3 changes:-

 

[JJBagger]

Injuries still aren't the primary cause for our form across 2025. Lot of other issues with coaching being one of the major ones imo

Coaching has been a massive issue - especially this year. But injuries have stuffed us up still. And unlike previous years, very few soft tissues

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hmmmmmm.

We have officially hit the We are Rooted, phase of the season.

Anyhoo, plenty of young guys getting a run.

Baggers by 79.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

The dictionary definition of “ugly” has this fixture written down.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

So disappointing that Lemmey is injured and we can’t give him a taste of senior football over the last month. Watching players like Moir, O’Farrell, O’Keeffe, Wilson and Lemmey is about all that would keep me vaguely interested at this point.

 

[jj1978]

Can’t even drop players like Fog and Acres atm, we have nothing.

 

[Gointocarlton]

 

[bigblueboy]

We are going to get slaughtered. This has 100 points written all over it.

 

[teknodeejay]

We will get smashed
Is it worth watching and ruining the weekend ?

 

[Benaly28]

We will get smashed
Is it worth watching and ruining the weekend ?

Yes we will and thank God it’s the end of the weekend that we play.

Only the weather might make it a little closer say 8-10 goals.

 

[bringdoullback]

Apathy has set in. It's quiet in here.

 

[agro]

It’s going to get…..

 

[Limestone]

It’s going to get…..

Brilliant movie

 

[Ald Gardiner]

I feel for HOF. Being asked to play on some very big opposition this week. I hope this doesn't effect him long term. Physically he's not ready to be the second key defender.

I feel sorry for Freo coach trying to stop him taking 13 marks..

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Distinctly recall we went to Optus last year with Kemp our only “tall” forward , Binns, Lord, Moir showing plenty and contributing and we beat WCE by 10 goals.

Stranger things have happened maybe it will be closer than what we think

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

HOK hasn’t played since the hammy yeah? Like not even VFL? Great injury management once again.

Played against Lions 3 weeks ago, missed the Casey game the week after then the bye last week…

 

[Accidental genius]

Frank Evan’s broke his nose 2 weeks ago and is back already..

Is that normal?

It’s just a nose I guess..

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

20mm rain Saturday 18mm Sunday might just reduce the punishment

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

It’s just a nose I guess..

Concussion also…

Goal kicking? Would have won at least 3 more games if we kicked straight
Basic skills? Would have won a couple more if we had of hit targets at crucial times.

All we can ask for is effort at this point. Half the side should be still playing VFL and no where near an AFL game.

The important thing to look for is how the young fellas react after inevitable making mistakes. Carroll showed he has the temperament. HoF also. But they are still going to get beaten and make more mistakes than we would like an AFL player to make. Only time can fix that

 

[Moon]

With so many Players Injured or cooked .. there's no point Carlton making finals anyway.
Each final we'd have to do without say Charlie, Harry, Cerra, Walsh, Acres, SOS etc which would lessen our chances.
We simply aren't tough enough to go the distance

 

[jj1978]

It’s just a nose I guess..

I had a full nose reco done 8 years ago and was back in the office 5 days later and you could barely tell.

 

[norway blue]

We need to be vicious . Get it ..

 

[Drexl 31]

Can’t even drop players like Fog and Acres atm, we have nothing.

Motlop.

 

[Accidental genius]

Did I hear correctly on news this morning - Charlie another surgery?

(Edit: relax it’s just a clean out)

No-one notices when I'm in the office either
