We’ve lost it at the selection table IMO
Its round O FFS, we might win by 10 goals.
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

I think Young and Weitering are as mistake, Derkson should've got a gig.

Weitering i don't think is fit and i think he should've been rested until he is 100%.
Young i think is lucky to get a game, and i think Derkson has been better in the pre-season games.

I'm not sure what Chesser has done to get a game either.
Moir and Fog would be a bit lucky too.

Pretty much agree. Think Moir is an X factor so don’t mind carrying him a bit so long as he puts in effort.

I had my 23 sorted a few days ago and checked it against what we actually chose.

I was only 2 off.

I didnt have fogarty and young in the team.
Instead i had byne and derkson.

The 2 others i mentioned, chesser and moir were the last 2 picked. Moir being picked due to the x factor we all know he has.
Chesser because it was essentially a toss of the coin, so just went with the new guy.....but with little confidence in him.

With a few players coming back in next couple weeks, theyd want to have a big game, young too.

There is a lot of argy bargy about winning and losing this game.

Reality is the media have been predicting our loss since trade week, before the draw was even out or the lists were even settled! In recent history if we lose they'll say "I told you so", if we win it will be "An upset for the ages" or "A game the Swans lost!", most will never claim Carlton deserved the win!

Yes the media have done quite well setting this up so they can't fail.

It's always a big ask playing the Swans in Sydney and even more so when there's so many newbies in the team.  I think that that will work in our favour and we'll continue on from where we left off in the practice matches; another score of around 15 goals and a comfortable if hard fought win.

Lots of Bluebaggers around Sydney. Saw Caleb Marchbank in Circular Quay.

Was it his walking frame that gave it away
Looked good actually, has a young child these days.

Like a lot of blues fans had a soft spot for the big fella - was a period where he strung a decent run of games in a row and was just starting to show how good it could be. Then something let him down as usual. 

Body was cooked from the start unfortunately

Extremely talented, just had a body not up to the rigours of AFL at the elite level.
