What do we know about Cerra injury?

Haven't heard but given his history doubt he would be risked unless it was no more than hamstring awareness which it didn't sound like.

Hopefully Newman doesn't get a week - arguably insufficient force - n=but we might need to plan for both to be missing.

I think Durdin has been terrible this year and gone backwards at a rate of knots.

But there were a couple of times in F50 last night where he was one touch and clean which led to a goal. Not sure if it's enough to keep him in the side though.

Motlop was listed as 1-2 weeks (lol) so I guess he would be an outside chance for this game, but given Cerra just re-injured his hammy first game back I suspect they’ll be a bit more conservative and give him another week.

The amount of hamstrings we are doing is beyond a joke. Serious questions need to be asked of AR. Motlop did one in training while recovering from a toe injury. How tf does that happen?

If Newman gets a week, we need to challenge it. The bloke threw himself backwards.

We’ll need someone faster than Hewett or Kennedy to sit on Gulden. I suspect Cottrell is the only one who could run with him. I also suspect Luke Parker will come back into the team and with a point to prove. Hewett or Kennedy should sit on him too - can’t let him get going on our watch.
Newman for Henney? Or maybe Cincotta, after his performance against Kosi?

Sides like Sydney & Port have kind of the opposite midfields to ours. Next 2 weeks will be fascinating

He was moving well in the rehab group when I had a peek at training this week, really well. But I hope they don't do anything dumb with him.

Our first quarter is what we are capable of and I expect to carry that in next week and flog the Swans on there own dunghill . We are due . In fact we are overdue . Get up there boys and bully "em .

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

i've come to the conclusion we are so busy panicking when we get ahead because of the weight of expectation. this is the first year we have been favourites for basically anything aside from the wooden spoon in twenty years, and the players are struggling with the psychological pressure of being not only top four favourites and early on, flag favourites, but favourites in most games this season. the players are in unchartered territory and they are missing the calmness of doc.

the pressure was off against the dees in the first half as everyone expected them to win, and we belted them. yet when the mental pressure of being expected to win was put back on, we pooed the bed. same as against geelong, but we kicked ourselves out of it, and same when we choked against adelaide and the fumbles against the pies

thus, if my theory is correct, as we will be certain underdogs for this game, we can bank the four points

We’ll get some rain instead.

So I've just watched the last quarter from last night... we really only [REDACTED] it in the last 4 minutes of the game. After the Viney tap back which was brilliant from Viney but dopey from the Blues, they got another 2 in 2 minutes. 1 moment changed the momentum for the next 2 minutes and the Dees cashed in.

Apart from that we controlled the game. And we can do similar to the Swans

We play top spot again. Has there ever been a run where team has played top of the ladder 3 times in 5 weeks?

We're going to need Cunners run. Cerra out is going to hurt but no matter how minor the hamstring is, rest him. Look at Rozee. Awareness is enough. No risk.

Durdin just doesn't do enough. Not even sure he can impact as a sub.

Out Cerra Durdin
In Cunners Williams (if fit)

Hewett into the 22

Happy to play Williams as sub

Carlton are the new Fitzroy. We have been beaten up so much in the last 20 years every team thinks they are a chance no matter what the score.
And we are nervous Nellies just like Fitzroy. Until we start obliterating sides we are always in danger.

I think this is fair.
But I also wonder if it was a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy - like most of us, Vossy would have been telling them all week and at quarter time and half time that the Dees will come back and this will be a tight finish.
I think this a smart as a caution against complacency but, given our history and inexperience with favouritism, I suspect we were waiting for it to happen rather than making sure it didn’t.
