Seems that way. Martin, Fisher, Owies survive, must have pictures of MC members in compromising positions.

2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Yep....

Needs a small miracle but still anything can happen he has the raw talent that has stayed raw and hasn't developed.
Coaches and MC better not forget that Carlton will do Carlton things when results dont go our way.

I think that there is a genuine consensus that there is a 'need for speed' against Geelong. Don't know if you can have LOB on the pine 2 weeks in a row...... Might be The Plow with the idea to release DOC into the midfield at the death. Pure speculation!!
Plow vs Geel = Canon fodder of the Geel fwds.

This is an important game, to be taken seriously we need to be able to beat these sides. Preseason talk about lists, potential etc is over, crap got real last Thurs. Geel may be weakened but we just got worse with Hewett out. I can't help but feeling going on with one Ruck against this mob is a mistake.

I thought we would win this one in a close one, I think the tide has now swung the Premiers way.

Maybe the Geelong style rucks dont suit as they are very mobile....we should have played him vs the slower Nankervis.
Geelong are one of the most efficient teams moving the ball to their forward 50 btw and last week showed we are a mile away from their level.

Nothing is going to change here. Debutants or not - we have our work cut out/

Not really a surprise, if we lose this week and our small forwards are again impotent Id expect changes for GWS but given its the start of the season you have to give players a second chance. Im tipping Martin and Motlop might have decent games this week...
Worse than the Hewett news, Umpire 22 has been selected for our match  >Sad

It is a mistake, but who have we got to come in?  Other than Kreuzer, have we had a decent ruckman this century?
