Josh Rachele is an annoying pest with his goal celebrations, but i would cut off my left nut to have him at Carlton. We need a talented and feisty shit stitter on the team. Too many soft spoken introverts at Lygon St for my liking #AFLCrowsFreo #CarltonFC

Harry Sheezel (126AF) and LDU (105) top the player-stats average for North, with Blue Sam Walsh with suspended Roo Xerri on 101 Key Players: North veteran Luke Parker was instrumental in the back half against Essendon, gathering 33 possessions @90% & 13 marks to provide vital stability to the young Roos line-up Carlton midfielder Elijah Hollands was a standout in an otherwise disappointing loss, finishing as the Blues' highest-rated player with 25 disposals@ 80%, 2 goals, & 7 score involvements Head-to-Head The rivalry has been balanced recently; North Melbourne won the most recent encounter in Round 15 of 2025 by 11 points. However, Carlton claimed a massive 82-point victory earlier that same season in Round 6 The Kangaroos will look to exploit Carlton’s apparent lack of durability in the final hour of play. If the Roos can maintain their high-pressure system through the first half, history suggests the Blues may struggle to respond TIP: North Melbourne by 20+
North Melbourne will seek to capitalise on their recent breakthrough when they host a Carlton side searching for answers following another second-half collapse Recent Form: North were gritty and composed in their 12-point win over Essendon. The Kangaroos snapped a decade-long hoodoo against the Bombers, showing significant maturity to hold off a late charge at Marvel Stadium Carlton is currently struggling with consistency. In Round 3, the Blues led Melbourne by 43 points before a catastrophic second-half fadeout resulted in a 23-point loss, marking a total -153 point differential in second halves this season
North: $2.29: 6th (2-0-1; 288 for, 247 against, 116.6%); Carlton: $1.63: 16th (1-0-2; 221 for, 303 against, 72.9%)

Carlton will be seeking redemption for their second-half collapse in Sydney when they host a rebuilding Richmond side in the traditional Round 1 opener at the MCG Recent Form: Carlton (10th, 0W, 1L) was humiliated by the Swans in Opening Round, conceding 12 goals in a single quarter during a 63-point defeat. Their defensive structures failed to match the speed of elite transition football in the second half. Richmond (17th in 2025, 5W, 18L) has yet to play in 2026 but their youngsters showed significant promise in their final pre-season simulation. The squad has been energised by a new generation of talent looking to fast-track their rebuild Key Players: Carlton midfielder Sam Walsh was a lone four-quarter performer against the Swans, finishing with 32 disposals, 6 clearances, and 8 score involvements while gaining nearly 700 metres Richmond's young stars, Sam Lalor and Sam Grlj, look ready for an immediate impact after decent showings in Richmond's pre-season games Head-to-Head: Richmond holds a slight psychological advantage in this fixture, having won the last H2H, a 13-point victory in Round 1 of 2025. Both teams have two wins a piece in the last five, with one draw The Blues are under immense pressure to rectify a defensive system that buckled in Round 0, while the Tigers will look to exploit any lapses with their new-look corridor game TIP: Richmond by 10+
Carlton: Ins- L.Cowan, M.Carroll, H.O’Keeffe; Outs- A.Saad (injured); A.Moir, L.Reidy (Omitted) Richmond: N/A
Ladder has Carlton on 10th but only 10 teams have played. Richmond on 17th but this is sorted alphabetically of the 8 sides yet to play.

Generally I've been out on Michael Voss over his tenure.
But this year, strangely, his specific set of skills might suit this specific Carlton team.
They are less broken than you think.
