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

[Blue and Blue]

One week at a time.
Take nothing for granted and work hard for everything. Thats the ethos of our players now.
Like the Mohicans, one scalp at a time.

Carna Blues.

 

[Graffy4242]

Anyone, anywhere, any time

 

[LemmingMaster]

There's a close up showing he hand balled it. Besides, one howler our way doesn't make it rub of the green either

So I had to list every decision I thought went our way?
Feel free to list all the decision you thought we were hard done by, common!!

I personally thought watching the game, we had a few calls that went in our favour.

 

[The Fantom]

Thought we got the rub of the green with the umpires last week. That Holland non holding the ball in front of our goal I thought was a huge non call.

Except that when they showed the replay at half time, it was actually a handball, so umpire got it right.

Exactly - 100% a handball and hence correct decision. Surprised a Blues fan would be talking about it 4 days later.

would love to see this end with one of our boys rubbing Kozzi's face in the dirt... fairly, of course

But the big example you used wasnt incorrectly called and I think it's generally ridiculous to worry about 50/50 calls throughout a game. Both teams have plenty go for and against. All I care about is Ross' team lost we won and Charlie was mauled all game whilst their forwards weren't. Beat em by playing our game and not devolving into Ross style. All that matters really. Our defence plays cleaner it seems anyway.

'common'? What is that? Come on?

He got a fist to the ball, though technically not a handball…
Play-on

Not only was Charlie mauled all game, the second he touched a StKilda defender he had a free blown against him.

I've given up complaining about umpires I think they are incompetent rather than malicious.

Razor is ok. Nice bloke. He gets around Bayside too....

 

[KnaveyBlue]

some of the givupski tripe on the dees board from our posters is quite sickening - KnaveyBlue a special mention......

Stop spying, you’re too old for reconnaissance missions.

It ain’t giving up, it’s realism. They’re in good form and we’re very undermanned. And I, uh… I k-kinda like Melbourne?

I do hope we win. But if we don’t, it will definitely be because god is punishing you for singling me out in this fashion.

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Anyone, anywhere, any time

 

[David Sylvian]

This is a free swing against the dees who in my opinion are full of holes outside their top six. We will dominate them defensively and dare I say it, they will be out coached. Too many on here dipping the toe in a hot bath.

 

[athensblue]

All of Charlie's frees there
And many missed
The coll game showed that defenders sh*t themselves when cc is within the 5m point of the ball
H and CC have been manhandled for a few yrs and I am glad the umps are waking up to it

Go Blues

JUST WIN

 

[athensblue]

6 more wins and I will be on an Emirates flight to melb

 

[Revenant1965]

3 years since an unchanged line-up. Boyd to be sub though (or still Ed)?

 

[DangerousD]

A bit worried that Kemp goes off late holding his hammy and he is still named next game.

With Kemps injury history and our recent injury worries, I hope we aren’t taking too many risks here.

We rushed Cerra back and then he hurt himself properly, I hope we aren’t doing the same with kemp.

I have a feeling Kemp won't play, just playing ducks and drakes naming him.

 

[BigBreakfast]

The Gawn/Grundy watch will be interesting. You’d think it would make them too big in wet/slippery conditions and advantage our smaller types but, they are both bollocking, ground level types. So is TDK.

The talk will be about Grundy forward, hopefully their desire to tinker with their model, along with an underdone Oliver, leads to a flawed performance. They will likely struggle to kick a winning score but, also see Pickett kicking 4 plus and dragging them to the line. Too quick for Newman, does Cinc get him?

We will have a trough somewhere. While I love our game style and subsequent streak, that physical brand can be punishing on the exponents. We let down in the first half against Aints but lifted beautifully. Dees might be too strong and in too good form for that type of resurgence.

Blues by 9 without any degree of confidence despite our relative success recently.

Does Gov come back to blow up his hammy?

 

[Benaly28]

The pies crying about their so called injuries.

Take out Pendlebury/Degoey/NDaicos/Maynard/Elliot(their best forward) then it might compare to ours.Just get on with it.

Cupboard is bare. If it happens it happens.

He may also play and not get injured.

I’m sure they’ve done tests during the week…although a training test is never like what you experience in a real game.

tbh - I wish our board had the type of conversatons about the game and players that Melb and Geelong Boards manage. IMO a generally much higher level of civil conversation.

Anecdotally, it was just cramp

Their psyche is fragile and they’re just trying to manage it.

They wouldn’t have been able to beat St Kilda with the players out that you mention.
