I get the feeling we leaked the injury news early to a few pies friendly journalists to try and get the Cheats drinking their own hubris pre game
And then smack them between the eyes before the first bounce

That's what I was hoping too.. a little bit of Fly psychology/mind games.

As long as they don't get an extra No. 1 pick.

Ahhh great memories. Let’s make it happen again.
Interestingly Bruzzy played a bit on Cripps that match and given Jen said he was playing midfield at times during training hopefully we see that again match day. The wait is killing me tbh.
I think it's relevant to acknowledge that the 1 point win against Brisbane came from being 46 points down in the second quarter. This performance encapsulated Carlton's mentality this season, where they have also fought back from two 20-point deficits against GWS to win and got within 2 kicks of Geelong late in the game, kicking 3 goals in 3 minutes when 30-odd points down.
To me these 3 performances are, for the moment, concerning for us. We are yet to string together a 4-quarter performance and will more than likely need to this Friday night if we're to get the 4 points.
As underdogs however there's plenty of upside for us. Win, and it'll show genuine improvement and an innate ability to find a way. Lose, but put in a good performance, and it'll be an expected result that the coaching staff can point to as the watermark in order to drive improvement and standards.

Like to see Maynard on the ball if JDG is out,
Perhaps markov back to play hbf.
Just my thoughts

And Sullivan into the selection frame was mentioned if Jordy ruled out.
Fin for Titch I would think.

AJ is better than a lot of our other senior players .. his disposal efficiency is also good
He’s a long kick also and his goalkicking 23/22 is 36-19 G-P so don’t think many issues there.. second only to Bobby in accuracy
Interesting discussion on SEN from Hoyne the Champion data guy.
Geel rank 1 scoring from Turnover we are Ranked 3rd
We are Ranked 6 for defending turnover Carlton 13 - verifying how fragile they are defensively.
All stats based on the first 6 rounds.
None of our players are Ranked in the Top 85 in the game and he suggested that despite the rankings above, we therefore still have huge improvement within the list.
He used Crisp as an example of same.
All very encouraging - game is definitely not a Blues win as so many are conceding.

Those wins prove Carlton can’t either though? Don’t think to many teams are. Geel prob the clear front runner
Some interesting stats about Collingwood from Champion Data (Daniel Hoyne) over the last 6 weeks in this podcast.
Especially when we don’t have the ball.
Geelong also a team where no player so far this year has racked up 30 possessions.

I’m more saying the Bear didn’t pull the digits out and claim his chances more than he did. Unless you are saying the same.

As I understand it, he retired because he wasn't prepared to commit to the work level needed to play senior footy going forward. His work while at the club seemed consistent with his teammates from the reports we received.
What a disaster. How many goals are we tipping Carlton to win by, TradeDraft?

So no De Goey and no Mitchell
Steele gets a reprieve
Unless they go with 3 changes
Out: De Goey, Mitchell, Sidebottom
In: Reef, Fin, Sullivan

Not beyond the realms of possibility. If Bruzzy is going spend time on Cripps even with JDG playing he might get a look in. Outside chance but who knows they could also play him if, as some have suggested Sidey is sub or perhaps gets subbed off, JFN could push up to a wing. HH probably ahead of him but depends what we have planned.
Sure, you could argue that.
I think the more pertinent point though is that it appears to be a different Carlton this season. Last season's Carlton (at least in the first half of the season) would've dropped those games and potentially the Fremantle and Richmond games too.
