Not saying I don’t think Carlton can get there, but based on what we’ve seen so far I would have GWS as the currently better team.

And one of the big queries I have on Carlton is whether they’re going to be too reliant on Curnow and H up forward, as there’s literally no-one else up there that’s looking like putting too much fear into opponents.

Will anyone else even kick 30 goals? They have an awful lot of eggs in those two baskets.

I think Carltons forward line is still strong if either Curnow or McKay is injured. As long as one of them is still fit, its still a strong forward line.

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

I think Carltons forward line is still strong if either Curnow or McKay is injured. As long as one of them is still fit, it’s still a strong forward line.

Evidenced by the fact that last year we went on a winning streak mostly with only Curnow playing and then had to endure weekly media about trading McKay.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Kozzie is an upgrade on 2023 Jack.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Wait and see how he develops before jumping the gun mate. Riewoldt couldn’t even jump at the end and we were playing him just because he was our only KPF

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Koschitzke an upgrade on anyone is laughable enough. He's crap

Better than Jenkins was at your club

 

[Footy Smarts]

Better than Jenkins was at your club

The difference is everybody knew Jenkins was a freebie depth player. You actually think Kosi will be good

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Better than Jenkins was at your club

He played like two games derp. Kosi is in your best team

 

[Cuzz09]

Early days but Port just keep backing up and look decent.

You never know with them around September but one year it might just click, maybe this year.

Not many awesome sides around so they could get a smoother run in finals too.

If we win the flag with the side we have now, and the list strength of sides like GWS, Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane etc. - this site will break.

Not even the most wildly optimistic Cats fan would predict this outcome at this stage.

 

[Robroy22]

GWS is the best side in this by a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG way.
Long as they stay reasonably fit...the rest are playing for second.

They finally got a coach capable of driving standards rather than potential.

Don't write Sydney off, but yeah they're the best two teams by a big margin.

Would be great to see Grundy snag a flag.

[HairyO]

I initially thought 12 to 14th again for us, but looking more like 14 to 16th.

THe 2nd half of the season will matter far more than the first half.

They've beaten West Coast and Richmond thus far, well in line with results that have gone their way in recent years. When the whips are cracking and it's time to face top 4 sides, I wouldn't expect much

 

[RUNVS]

Will be the first grand final since the 1945 "bloodbath" game. Will not know who to root for

We are not American

 

[Cleansweep17]

Kosi is a depth player. We’ve got lynch and Balta atm. Sorry for being optimistic, I’ll consult you next time.

 

[Cleansweep17]

He played like two games derp. Kosi is in your best team

Except he’s dropped so yeah

Haven't made a grand final yet but I agree, they just look like the team everyone predicted they would be almost a decade ago.

 

[WetCrow1991]

I assume you mean under the current coach?

 

[Footy Smarts]

Yep. You've finally seen reality. He's so bad you've shifted your only competent key defender forward and even Lefau who's a mile off it is getting a game ahead of him.

The fact you ever thought this is hilarious though:

Dude it’s round 3. Relax.
