Go see an eye doctor, with what you have been drinking/smoking/ingesting, I am tipping it is not the glasses.

Total bullshit call!
Hendo's minimalist training efforts are worth worrying about. GCBC?

Gc.
We need hendo (and jamo) to play 20 games if we want to make top 4.
Watson won't be ready for full time chb duties just yet.
Minimalism is a legitimate perspective.
But he does need to do more.
ROK to take out a nominated rookie position, GCBC?

BC...but not a completely ridiculous call.
We've technically got two nominated rookie spots heading into 2013 but we already know that Bell is to take one of those spots.
That leaves ROK, Collins, Dale, Cachia and Curnow to fight it out for the other one, if indeed we do decide to hand it out.
I don't give Dale or Cachia much hope for the nominated rookie position and from that list you'd probably have to say that Curnow is well and truly the front runner. It's an experienced bunch for a rookie list but Curnow is the second-most experienced behind Collins, and arguably the most ready for senior action.
As with most things however, this does all depend on what transpires throughout the preseason. Curnow would surely currently be ahead but a good preseason could well change that in ROK's favour, and it does seem that Mick has taken somewhat of a liking for Rhys. Could be a nice option off half back, particularly given Scotland's early suspension but even then I suspect he'd be behind a few (White, Bootsma, Bell etc).
The other thing to consider is we may well choose to place Andy Mac on the LTI list, which would open up another nominated rookie spot, for which you'd have to say that ROK would be well and truly in contention.
Murphy to re-establish himself as a genuine goalkicking midfielder and at least double his 2012 tally of 11 goals. GC/BC?

GREAT call Jeremias, lets not forget he was injured for a good part of 2012, and in 2011 he did kick double - 22.13 to be precise. 19 goals in 2010 and 31 in 2009 suggest this is more the norm, and his injury interrupted 2012 was the exception.

Good call J.
Murph is a superstar. I have no doubt he can get his 2011 form back or ever surpass that.
Watson will play over 12 games this year?

GC, we will try to use him as a bigger bodied option as Mick experiments with different structures.
Warnock to play a fair few games this year, GCBC?

GC. Warnock is a tap out machine. If he is fit he will play about 20 games.
With our new-found depth of healthy forwards, Garlett to have a cracker season as he will (possibly) be minded by a lesser quality of opposing backmen.

Great call. Jeffy only had the one bad season, a season that was destroyed for many of the key players that he relies on to enable him to bring his A game (he can't do their jobs as well as his own at a top level, nobody can). He'll be back. I fully expect 35-50 goals with quite a career high in goal assists. FWIW quite a substantial amount of the game's regular 22 small forwards would die for a season as good as Garlett's poor one last year - 29 goals from 22 games with 12 disposals, 3.6 marks and 3.3 tackles per game. He's elite and will bring it this year.
Malthouse to rely on somewhat of a rotation pattern with Henderson, Jamison, Watson and maybe one or two others involved in an effort to keep the first two as injury free and firing in time for the finals. GCBC?

If we make finals its a possibility. Our Rucks have a tendency to get injured, and even so, its far from certain that Warnock would be one of the two rucks expected to play from Round 1. The NAB Cup will tell us much.

Bad Call IMO. If they are fit, the senior guys will play unless woefully out of form.

Me.GC, obvious call. Which opposing backman is a better quality than Garlett?
Pilates doesn't seem to be working for Waite/Shane Watson, GCBC?

It's not Malthouse's style to do that though.

IF, God forbid, the Tigers, in a stroke of luck happen to beat us in round one that we, the Carlton faithful, to go off our heads right here on Big Footy. Baying for blood. Calling for sackings and threatening to burn memberships. - Good call. Bad call?

Of course. Too obvious.
Really? I'm calling fifty/fifty. Half will go nuts - the other half will be absolutely rabid.
