    Preview 2026 Rd 13 Carlton vs Essendon Sunday 7th June 7:20PM AEST @ MCG

    Durham, Ridley and Redman expected to be named for them. Handy ins but still missing McGrath, Martin, Wright, Kako and Caldwell plus a few others that might be around the edges of their best team. By comparison we've had the best run I can remember injury wise this year, coming off a 9 day...

    Welcome Welcome to Carlton #4 Flynn Riley

    Happy with the selection if we can get some development time into him. Pitto is a serviceable AFL ruckman and I think Reidy is in the same mould so there is definitely a spot available. Riley has a higher ceiling but is still a bit raw. Good luck to him.

    Coaching Staff New Coach Search

    I'm not too stressed. Tassie will most likely pick Hinkley or Buckley as inaugural coach as a figure head and Essendon are tripping over themselves to appoint Hird/Solomon or one of their old boys. Would be surprised if they run an actual process. May be the navy tinted glasses but I think our...

    Preview 2026 Rd 12 Carlton vs Geelong Friday 29th May 7:40PM AEST @ MCG

    With Acres held out of the VFL it seems like Weitering, Williams and Acres will be the ins with Derksen and Carroll going out. The last out will probably be F Young, it would be a rough call considering he was overdue getting his selection in the first place but that’s footy sometimes I guess..

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 11 Blues power away from Port to win 2nd game in a row

    Great win - held strong when they got a little sniff late in the 3rd. You could name most of the players individually tonight for their efforts but to keep it short Cripps' first half was immense. Harry Dean, Jagga Smith and Jack Ison all playing above their years. Billy starting to feel more...

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

    Will have to wait for ODN’s usual graphics but I think I’m counting 7 with 10 games or less experience (Jagga, Dean, Wilson, F Young, Derksen, Ison & Byrne) Obviously Derksen and F Young are mature ages but hopefully some youthful exuberance can get us going this weekend. Good experience for...

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

    No changes unless we have picked up an injury. Frank and Haynes were probably in contention to miss out at half time but both had some important moments in the second half. McGovern had a quiet game but has been good for most of the year since going forward again. At least this week the VFL...

    Autopsy 2026 Rd 10 Blues get new coach bounce over Dogs

    Man that’s a good feeling! All our kids 22 and under were great - Ollie, Cowan, Wilson, Carroll, Ison, Jagga and Dean Ollie Florent was fantastic especially early before some of the others stood up. Harry, Cripps and Hayward last 2 games so good. Also thought Nick Haynes fought back well and...

    Preview 2026 Rd 10 Carlton vs Western Bulldogs Saturday 16th May 7:35PM AEST @ Marvel Stadium

    I don’t mind it.. Ison for Saad is rewarding good 2s form and makes us younger at the same time. Also allows players a chance at proving themselves under a different coaching philosophy (maybe some players felt they were held back by Vossy’s style or role) Although we had an awful second...

    Preview 2026 Rd 10 Carlton vs Western Bulldogs Saturday 16th May 7:35PM AEST @ Marvel Stadium

    Agree with all the others, but I'm more open to moving on Cripps than Newman. (although I think Acres has one more year on his contract we will need to pay out). I still remember watching that video where he was coaching Harry Dean through his game review in the U/18s and he would be like having...

    Preview 2026 Rd 10 Carlton vs Western Bulldogs Saturday 16th May 7:35PM AEST @ Marvel Stadium

    Would like the younger guys to get a crack but hopefully we don't just hand games out undeservedly as well. Flynn Young is owed a run from his form in the 2s and Ison has been flashing for a while now. Billy Wilson has earned an extended run. Hopefully we push guys like Moir to earn it...
