Will Carlton be the 'bolter' in 2023?

[Fadge]

Carlton seem primed for a premiership assault after beating the top 2 in Collingwood and Port in recent weeks.

It seems as though we're beginning to see the affects of Voss and his nourishments pay off.

You don't do 'premiership assaults' from the bottom half of the top 8, or from outside the top 8.

They are a different beast.
Easily the best forward in the game but their midfield has finally clicked on all four cylinders and this is what many predicted before the season kicked off.
Although they lose Cerra for a few weeks, he will back for finals and you bring back Walsh, it's a top 5 midfield.
And you saw how Weitering manhandled your forward line last night. I have always maintained he is their barometer and he's in AA form at the minute.

You’re welcome on the Carlton board whenever you like x aha

Carlton's turnaround since their round 13 loss to Essendon has reminded me of our turnaround following our round 5 2007 loss to North.
Brian Cook is the common denominator between the two.

A bit like Neo in the Matrix, they are starting to believe

It happened in 1997, 1998 and 2016.

It's incommon because typically the best sides finish top 4.

In 2023 that won't be the case.

It's happened once under the current finals system.

Good luck, but Carlton have to get there first...

Unfortunately I can’t see how they can be stopped

Well if Melbourne lose tomorrow, it may not be from the bottom half of the 8…

Yes and sides winning 4 finals in a row has happened twice ever (1997 and 2016).

The fact we are even having this conversation is amazing and you’d have been thought to be certifiably insane if you thought any of this was possible after the Essendon game.

Indeed and indeed!
