what do they have in common?
I rarely hate people, but Clarkson ... I haven't forgiven him for Ian Aitken, and probably never will.

Fun fact....
There was a list i saw recently showing each clubs 'lucky charms' starting from 2000 onwards.

Each player must have played 6 or more games in a season and missed 6 or more games in a season to qualify. Then the win/loss record is compared with and without.

FWIW....
C. Mcrae (Bris - 2001) 19-0 with and 1-5 without (83%)
C. Dear (Haw - 2024*) 8-1 with and 1-7 without (70%)
D. Cuningham (Carl - 2023) 11-1 win and 4-9-1 without (63%)

I've been trying to get cunners into the side for a while. With a few injuries, he should be starting this week!
