2 games played and already the punters have them at $13 for the flag. We're still $15. WTF!!

They’ll drop. Carltoon and probably a few weeks ahead of their fitness compared to the rest of the comp. Voss wanted them charging out of the blocks.
They finish the season with 7 straight losses.

Gotta admit, watching the play and looking on paper there are no real weak lines in the team currently… previously they were probably a player short on certain lines… they recruited for that and it shows

Curnow is the biggest inclusion as he draws the defence away from McKay.

Cerra definately will make a difference too.

I still think their defence is suspect.

reckon they are one quality defender short.
And if Curnow doesnt perform, a lot left to Mckay, he is a gun though.

If they remain fit, they will be hard to beat.
Their midfield depth is solid, forward line solid and defence providing the midfield stay strong will be ok.
I hate Carlton.

We shouldve been up 6 goais at qtr time.
If they doggies had 1 more marking forward.
They would be 0-2 exactly like the good old days

I think we're all ok with Carlton at 9/10 for the eight this year?

I know, but GC were 4-1 in 2020 and Adelaide were 3-1 last year.
Things turn quickly.
They’ve banked two wins against likely top 8 opponents. If they can take care of business against bottom 10 they are in good shape. We will have to see. This was always Melbourne’s downfall prior to last year - that mental aspect of turning up every week / staying team focused.

3-0 the Blues, Mcguane pulled out the stat that when a side starts a season with 3-0 in their first 3 games of the season they go on to play finals 84% of the time. Will Carlton be part of the 16% that don’t?

Doubt it, Carlton have been looking like they would improve for many years. My surprise is that they have taken this long to get better. They look like a very good team, their midfield is impressive and that has taken on even more importance the way the game is played now. Every team can fall if they have their best players injured, the best players are, by definition, difficult to replace. But Carlton look to be the real deal this year and Voss is showing he is a good coach.

Carlton certainly in red hot form right now.

Long season and we have shown both sides of the coin. Red hot early form is very hard to maintain and hard to find again if you lose it whereas red hot form around the last 5/6 weeks of the comp and into finals is the more productive
