Swans on the rebound.Perfect ! here's a chance to show what we are made of.Reckon we can match 'em.Like all the good sides,they are good,but not that good.A totally committed Carlton side is up to this challenge.At some stage we gotta dig deep.What better chance than away from home against a snarly Swans on the rebound.Fantastic challenge that we should relish rather than fear.

Doubts about his fitness to run out the game Bondi (and Effes ), I'll be surprised if he plays at this stage.

Goodes jarred his knee yesterday & may be missing for a couple of weeks

He was selected to hopefully play against the Hawks.
MM said he was close.
Surely he is ready 2 weeks later after such a cautious approach.

Ball magnet. Tough.
He should be able to run out a game. Can be subbed out if he isn't match fit.

I hope he plays. He will be jumping out of his skin.

Providing he didn't do his calf again the day before the hawks l reckon he will play. If they had doubts about him running out a game they would have played him with Northern yesterday. Id say he is doing enough fitness work,match simulated running and skills training to be picked. But if his calf isn't right then we will continue to wait.

Has anyone seen him at training?

If we take the Hawthorn game to play against Sydney I reckon we will win.

We should be going into every game expecting to win. Unfortunately, I don't believe we as a club have that confidence.
We are showing signs however and last weeks game against Hawthorn was probably one of the 1st games we played close to 4 quarters.
Hopefully we are not too far away from that confidence or dare I say it "Carlton arrogance" returning.
The Sydney & Collingwood games are just the start of a huge 2nd half to the year and maybe the Carlton resurgence we have been expecting!

Believe, Achieve....Dream

Hope so Surrey.....
So close , so often...it will either click for us or start to fall away. A win like this is really a way to reinforce the season...

..how long has Carrots missed now..?.. ..i normally wouldn't doubt his fitness, but a lingering calf complaint surely would have begun to impact on his fitness base by now?.. ..and then there's his actual 'match fitness/touch' to be concerned about..

Reckon Bells strength & hardness will be more than handy against a strong team like swans especially on the small SCG.

Bell isn't eligible?

This sounds about right to me.

Andy McInnes brings more to the team than most might think

Carrazzo brings experience and was the obvious choice for Captain for me

Yarran worries me a lot but that speed and the x-factor is potentially a match winner

Last game I went to the SCG was a torrential downpour starting 1 hour before the game till about 1/2 time.

Thanks Sydney
