Losing Pittonet leaves us at a distinct disadvantage. Hopefully we can work hard enough to triumph anyway, but NicNat showed last week we need to win.

Our next 6 games from here are very winnable. May not win them all but would like the majority.

I just wanted to make a pre-emptive prediction on how predictably bad this club has become...

We are due to play Adelaide before the season ends. This is guaranteed to be another level of shyte that this club will dish up to it's supporters by not only losing, but losing handsomely.

Only the Carlton Football Club can find new ways to embarass their supporters in even greater ways year in year out. It's like, you think that was bad? "Hold my beer..."

Mark this event down in your calendar...

It is interesting what this COVID situation does to you, in regards to returning to basics.

I had the opportunity to drop into a local traditional Italian deli late last week, and I thought or felt I should give them a bit more business than just a takeaway coffee. So I purchased some cheese, few hundred grams of cured meat, peppered mortadella, etc., etc, some crusty bread rolls. It took me straight back to my youth in the years I spent working in and around the CBD. Back then I spent most of my time in Flinders Street, but I would look to occasions to get up around Queen Vic market and the RMIT area, perhaps as an excuse to head towards Lygon Street. But often Lygon Street was too busy, bustling as a hive of activity, and it was tough to get fast service with limited time for lunch. So frequently I head up past Queen Vic to the North Melbourne area, the traditional Lebanese and Italia Coffee shops for lunch. My frequent fare of choice, a simple crusty roll, some peppered mortadella, a slice of some real cheese, sun dried tomato and some nice relish or olive tapenade as a spread, all washed down with some serious serious coffee occasionally with a small "correction fluid" chaser. Long before Subway existed! I can't recall what they called it, modern cuisine labels it a muffaletta but it's not something invented in New Orleans.

It's still a winner!

We really need to play 4 quarters for this one. They have not been going well. We need to sit of Fyffe and get this one done! No more excuses!

I'm not looking forward to this with our injury issues, but ...

Remember:
[1] 15 votes in total
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Well, here we go ...

At 1535 Eastern Australian Standard Time. we play the Weagles on on their own dunghill.
We are on free-to-air TV; we haven't won when we've been on TV since June 2018, and we managed that just once.

Quote:The Carlton Football Club has significantly boosted its playing list, welcoming star midfielder Elise O’Dea and speedster Maddy Guerin to the Club on two-year deals after completing a trade with Melbourne today.

O’Dea and Guerin arrive at Ikon Park in exchange for the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NAB AFLW Draft.

Has to be good not playing the Suns in Qld.
