I’m nervous for Charlie and our club. If they stuff this up, it’ll be very, very bad

That's funny I haven't noticed that. Went to Carlton v Freo there and I'm sure it was closed.Probably cos it’s been open all year

You are close two great establishments; Meatsmith in St Kilda, little pricey but the best sausages in Melbourne.
Baker Bleu, incredibly great bread, often sell out by 11am, worth the drive from where you are (10 mins).
Now you know what drives me in life, please keep it to yourself
Was actually a little annoyed with Ross Lyon on Footy Classified last night.
Never heard a commentator who has absolutely no knowledge about a footballers injury, rehab, state of mind etc pass judgement about whether a club should be bringing a player back.
Actually have always thought of him (despite him trying to reinvent himself in the media as a goofy old uncle) as fairly self absorbed.
For those who are willing to overlook the way he stitched up the saints, and his indiscretions to female staff at freo, and want him as our coach, be careful what you wish for. There are better options available.
Sorry gents.If so I stand corrected.It was closed against North
People having an opinion about who should be our next coach?.....AAND so it starts
Agree, we lose sight of what an endurance freak he is, he’s aerobic fitness is not the issue, touch and match practice will be, but when you’re as gifted as him whatever he offers will be better than any other option. Andy Walker was similar, aerobic freak who could step in after a long break and be really competitiveI'm not sure I understand what peoples aversion to playing him is. He's fit and has been for months, I remember Teague talking mid-season saying Charlie was hassling him to play as he was fit but they were going to be extra conservative. He hasn't been rushed back in any sense.
Are people worried he'll pick up another injury or that he'll re-injure the knee? If it's re-injury then it's no more likely this year than next. Like I said, they've been so conservative with it he's been fully fit health-wise for a while now, it was just building his game fitness that was delaying his return.
There's not really a reason not to play him. He's no more likely to injure it again now than he would if we waiting for next year.
I anticipate his touch will be off, probably drop some short handballs and won't time his jumps quite right and things like that, but yeah in terms of fitness I don't think he'll have any issues.Agree, we lose sight of what an endurance freak he is, he’s aerobic fitness is not the issue, touch and match practice will be, but when you’re as gifted as him whatever he offers will be better than any other option.

I think the expectation is more outside the club and our fans. We all know he'll be looking for touch and form, but media pundits will hit him if he doesn't kick 3 goals and get a dozen possessions.I hope Charlie shows maturity and a concerted effort throughout the game.
Physically he’s fine we have a stack of experts that have given ok, so he’s ready to go, it’s the pressure of our expectation that’s a concern and how Charlie copes with it all.
Get through the game unscathed and showy some flashy bits is all I ask.
Reckon Ross's chances of being our next coach have (thankfully) decreased significantly today......AAND so it starts
