I'd rather not underestimate CheatsFC, they are most likely playing possum just to stick it to us.

My personal preference is that if I see them playing dead on the road is to line them up on the right front and accelerate! ;)

Our older heads should be using this game to put the CheatsFC kids into a submissive and subservient mindset for the next decade, like so many teams have done to us before. Hurt them so much, they can't see any hope against us!
Whoever (teams) hasn't realised you have to play 4 qtrs at high level week after week, will get beaten by anyone. The penny seems to have dropped with our blokes, they have a taste of winning and it seems they like it. Flirt with form and odds at your peril.
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

Yep. In a funny way this game on Sunday is another test - winning a game we're expected to win, and win it well. How often have we made hard work or even fallen over against a lesser opposition over the years!
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I we plan and treat every opponent like they are "Geelong", we will do ok.

Nic Newman apparently underwent finger surgery today. Availability for this game yet to be determined.

I believe that Newey’s return to the team is a significant factor in our changed fortunes.  He’ll be missed if he doesn’t come up, even against the floundering Bombers.

He has done a few very ordinary and un-Newmy like things since his return. He may be on the slide. I personally wouldn't say his return was a significant factor in our 3 wins.

Bombers want an assistance package and the first pick, they wont be interested in winning.
