Ok. 7..

I have a feeling this is the game Charlie finds form.. 6+ Lock. It. In..

Can't wait for this game!! MCG. Saturday. Playing against an unbeaten team full of confidence and almost at full strength. Our game plan is the key to winning this game. We have to run & carry, create overlap through handball and short kicks to break up their zone. We won't get within 5...

That’s information not many would be privy to. I’m really interested to know where you got it from. Is it what you have been told or what you think?

Not sure why we would play Cerra as a half back/mid. He is a pure mid. The logical thing would be to bring in a hbf’r (Cincotta) for Williams. The Williams injury occurred during the game, which is the only reason Kennedy went back (because we had no other options). If Cerra is fit, he comes...

The mail I’ve got is: Cerra- not likely Fantasia- ill - not likely Weiters- 60/40 Williams- 50/50 Binns- 50/50 (puff piece on club website = debut) Source - this place, H/S, FB, SEN, Carlton website, my brother (who drove down Royal Parade early this week). 🤪😜

Seems to be a few people being told that players will/will not be playing. I find that surprising that we would know on a Tuesday, and disappointing that the club is leaking this information to fans. I like us holding this information close. Call memos school 😎

Not sure if its been mentioned. Nice piece on Cowan on the Carlton website. I reckon we've got a beauty here. Great size. Tough. Penetrating kick. Is still very young..

I have seen us play Geelong at the MCG the last 10 times. What stands out is how helpless Charlie and Harry have looked over the years, with Geelongs defenders bodying them at the contest and allowing a Blicavs or SDK or Stewart or a ruckman to mark the kick uncontested. Down the line against...

Thought I'd covered off on that, maybe didn't make it clear enough. Geelong play this 'spare man in defence' system brilliantly. To the point where when Stewart went off, Zac Guthrie played the role perfectly. I expect him to be playing this role against us, so hoping we have put some serious...

Williams has such a poor history with injury that we are best to rest him for as long as it takes to get him back to 100%. Should not risk long term injury. Don't mind Cincotta in for Williams; he will be desperate to show his best. Has been in our best when he's played in the VFL so is ready...

Winnable game if we change our mindset. I thought we were timid and our intensity was way down. Funnily enough I don’t think Charlie has been anywhere near his best. Time for him to show some leadership and tear a game apart…against a top quality opponent. Maybe he needs to take a look at how...

Freo basically beat us in every aspect of the game, yet lost. Go us..

The commentary of this game was next level cringe. The way they hyped up ‘the inspirational Essendon captain’ was beyond ridiculous. Merrett tackles - “what an inspirational captain this young man is” Merrett kicks a goal - “he’s lifting this football team on his shoulders”. Merrett tackles...

Some very very selfish forwards at Adelaide. Tex, Pedlar, Rankine. Me, me, me footballers.

Agro by name…

Watched the game through Bintang goggles. Found it to be a really hard watch. We looked by far the better team throughout the night and dominated in all areas in the second quarter, yet still down at 1/2 time. Ugly, ugly game. Few highlights. Plenty of horrible mistakes. But the thing that...

I. Don’t. Like. Richmond. Boys. Please show the football world what we are capable of against a mid-range team whilst missing so many best 22 players. Weiters, Walsh, Martin, Motlop, Marchbank, Elijah, Pitt, Doc, JSOS..

Will be interesting at team selection this week. Motlop clearly our number 1 favoured small forward. If he’s over his injury does he come straight in or need another two weeks to be cherry ripe (bye follows round 1)? Who out of Owies and Fantasia does he replace? Jack Carroll will be elevated...

Big shout out to TDK. The Big O dominated against us in the PF. TDK jumping all over him the entire night. Looking like a genuine number 1 ruckman 👏👏👏

Wowsers! Just stumbled home after 250,000,000 Bintangs. Please tell me we won. Please tell me Harry was the hero. Please tell me I am not dreaming. Please..

Decided the best place to watch this match was to escape Melbourne. Have booked a prime spot in a great sports bar in Bali. Tough match. Brissie in Brissie. Injuries to key players. Hot, humid conditions (I’ll push through and keep hydrated on Bintangs) 🤫 Some surprising selections- Owies and...

Watched the last quarter of the Essendon v Geelong practice match. One thing stood out like the proverbial - Zach Merrett!! The fearless ‘lead by example’ skipper. Boy oh boy is he a ‘must watch’. Those leadership skills are there for all to see. Running behind his teammates demanding a cheap...

So in summary Big Durds has been managed - hopefully see him v Melb Williams selected in the 2's - gets through that and will be good to go Round 0 Marchbank has had COVID - should be good to go Round 0 Walsh is firming to play Round 0 Owies, little Durds & Jack Martin all touch & go for round...

I was told it was load management. No injury. Don’t ask me who told me. But that’s what I’ve been told, or read, or overheard.. Hopefully he’s good to go v Melbourne because with Weiters out, Marchbank probably out and kemp misfiring Geelong we don’t have many other options.

Hi all. Went along with a couple of carlton-mad mates. As stated. Terrible conditions. Hot & windy. Geelong clearly handled the conditions a lot better than us, which was a tad disappointing. They ran a lot more numbers during the game. We stuck with our selected team. Before I get into the...

Fair chance. We need another marking forward with Jack x 2 unavailable. We will definitely play at least a couple of nippy goal kicking small forwards. Could also open the door for Fog and Cuningham. H Charles Moir/kemp Motlop Orazio Cuni/Fog Doc & Cotts playing wing as well

Watching a re-run of open mike. Diesel and Mike Sheehan. One of my all-time faves. Funny bloke too..

Still think we were a long way off a couple of things that should be easy to remedy. Hoping we implement scenarios in our training to improve. Our kickouts. We were better last year, but always look a bit shaky. Must work on this so that we can work the ball out easier. McGovern has to be the...

I’m with you. Do we back our ‘defensive team’ and go with 3 medium KPD or do we maintain our structure and go ‘like for like’ with a Young or big Durds? Soapy has been at a heap of training sessions. I’m sure he will let us know.
