If there is one game we should absolutely be up for in the fixture, it’s this one. Carlton is a bog ordinary team with a habit of owning us recently. I’d be disappointed if every one of our players didn’t charge onto the field on Sunday with the manic intent of tearing that stinky team a new one. Hell, several new ones.

Correct. Has Petrevski-Seton even come close to replicating his 35-odd possession game a couple of years ago? McKay is prime Carey against us usually, now he’s actually in form so we’ll do well to keep him under 17 goals.

It’s Carltank’s game to lose, but they should be concerned if they act like their fans who get all dizzy at the view from their high horses down Lygon Street.

Not much to worry about except Harry McKay so you'll be fine.

Casboult is clearly playing injured, McGovern just got injured and obviously Charlie Curnow is out. Jack Silvagni is injured but may return, though he's not a big key forward.

If we had all of McKay, Casboult, McGovern and Charlie Curnow fit and firing i'd say our forward line would be a real advantage over your key defenders which is probably your only shaky area. But we really only have McKay. Sadly, that game vs you guys a few years ago when Curnow kicked 7 goals was the last full game he's played. McKay & Curnow would be right up there as one of the best key forward pairings in the game.

It's the midfield where you'll beat us if you can get over us on the weekend. Richmond smashed us through that area in the 3rd and our backline couldn't handle it.
