Thanks windows1. This is going to be a VERY exciting pre-season. Let me be clear - the ONLY thing I desperately wish for is health. I’m not asking for any more than that - just give us a good run with injuries for once & let the players develop.
Generally takes about 3 years/50 games for players to truly break out - plus the growing cohesion of our particularly young list - and as a result I expect there to be a few players who completely jump out of the back.
Delighted to consider Walsh, Setterfield, Fisher and Weitering the first wave. Would love to see similar progress from Dow, Cuningham, SPS, LOB, Marchbank and Kennedy. Just want Williamson to stay healthy and give him time. And I don’t just want - but I NEED - Docherty to stay healthy. He bloody deserves it and he is an absolute freak.
It’s a shame that the duo who will define our side & give us our most dominant edge - C Curnow & to a lesser extent McKay - are battling injury. Might be a blessing to force the rest of the team to develop properly around them, rather than rely on their freakish game-winning ability.
Bring on 2020.

Yeah Samo is 100% playing off half back in 2020. Not sure what it means for Simmo, Newy and to a lesser extent Plow/Marchy/Doc but we'll have some real options back there this year. That's not even mentioning Willo.
Yeah, I don't understand his poor endurance either. Comes across as a guy who takes care of his body, given the low bodyfat %. But perhaps this is just his natural state.
I also don't remember endurance being a significant weakness of his around draft time, although it seens he was injured and didn't test. Never a strength, certainly.
Oh well, one can only hope he is doing the necessary background work.
Agree with this. It seems fixed that they want to give him the ball coming out of the back half.
At one point last year he compared his running to Cripps. He’s kidding himself. Crippa flogged him today.
Gonna spend a lot of time in the VFl if you’re a Carlton kid who can’t two way run.
Im also looking at you Liam Stocker. That running effort today was a joke.
Moved well today Matty. Me likey. Just keeping watch on him out of the corner of my eye at the moment...
It means when everyone is fit
Doc, Jones, Plow
Marchy, Weiters, Samo
everyone else battling for the 7th defenders' spot
All I want for Xmas is for Docherty to get through the pre-season.
It's easy to forget just how much better organised we are with him in the back-line.
Petrevski-Seton will have every right to feel confident with Docherty by his side.

I like the way he’s going about it. Involved now in all drills but modifying the way he goes about it. I sat in front of him when he and a trainer were discussing movement techniques.
Yep - even Simmo - although it will start off being his to lose.

Samo has been watching lots of 80s Kylie video clips...
....and is now into arm warmers
Not so easy doing the Tayla Harris pose after an ACL or two...
There is nothing specifically outstanding about this photo, yet somehow it's brilliant
I think its because Sam knows how to get from photo to op to photo op so easily...
Sometimes Ikon Park gets tilted off the earth's access
Kemp was told NOT to taunt Fisher and Gibbons with a game of keepings off.....
Does Setters look like George Harrison here?

Did Willo accidentally start following Simmo's diet and weights program?
Not enough love for this photo...
We have installed the Carlton hovercraft tech into Jack Martin's shoes
Hopefully has a happier ending...
LOB accumulating another uncontested photo....
Has Josh Honey been wearing Eddie shorts for the last year?
Have his thighs ever seen sun? #WhiteHoney
Oh yeeeeeahhhh, Darcy Lang is on our list....
Huh?! Fancy that...

Maybe Bolton was onto something (albeit 12 months early)
Williamson and Kemp look like school bullies, I love it
