Preview 2026 Rd 9 Carlton vs Brisbane Friday 8th May 7:30PM AEST @ Gabba

[ctwenty1]

I actually think Cripps, Harry and Weitering are the ones coasting through on reputation at the moment.
Walsh is having patches of good footy but he also goes missing when teams get run ons against us.

Cerra seems a bit of a pile on in here, he’s been ok since he came back in without setting it on fire.
Hayward is a victim of Vossy’s high half forwards having to run half marathons each week and Saad was ok-ish last week, certainly not worth being dropped.

Voss is going to be sacked soon anyway so it will be interesting if he drops a senior player or two as a message on the way out the door.

reckon that dropping the 2025 BnF was one message

[mochacinolatte]

We are already dead.

Outs: Cottrell, Cripps & Reidy.

Ins: BAcres, Hewett and HOK.

 

[MPH78]

Hopefully their Carlton players AND coaches whiteboard gets leaked this week.

 

[The Fantom]

This will be Voss’s farewell game. Brisbane will maul us.

 

[Aphrodite]

Forfeit

 

[Baxter Wolf]

Be fitting for Voss to finish his career where it started. Kind of like Shane Warne and Geoff Marsh.

 

[SolGoodman]

I'm being 100% honest,

No changes except for the injured, keep the VFL as is, until there's a coaching change then the side stays as is for mine.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Out: Jagga, Dean, Carroll, Cowan
In: Hewett, Young, Fogarty, Acres

Don’t want the kids playing under Voss anymore, play them in the 2’s and grow together with the other kids, under a positive coach.

 

[BlueLocke]

Brisbane going to need a second whiteboard for the “weakness” column.

 

[Gokz]

This is gonna get ugly

No changes

Let them all rot

Leave the VFL team alone, they are having fun

 

[David Sylvian]

Can see Brisbane resting a few for this one, why wouldn’t you?

 

[Revenant1995]

Brisbane currently on 128%. Above them are Freo 133% and Sydney 178%. If for Brisbane percentage will something later this year, they will want to smash us...

I think we can beat their reserves.
I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Faucon Bleu]

Rather watch the VFL at least they try, and are winning and giving an effort. Does the VFL have membership?

 

[Zlatan]

I’ve done a 180 on my view for the first team; bring in all the senior players and let the juniors develop in the VFL. Let Cripps, Saad, McKay etc cop the belting at AFL level, they’re getting paid way too much money to be out of the spotlight at how much they’ve declined. I don’t want any of the juniors near Voss or the other stooges

 

[COACH25]

Out Cowan , hollands , Reidy, cottrell and Cripps ( managed) I would have managed him after Fremantle game.

In Hewett , Acres, ISON, lord and Flynn young.

 

[branedotorg]

I'll watch it but expect a loss and hard to care

Yep, well said. I see no point bringing in the kids for this game. Protect the younger players let them enjoy a season in the VFL & only promote sparingly across the rest of the year in games we might not lose by 50+ points.....which is probably looking like 1 or 2 of our remaining games.

HOK getting a game says it all.

He’s good at being tall - that’s about it.

 

[Korn]

Play the kids, play all of the new recruits, they have not been carltonised yet.

Out: Dean, Smith, Carroll, Cowan

Carroll out? He one of the few having a dip.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Can someone go down to open training this week with a massive speaker and pump Benny Hill music for the full hour.

DM me - I’ll happily pay for your time.
