....and?
Its not about him, its about team balance....and if we include him, we sacrifice team balance.
Pittonet has shown that with backups of Young and McKay (and SOJ if we need) we lose nothing in the midfield.
Alternatively, if we play TDK, we lose a spot on the bench and a midfield rotation.....which given we are struggling with sustained pressure, we could use every bit we can get.
TDK doesn't improve the side.
Honey doesn't improve the side.
Kennedy does.

I'd tip against us this week.
The dogs don't have to bring their best to beat us at the moment, but we have to bring our best effort to get a win.
I actually think we will win, but I suspect we probably won't.

Newmy free to play, charge thrown out.

Agree, Thry. I don't bet, but if I did, I'd stay well away from this game.
It has been a long time since Carlton supporters have gone into a game like this with confidence.
I think it is very winnable - we just have to play better than we have been.

Not confident on this game at all. It is true that our best efforts, and high intensity sets up a win. However our lack of composure for four quarters and hard efforts will see a 2 to 3 goal loss. Just an opinion.

So basically...we have to wait and see which Carlton turns up.
And that's the heart of the problem.

Owies may be the solution to our small forward problem. He runs hard and applies pressure. He also seems to make Durdin and Motlop play better. He’s never really been a favourite of mine but absence makes the heart grow fonder. If he does show on his return that he’s the secret ingredient, I’ll turn full on fanboy.
