Unfortunately throwing Jones forward could quickly dissolve the confidence he has built up. The mix will be interesting. Personally, I suspect Weitering will play forward on Rance.

The changes look OK to me. Smedts has been solid in the VFL and Pickett has potential. He just needs some composure when he runs with the ball. He's a bit like Yarran. When he accelerates, he tends to lose awareness of the opposition and sometimes runs straight into them.

The interesting match ups will be in our backline. What do they do with Docherty? He'll probably start in the middle but he'll eventually drop behind the ball. Do they send Lambert to him? What do they do with Simmo? Will Smedts play half back?


I'm a big fan of just throwing things around a bit. I said previously that I'd like to see Jones play a 'tagging' role on Rance. Follow Rance as though Rance were a fwd. No pressure to kick goals but to give other forwards the opportunity to do it. Of course, since he's at that end of the ground, he may well have an opportunity to kick one or two.
Part of me doesn't want to upset the applecart with Jones but part of me subscribes to the 'endure' philosophy. Players need to build resilience. maybe he can go for patches, then go back into the backline.
Speaking of 'enduring', SPS follows Cotchin for regular short bursts during the game...noot as a tagger as such; more about learning from an experience player about finding the ball

I'd recommend gate 1 behind the goals at the Ponsford/city end (M28-36). Carlton cheer squad end and most of the other GA seating is up top.

Gates open at 1:30pm so if you want to be sure of a good seat in that area, I'd suggest 2pm at the latest.

Make sure you check beforehand though, because they've estimated 65k on the website and they'll end up with a lot more than that. So the GA could change at the last minute.

I reckon we would be nuts to put liam anywhere near the front half ever -
Ever -ever- ever like Evva again.
Don't mess wifit. It might blow up.

I am heading to the Ponsford Stand. I will be getting there around 2 so should have no trouble getting a seat.

Thank you so much Donstuie
We'll be getting there around 2pm.

The young fella did Auskick today at the Coll v Port game.

We were in M27.
Kids were busting to see their beloved Blues from around the same seats...

TBH I'm loving this conversation.

Bolton and co have peeled the CLUB back and gone with best practise since.

Anything can work with this flexibility mantra.

You know it looks like that one soldier down, one oldier up mantra.
Except these days we have the 'cattle', thanks to SOS.

Have to add these days, perhaps prematurely (not) MLD and Trigg....and Maclure and Walls......I'm loving everything Carlton these days.

The world is our oyster.

Reckon we can roll this mob...................they have about half a dozen real good footballers and thats it.We in fact have more talent for mine.Not only can we win but i reckon a big win is on the cards.Although the young 'uns have been a tad off the boil i am expecting 'em to have big days.Weits and PetSet to star.And i can also see Picket having a blinder and make me eat my words.

Kerridge was held back. My mistake.

Maric seems to be playing in the limited vision shown on the stream. Not sure what these commentators were talking about in the lead up.
