    2nds Northern Blues 2018

    McKay - Rowe - Macreadie - Kerridge - Lamb - all have a spot waiting for them if they play well.

    Autopsy Rd 4 Blues annihilated by 86 points

    The fumbling - my god - that’s confidence and belief in each other being completely gone. Keep playing the kids in 3 game bursts then a spell - no VFL (our magoos are deplorable). Backline was not my concern going into this year - but it’s a shambles - doesn’t help with the volume of ball and...

    Preview Rnd 4 - Carlton v North Sat 14th April 7.25PM @ Blundstone Arena - Team - post #618

    Really gave me the sh*ts seeing Rhys Palmer have a laugh at Magoo's result online - like you helped at all you spud. Lamb and Polson have to be dropped, Marchbank out injured I assume. Leg speed is not the problem - thats not how you play fast footy - our poor skills and resulting turnovers...

    Autopsy Rd 1 Blues go down by 26 in encouraging performance

    I was worried going in we were too tall down back - and as it turned out we couldn’t find a spot for Weitering to hide. Defenders also played too far in front at times and got caught on turnovers too often. Weitering - seems lost with Jones in his area Silvagni - needs to start earning his...

    Agree - the tunnelling was borderline dangerous and not called once

    Preview JLT Week 2 - Carlton vs St. Kilda @ Ikon Park, Wed 28th Feb 7:10pm - Team post #155

    As much as it will be good seeing the kids again I'd like to see Mullett / O'Shea play both to see if they play Round 1 AFLX was crap - but Marchbank and Macreadie disposal was worrying - Simmo needs a new partner back there to get us out of defensive 50. Assume Lang not ready - but would like...

    Players You Never Ever Liked

    Current : Nick Graham - been on list 2 years too long already Past : Nick Stevens - after a few seasons with us his quote pre season "I've really tried to get fit and work hard this year" - gee thanks for the effort buddy - and now he should be in jail The wasted draft picks I cant ever get...

    Pre-Season Best 22 - 2018

    Dow, Kennedy, O'Brien have already shown enough to suggest Polson, Cuningham, Graham, Thomas, Kerridge should struggle to get a game. McKay needs a chance but hasn't his Turf Toe come back ? Pickett and Garlett cant be in same team until they play consistent 4 qtrs. week by week Get on Dow for...

    Toast Pick #78 - Welcome to Carlton Jarrod Garlett!

    Nothing to lose ... hopefully he takes this chance. SOS clearly see's something, he could add something we lack.

    Toast Pick #10 - Welcome to Carlton Lochie O'Brien!

    O'Brien looks good - trust in SOS, however .... He will forever be compared to the output of Bonar and Fogerty - let's hope time proves us correct.

    List Mgmt. Who do we pick up in the Rookie draft??

    I'd like all untried players - try and find a smokey .... of Boekhurst, Shaw and O'Shea - they would be insurance for long injury list only, none would or should get near our best 22. We've seen what they've got - and it isn't enough. Boekhurst can come on only if Graham chopped. By years end...

    Autopsy Rd 21 Young Blues take it right up to Eagles

    I've been on the Pickett train since pre-season .... welcome aboard ... Toot Toot SPS is just absolute class with ball in hand - numbers are growing - valuable mid field time - cant waste his talent on a flank. As much as we played on more and looked faster - still had the ability to slow it...

    Game Day Rnd 21- Carlton v West Coast Sat 12th August 7.40PM (EST) @ Domain

    WA Boys to light it up .... SPS / Fisher / Pickett .... all are building nicely - let them loose, let them run Side note (yes in wrong thread) - but i am far from convinced on Jacob Hopper being a target for us - Kelly for sure, not Hopper. Save money and throw it all at Tom Lynch 2019.

    Autopsy Rd 20 The one that got away

    Would have been nice to hold on just for the young guys belief. Kruezer : media all over Ryder for AA ... but this guy adds so much more than any stat ... he is our heart, Murph / Gibbs : ineffective first half / influential second half SPS : so much time and cool head under pressure, starting...

    Preview Round 20 - Carlton v Essendon* Sat 5 Aug @ 2:10pm @ MCG - Team post #253

    Blue Boys wet weather form at the G is pretty handy. I'm super Bullish on Pickett .... pace and skill ..... needs fitness and a good run at it. Bugger the other kids got hurt. Army deserves a send off - great bloke - great servant.

    Preview Round 19: Carlton v Geelong, Saturday 29 July 7.25pm @ Etihad Stadium - Team post #247

    Usually any change where Graham is out makes me happy, but White back in is strange - unless he gets Danger - in which case give Paddy 3 votes now Magoos are dwindling, players getting out of for season etc - so we will need to hang tough to not be blown away from here on in

    Preview Round 18: Carlton v Viva Brisvegas Sunday 23 July 4.40pm @ Gabba - Final Team post #402

    I'm hoping Big Harry will actually find it easier with AFL level ball delivery - bigger ground to lead - and be the #3 maybe even #4 forward. Next week I want Pickett back in - he needs to get fitter - but he has genuine lightning pace - if we get him up and going we will be a better team. I...

    Preview Round 18: Carlton v Viva Brisvegas Sunday 23 July 4.40pm @ Gabba - Final Team post #402

    Anyone else going ? If Big H plays i better get there. I'm hoping Bolts has them revved up to smash the Lions - if we leave them in the game long enough we won't beat them at home - put them away early and have some fun I say - big bags to Levi, Jack and Charlie ... Kruez, Gibbs, Murph to run...

    Autopsy Rd17 Ugly Blues go down by 20

    Players who won't be in the team when we are good : Graham, Kerridge, Buckley, Boekhurst (all are simply not good enough) Players who aren't holding their own but need game time and experience : Fisher, SPS, Sumner Thats 7 guys who played today that for different reasons make it hard to win...

    Preview Rnd 17 - Carlton v Footscray Sunday 16th July - 3.20PM @ MCG - Final Team Post #339

    Thoughts on Sheahan out ? His first game back was very scratchy - improved second time around i thought - his kicking still not back to what it was. Doc went into the middle after Cripps went down - will Bolts have a set big enough to split up Doc-Simmo across half back and keep Doc on ball ...

    A team without Cripps .. a worry A team with Kerridge, Graham, Buckley and Boekhurst ... a massive worry - all butcher the ball ASOS straight back in is a win. Thank god this game is at the G and not the Dome. Dogs will either crumble as their season ends with us - or click and remember how...

    Preview Rnd 16 - Carlton v Melbourne Sunday 9th July 3.20PM @ MCG - Final changes post #674

    Be nice to see the Blues try and open up play at times - play mostly the controlled game we have been playing - but then have bursts to hit scoreboard We control so much game time but opponents always in the contest as we don't do damage on scoreboard. SPS & Fish - would love them to get off...

    Autopsy Rd 15 Brave Blues go down by 12

    In a high possession team its hard to understand how some blokes struggle to get double figures. Cant have Sumner / Jack / Fisher all as "pressure act" forwards - they need to hit scoreboard. Lamb's game v Suns was his best for Blues - he will come in for either Sumner or Fisher. Kerridge /...

    Preview Rnd 15 - Carlton v Adelaide Sat 1st July 2.10PM @ MCG - Changes post #230

    I don't mind the changes - but some shaky ball users have come in and may ultimately cost us Williamson missing again is a real bugger - love his work SPS & Pickett were liabilities last week - basically played 3 short in the first half when they didn't touch the ball. If Jones takes Walker...

    Autopsy Rd 12 Mighty Blues upset the Giants by 1 point

    What a win We all knew Liam Jones would do great ... Every player had their moment - and did what they needed to do Great to play 4 Qtrs and ice a close one SPS back next week for some flash and dash Jones to stop Lynch kicking a bag like last time. Tops a great weekend with Northern's win and...

    Preview Rnd 12 - Carlton v GWS Sunday June 11 @ 3.20pm @ Etihad - Final Team post #374

    Havent seen any of the VFL form to judge Lamb's inclusion - reports suggest others in better touch. Jones rewarded for good form - hopefully he takes the confidence into the game and attacks the pill. Daisy in would annoy me usually - but seeing he is replacing Graham I can live with it. SPS...

    Preview Rnd 10 - Carlton v North Sunday 28th May 3.20PM @ Etihad - Final Team post #608

    I hope Pickett is being managed - he is about as quick a player as we've seen - rather rest him and get years out of him than blow him up in his first year. Gotta feel for the Beast - looked a great matchup for Waite. SPS and Fisher need to be given licence to run and carry - swapping half...
