Cripps is supposed to be the favourite, but that is usually the kiss if death.

The bloke suspected of committing the Easey Street murders has been arrested in Rome almost 50 years after the event.

At the time it was a particularly horrific and unusual crime that caused great alarm.  I lived not far from Easey Street in the 1970s and several family members had lived in that street in the first half of the 20th century.

I understand that the suspect was identified by DNA evidence many years later but fled to Greece where he has dual citizenship.  He couldn’t be extradited because Greece has a 15 year statute of limitations.  Italy doesn’t have a restriction on extradition and VicPol must have been monitoring the suspect’s movements.

Nice work by VicPol.

An unchanged line-up for tomorrow night's game. We play Richmond at 19:15 at Ikon Park.

We won't go in favourites this week either.

As usual recently after a few days reflection ranging from disappointment through annoyance to resignation of another year gone,but we had injuries i tell myself.Yes but I was disappointed in some tactics,team selection,poor umpiring etc which we use week by week as the situation arises.So I say ah well next year as I rejoin MCC and dutifully tick the Carlton membership option also.Now i think thats all i can do for my team though I wish I could run out with em sometimes.Ive had 60 odd years of loving my blues being taken as a bub by my mum and dad who both loved the blues till the day they passed ,so ive seen great times hell yeah but for too long now we are over run.looked.tackled, by other clubs.Where I work we are laughed at and the opposition supporter diehards say we get what we deserve but i dont hear a lot of respect which hurts me more.So I Know we dont have the
Walls Mcclures Buckleys,Dominators,rhys jones so on so on and different era i know but I just dont see current crop of players in the "if i hurt them will they hurt me back" category including physicality,scoreboard,pressure act or just being niggardly.I know modern footy is more like a modern workplace now where rules and regs abound but you can still earn respect by the way you present.I want to see our key forwards run through the 2 defenders which are usually manning them,our midfielders who are fallen on and crushed get up and do it back to the opposition not see the defender who has  given up a cheap goal patted on the back and told gee bad luck..Maybe this time get some players or young guys in with a bit of grunt and tude as they say We seem to overlook these types for leaner type athletes but maybe we need a better mix? Forgive long rant but I do love my club.Most weeks reading this forum gets me over a loss or enjoy a win even more Interested to hear others feelings of how to step forward and get back where we should be.A proud successful club that never lets you down!   

OK guys and girls.
Its the final one for the year.

As always, assume everyone is fit except for Silvagni+Docherty who are out for the year with knees.
Yes i know about Doc. Just do it please.

Pick your best team...use this to help with positions.

Our first home game for the year at 14:35 on Saturday.
Geelong were finalists last year, so we won't be going in as favourites. They are short on ruck talent, while we are reasonable in that area.
Hopefully, Geelong will be Felis Domesticus this weekend.

Yes we have been bundled out - so I have zero care who wins.

So disappointed in this year.

To be second on the ladder to being so terrible is unacceptable.

Regardless - I don’t have a soft spot for anyone left and will be tuning out of the finals series now ??

But do you have someone and why?

When we reflect tonight after beating the Lions at the Gabba, who will we be lauding as 'the unexpected hero'?

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:

[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-.
