Not convinced on that last part. Rabble of a joint, so it’s a bit hard to gauge.

Certainly got a bit of ‘nous’ to pass on, no doubt about that. And young Kalani White may be the best prepared apprentice he’s had.

We’ve got 43 on the list, so one spot open.

We’ll open up a 45th if O’Farrell is put on the LTI list.

The SSP window is open until Feb 20th. After that, it’s the MSD.

This brings feelings of joy and pride when there's some pretty shit things happening in the world right now.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Hope our list management team don't forget Zac Foot who is trialling with the Crows . I"m predicting he will get picked up and become the new Shaun Mannagh . Mannagh was overlooked for years and when given his chance by the Cats has become a star . IMHO Zac Foot is easily as talented as Mannagh .

You had to ask...

We have one spare spot on our list and two LTIs. If I was the club I would be adding three players now, or when the window opens, and develop them. We will need that depth.

Yep.

May be a silver lining. Posted that in other thread.

Keep your chin up baggers. We may just balance up our list from this injury.

Durdin traded, Motlop ACL and White delisted leaves us with mid sized forwards Williams, Ainsworth Hayward, Hollands and genuine smalls Evans Byrne to squeeze into the team.

McKay, Kemp, O’Keefe/ Reidy and Moir want a spot in the forward line too. Our forwardline will be fine as long as we don’t lose a tall….well, Harry to be honest.

Go Blues

Impressive White winning the 2km trial
And surprising not to see either of the Hollands boys in the top 5

Bloke ought to know better

With Cottrell on the sidelines, I would’ve been framed the market around Walsh, both Hollands & Chesser.

Feather in the cap for Will, but I can feel a worry wart growing…

Ollie didn’t participate. Do we know if Ellijah did? I can’t spot him in the photos: https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/19441 ... s-off-2026

Jagga top 5

From training from my spies today Chesser and Dean on light duties

Newman and HOF running laps

Jagga in fluro hat in match sim

Kempy playing deep forward moving ok
Cotterell participating
Elijah moving well

Billy Wilson and Carroll giving run from half back


Pitto Moo Haynes not participating

E Hollands looks super fit and leaner than previous years.

Kemp has beefed up.

Further to Frank's spy's info:-
- Pitto did participate in some drills but, like Jagga, had the no-contact cap on
- Haynes definitely participating for the most part
- Harry McKay bit of running, but then disappeared from the track
- Young blokes Cody Walker & Lewis Houndsome trained (aside from his light frame, you wouldn't know Cody was a junior)
- Ethan Phillips, Flynn Riley & Darcy Tucker from the VFL squad participated fully
- Frank Evans impressed me when his group was scrimmaging near me
- Talor Byrne did a few nice things, including one cracking mark in the match-sim, he's got something to work with
- Ben Ainsworth's burst of speed surprised me

Houndsome. So is he more handsome or is he a creep and hound some?

Sam Edmund reported the other day that significant progress has been made in Walsh's contract talks and there's confidence he will be re-signed before the season starts.

That would be a huge boost.
