He's in the VFL squad along with Dow, Carroll, Pittonet, Binns, S Durdin, O'Keeffe and Akuei.

With BigH and Charlie, I can't say I'm as confident of them 30m in front, as I am when they a 30m in a pocket.

Slow motion game in the heat as you would expect, thought Hollands made a handy start and is a active busy smaller mid.
Getting the band back together ie Kennedy and Hewett with Cripps makes such a difference to how we operate and good to see Hewett moving freely with no back issues so maybe Russell can get a tick for that.
Acres...gets plenty of ball and runs everywhere but he needs to get a bit closer to his man and also watch his kicking, seems to kick a few loopy ones that hang in the air and dont travel far inviting other teams to pick them off.
Thought TDK did some good things and Id still be backing him to be my No 1 ruckman.
Not a lot you can really gauge from either team imho given the conditions and for me they looked evenly matched, main thing is no injuries and a couple of our newbies looked promising.
For Collingwood they would have been happy with McStay who I dont rate but he seemed to fit in with their working class no brand name forward setup.
Cowan vs Cincotta.......undecided at this stage to who I think will be more likely to debut first.....

my take nothing has changed from 2022 season going into F50 ,kicking to a contest ,kicking it to outnumbered forward eg LOB kicking to charlie wen outnumbered. One question did or has any of our rucks ever ever gone back to take a intercept mark in defence TDK should be doing this not only taking marks going forward

Gosh i hope we dont hear anything about this
Reported on AFL.com;
Good news for Carlton fans with Patrick Cripps seemingly OK after he sent a minor scare through the Blues camp in the dying stages of their match against Collingwood.
The Brownlow Medallist limped from the field before quickly waving away the attentions of doctors, with the Blues later downplaying the severity of his injury.
"He rolled his ankle. He hobbled off the ground, but he was walking around in the rooms and he was handing footballs out (to fans) after the game, so we're pretty sure he's going to be fine," Carlton assistant Tim Clarke said afterwards.

Just watched a few highlights, impressed by the change in TDKs body, looks uber strong, has added a harder edge yet maintained agility and pace.
Reminds me of when SoJ became the competitive man he is now, that first pre-season they lose the puppy fat and turn into carved granite.

I think the club said won't change game plan - I know we are good forward of centre most of the time but looking forward to how we position defensively against top four sides. Collingwood barely had any players missing we had 13 that were not conditioned to play this game. Thats way too many.

Seems to be the Carlton way ?
Always a long list of wounded warriors in the sick bay.
I just hope we get a little luck swing our way this year. Enough to cover injuries at crucial times and make finals.
