A St Kilda backline with Brown and Carlisle looks a hell of a lot stronger this year. And their forward line is multi-pronged now. I know a lot think that the Demons will be big improvers this year but the Saints have a much stronger and experienced spine.
I'm not convinced with Brown, I'll wait for the real stuff before I'm convinced

At the very worst he's a tall defender. They may go in with just Carlisle once the real stuff starts, but he at least gives them a second option for a reasonably capable shut down tall defender.

When was polo season?





But.. but... but... the GWS list proves SOS is a master recruiter!!!11!!!1!

Derp derp Carlton derp derp
Must be difficult to put together a good side, when you have a team nearly full of 1st round picks.

Mind you now GWS are a force, SOS is more use at Carlton as they will be getting early draft picks for the foreseeable future. ;)

Kochie. Lets play a game a China but we will choose an opponent who wears the same colours as the Chinese national flag. Brilliant!
I gather there were only two takers

GWS - but losing by 25 goals would be too humiliating

Gold Coast - they suck which is handy but the colours...

Lesser of two evils.

What happened to that Carlton clown that spent so much time on here in the pre-season letting us know what a great list they now had and that they were finals bound? I watched a bit of both Carlton's pre-season games so far and----ughhh! They'll be lucky to avoid the spoon this year, even with megastar Gibbs up and firing on all one cylinder.
Head on over to the Carlton board if you want a chuckle. That same donkey went and started a thread about the media being completely against Carlton.

Carlton are in for a few more seasons of pain, to many recycled players

I've never been convicted with Bolton as a senior coach and I just wonder how long Carlton will be patient with their coach
That 1st round draft pick for Gibbs would have ben really handy for Carltons future. Good job SOS.

Imagine what St Kilda would have done to Port last week if they didnt stop after the fist quarter.

Saints will make the eight and do some damage.

It's all pre season that's purely speculation.

Not saying Carlton won't be crap this year and Port aren't likely to make finals but any pre season form is pretty much worthless.

For me seeing how brutal St Kilda have been with the running game reminded me of Port in 2013, I wonder why:cool:

Out of all the games so far that has been the standout for me. How well drilled those Saints players are.

My ladder prediction has both the Saints & Dees as the teams moving in to the top-8 & pre-season hasn't seen me change my mind.
