    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room 2026

    Pain can sort of be controlled. But will and confidence ... they mean a lot! I recovered pretty quickly from most of my ops, except the knee replacement. (I was usually back in the gym within days, basically as soon as the bleeding stopped.) I really struggled with the replacement. I lost...

    VFL 2026 VFL Rd 9, Carlton vs Coburg, Sunday 24 May 1:05pm AEDT, @ Coburg

    Not our worst. 16 possessions, 1 tackle, 2 goals one. That s a fair bit more than Chesser.

    What we need is a key position type. We just don't have many.

    Nice to see a few of our names there for a change. How Naughton got in is an interesting question. He got maybe 1 possession that wasn't a free kick.

    Preview 2026 Rd 11 Carlton vs Port Adelaide Saturday 23rd May 7:35PM AEST @ Adelaide Oval

    Having players do so well in the 2's is a huge positive for us, as it gives us options we've been missing in previous years. That means that of someone is sore, we can afford to rest them, as the replacement will probably do the job. The only exception I have for that is the obvious one: the...

    VFL Carlton Reserves 2026

    Hasn't been selected, due to having so many AFL guys available, and the VFL guys we have used being so effective. Not disappointed, to tell the truth: I don't think he has what it takes.

    Indeed. He is looked more comfortable as a defender than he ever did as a forward.

    Speculation Jed Walter

    Indeed. While Walter would be a nice get, it wouldn't help their real weakness in the back half. I'd say they would be more likely to try to get Jordan Butts.

    He had a knee injury near the end of the pre-season. He should be back reasonably soon. Another tall would be very useful.

    Restricted Free Agent Ben King

    As said on Channel 7. Not a huge surprise, the way that Gold Coast are headed. Still, that will take one of major Free Agents off the table.

    MVP Coaches Votes 2026

    Sometimes I do wonder if some people realize we actually play. I might scratch my head about the coaches' votes, but some of the 'Best Players' in the media don't mention us at all. If we get within two goals of the reigning premier, there is usually a reason. But do we get recognized? The...

    VFL Carlton Reserves 2026

    I like Riley, but he is too much like Reidy. I don't think we can have both of them on the list. I like Hogg, but I don't see him having the weapons. I love his run and carry and his willingness to work. I'd like us to consider a tall, but it doesn't look like we'll have an MSD selection: we...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    I would really like to pick this guy up. He is the sort of ruck to build a finals team around. Pitto is a warrior, but he will never be the sort of ruck who wins games.

    VFL Carlton Reserves 2026

    When I left to tutor this morning, we were five points in front and probably lucky to be so: neither side knew how to kick at goal. So, imagine my surprise when I turn the computer on and we win by 122 points! I am going to enjoy watching this replay! What I can gather from the statistics: [1]...
