    And now Rowell with a broken finger from the SOO match will miss opening round.

    Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 3

    Is it simple? Has it ever happened? (i.e. player given clearance to return from the Inactive List) Sure, there's a clause in the rule to allow it to happen, but if that clause has never been invoked, it's hard to say whether it's simple or virtually impossible. Having said that, putting...

    Injury Blue Healers Medical Room 2026

    I think for the same reason we do leave him out for Sydney and Richmond. The risk of re-injury followed by an extended outage is just too great, we can't afford to have him missing a large chunk of the season.

    Glenn Manton was a huge fan apparently.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    If we don't, someone else will. I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion with the medical staff about the likelihood of further flare-ups with his back, but unless that's a real issue, then giving him a long-term deal on good $$$ is a no-brainer. At his best, one of the top midfielders in...

    If anything, it makes things worse. The current system is designed to give lower clubs better compensation for losing a player than higher clubs get. Hence we get anomalies like Hawthorn getting pick 19 for Buddy, and WC getting pick 2 for Allen. It's not about the player's "worth", it's a...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management III 📃

    As JJBagger suggests above, I think there's a general assumption that Mots will be placed on the Inactive List, given his injury has been reported as season-ending. Or perhaps the club has already done so, and just not announced it.

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management III 📃

    Nothing has yet been announced regarding Motlop and/or O'Farrell being put on the Inactive List. As far as we know (yet), there is only one spot remaining to be filled via the SSP. There are two players (White and E Hollands) with train-on positions for that spot, but the spot can be filled...

    Take your hand off my kids ipads

    I haven't been prompted on FB, so I assume they figure if I've been on their platform for >16 years, then I don't need to. Insta isn't an issue for the same reason. I've got a prompt on Bsky to go through their 3rd party age verification process, which I've ignored. The only consequence is I...

    The Cats have been banging on about this for years. Want all their home finals at their house of hell. In a fair and just comp, it would happen this way, but it won't. $$$ wins.

    One thing to note. If/when we place Motlop on the Inactive List, we will be able to appoint two extra official "train-on" players. Assume this is where the talk about Derksen is coming from. And maybe Murray.

    We did that a couple of years back (Latrobe Uni). Worst preseason ever.
