Dare say win them all and we are sitting in the 8. Can we maintain the motivation and rage though. I think this season it's more complex than just form lines, results are affected by unexpected travel, schedule changes, short recoveries, quarantine, etc., etc..
Who knows what ends up happening, I notice some of the AFL media are already suggesting the AFL must favour the club's already in the eight if there is to be bias in the schedule. Not an accident this comes from and is led by Flubbo's crew the week after the CheatsFC sneak into the eight, dressed up as concern for the unfair treatment of the Handgbaggers of course! :

Yes, it's becoming almost more complex than 2020. Just watching Access All Areas now, and it seems as though everything is up for grabs. There's talk that games could swap rounds, that maybe the bye round before finals could be used if required to schedule any canceled games etc. It changes almost day to day.

How many players have his presence and hardness with less then 20 games played. Has more then a little of Luke Hodge about him. What he did to Mihocek who is a big unit when the game was over typifies this kids intentions. Fav of mine this kid.
Also while on the kids I will eat humble pie with paddy Dow. Was willing to concede he won’t make it but was clearly wrong. Can see what others could now and all of a sudden this kid looks like he belongs. Could very well be an explosive mid that will compliment Walsh and Cripps nicely. Kennedy as well has finally delivered and even looks quicker his year. What a pity Cunningham went down as he was the one I thought was ready to explode.

A lot of players step up with extra responsibility, Dow has more improvement in him as he still fades out of games and doesn't get big numbers but its his maturity with ball in hand that has made him impressive.
Stocker has big gonads and in our team that's been lacking for years, we need another couple like him to spread around the park.
Kudos to Matt Kennedy also for stepping up
and being a leader, nothing fancy about him but a good solid soldier who knows his limitations and gives us another stronger body around the ball.
TDK has also been sensational vs some tough hombres in the ruck...

I am looking forward to the McKay twins playing on one another......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Kick it in front of him and let him run onto it and he'll murder them. Bomb it in high on his head and he is a sitting duck. Its a simple game that is often made complicated for no apparent reason.

Likely to fight and wrestle each other all day, if you believe the way they talk about each other growing up.
Would like to see Ben at Carlton as a replacement for Jones who will is coming to the end of his career in the next couple of years.

If Cripps is fit, I’d like to see him spend a fair bit of time forward. He would demand attention from one of North’s key defenders and ease the pressure on Harry.

If Ben comes to Carlton (which won’t happen), Harry would leave :
