Even though I think it is unlikely, I would never say never, a degree of arrogance is a trait of elite sport!

And they’ve had their share of injuries.

They have an abundance of genuine talent on their list and plenty of role players who can more than adequately cover the absence of suspended/injured players.

They have simply built on the solid foundation established last season.

ASADA  needs to investigate these pr1cks.

It's their skills that have been separating them from the rest.

Hear me out!!

In Cripps, Martin, Cerra, Marchbank, Young
Out  Silvagni, Walsh, E Curnow, Cowan, Honey

Kemp      Weitering      Saad
Newman  Marchbank  Cincotta
Acres      Cripps          Holland
Cunners    McGovern    Martin
Fogarty    Curnow      Motlop

DeKoning  Cerra  Docherty

Young,  Hewett, Dow, Cotterell.

Mihoctek v  Weitering   
McStay  v Kemp 
Young v Cox both are one dimensional, no good below their knees, not physical.  Young knows how to spoil and wont be intimidated in the ruck. Just go everywhere with Cox...in the ruck, down forward, to the dunny everywhere.

Couple things....

1. Motlop is injured and i think will be an out as well.
2. Young will NOT be intimidated in the ruck?? Really? He is the most timid 'ruck' i've seen since Robbie Warnock.

I would've preferred Marchbank to come in last week and given the extra intensity that the AFL has over VFL, and the extra intensity this game will have over a normal AFL game, i'm not sure its the right time for him.

Pittonet was supposedly BOG in the 2's, so should come in for Silvagni

For mine....
Cripps <> Walsh
Cerra <> Dow
Pittonet <> Silvagni
Martin <> Motlop
Binns <> Young (sub)
Cowan -> Sub

Won't be intimidated by Cox, he's as soft as they come so Young might even 'out intimidate' him!!!

As much as he keeps ticking all the boxes, I don't think we should be giving Binns his first run in a game as big as this.  HIs time will come, maybe even v St Kilda.

I think Dow stays in and Honey goes out.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Cox might be soft, but he's still very much capable of putting a knee into the ribs of young and ending his day pretty quickly.

Go the other way and we can have Pittonet end Cox's day in a similar fashion. Won't need anyone to go with him if he is subbed out of the game. Wink

Most of the 'supercoaches' (Pagan, Sheedy, Malthouse) were very much fans of giving a kid a go on the biggest stage first up. Gives them 5-10 games of experience from 1 game. Binns' confidence is sky high at present and if he wants to play AFL footy, prove it on the biggest stage.

With our returning mids, Dow doesn't get a look-in.....his pressure is very much below par too.
Honey, for all his limitations, had the highest number of pressure acts last week, and hit the scoreboard from VERY limited opportunities. Exactly the type of player/return we need against the Pies.
