The Age have a crack at our best team, at least they have Grigg in the team.... :smoking:

CARLTON

Coach: Brett Ratten

Star five: Chris Judd, Brendan Fevola, Nick Stevens, Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs.

Surely an oversight in the listed team.

JR is not there.

I'm not sure that is an overview, JR is consistently rated by those in the know either 'just' in our best 22 or in the next group of 5 players just outside our best team. Assuming everyone stays fit, he'll have to fight very hard to retain his spot, which is really what we have needed for a long time.

Presumably he'll make the team for rd 1 as both carrots and scotland have been listed and they definitely wont play, walker is a 50/50.

Swap Fisher and Cloke around and I might just let that team slide

Yup, better, but Fish at CHF??

I have Eddie Betts / Simon Wiggins rotating as my preferred CHF. Depends on where we play. If at the Dome - I don't feel the need for a conventional CHF...so the AGE / HUN just plucking tallish forwards from the list and putting them there. No harm in that.

How does Warnock not get a mention?

Contrary to popular belief, Mr 206 hasn't done much in his career thus far.

Well, he's made it to 206, so what else is left to achieve?
