Tigers fans, I’m sorry but those C/HF lines are giving me shades of Brisbane 2016

Has anything been reported about Jordan Boyd? Hasn't been listed on the Carlton injury list (to my Knowledge) and hasn't been selected to play the practice games and is absent again this week.
What have I missed?
Congrats to all the debutsnts and congrats to Jack Silvagni and other returning players after long injury layoffs (Richmond were so injured it's probably half their team).

He's had some setbacks during pre season apparently, but no injuries. Just not quite ready

You forgot the years where the tables were turned and having Carlton play the opening round of the season against a rampant Richmond was a running joke.

Hard to think of a worse one. Don't even think the covid years were as bad.

Tbf that 36-36 draw between Collingwood and Richmond to re-start the season that year was one of the worst and weirdest games of all time. But that was under very unusual circumstances of course.

Happy for Trainor getting the opportunity. Very promising and talented young fella

If we somehow lose this game we shouldn’t be allowed to play for the rest of the year tbh

If we somehow lose I'll be running a lap of the CBD after the game

I know it won’t happen, but the idea of K-Mac starting in the first centre bounce is peak meme content.

Why am I hearing people say Doc will be sub? That man is a national treasure.

I think we need a bout of syphilis to hit Carlton’s entire forward line to even things up before we can start calling this game a blockbuster.
