Actually, Carlton's win might do us a bit of a favour. They play Fremantle, Geelong & Port & they'd be looking to roll them so they can go in chock full of confidence for next season. Blokes like Waite & Judd can get an extension on their contracts.
Then they can go back to being spud list cloggers for the first 3/4 of next season & be in the same position this time next year.
