2016 Ladder - Going Early

[crashlander]

The Hun ran a poll of experts asking them the top eight, premiership, Brownlow and last place.

Out of two dozen "experts" only one failed to pick EssenScum to finish last, Jon "Malph" Ralph picked Carlton to finish last.

Now tonight Ralph's published a story discussing Daisy's Dollar Deals, Ralph is trying hard to destabilise our club so that his ladder prediction comes true. He thinks he can make Bolton bite like Malthouse and Swann used to bite. He thinks he can cause trouble amongst the playing list like the way they bullied us into offloading Robinson, Garlett and others.

Ralph might as well just bite himself. The Judge, Bolton and SOS have put those days long behind us!

Carlton are on the up!

We may yet finish on the bottom, if our list cannot stay reasonably fit. That was one of our main issues in 2015.If we HAVE to play the kids before they are ready, then we may well be bottom. But that doesn't bother me. I will be happy to see us being competitive and to see the list develop (as it hasn't for far too long).
Essendon, on the other hand, look more like we were in 2003 - 2006. They will need a LOT of draft luck to turn that around. (I am really happy about that - is their an emoji for smile like a shark?)

As for Mr. Ralph, I doubt our staff will be worrying about his credibility that much. More likely to take notice of Caro (and that is hard enough for anyone).
