You wouldn't have thought the perennial cellar-dwellers, Melbourne, would have thought they would win easily, but they did.

I can't really see us doing that.
With out ability to hit the scoreboard, no one from Carlton should think any win will be easy.

I suspect Melbourne thinks that they are well ahead of their true position, particularly if Bugg's behaviour is any guide.

Very true Thry. I reckon our wins this year will be arm wrestles - unless we start to make the most of our forward 50 entries.

Not like us to get ahead of ourselves lol.
My mate texted me after the win and said we're going to win the next 3 games.

I had us down for 8 in a row.
Actually, it was hard to imagine us losing a game! :o

Has anyone heard the whisper the club is seriously considering a SOSOS debut against the CheatsFC this Sunday afternoon?
I think that would be a waste, you might get a few thousand more Sunday arvo, but on a Friday or Saturday home game at The G you might get 20K more!
But I suppose CheatsFC defense is sorely depleted and would be a good choice for a newbie to get a run against.
Is SOSOS a suitable substitute for Buckley, could he play the small forward role?

I am confident the coaches will make the right decision, the days of our club playing guys for marketing purposes (to the detriment of the players development and long term future) are over I reckon.
