But there's no need to conflate his recruitment with the fact Lipinski wanted to leave for more opportunity rather than sweat it out on the wing (which is completely fine).

    I was being serious but now I'm feeling insecure.. So no I wasn't?

    Ha, I'm beginning to think with the coherence of a man who is back on a reasonable sleep schedule and has avoided insanity through having avoided a viewing of Saturday's game!

    And what would be the salary difference be? What would McComb be on compared to Lipinski? For someone who is there to play mostly in the VFL, I'd rather McComb and spend the extra cash on someone else.

    Lewis Young in trouble:

    Carlton will challenge Lewis Young’s one-match ban for a front-on hit on Cameron Zurhaar, as the Blues assess the fitness of two key prime movers ahead of the Mother’s Day clash against Adelaide on Sunday.

    Young and fellow defender Liam Stocker were offered one-match suspensions for early guilty pleas after a spiteful 50-point win over North Melbourne on Saturday night.


    Young was involved in a shoulder-to-shoulder bump which was assessed as forceful front-on contact on hard-working forward Zurhaar in the final term. The incident was assessed as careless conduct, high impact and body contact, but the Blues said on Monday they will challenge the penalty.

    Good. Don’t think there was anything in that bump. Didn’t appear to be any head contact and look like he was bracing himself rather than continuing to go in hard at Zurhaar.

    He was supposedly reported for making hard contact to the body and not the head.

    What a farcical decision… if true.

    At least he had a good season in contract year!

    He’s certainly falling more and more into “unfulfilled potential” space.

    I’m sure he’ll tear us apart one day, but has he had even an ok game against us?

    I have my doubts because his had a few hammy injuries
    His burst speed was what made him so dangerous

    It was evident that he had lost his speed on Saturday

    I think we are kidding ourselves, if we don't think Jakey had a good game against us in 2021.

    Perhaps it is just a day we refuse to remember, but Jakey cost us top 4 that day.

    He did have a few centre clearances that were important, but he 13 touches and no scores… if that’s a good game then the base level is extremely low.
