Think about this....
1 Geelong - beat us up, but I don't think they are that much better than us, with many older players ready to fold. We'll be far more ready next time.
2 Melbourne - with 21 of their 23 premiership players in, we had them all but beaten with a patchwork midfield
3 Sydney - took them apart with a 9-goal quarter and no Harry
4 Collingwood - game 1, no Harry and Weiters, and if the game goes for 1 more minute we win despite being 20 pts down twice in the last quarter
- game 2, 3 of our front line midfielders out, 8-goal shellacking in one quarter, only lack of composure cost us
5 Fremantle - game 1, caught us on the hop with loss of Pittonet
- game 2 owned them at contested footy and never looked like losing
6 Brisbane - probably our worst game for the year, 10 goals down at 3/4 time - then go crazy and get within 15 points with 3 mins to go
7 Richmond - game 1 blew them away in the last quarter 7 goals to 1
- game 2 gave them a 6 goal start then got to within a kick (except for the damn ARC!) after being 27 points down halfway through the last
8 Western Bulldogs - blew them away in the first half
Point being, there is more than enough evidence to suggest we can beat ABSOLUTELY EVERY OTHER TEAM. And when we do get on a roll, we are almost impossible to stop.
I can't wait for 2023. This time last year, we didn't even have a coach.

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
