Cats are over rated by the media riding the draw & the absence of injuries. If we up our fwd pressure so they can't transition off half back, we will win.

We are the fittest team in the comp tick russel. Even a greater achievement given we lack a bit of pace.
Most of the injuries are to players who are injury prone, older or due to collision.
I reckon we are aiming to pitch the AFL to allocate portion of Ireland as a Carlton exclusive zone and part of the trip is to draw the map that allocates the talent exclusively to Carlton. Then we try and find a corporate sponsor.
Collingwood is the game for flag favouritism. Geelong have proved nothing yet, they will need to go to another level to beat Carlton. Their advantage is their coach. Their weakness is their best players are mid 30s and already resting players in round 6
It takes 7 years to make finals from the first season you attack the draft. Kangas are in Yr 2. Do not implode as a football club. Carlton went through the same process. In 2o18, 3rd season of the rebuild, we wooden spooned, because we lost our senior core to age, trades, injuries and played...
No Changes. Cincotta comes in if williams does not come up.
Cats have had an easy draw. Brisbane in the slosh and Saints at the cattery, We are their first big test
Kennedy deserves kudos for the role he has played this year. He has replaced JSOS as a utility, playing mid, fwd, back and ruck- plugging holes as required with many 20+ possession games.
I tipped us but a stunning win. Could not see it 20 points down in the 3rd. In a state of disbelief at 3/4 time
Crippa was special
Walsh
De Konig and Pitto. Was I watching Wow Jones anf Fitzpatrick. Percy and John Nicholls?
Few believed in 2 rucks but Vossy delivers Pitto 17 posessions and TDK 3...
Sometimes you tip with blind optimism, knowing deep down it is a punt on hope. This week is a real test for Vossy. Charlie to kick 6+. Crippa to have 30+ 2 goal game.

On what planet, do you move a developing intercept defender, who took 14 marks and made 1 bad error, to a forward pocket and replace him with a guy who has played 2 qtrs of football in 3 months and is coming off concussion?
Surely, this is the week you play a debutant.
I would give Moir a taste. There is no cost to us with the injury list and the silky skilled types need exposure on the big stage. It is not like Fantasia's defensive game is strong and he isn't a 23 game player, so a freshen up will help him.
Lucky!!!!
Our centre bounce mids are out of form
Small forwards?
O hollands needs a stint in the Twos
Curnow is a game breaker

Jordan Boyd and Kemp Excellent
