Beating Brisbane at marvel when they did wasn't a good win.
Brisbane hadn't started rolling yet.
I'm not so pessimistic about this match but I'm starting to think our flag chance is slipping away and I can only blame the MC for flirting with form, selecting unfit players and then causing a roll on.
MC screwed up so bad when they left Hewitt out for two weeks while playing Cottrell and Cerra who were both underdone (and are both now cooked).
And now we get to the pointy end of the year without blooding any new talent and the cupboard is looking bare.
Having said that, I don't think any team in the 8 is all that convincing at the moment. Someone could easily come from the clouds and win it. We are far from done in 2024.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Meek is close to AA ruck with a very hard unit at his feet....he'll flog Pitto and Cripps will have his hands full with three blokes hanging off him. Game will be won and lost right there.

Maybe try Cowan across half forward as a quicker marking option to keep Jiath and Sicily occupied

By my count we have 11 on the injury list. (Silvagni, Docherty, TDK, Williams, Cuningham, Cerra, Cottrell, S. Durdin, C. Durdin, O'keefe, M.Carroll)
There are 7 on our list who are yet to debut/not ready to debut (Lemmey, Wilson, Lord, Akuei, Moir, Mirkov, Monahan)
There is also another 4 with question marks over them (Acres, Charlie, McGovern, Marchbank)
Lets assume none of them play for this exercise.
That means we have 23 players left to choose from.
From those who did not play in the 1's this week we are left with additions of....
Cowan, Fantasia, J. Carroll, Young and Binns.
Doesn't leave us with a lot of chess pieces to play with if our 4 don't get up (noting Marchbank wasn't in the team, but appeared to get injured in the 2's.)

Well, Hawthorn gave up a big lead at 3/4 time, so they are beatable. But will we show up?
Live Long and Prosper!
