Carlton's best is the best in the league, but they very, very rarely reach it.
Sydney, Port, Geelong, Melbourne and GWS all tlin the same bracket as the Blies.
Throw a blanket over all of them. Tight race.

Half way through the year I predicted we would only win one more game for the season, against West Coast. I'd given up COMPLETELY on the team and on football.
I've never been so happy to be so wrong.
I've been saying for a while now that we had the team to compete and go the distance. The...
Utter joke that the AFL is wheeling out these geriatrics. 40 years ago they would have gone alright. Why not get an age appropriate band? What would be the average age of the attendees at the GF? 40, give or take? Maybe 35?
How about maybe bringing in some talent that made it big THIS...
Sheedy, Hird and Dodo. The father, the son and the holy ghost. The Essendon holy trinity.
Almost guarantee there will be back room rumbles to bring Hird in in some capacity.
And if Scott starts talking s**t about Dodo, then Scott is gone. It's as simple as that.
Whilst this is true, you're still looking for excuses.
I guarantee that you wholesale transplant our current squad to Geelong, Sydney, Collingwood, Hawthorn or Adelaide, and we'd be top 8. More likely top 4.
Collingwood's list is worse than ours. Essendon's list is worse than ours...
So Hawks now definitively better than us. Again. No really high draft picks, rookie coach, back of house turmoil, no Brownlow medalist, no Coleman medallists. But they're improving week after week. They're playing to a plan. They're playing for each other.
Really goes to show how wholly and...

The only change I made was Jordan Dawson for Crom. He's listed as a General Defender but he's been Midfield for at least the last 4 - 6 weeks.
Some interesting observations:
It's...
The Gold Coast Suns have a strong core up front with King and Lukosius leading the way, supported by Ainsworth, Chol, Holman, Day, Casboult, Rosas, and Jeffrey. In the back half, they have Ballard, Collins, Powell, Weller, and Budarick, along with Andrew, Atkins, Long, and Lemmens. Their...
It doesn't matter. None of it matters. Just give up. It's easier. Renounce and emancipate yourself from the Groundhog Day hellscape that is the bottomless pit of misery and ineptitude of the Carlton Football Club.
Yeah, just had another look at the draw. We'll only win one more game if we're lucky and that's against West Coast in round 19.
Can't see us beating Hawthorn, the Giants, Freo, Essendon or the Suns.
Looks like 16th or 17th on the ladder to end the year.
Melb 58.17.365 vs Carl 0.12.12
That's my prediction. And yes I'm aware that I'm being overly optimistic and unrealistic. We'll never kick straight enough for 12 whole behinds.
I've literally flicked the game on on two separate occasions today and each time we looked panicked, no idea where our teammates were or what they were doing, and eventually a soft turnover in a dangerous part of the ground.
Absolutely ******* useless.
We need to stuff the soft cap and bring...
