I reckon only Kennedy and Walsh are out from our “best” side for the year.

I would have Cunningham( when/if 100%) and Martin and Walsh added to this side as our ‘best’…

Don’t think you can have 3 bulls in the side, we lose too much run. Cripps and Hewett with Kennedy as back up, Ed behind them unless we need a tag…

IMHO

Raining up here at the moment for the track watches…

We need to pick faster sides. My jury is still out about Cunner's and Martin's future in the Carlton forward line, Honey even more doubtful.
H & C, plus 2 X-factor, marking types, Durds, Mots (maybe), and a Dow type mid/burst player as 7th fwd.

because of rain?

because I say......

Re weather up here.

Supposedly raining on and off until about 3pm.

Should be clear after that.

Having said that - appears the rain is all near the city (about 7mm so far) - but no rain at Homebush…………………

The Blue Weirdo

Both posts correct, the first is for winning finals and the second was correct for the time it was posted as Cunningham was no where near it, either was Martin. Now, we need them both to make a prelim…

Disagree or just quoting as you think I’m hedging my bets?

 

[Accidental genius]

would like to start matche with high intensity...lots of pressure around the ball....first possession, get it out and spread quickly

 

[Foucault1989]

Cripps a late out

For reals or April Fools?

IMHO

Cuners, Zac, Walsh and MK would be best 22

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Cuners, Zac, Walsh and MK would be best 22

And Jordan Boyd would make a great sub.

Sorry, I thought that I did agree.
Love to see both Cunners and Martin strike good form, I'm not falling into the trap of believing it until I see it.
Your also right about our big, slow midfield. and Ed (bless him), hope there's a late change and Voss introduces some younger legs.
Go Blues!
