Our mob will need all hands on deck.......so that is good news..
Beware the "BYE" hoodoo...........Lions and Freo who had R12 bye both lost to teams below them and both looked out of sorts to my eye....and Syd played Saints, so at least there was a winner there

Hawthorn have owned Brisbane the last few years + MCG record is like 1/14
Freo suck when it rains
I can already feel myself getting annoyed at the number of free kicks the umpires are going to pull out of their a** against Collins for Mackay with a pro-Carlton crowd.
Which means we will have to watch him and his snap BS all game.

Let’s just pray they hold Voss till the bye, we can’t play the new coach bump
Behinds? I can’t see him improving his accuracy THAT much in a week.

The VFL will use us as the sacrifical lamb to get Carlton's season back on track
Heading that way now. We're into $1.98 now and I reckon we'll be pretty close to even money tomorrow.

Just gotta make sure we choose the correct team for the MCG. I feel we have lost a few winnable games at team selection.
Could Flanders come in? Or are his chances done?
Do we stick with Davies and Fiorini again, or try and bring in outside run?
Weller may be fit, for instance, and could take one of their spots. Ellis is another option. I’d suggest Sharp, but his papers are stamped (he did play inside mid last week in VFL, which is interesting…)
Rosas hasn’t been hitting the scoreboard, but I doubt Sexton comes in.
So, overall, I don’t see Dew making many changes. But Weller/Ellis may force his hand if fit.
Must win this one!

Considering tonights performance from Carlton
- Midfield pressure non-existent
- Cripps playing on a broken ankle (probably)
- Walsh and Cerra get 30+ but 0 hurt factor
- Acres has 0 killer passes in the forward 50
- McKay & Curnow will get their shots
- No other forward can kick a footy
- Tag Saad and we'll be fine
- Docherty goes ok but plays all thirds of the ground so no impact
How to beat Carlton
- Win Contested football (Ranked #1) Carlton (Ranked #11)
- Win Clearances (Ranked #2) Carlton (Ranked #15)
- Witts v De Koning (Ranked #3) Carlton (Ranked #9)
- Tackles inside 50 (Ranked #7) Carlton (Ranked #17)
- Goal Accuracy (Ranked #11) Carlton (Ranked #18)
- Disposals (Ranked #18) Carlton (Ranked #4)
Long - Collins - Macpherson
Jeffrey - Ballard - Powell
Ellis - Humphrey - Weller
Ainsworth - Lukosius - Swallow
Holman - King - Casboult
Witts - Rowell - Anderson
Atkins - Rosas - Andrew - Fiorini - Berry (sub)
Basically Andrew, Ellis & Weller in, Berry out to sub Davies & Farrar gets dropped.
Good mix of speed and contested ball winners, if the bye was kind to us we'll out run them with our overlap and spread.
Mac comes in, he's part of Dew's plan not sure who he'll match up on Jack Martin maybe?

Got a feeling big Levi might be licking his lips thinking about this one. His chance to get one up on the team that tried to force him into an early retirement and really ram home the point that they made a mistake.

Their board are discussing trading him
Hey no probs....they get to pay him 800k a yr. and not us.....how good is that!
That is every game from now until we are mathematically eliminated.
We are likely to go 0-2 the next two weeks, then beat the Pies at the Bank.
One day we will some trust in our team and then they will back it up on the field. But not yet.

Have to reward Long and get him to do a defensive job on their best small/med forward? Don't even know who that is, they're putrid at the moment.
If Weller is good to go, I think perfect sub - he's too good to ease back in through the magoo's. Alternatively, maybe Ellis as super sub?
Carlton are slow and soft, take out Saad and there is no other run from the backline. Maybe some small attention to Walsh? Probably Rowell and Walsh head-to-head? Ando has a bit bigger to go to Cripps and will absolutely burn him on the outside.
Witts and Levi should dominate against their rucks. Confident on all our matchups, however always feels like a danger game and nervous.
