time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
this campaigner does that snap crap that jack does from the boundary line when hes right infront of goal
Would be a half mark perhaps
Collingwood will beat them next week and they have Melbourne two weeks after that.
Id like the to slide a bit further down the ladder to be happy.

Carlton are a quality side and will play finals. They will remain inside the top 8 when the rampaging saints beat the Crows. They may even finish top four if they get on a roll late in the season

CAN PARFITT SHOW HIS WORTH TO CATS?
What’s happened to Brandan Parfitt?
Friday night was all set up for him to stake his claim in the Geelong midfield yet if anything, his position in the team is now under more pressure.
Parfitt started as the substitute in the Grand Final with coach Chris Scott saying he was desperately unlucky with match-ups because in normal circumstances he was clearly in the Cats best 22.
He did get on in the last quarter and kicked a goal which Scott said was one of his favourite moments of the premiership victory.
It was then expected he’d go away, have a big summer and with Joel Selwood retiring, step in and take the former skipper’s role in the midfield.
Instead Parfitt was dropped after Round 1, came back for a cameo in Round 5 and then played his third game of the season in Friday night’s loss to Richmond.
With Patrick Dangerfield and Cam Guthrie missing from the Cats engine room, the expectation was that Parfitt would help fill the void.
Instead he struggled again with another head-scratching performance of just 10 possessions and four tackles.

THE RICHMOND OF OLD IS BACK
Sometimes it’s the words which tell the best story.
Dion Prestia isn’t one to mince his words – we liked how pre-game he thought Tom Stewart should have got more weeks for last year’s hit on him – so the eyebrows were raised when he gave his thoughts on whether Richmond’s defeat of last year’s premier Geelong was a legit turning point.
“It feels like we’re kind of rolling. It feels like … the premiership years, where we work out a few things and we start to get the Richmond game back going.”
An undermanned Cats team means it’s hard to go all chips in but there is an air of confidence returning to Punt Rd and the next two weeks will tell the story.
Essendon in the Dreamtime Game followed by another MCG hitout against Port Adelaide. Win those and the narrative will be changed in the second half of the year.
There was a lot of the Richmond of old on Friday night, plenty of run from a backline that stood tough while there were some brilliant cameos from three players who will shape the Tigers fortunes in 2023.
We are in the next phase of Dustin Martin’s career where it’s very much not a numbers game with him, more impact per disposal. Nineteen touches, four goals and three Brownlow votes is the template.
Shai Bolton was best-on-ground against the Eagles last week, this week he was crucial through the middle of the ground with 13 contested possessions and six clearances.
Former captain Trent Cotchin is in his last dance but he will play such an important role spiritually for this team. When he’s on – which he was against the Cats with three goals as a half-forward – the Tigers become the hunters which is exactly what Prestia was talking about.

“The vision of not just making finals in 2023. And achieving sustained success that sees us play finals every year and winning premierships.
“We cannot afford to be haunted by hypotheticals or weighed down and distracted by the discord of external commentary.
“Instead we embrace every test that comes our way with a resolute determination.”
Sayers said games against the Dogs, Collingwood, Sydney (SCG) and Melbourne would serve as a “test of where we’re aspiring to be”.
“It brings a huge opportunity for us. We take on three of the last four grand finalists as well as the current ladder-leader,” he said.
“Pressure makes diamonds and it will be these moments that our character is hardened and our path towards our vision gains clarity.
“We certainly won’t let others define us or put ceilings on our potential. Make no mistake, we have a group here at Carlton with a strong desire to attain our vision.”
