Just wondering, why all the questions about SOS (is he ready physically, is he ready mentally, etc) and none about C Curnow when he was selected early on?
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

@Crash Fair reply as usual. At the end of the day, every bloke on the list has KPIs to meet, if they do that and there is a spot, they play. Its that simple. Smaller more fragile blokes that SOS have played AFL, if they think he's ready to go I trust their judgement. What will be important is that his team mates look after him. Like BB told the boys rnd one when JW made his debut, he told them to "look after him", and they did (not that he needed it).

Wonder if Jaksch or Jones will get a recall? If not and Jack gets a gig their futures with us take another hit.
Reality always wins in the end.

Curnow is almost 12 months older, played a lot more football in the past 18 months and wasn't coming off significant shoulder injury. Plus all the other reasons mentioned previously.

Charlie is 8 months older and SOJ missed a fair bit of last season with his shoulder injury.
I don't think there are any issues with his capacity to cope with the pressure and physicality; he showed enough in the NAB game against Essendon and in the VFL games I've seen to suggest that he'll deal with any crape that comes his way.
My only concern was about his fitness but, if the club says he's ready, then he's ready.

MCC which is usually accurate predicts 48,000. Surely more Carlton fans will turn up now.
