will play his 150th game in the Navy Blue guernsey - the jumper he grew up wearing as a supporter - as Carlton looks to continue its strong run of form from recent months.

Last weekend’s sub, Ed Curnow is the sole omission from the Round 22 team: he has been named as one of four emergencies alongside Jordan Boyd (now available after suspension), Sam Durdin

I wouldn't be giving another football code a leg up.

Swimming is a different matter.

You'd think they would be competing for young girls.

Unity > division. It's supporting Australians.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Lol - awesome

 

[Garters]

Why?

I remember seeing Kieran Perkins win gold in the 1500 on the big screen back in 1996 at one of our games.

Sam Stosur I think it was or Hewitt at the US open as well.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Exactly. You got that very wrong Chelsea! Not laughing at you but with you. Thought you were being funny. Apologies. It can be hard to read posters intent sometimes. I also rate Marchy. (geez!)
Ps. I try not use emojis as snark in general so would rather not respond than put a laughing emoji 'at' someone's post. Hope me and A. Genius have cleared that up for ya. Cheers.

Edit: just saw your post apologising Chelsea, thanks. I hope you are feeling better now. Missed original post yesterday.

Cheers horsey, I love yours and AG’s postings.
Still f’n ill, but too much work so back at tomo.

 

[Garters]

Thinking he’s got a lot to do with it.

I also like the current selection integrity on display.

Doesn’t matter what your name is, if you bring a team first attitude with pressuring and tackling you get a Guernsey.

I also like the planning/homework that goes into how we tackle each weeks opposition. We’ve hit bullseye each week with our planning over the last 7 weeks.

I think you're spot on, it seems to be a material change in modus operandi to seasons past on the development/subsequent selection side of thing

Rest up
And
GO Blues!

Not about the code 52, it’s about any person or team that is representing our country in any competition or capacity on the world stage who has the whole support of the country behind it, plenty of people who just love to get behind any individual or team no matter what type of sport it is…

In your opinion FBB?

Can’t see us making 6 changes.

My sauce is impeccable Aph… LoL
Just got off the No19 tram…

 

[sbwan]

Given the team is unchanged, Boyd sub? He could play VFL the next day too if he doesn't get much of a run.

 

[carlton_99]

First time since Round 7 2020 we have gone in unchanged

 

[HarryFlashman]

Unchanged line up!
Let’s go!

 

[ctwenty1]

Bit of stability

 

[ctwenty1]

Oliver and Grundy in for dees

 

[gab213]

Man, I'm pumped just to watch us again. The way we attack everything gets my adrenaline going big time. Incredibly exciting.

The 1979-87 Blues, the 1995 Blues and this team right now.

Good to see you and most others up and about right now, this is what following Carlton is meant to feel like. Go into every game with excitement and no fear of any opposition, we're a chance every time we take the ground. For many it's new, happy for those experiencing it for the first time, this is the reward for sticking with the club through the bad times. For others, it's been a long time and there were times we felt that this wouldn't come around again. Enjoy it one and all.
