Could we actually achievce a Premiership and Brownlow this year.

Both Judd and Murph are cutting apart the opposition this year and with other mooted contenders either getting injured or reported, the way is being cleared for the 'twins' to win

As for the Premiership, yes there is a long way to go. But all it needs is a little luck. Collingwood are playing at the absoloute top of thier game and are due for a form slump and it has been noted that they are not good when subjected to sustained pressure. Add in some injuries and they are suspect. Geelong are the main danger in my opinion. They are good and still have improvement in them. Just like us, we have a lot of improvement still. And under Chris Scott over-confidence is not a factor

Hawthorn and the Swans are lurking and a real threat to us but we are a better team and will need to 'bring' it on the day our we will get caught out like Frank Mir did to Brock Lesner in UFC 81.

This could be a very good year.

A few more wins to the Bullants and we could also snare the Doctor Sherrin trophy.

Barlow will be back from his broken leg soon.

Carrazzo got a bit of the ball today and kicked a super goal. Could be a chance this week. Fingers crossed.

I think he's played too many games. He's up to 11.

Well,
I will say that the 1st part of my spooky premonition came true today, with Fletcher getting injured. :razz:
yeah...not too hard to predict that with an old man I know....still...
the 2nd part was a dream I had,and posted here a few months back..where the boys were hoding the cup aloft...but who knows when that is..... :grin:
still.....


spoooooookkky. :smile:

Before the start of the season I placed bets as I usually do involving Carlton:

Premiers
GF
Top 4
Top 8
Top 10

and there were years I didn't spend a cent of them winning a flag, GF or Top 4.
I did last year, and have this year. Anything can happen when we're making things happen.

There's money to be made on the Blues.

The Double is a possible. Very. I don't bet on the Brownlow.

we are finally being noticed, watched and respected, it happens every year that for 1st half of season we rate teams on what they did the previous season. pies were great in 2010 but overall 2011 we have been just as good as they have. right now as we sit and think i say the blues are just as much a chance for the flag as anyone
