Was in Chinatown, Melbourne today for the Lunar New Year celebrations. Lots of fun with dragon dances, musicians, food stalls etc. It's a credit to the Chinese community that they can bring this joy to Melbourne every year.

It was a about 38. Everyone trying to find shade. Train back to Geelong was running at snail's pace due to heat restrictions.

Got home about 6 have had crazy storms since then. Lightening, wind, torrential rain. Kitty didn't mind the thunder but the hail on the roof freaked her out.

Wonderful, joyous and brilliant news for a beloved Carlton champion and his family.

Sam Doc has experienced so much hardship and pain as a football player and human being, I am just so unbelievably happy he has been blessed with a beautiful family.

Yep. Everyone loves Doc

Driving home with the streets lit up with lighting pleased me.

Its frustrating when a Carlton bloke is likeable for us Pies supporters. Why cant Cripps be a flog too

Cripps was full beast mode vs pies about 2 years back.
Full team on his back kind of game , no wonder he suffers from shaggers back .

Cripps is good too.

The last quarter of 2022 when we got up by a point it would have been 6 goals if not for him. He was like a full grown man against Auskickers out there. 6'5 95kg midfielders are impossible to stop in there

It's not just Cripps' size though. He was averaged sized as a junior until a later growth spurt so actually had to learn positioning, movement in close, etc.
He's a very smart player in he 'phone box' and I honestly think there are parts to his game that get overlooked just because he's 'big'.

I love that bloke. His YouTube channel is one of my favourites. Im not sure if Geelong know about some of the stuff he gets up to on his farm but **** its funny. Even more heartbreaking is that he was a mad Pies fan growing up the Dart

Pendles used to do a sort of "run with" job on him but said its like trying to tag a CHF that has an inside mid game. Carlton desperately need some outside run to compliment him but i hope they dont to be honest

Teams need at least 2 decent smalls up forward.
Carlton have zero good small towards.
To go with their two big guys up front.
Imo

Well Matt Owies was and he's gone to West Coast.

That was weird. Heart and soul player that kicks 30 goals a year as a small forward

Geelong were interested but Cotton On don’t have a kids range that would fit him so he could be an ambassador
