Opposition discussion

Brutal for St Kilda, this is the one bloke that can take them places. When you have a list that lacks star power losing your unicorn in December is savage.

Having zero preseason is an almost impossible situation to succeed from. Horrible start for Ross Lyon. Already looking like they will struggle to match last years final ladder position that got Ratten sacked. One flag. ONE FLAG. Place is snake bitten.

SOS's master move will probably involve the recruiting of the Silvagni trio to St Kiddenme. He'll somehow get them all together as a special cheapie deal from Carlscum, a delisted free agent, a cheap n nasty trade n an unwanted F / S prospect

Adam Kingsley introduces 'Giants Man' meetings as a key pillar following the Dimma Tiger blueprint, I suppose you can't blame him, i reckon Kinger's will be good for them but will require a complete reset.

I'm not so sure, I don't think they are a top 6 side but they are a hell of a lot better than what they showed last year.

With a decent run of injury they can be 8-12. Hearing Finn Callaghan is flying and already has Hawthorn hard is his ear to come home.

I cringed reading this

Trying to do Richmond 2017 in Western Sydney in 2023 seems pretty unimaginative to me.

Thats as nicely as i can put it.

Presents, story telling, vulnerability.

sheez.

Ivan Maric could make some good $$$ sweeping their sheds

I wonder if teams will work Fly and Bumwood out a bit more this year, and adjust more the way they eventually adjusted for us.

I was a bit surprised teams didn’t use some of the same tactics to the same degree that they have against us in the last 2 years.

Let's hope so. I wish all the best to Fly and Leppa, but who the f* wants Scumwood to succeed.

Zac Williams has done his ACL apparently gone for the year.

Baggers have picked up two significant injuries, with Walsh also going to miss the first month allegedly.

Hasn't had a good run since joining the Blues has Zac.

Zac Williams has been a disaster for Carlton but at least injuries have set him back.

Jack Martin on the other hand, huge wraps from the Gold Coast, big money and hasn’t got close to repaying the faith. And gets off the hook. And both would be getting a combined 1.5 -1.6 million of cap space.

Never want to wish injury problems on any player or club, always massive tough performing through the years and trying to be competitive without the horror side of injuries decimating clubs. But.

McGovern, Martin, Williams. Geez that's 2 mill a year out of the salary cap for #LolCarlscum to be paying out for not much return from imports. Guess they've been shopping at NQR in recent years.

Towner, Cadds, Prestygiocomo, Lynchman, probably cost us similar in shekels per year n the returns have been magnificent.

Think it's just the reality of football.

When you are down you have to spend more money on lesser players because that's the only way you get people in to build your list.

In part thats true.
I think with Carlton is they traded in flankers.

In comparison we brought in mids and key forwards, the cats the same

I've often thought Carlton were paying way overs for flankers, seemed a bit strange as you need the cap space for forwards, defenders, on ballers and the like.
