1 of 2 must win games for the season! Big Grin

We'll take some confidence from last weeks win, here's hoping we can repeat !!

While I agree with a bit of that I want to see Walks get to 200 games.

I'm getting the strong feeling that BB is very reluctant to bring in the older players currently  not getting a game plus any that are playing who don't perform will quickly be moved out - Zach T. look out. The focus is on youth with the older guys as backup.
Reality always wins in the end.

Thanks mate, although you can take what the club says with a grain of salt.
We can probably expect to see him back in a month or so.

I agree LP, he's still under 30, although only just, and his ball skills are among the best at the club.

Zach is as safe as houses, among the first half dozen picked.

He needs a good one soon IMO. I noticed that Docherty had replaced him taking the kick outs on Sunday, I think Byrne could push for his spot - but we'll see I guess.

He has good and bad patches in games. The defence coaches need to work with him on the defensive side of his game. His man lost him a couple of times too easily.
2017-16th
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

Well, they won't be tired for next week. Nearly 10 goals behind with plenty yo go in the second.

Defenders cop a rough deal, they're bound to lose a few one on one contests but when they do it's costly,  a forward gets beaten or doesn't even make it to the contest and no one seems bothered so much.
Touhy's foot skills are as good as anyone at Carlton, he's quick, strong and has a natural attacking instinct.
His good far outweighs the bad in my opinion.
