A six day break before another night game during the week. I'll be late to the game: I can't afford not to work. But there will be more Blues at the MCG next week!

The Blues had a VFL practice match last night and lost to Coburg by a point. I haven't been able to find out who played, but our emergencies all travelled.
Carlton 4 - 9 - 33
Coburg 4 - 10 - 34

Goals to Moir, Corey Durdin, Lefory and Ferronato. No idea who the better players were yet, but it doesn't look like many senior players played.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Ready for the post game. I would love to be there, but ...

All ready for Friday night.
It would be nice playing them here for a change, and it would be nice to have something like a full list to select from, but ...

Enjoy!

Sam Kerr has been charged with the racially aggravated harassment of a police officer and will go to trial in February 2025.  What’s that about “justice delayed is justice denied”?

Of course, Sam is innocent until proven guilty and we shouldn’t anticipate the outcome of the trial.  However, I suspect that we won’t see any more FIFA puff pieces about Sam’s ethnicity:

“[Sam’s] journey speaks volumes about the evolving landscape of football and the power of athletes to transcend borders, languages, and cultures. As she continues to excel on the pitch, she also strives to be a beacon of hope for young Indian girls who dare to dream beyond conventions.”

Assume EVERYONE IS FIT.....unless it says otherwise...and pick your best 22 side.

Try and pick by position and use this to help.

Getting ready for next week. I'm assuming people still want this. Voting will be as usual.

Lets get things started shall we.
A few questions to ask:
1.. Will Walshy get up?
2. Will Motlop miss?
3. Do Williams and Kennedy come in?
4. Do we play TDK and Pitto or TDK and H?
5. Does/Can Marchy come in or is he hurt also?

A lacklustre performance tonight to say the least, but I'm reliably told its a praccy match and so just ignore it.

From what I saw of Young tonight, Durdin plays if he is fit.
Despite H hurting my eyes in the ruck, Pitto made him look like Big Nic.
I think Williams and Kennedy need to come in for sure.

Cant see us beating the Lions up there, but Ill wipe tonight from my memory and say you never know.

Coming up this Wednesday at 1815 at Carlton.
We should get a few guys back, which is promising.
