With the Saints beating WC tonight, I just hope the club realises they've been given a great opportunity to re-group and begin the march toward some real September action.
We start the new 6 week season in 4th spot, two points ahead of WC. WC have Freo and then a rampaging WB to contend with over the next couple of weeks.
We can start our new season by halting the Scum's momentum and then sending those paupers from Arden St further away from the top 8.
We'll hopefully get Carrots and JR back in the next week or two with Jamo, Waite and Hammer to follow. In the meantime
1. TBird remains FF, leading from the square possibly but I prefer him down back with Bower (until Jamo returns) and Hendo up forward
2. Walker and Irish (if available) are our lead up targets. If Carlos is fit I would go back to the tactic of playing him as the second ruck with Kruze and getting the lumbering Warnock out of there.
3. Warnock told in no uncertain terms that Hammer takes his spot automatically if he doesn't start imposing himself on the contestWill replace Carlos as the preferred partner to Kruze
4. Our back 6 consists of Hendo, PB, Duigan, Yarran, Laidler and Touhy TBird insead of Hendo
5. Gibbs plays midfield between the arcs, supporting the defenders, setting up the forwards and occasionally having a shot Good idea....
6. Watson to play out the rest of the year with the NB...he's just not readyYep
7. No more tall subs We can only hope
8. A plan must be put in place if Yarran is deliberately taken out of the game....eg taking on Gibbs' role from point 6.Needs to play on a wing
9. JR and Simmo to play classic wingers giving them space to run JR in defence and Yazz to the wing with Simmo
10. Ellard probably needs a spell at Preston...time Kane Lucas to step in and be told to be hard it or his senior time will be limited but certainly worth getting some games into pre finals

Now if we can hold onto 4th spot and get our injured players back, we will most likely play those arrogant peasants again. Imagine if we could beat them and they completely f$%ck up their back to back defence??????

Your time is now Carlton Football Club. Seize the opportunity. We begin the new season in the top 4. The ball's in your court blues!!!!

If we were told we would be in this exact position before the season begun, I would of been happy.

WC and Hawthorn will drop games, we just need to get back into form, beginning this week.

If we do, suddenly the North and Melbourne games seem like games we should win too. Freo away, Hawthorn and St Kilda look the toughest. 5 out of 6 will get us top 4, but 4 out of 6 might too.

We will beat Freo.

I'd bet my house on it.

well maybe the patio

99prelim, you are kidding yourself if you think;

Thornton can play ff
O'hAilpin is a lead up forward
Hendo must remain back
Lucas is better than Ellard right now
Our season starts now.

Don't necessarily agree with every single point, but still.. just about the best post you've ever written.

BBQ inclusive?

If we can find a forward to grab a couple of contested marks and kick a few goals we will be around come preliminary final weekend.

Got any suggestions?

We have a list of players. I would say one thing if Eddie, Yazz and Jeffy are not going to impose themselves in contests we might be better served by less skillful, more physical players like Touhy, Cachia and Kerr.

Thanks for the feedback. By far, one of your least sanctimonious and condascending responses to another post.
