I'm looking forward to seeing how the forward line shapes up in the absense of Fevola, who I think was our biggest strength in the last few years but also our biggest weakness.

Great thread Wojee!

1. A multi-pronged forward line
2. The emergence of Steven Browne
3. McLean and Hadley feeding the ball out to Judd and Gibbs
4. Warnock, Hampson, Jacobs, and Kreuzer giving us first use of the ball more often than not
5. Finals football!

Not in any particular order.....

1. Smurph winning the Brownlow
2. Carlton winning a Finals game or three.
3. A forward set up that will make opposition teams think long and hard about how to offset.
4. No more fadeouts - in 2008 we finished games strongly but didn't in 2009. Not sure if this is a fitness thing and part of the Cordy 3 year plan.
5. Beating Adelaide at AAMI.

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

A great big fat Group Hug after we kick our 8th consecutive goal against Brissie.

The man featured in the middle of the huddle is Lachie Henderson, who'd just kicked his 3rd.

Kreuzer,Gibbs,and Yaz have been on fire all day,and the fans are screaming with happiness.

Many of us are rueing that we didn't make the trip up to the Gabba.

After the game, Fev is crying, and hugging Simmo, and a few other of our boys...full of remorse.(he's on crutches cos he did his ankle in a freak awkward landing 1st quarter...it's a sub conscious guilt thing!!)

Next day...tons of triumphant photos of our boys, accompanying contrite stories, in Age and Hun.
Gist of which is, saying how they mebbe underestimated us a little (after mentioning all the holiday incidents of course..)

I like seeing Carlton win.

So I'm going to go with that.
