If it were the other way around, I'm sure we would apply similar logic and fancy ourselves. Reality is doesn't matter where these two teams are on the ladder, they set themselves for this game and often its a toss of the coin. We have to play to our best to beat them, they will be brimming with confidence having knocked Freo off on their own dung heap.

I'm sure Vossy will be super keen to win this one and will have us fully prepared and fired up. We must be careful to better pace ourselves to play out 4 Qs and not be run down in the last. Maybe put the ball up our jumpers fo a quarter or two. ?
Reality always wins in the end.

Last week, we were coming off a 5-day break from an interstate trip. Our second half looked like it.
This week, it's the Pies coming off a 5-day break from an interstate trip (and a slog in extremely wet conditions).
You would like to think that we should run all over them in the second half this week.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

CARLTON
In: J.Newnes, J.Boyd, P.Dow, J.Martin
Out: B.Kemp (Medi-Sub)
Last week's sub: Brodie Kemp (unused)
Newnes named on the field (and will play) the others are on the bench with the likes of Cottrell, Carroll, Kennedy and Motlop, Plowman.
Someone is going to be stiff to miss out from that bench.

I’m a bit surprised that Newnes is back in the 18 but he is a seasoned player with a cool head when it counts.
I think that Kennedy, Cottrell, Plowman and Martin will make up the 22 and Dow will be the sub.
That would be a bit tough for Carroll and Motlop but, with the exception of KPPs and rucks, we have serious competition for a place in the team.

Unless there's an injury we don't know about, I think Motlop might be the unlucky one. Caroll was a bit quiet last week but just has that little bit of extra size and can play up the field.....but if they're bringing Newnes in, then like for like (wing)?

The youngsters are good, plucky and they'll be back, because they've shown heaps.
Probably due a spell.

Youngsters will be fine - we are finally developing them correctly and introducing them slowly rather than throwing them in the fire where they lose all confidence
