And we're a week away, even though we're still in February...
This is a massive game for a new look Carlton.
Weiters back in to put Charlie to sleep. Have at it.

Zaine Cordy has been sent straight to the Tribunal for an ungraded offence for his shepherd on Tanner Bruhn.
This is a simple case, Cordy was allowed to lay the shepherd. If he got him high...

It seems that under the most recent AFLPA deal, that the rules regarding delistings have changed, so that (essentially, the official wording may be different) players who are to be delisted must be told/delisted within 2 weekdays from the end of their season.
Does anybody know the actual new...
The AFLPA are taking an active interest in representing the Essendon players (approximately 1/18th of their membership) to get either no or minimised punishment.
If they are guilty of doping, the AFLPA getting them off is against the interest of the other 17/18ths of their members, having...
Anyone get the impression that Mick is taking a long-term view and not really bothered with these early games?
I think Ratts would have coached victories against the Tiges and the Filth.
Mick seems very measured about the lapses that have lost us all 3 games. He doesn't seem desperate. I think...
Does anyone know how many banked compo picks there will be after this years draft?
There is Geelong's 1st rounder, but I can't remember how many others have been banked and not activated (obviously this number can increase if GWS takes any more uncontracted players).
Ok, so I though Kreuzer was shot and should have been rested.
I thought Curnow was undeserving of a game ahead of Davey.
Thought T-bird should have played.
Ratts was right, I was wrong. What a brilliant win.
Now, nobody outside the club really knows what assistant coaches really do so this may be premature, but Paul Williams was brought in to focus on stoppages. And then we did that to those who are supposed to be the best stoppage team in the comp.
So a toast is in order.
Also, John Barker...

WTF.
I think Diesel needs to have a sit down with the DVD of the 1993 GF. This is unacceptable.
Rusty was on The Morning Glory about half an hour ago.
Key Points:
-They had to widen the doors at Visy Park so Watson could get his head in
-Having Watson in the backline is comforting, because his giant head offers protection
-Didn't feel confident and belonging in the AFL until 3/4s of...
Does anyone know the exact Rules for retaining Rookies for a second (or third) year, ie how many you can keep? A link would also be appreciated. I have searched the AFL site and cannot find a definitive answer.
Thanks.
