I think Rich will trouble us more than WC did today. I hope the trend of taking every opponent seriously every week irrespective of where they are on the ladder continues. If we take them lightly or treat them with contempt, we will do so out our 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

Indeed, Richmond have played their best football against us for the last couple of years, much to my irritation. I don't want us to take them lightly, but I do want us to give them a day they want to forget.

Pitto has struggled against Nankervis in the past, and we have not much of a plan B for that situation. Also Richmond will have Lynch back, and he won't kick that badly again.
If Weitering were playing, Lynch wouldn't get a kick, but Weitering isn't going to play. Dean and Derksen will need to be on their game!
Live Long and Prosper!

As good as Dean and Derksen have been, I'd imagine Lynch would monster them.

Not wanting to slip another banana peel under us this week, but our MCG form this year has been average.  Even in this 6-game streak, we were lucky to beat a badly-undermanned Essendon 3 weeks ago.

With two big matches after this one, it might be a good time to find some MCG form.

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

Mm, if Lynch starts any of his shenanigans and Deano is on him, let's just say... Can you still win the Rising Star if you've been reported and found guilty?

Remember that Lynch is an expert at getting frees through sneaky stuff. Be a handful for either Deano or The Derk.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
