Competitive against Essendon or in general?
Because those aren’t the same answers.

They will probably win something early to get the media excited, and they lift against Essendon.
Considering the injuries they have it is hard to see Carlton finishing outside the bottom four.
Less than 2 weeks to go people 
I meant will the be competitive in preseason or in the normal season .

At no point after the first quarter and a half in R1 will they be competitive with any team that's not called Essendon.
At no point will a team named Essendon easily beat Carlton.

I reckon we play our best side possible. Given there is two weeks between games. Then right into round one.

It would make some sense to play a full side against the Scum then bring the kids in against Geelong to let them play against one of the top sides as part of their education.
Aren't they decimated at the moment? IIRC I think they have lost a lot of their 22 during pre-season... I would still pace the vital cogs, especially Dev and Daniher at the moment.
Personally I would play our best sides for both games why not head into rd 1 full of momentum.
As long as our best side doesn't include players who are underdone or not quite ready.

Much prefer having 3 games, its good to have that extra game to play as many kids as possible.

No. Essendon may be uncompetitive though.
It is both as they are meant to mean the same. If pacing Joe means he doesn't play yet because he's still not up to it, then good.

I also think they took away an extra game so clubs would play their best sides possible.

Durries I think. Commercial sponsorship that caused Stants to do both durries and footy. Maybe disappointed he couldn't smoke while on field.
Teams?
