Not sure if I like Premiership talk at any time; but I suppose it's good to set the sights as high as possible if your confidence is running that high.

Injury free; I think anything is possible with this group of players.

Some people aren't happy when we publically set our expectations lower, so they are not going to win either way.

Reality is if any of the top 5 from last year aren't internally aiming for a flag this year then they shouldn't bother.

Everyone one of us expects us to make top 4.
Judd is an astute guy. Its interesting to hear how far the club has come from the players point of view. I think they realise they have grown to the point were they are a genuine threat.
Physicaly I think they know they are ready but adding some external pressure they need to know who is capable of taking the implied pressure.

Synbad, anyone???? Anyone seen Synbad, surely he's got something to add?????

Too many Half back flankers ....

not enough ball winners like the Mitchells, the Sewells, the Hodges ......

Brett Ratten is a spud, not experienced enough .....

Without Judd we are no chance ....

Our membership department is crap ......

our communications department is crap .....

Spirit of Carlton is crap ......



Guess what? We will make top 4 because football is played on the field 22 vs 22, and our 22 on any weekend is very very capable of winning the Premiership this year. We bat deeper than Johnny Holmes thanks to our consistent injury list over the past few years.

We might make the four... but would u bet huge on it???

Words are cheap!!!

Lets see!!!

Proof is in the pudding .. not in some flag waving and diabetic sugar cating around here.

Lets just see...!!!

Call me Thomas... until its proven otherwise .. i just dont believe.

And in every club forum.. there are people saying exactly the same thing as you.... you dont believe me??? Look at them!!!

Means jack!!!

The coaches.. the players must make it happen!!.. and go beyond!!!

Don't want you taking any risks being a Carlton supporter

Great, lets all agree to see.

In the meantime can we stop dragging every thread through this?

Can we stop prompting comment on it and then complaining about it?

It's funny isn't it? I mean, the ones that do it for a rise you get used to (to a point) but prompting negativity then getting all righteous when it comes seems strange to me.

Are these are the same coach's and players you've been criticising?

Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong start every preseason talking it up and stating how hungry they are (the past several years anyway)

Glad that we see ourselves up there now.

That win over Essendon* means so much.
Hope our forward line can go up a notch this year then we'll really be flying

Go blues!

On target, so far...

Whaaat..Radelaide and Lions have jumped above us already!
