    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    It would be nice if we knew whether this recurrence has led the club to be extra cautious, and just delaying his return or because the conservative management so far hasnt had the optimal results, which is leading to contemplation of more extensive surgery. We havent been provided with that...

    Universal Love 2024 - The Year of the Navy Blues

    The most impressive thing from 2023, was that for a first final for most nearly all of the group, we managed to a. get through to the prelim b. perform admirably in the prelim Thats not a group that was overawed by the occasion. Thats a group that now has self belief. That says to me that we...

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    The biggest impact that Jacks loss will be on our flexibility. He can play tall or short , back or forward or ruck. I think his loss will only be felt when we have injuries that he might have covered. But our depth seems good and I really dont see him having an impact

    Is Voss our Entropy? That finally brings order from the disorder of Post Elliott blues. I think there is a message here.

    Prediction Poll - Who will be our highest rated rising star? 2024 edition

    Not to mention the concept of 'managing ' players. We now have sufficient depth imo, to allow us to think this way. Hawks did it very well during their impressive premiership run

    Tom Williamson had a similar fan base , and was mentioned many times. Doesnt always work out. But IMO Boyd is a great example of a 'role player' that premiership teams always have. Limited ability, but what he does well, he does well

    I hadnt seen this footage before. Apolagies if it has already been posted. I am very excited about Billy. He looks a great size with excellent disposal and a real play maker. I could see him forcing his way into the team earlier than we expect.

    Senior 43. Ashton Moir

    This gets said every year about every player. But the fact is that it is not how it works. If the player is ready- then he is ready. IMO stuffing a ready player into the 2s to protect him is counterproductive. AM seems really confident and if he is being frustrated by being protected in the 2s ...

    Agree. The Lions are looking super dangerous with their forward line setup which is probably the model for the modern day forward line. Looks like fix the med forward situation was the brief for Nick&Co and they brought in Elijah and now Ashton to add to Martin

    THE Carlton Reserves will see the following players depart the football club ahead of the 2024 season: Ben Crocker, Ben Ronke, Ben Moyle, Luke Parks, Mitch Moschetti, Sam Grant and Tyreece Leiu. Lots of if about Binns and Bens..... reminds me of my childhood

    Looking forward to seeing Zac back at his best. He thrived in a GWS team with an established star midfield for him to plug into. I think we have this now and Zac will thrive if his body will let him

    Interesting pick up. 2022 Austin wanted to solve the wings even though we had some serviceable ones. Picks up Acres and Ollie> serviceable ones out 2023 Austin wants to solve the small forwards even though we have some serviceable ones. Picks E. Hollands and Orazio> serviceable ones out?

    You can be as judgemental all you like, but at the end of the day , these elite athletes are human beings and have the same needs and wants that we all have. One of them is to enjoy themselves and have a break from their schedule. A lot of us non elite athletes smoke or have a drink. Its an age...

    Bluemour 'Silly Season' In Full Swing XXXV

    He has a whole preseason to build off his already AFL fitness base. There are draftees that are able to play round one and they wouldnt have the same base as EH has. Sure he may not be elite AFL fit, but he is not at draftee level. Plenty of time IMO for him to be ready for RD 1. He just has to...
