Disagree. TDK was good tonight and has the potential to be a much better forward too. Just needs to hang onto his marks tonight he kicks 3-4 goals. He's the wildcard in the finals for you.

TDK was good, but he's far better as a ruck. Mckay is a more ominous threat up forward than either whether he's kicking goals or not. May and Lever simply do nut double team Curnow if Mckay is there

Not one person on earth would have predicted this run. This streak, including 3 wins against top 4 teams, is beyond anyone's expectations. We can beat anybody on our day. Right now we are looking at being a week 2 of the finals team at the very least. All of a sudden if you are just 2 wins from a grand final, anything can happen.

Tonight yes. You would have been able to score a bit more with the dominance of that 1st qtr and a half if he was there. Melbourne have the best system back there in the league and tonight enhanced that view even though they lost.

Every match would have to go against us in terms of teams needing wins winning and by a good margin. 1 more win seals it though
Let’s get there first

Actually felt like it could have been worse for Charlie. Did get a few contests with him and May and did ok. He's not going to kick a bag against May as nobody usually does. He will have a chance to cash in a bit next week with GC not playing for anything before Sam Taylor the last round.
If we had TDK Ruck with Jack & McKay up forward I think we are better

Could have been worse for him but normally Charlie gets the 2nd best defender purely due to Harry's height. May may have held Curnow either way but I'd back in Harry on Lever to get his fair share.
Anyway can agree to disagree, I know near on every Carlton fan around would prefer Mckay in for one of TDK or Pittonet. TDK playing some good football lately so Pittonet would be my pick
How far off are our injuries?

See you on the 9th green at 9
I can finally smell what the blues are cooking after all these years! It is a checks notes finishing position of between 5th and 10th.

Can win the flag. It’s a wide open year and no side is in better form - all the recent premiers have had great runs of form through the second half of the year. They’re certainly a chance.

Cerra and Walsh should be right to go for next week. Gov probably back for GWS. JSOS thereabouts. McKay and Kennedy a possibility during the finals.
Cerra Walsh McGovern this week although we may give them another
Jack 1 or 2 weeks. McKay the same. Kennedy maybe last round
Boyd is available as is C.Durdin
S.Durdin Carroll LOB Binns Cowan all playing well in the 2’s
No more injuries and we are in a good position
We can. Can’t make top 4 but week off before finals will be a massive advantage for us.
At least 5 best 22 players to come back before then
No side is a stand out and momentum means a lot

Someone on the Carlton board saying Cerra out for the year - hope that's wrong

Haha, such a Carlton thing, haven't played finals in a decade but have already marked the first one as a win, what could go wrong there....
He’s fine. Walsh was the one I was worried about but I’m assured he’s okay as well

Mitch Cleary said he's fine the clubs just taking an extra cautious approach given he's done a few already. Probs plays the last round if we need him to, if not he just does a mini pre season for first week of finals if we make it
I wouldn’t be rushing Cerra Walsh McGovern unless 100% ready. Hamstrings need time. We need then for finals.

Agree, reckon Cerra is close to our most important player out atm. His grunt work inside and toughness over the ball was immense all year before going down
