Carlton Supporters Club

One thing that is really killing us is that there seems to be absolutely no structure in the forward line.
It's a dog's breakfast.

Campo named on the field

Looking at who is NOT on that team tells us a decent story.

There is 11 players unavailable due to injury.
Add to that Elijah and his 'mental health' and thats 12.

Players who have AFL experience and who are not picked in the best 23 (with games played)
Young (67)
Boyd (35) - deemed not fit enough it appears
Binns (3)
Moir (2)

Thats 107 games of experience on the sidelines

Everyone else is injured and/or yet to debut.

So kudos for Lucas getting a game, he deserved it.
Evans gets a gig as a newbie (although he has played 34 games which may surprise some)

But its pretty clear that if you are fit and have played a game, you basically get a spot in the side.

There's over 570 games of experience sitting in the rehab room across 7 players who you'd probably find a spot in the side for half of them if they were fit.
Charlie
Newman
Cincotta
Elijah
Pittonet
Durdin
Fantasia

Suddenly i'm less confident about our chances this week as i don't really know who is missing from Richmonds side and if its similar or if they are much fitter.

We continuously let them get handballs off when we tackle, still.

How nice would Owies be now 🤦🏻‍♀️
