Will it be a wake for a disaster, or a party to celebrate a triumph. I know which way I would bet at this time.

This game is not on free to air this Saturday evening. We will not be entering the game as favourites.

Best on Ground one week, on the bench the next. I wonder what Angus Schumacher is thinking at the moment?
One of our's will probably miss, being the travelling emergency. Mullett was the emergency last week.
Nice to see Kerrdige and Macreadie back.

Next Saturday night on the Gold Coast we play the Suns, the worst two teams in the competition. Unfortunately, we appear to be worse than the Suns, who had their best ever win yesterday against Sydney.
I can't see us win, but who knows? If we had some players available, we might make it close. But with 2 more definitely out, I don't like our chances.

The end of season can't come quick enough.

Crash is obviously on the hooch. 

In game discussion here folks.

With Vescio named as an Emergency (!!!!), and playing the present top team, things are not looking that good.

WERRIBEE v. NORTHERN BLUES

Round 16 – 22/07/2018    01:00PM
Avalon Airport Oval (Chirnside Park)

On at the same time as the Carlton vs Hawthorn game, so one of our players will be the senior emergency.

Northern Blues

B: 7. M. Blakey, 13. C. O’Shea, 44. C. Byrne
HB: 29. J. Hill, 17. S. Rowe, 51. A. Mullett

23P: 58. J. Naylor

In: J. Silvagni, D. Lang, M. Wright, S. Rowe, T. De Koning, K. Keppel, 1. Garlett, A. Milham

Of the 15 Carlton players named at best 10 will play. No certainty of de Koning or Lang, but they'd be very welcome.
The midfield is looking very bare.
