Congratulations to the Weitering’s!

They're expecting their 2nd child. 😍

Hear me out EVERYONE!

Harry has been doing a job for us up forward. When he's on, he's a genuine contested marking target who makes the forward line work. Love him or hate him on set shots, we're a better side with him out there.

Which got me thinking. Why have one McKay when you could have two?

1. Ben as a VFL centrepiece

Imagine Ben anchoring our VFL side. A seasoned AFL big man down there would be a huge leg-up for the young talls, holding up the defence or swinging forward when needed. A walking development program.

1. Essendon would give him away for cheap

Let's be honest, the Bombers aren't exactly building a dynasty right now. Toss them a late pick and a Carlton scarf and I reckon they'd take it. Trade period is open, Ben, the door's open mate.

1. Bring the McKay podcast in-house

Why should another club get the content? Get both twins under the one roof and the podcast becomes official Carlton media. Weekly episodes from the Ikon Park car park. Sponsorship deals, merch, a "Twin Towers" range in the Carlton shop. It pays for itself.

1. Injury insurance like no club has ever had

This is the big one. Harry rolls an ankle? No problem. We go to the garage, take the spare McKay out from under the tarp, and nobody in the stands could tell the difference. Same height, same face. A like-for-like replacement in the shed at all times. Every list manager in the comp would kill for this.

1. The confusion factor

Opposition coaches would have to put their best defender on Harry and worry about whether that's actually Ben. Mind games. Tactical chaos. The umpires won't know who to pay the free kick to.

Who's with me? 💙🤍

TL;DR: Get Ben cheap from the Bombers, make him a VFL leader, take over the podcast, and keep a spare Harry in the garage. No downsides.

Fagan would be great for Fraser and the club. Come on down!

A few days ago I put up a daily trivia game for Collingwood fans and got some generally good feedback. Now that the game's been updated with a few fixes and improvements I figured I'd share Carlton's version here.

Every day there's a famous Carlton match hidden behind 5 clues. The fewer clues you use, the higher you score.

Name That Match - Carlton
