Any footy is better than no footy EB.....and at a neutral game you can walk outta there at the final siren and still be happy! Doesn't always work like that at Blues games unfortunately.

EB, it's great to hear good news. I had a triple bypass twenty five years ago so you've got many years of following Carlton ahead of you.

Speaking of good news (congrats EB) it just been said by Vossy, that Sam Docherty will be playing R1!
Remarkable recovery considering i think most here wrote him off for the year.

Just read the same thing Kruddler. Enormous boost for the team and the club I reckon. His form early last year was very "un-Docherty" like...fumbles, dropped marks, poor kicks etc....got a sneaky feeling he'll be pumped to make amends this year. Huge game and no way would Voss pick him if he didn't think he was 100% right to go.

Starting to get excited about what may lie ahead for the next 6 months.
When I was a wee lad, there weren't any bad players for Carlton - because they played for Carlton, they were good. While I'm sure that wasn't the case, the innocence of childhood has a lot going for it.
The players will have me if they show that they are playing as a team and for Carlton and put in. Doesn't matter who.
I think there is a different feel to R1 this year, helped by not being the first game of the season.
Like others, I think we're in for a good show R1 this year, but head says Richmond to win.
PS welcome back Elwood. My SIL's brother, 45 had a quad/quin bypass earlier in the year - probably best thing to happen to him as it has given him a massive wake up call (not saying that you need one) and I think he has decided life is worth sticking around for. It is amazing how standard and generally easy the op is these days.

I had a laugh today listening to the radio, they are all over us as "we should be big improvers", "this year will be different", "they've made great progress", etc., etc., building expectations that this year will be different.
Then they read out the picks for Rnd 1 and we didn't have a single backer, not one, nada, nothing, no-one backed us to win tomorrow night!
Then I had to listen to the spiel about the Ferals being "the underdogs!" :o
This is straight out of the Jab Watson Snr / Kevin Sheedy Memorial Carlton Haters playbook, "Build em up to tear em down after "the upset" loss!"
