    Autopsy 2026 Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - 4 points but alarm bells still ringing

    It was definitely a different feeling scraping that win but will always take it over losing. Some can be too quick to forget how bad those years are where we'd get smacked every week and the only hope is for a good #1 draft pick, it is much more awful than hearing the song after a game. For us...

    VFL Carlton Reserves 2026

    I have only been watching bits and pieces of the VFL praccy while at work but Boyd definitely covering the ground much better than last year. I've mentioned before but he looked heavy and/or injured last year, none of that today. By my count might be Moir's 3rd goal but he seems hesitant to...

    Preview 2026 Round 1 Carlton vs Richmond Thursday 12th March 7:30PM ADST @ MCG

    Decent changes. Would have liked to see Fogarty and Young out of the side, but can only guess they are placeholders for Evans and Haynes after the bye and I think once you get into 4-5 changes in a week it seems more panicked than needed for Round 0. Happy O'Keefe is getting a look, much better...

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

    Doc was spot on with what he said and I have no issues with him saying it... but also have no issues with the club pulling him from the event. Heat is on the players to respond now.

    Preview 2026 Round 1 Carlton vs Richmond Thursday 12th March 7:30PM ADST @ MCG

    The Dogs rolled Brisbane with Bont, Libba, Kennedy and Freijah running through the middle. Ed Richards is a bit quicker than them but I wouldn’t call him lightning fast either. Is it personnel or method that makes us look slow? Either way I wouldn’t be writing off Cripps just yet.. he’s just...

    Preview 2026 Round 1 Carlton vs Richmond Thursday 12th March 7:30PM ADST @ MCG

    There are a few spots up for grabs in the VFL praccy - is it going to be streamed anywhere? Early decisions should be Out Reidy - we had a look at the 2 rucks and it isn't going to work. Move on quickly Fogarty - have to go past him now. Too slow and doesn't apply the pressure required for the...

    Preview 2026 Opening Round - Carlton v Sydney Thursday March 5th 7:30pm @ SCG

    Surprised there is so much consternation about selection. Thought most of the selections made sense. Byrne played less than 2 quarters across the practice matches and there is no sub rule. He looks like he will make it, but will need to get some game time in the 2s and Frankie is now injured...

    If we're taking a big squad up, I wonder how many we can get back down in time for the VFL praccy match on Friday arvo

    Preview 2026 Opening Round - Carlton v Sydney Thursday March 5th 7:30pm @ SCG

    Can't see us bringing anyone outside of Weitering back in for next week. Think Newman, Cowan and Carroll won't be ready or risked. It is a shame Weitering wasn't available last night, it would have been good to see how Derksen might go as a secondary tall forward with Weitering, Dean and Young...

    Game Day AAMI Community Series - Carlton v Geelong Game Day

    Didn't expect Wilson to be left out with Cowan and Newman still not ready yet. Otherwise as strong a side as we can name.

    Prediction Where do you predict Carlton will finish in 2026 and why?

    Surprisingly bullish about this year. 7th-12th in the middle 6. Being on the upper end of that is reliant on some good luck with injuries. Especially keeping our remaining top liners Cripps, Walsh, Harry and Weitering on the park will be integral. Hayward, Florent and Ainsworth will be handy...

    Training 2026 Training - reports, pics etc

    Would also be curious about this but assuming 1AW and family are based in Echuca so would require setting him up in a place with another senior player or host family. Also don't know of his school situation (may need to complete year 12 this year?) and might be disruptive to education if he was...

    Training 2026 Training - reports, pics etc

    I know it is hard to judge from one photo but on that ig pic Boyd looks trimmer - good to see, he was carrying too much weight last year. Don't know if that was injury related or not but hopefully a better year for him.
