^Huge call to say Cripps will never win a flag at Carlton. Things can change quickly.

I'd like to be proven wrong, I really would, but I really don't think anything is happening there anytime soon.

What about the REBUILD?!?

The "rebuild" that's been happening since Malthouse was coach? Or the "rebuild" when Bolton was appointed?

Which one are you referring to?

You really have to ask yourself why they aren't moving anywhere significant.... I mean, Brisbane would be what you call a rebuild in progress..evidence that they are on the up. Is it Carlton's coaching? Recruitment of players? I dunno.. can't say since I don't study them in depth.. but something isn't working there.

Yeah I agree 100%.  I was being sarcastic—I'm sick of hearing Brendon Bolton's bullshit.

Rreeeeeaaaallllly would have loved those two results to have gone the other way, but can't deny there have been two great games today.

Jesus we have to play much better than that...

Cam Rayner's kick could've sealed it for them.. luckily he panicked and missed.

I'm happy we won though. The 4 points keeps us alive. That's all that matters. :)

We have St Kilda, Bulldogs and Crows. Reckon we can win at least two. That should be enough.

Was begging for the siren when pies were 4 up 😥 But agree, how the Coleman pans out should be interesting

haha. Thank goodness we got it. It may just keep us in touch with the 8...

Unfortunately we don't verse the Blues in round 23 this year... :(
It may be a touch harder to get 10 goals against the Hawks!! :D

Bit hard to kick goals when you get double/triple teamed and held, and the umps allow it to happen week in week out. If defenders were penalised like they should, Ben Brown would be 20+ goals infront of Hawkins and co.

If you read this post, you've probably come to the conclusion that I am annoyed. I am. Truly. You have to watch NM games every week and observe what's happening around BB to understand. Might get paid a holding about 5% of the time.. and that's being generous.

Helps that Waite is back - for the past 6-7 rounds BB has been the only tall target in our forward line.

Just sayin.

Did a ladder predictor just then... this is what I have by the end of the H&A season:
Spoiler

I had a bit of a play around with it and some of the wins will still have a significant impact from 4th - 10th. One loss in the last 3 rounds can be catastrophic for any of the finals based teams apart from the upper 1-2.

Just did a ladder predictor. Had Collingwood 5th, North 8th, Melbourne 10th.

But yeah, it's all so insanely close.

Crossing my fingers that the Suns don't do to you what they did to the Swans a few weeks ago. They are a joke of a team and will be vulnerable with the added distraction of Lynch leaving. Every game must be a win for 5-8 and 9-10. Even percentage matters.

From my perspective if NM drop a game from now until end, they can forget finals. Each of our remaining 3 games are winnable and we don't deserve to play it if we don't win at least two (Bulldogs and St Kilda).
