Practice Maths....

2 + 2 = 4
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Crash’s educational focus showing through 🙂

It will be nice to see whether the blokes who are “flying” continue to do so against real opposition.

Apart from that, I’m looking forward to seeing how Jack goes at CHB and whether Jagga can continue to be a ball magnet against AFL opponents.

Not a lot of idea as to how we'll line up as yet, but I do expect jack Silvagni at CHB and Jagga in the middle. How many other young'uns will be interesting.

Personally, a fit Gov is a lock, he's comfortably the best ball user coming out of our D50 and we can't fit them all in. If Charlie and Harry are fit, you want Gov hitting them up from 50m!

The best ball users never get noticed until the f0rk it up, Houlihan and Scotland were the same, you just expect them to find a target.

The only thing I'd say against Gov is that he's not as brave at target selection as Weiters, at the death when you need to roll the dice Weiters is the better choice.

No Ben Campo is a bit of a surprise for me, getting some early career games into kids is usually desirable, injured?

It never hurts to give a kid a few minutes of pre-season against some old body, just to see what happens.

Ben is recovering from an infected ankle.

Would have thought Boom recruit Frank the tank would be displaying his wares, tearing up the stat sheet and dazzling us with his brilliance vs the mediocrity that is the Stkilda football club.

Paddy Dow will also miss after his infected knee dramas over Christmas but I guess he's not that notable ...

He hasn't learnt the 'playbook' yet. :D

We'll teach him how to pass to an opponent soon enough.  Just have to make sure we get rid of any polished to his disposal first and workout how to make him run through treacle

Frank is the 44th player on our list. Most of the other 43 probably have a decent head start over him when it comes to getting a game in a practice match.

I would have liked to see Frank going at it with Stocker but we’ll just have to look forward to Corey Durdin giving him a touch up again.
