Carlton - Stevens, O Hailpin, Whitnall

Injuries: Melbourne - none

Carlton - Kreuzer (knee - season) , Cotchin (shoulder - season) , Gibbs (broken foot)

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why YzeMagic is our most entertaining poster.

How did our defence allow three goals through in the final quarter?

We took off 9 of our best to rest them for round 2 WJ.

One little error in your summary, Kreuzer and Cotchin will not be at the same club.

PS. Hope we play Hawks in Round 1 , no Hodge, Crawford and Lewis.

Will Carlton be tanking in round 1 or will they field a full team?

carn you mighty dees

Giving the old leopardskins yet another workout YM ?

i cannot believe Yze Magic is so adament about Ken McGregor and Farren Ray.

these 2 players are probably the last players id ever want on our list. they are exactly what we DONT want on our list making a fresh start in 2008 with a new coach.

McGregor 26 yrs old!!! mediocre bits n pieces key position player. would be useful to plug holes down back and can go forward...pretty much a replica of Ben Holland, another one of our average key position players.

we need to look at young (25 and younger) players who have real talent.

McGregor= mediocrity!!!

Farren Ray is pure and simple a mediocre outside soft midfielder. he was a high draft pick who has shown much less than sylvia (and that's saying something).

Ray=mediocrity!!!

the players we should go for in the trading period

1) Chris Judd

2) Cameron Wood

3) Matt Maguire

There are 3 categories that must be ticked if we are going to trade for a player.

1) they are under 25 years old. otherwise they will be past their peak by the time we are challenging for a flag in 2-3 years

2) they are quality people and quality players

3) will fit straight into our starting 18 next year and add something to our side (i.e. dont trade for the sake of trading)!

McGregor and Ray do NOT fulfil this critera and should not be considered. i wouldnt have either of those players even making MFC's starting 18 round 1 2008.

reports are that ray wants to go back to perth

thats inspired....

Was just about to say that...

It's understood Hawks will be playing Carlton on Good Friday - round 1 next year.

The AFL will probably send us to Perth

We are more likely to head to Darwin! :angry:

the other bit of YM/s dream that wont happen is Neita wont be BOG. Bit like treadrea at Port we can expect the big guy to get 7 goal bags in 2008 BUT he will demand 1st or 2nd key defender! but a good wish list YM

That's one hell of a victory...

But you made one mistake...

Jud plays for Carlton apparently.

Will Carlton be tanking in round 1 or will they field a full team?

Depending on how Hurley goes injury wise over the summer, Carlton will no doubt be looking for him to become their star backman and will tank from round 8 to get him!!!
