[Orange crush]

Who will North blood in Xerri’s absence ?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Who will North blood in Xerri’s absence ?

Coleman-Jones will play ruck and suspect Darling comes back in to play forward pocket....

Legit

 

[TheKanga]

Who will North blood in Xerri’s absence ?

Goad could have been a chance to debut but injured.

So likely CCJ + Darling/Trembath

 

[voorhees]

this game has now taken on a bigger platform then it should.
All eyes squarely on the Blues
could well be Vossy's last dance

 

[Worm4]

Carlton by 5 goals in the 1st half. North by 10 goals in the 2nd half

 

[NetworkNerd]

Got my tickets and car park ready. For all the complaints about Marvel, the ability for spectators to drive in and out in the comfort of your own car is hard to beat.

With Xerri likely to be out, I'll tip Carlton.

 

[Toump Ass]

Feeling very conflicted over here, love seeing North in the eight but in no great hurry at all to see Voss sacked either.

Agree on all of the above. I am doing the same thing

 

[timokane]

Carlton are fast becoming my second team

 

[PCORF]

North will win and start the season 3-1.

A finals chance all of a sudden?

 

[PCORF]

Feeling very conflicted over here, love seeing North in the eight but in no great hurry at all to see Voss sacked either.

Voss was a great player, but coaching not his greatest strength. Has had a few great finals wins but his teams have lacked consistently. I think they will make the right decision to move him on and I hope Adelaide does the same with Nicks eventually.

 

[timokane]

North are the underdogs surprisingly
this is the true fork in the road of all things Carlton since its remodelling of 2022.
Lose this and the "era" is all gone.
And time for a full rebuild.
Put a fork in it for the season.
And time to scratch the bottom of the barrel for the remainder of the season.
Win it just prolongs it just another week.
Kicking the can down the road for another week.
Rinse repeat.
Minus well do it this game.

 

[Billy ray]

i may watch, not much else on

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

No idea who wins this, although until now I've said Carlton by a lot. Carlton should win comfortably, but they are Carlton and they are under Voss (probably at least until Friday, no guarantee).
If one side is leading by 5-6 goals at 3/4 time, the other team will be pretty confident. That is the nature of the Shit The Bed Trophy.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Crikey I'm sick to death of him, he's an idiot who speaks absolute rubbish, move him on and "we'll see what that looks like"

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Crikey I'm sick to death of him, he's an idiot who speaks absolute rubbish, move him on and "we'll see what that looks like"

So, he'd be back in the media before his desk was packed?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

So, he'd be back in the media before his desk was packed?

He and Kingy could have their own show

 

[kaiserchief13]

Will the easter bunny deliver the pink slip

 

[Fadge]

Will be a very, very, very interesting watch...

 

[The Dougster]

The media aren’t raving about us “finally turning the corner” this week.

I’m confident we’ll be too good for the blues on Friday. 20 points.

 

[Permission Capable]

Should be North. But they can't be trusted either. Finish to last round was deplorable. No goals in a quarter against this Essendon side? Absolutely junk effort.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Well Carlton can play for the first two quarters. The latter two is another story entirely though!

The Roos managed to just about scrap their way to victory over an Essendon team who are even worse than us.

So taking all this into account Carlton might get over the line here although it's blatantly obvious that Vossy's number as Carlton coach is almost up at this stage.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Voss was a great player, but coaching not his greatest strength. Has had a few great finals wins but his teams have lacked consistently. I think they will make the right decision to move him on and I hope Adelaide does the same with Nicks eventually.

He spent five seasons coaching the Brisbane Lions and almost five coaching Carlton at this stage.

So that's approaching ten seasons as a head coach at AFL level for just the one solitary prelim final appearance.

We are there for the taking with Xerri missing. A win here with another team being bashed by media all week and maybe we are starting to grow up.
Most likely a Blues win that gets them back on track if recent history is any guide. They smash us at Marvel
