Terrible preseason form but it's that preseason
Having said that can't see us beating many teams without H or Charlie playing forward

Let's hope they lift but underwhelmed at the moment

We desperately need games into TDK Kreuz looks on his last legs to me
Love him as a player but coming to an end
TDK needs to play against the Tigers in my view

This could get ugly. Really ugly.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

To be honest if we were to have any chance we would need a fit Charlie, he has the X factor that could assist us kicking a winning score.

Tend to agree. Quite concerned.

Be surprised to lose by less than 7 goals.

Though with murph, Ed, cripps and Walsh in the midfield most of the time we should manage to be competitive for decent periods.

Our back 6 are in form and looks solid. They’ll need to be given the form of some others up the ground.

Goals or points?

Our tradition demands success!

The key to Carlton climbing the ladder this year are 4 players. They are Settefield, Dow, Fischer and Cunningham. Speed and Midfield. Simple as that. Have been in system long enough to start influencing games. Cripps has already alluded to this. I have my doubts.

This. I have faith the coaching staff we will get the combination, balance and setups right in there as well.

Did anyone watch yesterday’s Giants v tigers game? and then watch the putrid stuff we dished up Last night? Tigers by plenty

It was bruise free footy a bit like the recent all stars game.
They are both very skilled but this game wasn't exactly how you would expect them to play come season proper

I have a ticket to the game but I am having second thoughts about going now.
It really has been a very unimpressive pre season.

Once upon a time we used to win all our pre-season games and then... we came last.

Swap Walsh and Murph and I agree with that.

Emergencies from: Newnes, O'Brien, Cunningham, Marchbank

Tigers will obviously put a lot of time into Cripps and Walsh, so the other mids need to step up if we're to be competitive.

Willo is good in congestion and doesn't mind some physicality. I'd give him more time in the midfield.
