Last game while overseas so I'll watch it on the bus to Warsaw tomorrow. My record of Carlton winning on a trip has improved from disastrous to pretty good so hopeful tomorrow morning too.
This is the old Tribey danger game as are most games interstate. Can't believe we gain one, Hewitt, then lose one in Kennedy. Never quite works out in that regard for us.
Finally found a TV channel I can understand, the Polish fight channel. Still don't understand thr commentary but certainly understand when someone gets a punch to the head.. .lol.

I expect this to be fairly close. Hopefully not 1-8pts close though.
Some confidence is due to our tall towers up forward. My caution relates to how we get it to them in the first place. No Walsh, no Kennedy, and George nursing a hand injury.
Perhaps we'll see some creative midfield rotations to combat this. IIRC our cp and ground ball record to date suggests we'll need to improve in the contest. Win there and we'll come away with the 4pts.
Hopefully our ruck duo will cause a headache for the Giants.
Go Blues.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Pretty much how I see it, also. With a couple of disappointing games thus far this season, I'd be watching JSOS for strong improvement. Reckon Zackery might get some midfield time, also. Two blokes with considerable room for improvement.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

O'Brien the sub 3 weeks running....
Not a fan of that. Rotate the sub, or give him a full game somewhere.
