That's going to be the issue....but we knew that.

Still 35 degrees hopefully just cramps.

Gawn v Carlton
Boyd, Cunningham, Cincotta, Young, Pittonet, Fantasia
Look like they are deadwood to me unfortunately.
Happy to give them a full season but on that game they were woeful. Can cut Fantasia some slack but not the rest.

Who was the genius that gave Pittonet a four year deal
Re: 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Melbourne - Lods - 02-28-2024
I thought De Koning did OK.
The new rule is going to suit Gawn down to the ground and he'll be a real force
Tom got the ball a couple of times where things he tried didn't quite come off but he battled really well. He was getting hands to the ball.
I think what we look for in these practice games is who is doing something a bit different.
Have they added another string to their bow.
I can see some improvement in Tom...(Gawn rates him too).
Against that we look for areas where a player hasn't picked up.
Harry's kicking is the easy target, but gee he's been good in general play, and has shown he can do a bit of relief rucking.
Thing that concerns me just a little is I don't see too many others who look a lot different to their 2023 form
...but now for the real stuff.

Don't forget, after the way they finished last season, and the very forgettable summer they have had, Melbourne had a bit to prove tonight. When you're trying to show your members all is well so they'll sign up again, I am sure you go a bit harder.
It was clear they played with a much higher intensity than us, but I don't think that's a true reflection of where both sides are at. A few of our players were in second gear (maybe 38 degrees was the main reason).
Having said that, I think our chances of rolling Brisbane next week are pretty limited. If we can win 2 of our first three, I will be more than happy.
Re: 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Melbourne - Blue Moon - 02-28-2024
It was only a practice match but it was concerning. If we don't play with intensity we will be back where we were before the second half of the season. I think we have the potential to go all the way but we have to turn up to play. We will know more next week.
