Despite our strong start to the season, the benevolent society which is CFC will hand Port their fist win, nothing surer.

I think the mindset of Cerra, Kennedy, Walsh and Hewitt will be totally different going into a game KNOWING that Cripps is out vs losing him mid match and needing to reset their roles. It shouldn't make a difference.....but it does.

I'd like to think Vossy knows them inside out and it should be a huge advantage like Hansen and the WB's.
I'd like to think the new Carlton is different to that old Carlton but...
Been beaten around the head to much by Old Carlton and Sundays effort was just plain unacceptable if we are to earn the respect of the competition.

Dont be so sure of Cripps being out. Rumours swirling around that that the scans revealed no damage and will be monitored this week and tested. It suggests to me that were ultra cautious on game day as they thought they could win without him.

Dixon and Wines out will help us no doubt. If Lycett follows suit, that’s a bonus. Hopefully Grey will be a bit scratchy too.
GC game has bought back all the bad Carlton nightmares. We can’t and shouldn’t assume we’re a certainty in any game.
Go Blues
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Or maybe we subbed him out so we could problem solve in real time how to cover his absence if he did break down in earnest?
We should have been able to win without him, the fact we didnt is a bit irrelevant. On the way the game was played, I couldnt help but think we could have done a lot better with some better ball use. We just failed to capitalise when we should, and the Suns are going to be one of those teams that do well when their tails are up.

Stocker -> Boyd
Pittonet -> Plowman
Is Dow OK or injured, he was absent for the bulk of the last quarter in the VFL?
Stocker for Boyd is a no brainer, Stocker played very well in the VFL.
Not sure Pitto for Plowman makes sense, we were already slow and that is removing run, more likely from last weekends effort that Martin goes out and De Koning floats forward with SoJ dropping into the Martin role.
