What was once thought a gimme game, this round against Carlton looms as a bit of a danger game. We have not played good footy in the last 2 rounds although managed to come away with a win. Carlton on the other hand are running hot and have strung 2 wins together. Carlton now have the Judd machine making all the difference to their mid-field and delivery to Fevola. Fevola (26 goals) has been in awesome form in recent weeks bagging 7 goals last week to be second on the goal kicking ladder behind Buddy Franklin (29). For the first time ever, we have two goal kickers in the top 10 - Goodwin (4th with 16) and Burton (6th with 14). Chris Judd is averaging 25 disposals per game while our closest is Andrew McLeod with 23.6. Some might argue that Judds 25 possessions may have more of an impact on the game than McLeods. Scotty Thompson (23.4) is not far behind, but he has been heavily tagged in recent weeks and is not having any real impact. We need him to lift this week. Our back line - normally our strength - has been down for the last two weeks. Is it a coincidence that we have struggled in the last two games? We need the boys - Bock, Rutten, Johncock, Bassett and Stevens to fire against Carlton. Probably need to play Bock on Fevola (matches him with speed) and have Bassett or Stevens dropping in front to cut off his leads. Our rucks should be able to hold their own against the Blues this week but the determining factor will be if our mid-field can get on top of the Judd led Blues. VB definitely needs to lift this week. A winnable game, but we will have to play substantially better than we have the last two weeks. Hopefully we will see a return of some experience (Massie or Knights) and perhaps see the debut of Dangerfield.

Will be a good game. I have to tape it because i will be at work. just one question what strip will we be wearing?

I'd assume the lucky red strip?
And agree, Saturday afternoon games suck:thumbsd:

I think we can say that Fevola will kick atleast 3 or 4. It's stopping Judd/Murphy/Stevens from giving him the chance to kick 7+. If he does, we lose. Pretty simple equation. We have the backline and midfield to do it, it's a matter of whether our heads are switched on. We only managed to beat Carlton by a few late goals last time, and they've improved significantly since then.
The next 3 weeks - Carlton, Kangaroos, Demons - should all be wins, but I think we may drop one, which will be this week. Just.

There is absolutely no reason at all why we shouldn't be allowed to wear our normal jumper with white shorts this week, like in Round 4 vs Hawks.

I believe the prominence of navy of the back of our jumpers is the issue.

Will be a major test for the Blues. We haven't played a team nearly as well-drilled, fit and defensively skilled as the Crows. My guess is it will prove too much for a team that's still learning what to do, how to control games and how to NOT give up easy goals.
But I'm looking forward to how we go against you. Rather than dreading a fearful hiding as I would have the last few years, I'll be interested in seeing how things play out. There are now actually a few Blues worth worrying about (Judd, Fev the obvious ones, but some others are showing talent), and the much-maligned defence is improving rapidly before our eyes.
My tip is Vince, Porpz and VB young middies prove too good for the Blues, but I think we'll put up a solid fight.
Oh and FWIW I honestly expect to smash the tankers by 10 goals+
IN: Maric, Knights, Dangerfield
OUT: KMac, Shirley, Jacky
Fingers crossed anyway.

Carlton are slowley working out that they should give it to Judd when possible. Too many times i saw Judd running shotgun ready to recieve and he wasn't honered.
Hopefully they dont pull their finger out too much this week, because as far as talented teams....their about it.
I'm backing Truck to do very well against an in form fev, maybe fev could worry with a bit of pace, but if truck gets body contact before the lead then he will own fev.
Im hoping for IN: Danger, Knights, Maric (if dry, although his form should mean in either way)
OUT: Kenny, shirley, Jacky (a few more SANFL games buddy, to get in rytham)
If Maric doesn't come in then I would wet myself to see Walker, he's that lead up forward we're missing, great footy brain.

Would not be suprised to see Bock on Fev. Fev is a quick leading type player, and this can worry Rutten who does not have explosive pace. If Craig floods back then I expect Rutten to play on him, but if he decides to stay attacking and open, then Bock.
From our view
Goodwin - Jamison (Stopped Medhurst and Robbo recently)
Burton - Waite
Tippet - Bower
McLeod - Russell / Bannister to tag hard.
If this was at TD, then I would lean towards the Crows, but we like the G and have a decent record there, so BLues by 12 :thumbsu:

IN: Maric, Knights, Dangerfield
OUT: KMac, Shirley, Jacky
Fingers crossed anyway.
I would agree on the Shirley=Knights; Dangerfield=Jacky, but do you think that Maric for KMac would really help the team at the moment?
I know that KMac is not fast, but I don't think that Maric can cover the ground as well as Kenny. Knights is coming back from a 4 weeks lay off and may not be fit enough to play a full game. With Maric in, would we be able to have the right rotations to keep the centre going?
With Judd, Murphy and Stevens in, our centres need to be kept reasonably fresh to keep up with them. I believe our middle is pretty good but not fully hardened yet.
One question I would like to pose is: Assuming that NC wants to keep the structure as it is, with Maric's showing in the SANFL, would we swap Griffin / Teppitt for Maric? If we don't, then I don't believe Maric should be swapped for KMac. IMHO that is.

I think Fev would thrash Rutten. Would prefer to see Bock on him, with boys filling in the space to stop the lead.

Kenny needs to find some confidence again. We lose nothing allowing Tippett to stay forward and Maric to ruck with Griff. Tippet effectively plays his/Kenny's forward role with Maric rucking (with Griff) and possibly playing the deeper forward target that Tippet was.
IN: Maric, Knights, Dangerfield
OUT: KMac, Shirley, Jacky
Fingers crossed anyway.
Thats what I'd want too.
At a bare minimum,
IN: Maric, Knights
Out: KMac, Jacky
I've not seen Tippett soundly beaten when the footy is in his area yet. Let's use that ability and kick to him getting runners like Douglas etc hitting the pack in front of him!

Tough test for the younger Carlton players to do it 3 in a row. Adelaide are very even over the ground with a sprinkling of brilliance and are a big-bodied team. Hopefully Gibbs comes back from injury, and if Judd, Murphy, Stevens, Hadley et al perform at their best then I think Fev, Fisher and Betts might just get enough opportunities to hold out the Crows. Looking forward to seeing young Dangerfield play (looks a likely prospect - the word electric comes to mind) - but not this week against Carlton.

At least Craig won't whinge about the Crows struggling to come up playing at the Docklands this week. :cool:

I Hope it be a good game for both sides who ever wins really deserves it :thumbsu: either side can;t afford to have a bad Quarter hope we both have injury free game and no reports after winning 2 in arow and being a game or half game behind Richmond I'm sure Carlton will play there very best to make the 8 i can See they will throw everything at Adelaide
beating finalist Collingwoods a Bonus with Fev On fire whos going to stop Fevola with his consitant kicking of big goals and being In Melboune with the home crowd . not sure who the favouites are .
anyway good luck :thumbsu:
Will be a good game. I have to tape it because i will be at work. just one question what strip will we be wearing?
Home strip with the white shorts please. It dosen't clash with Carlton. But I think it will be our 1996-1998 preseason jumper.
It won't be an easy game at all. Judd is getting back to his best and Fevola can kick goals with ease from the tightest of angles. I think Carlton will win a high scoring game by 3 points, sorry to say. I'm quite worried actually, we havent played to our best in the last 2 weeks. We need to improve dramatically if we want to win. The backline is VERY important for us.

Just about sums up my opinions on it.. Not going to stop me going to the game of course.. Just hoping the blues supporters arent the tossers that the bulldog supporters were after a 3 point win.. Should be a good game anyway.

I'm also worried by our form...this is a real 50:50 game now.
Massie should definitely come in...part of our best back 6 imo.
Sir Vlado
22 Apr 2008, 10:16
We should win,
We've got a strong defence and if that works well, and our forwards kick on target and get quality supply from our midfield then we are on our way.
Keep Fev at bay is a big key to winning.
So Crows by 20 points in a high scoring rumble at the MCG.:thumbsu:

I think you are confusing the 2 Sth Aust clubs - Craig does not whinge nor use injuries or youth etc as an excuse - i think that you were thinking of Port Power: they and their coach have a monopoly on whinging & excuses (whilst at the same time trumpeting how great they are in all ways).

Why do people keep raising the tanking issue. If u are not aware no Carlton fans find it offensive.

Yeah your not wrong. That was ridiculous to watch on TV. I couldn't tell what the hell was going on.
Should be a good day today, if it rains we'll win in a tight one. Will be good to see what Tippet can do in the rain. Hopefully its something like Hentschell did to the Power a couple years ago.. :)

If only we were playing them towards the end of the year, then it would be a guaranteed win.
Fev is obviously a threat but considering their poor defence there is every chance one of our forwards can also kick a bag. I'm thinking Burton.

I think it might be a clash guernsey because we wore our normal one against the Hawks. The only real clash I can imagine would be due to the blue backs but I think that would be alright, especially when you consider the Saints v Bombers clash :eek:

Vince Van Mackay
26 Apr 2008, 15:43
What the hell is the facisnation the last couple of weeks with the Crows and kicking to the Half Forward Line. We do not have a CHF in the team, we have have someone playing that position in a manner, but we don't have an actual CHF leading up the ground. Which is a problem.
But it doesn't seem to bother the Crows who love kicking to the non existent CHF, especially when there are alot of Carlton players there.
Here is a tip, kick over them, kick a little bloody deeper into the forward line for once, then maybe we would have a kick for goal that isn't take from 50 out of or on the boundary line and we might get a mark. Instead of the ball dropping to the ground and quickly run across the ground by Carlton.
Agh I hope they change it up, because it took Bocks running to get some of those goals.

26 Apr 2008, 15:43

Vince is an excellent talent SC, been saying it for a long time.
ON THE OTHER HAND, FFS we need to assess our options with Shirley. In space under no pressure, lets handball INTO THE GROUND!!!! His skills are poor, he doesn't move like he used to, he is not helping our cause out there. Must look at a replacement here, this is the highest level of football and weak links will kill you every time.

Start running for each other, start kicking long.
We're playing like shit and we aren't getting belted yet; lift a notch and we should be ok.
Need to start kicking to the forwards within 20 metres of the goal, not 50-60 out.

Mackay's made a few uncharacteristic mistakes today.

Come on, keep the foot on the pedal!
Mcgregor still filling the stat sheet with donuts. If that is what we want then Taylor Walker can do that.
Oh dear terrible terrible start.
37 to 23 early in the second isn't too bad, 14 points down. I can't watch this game because its on fox.
But looking at the gameday live, we've missed two very easy shots in the first quarter and a tough one and I think thats the pressure of playing in an away game. Our first 3 goals have come from a tight angle 40-45m out. Carlton has also missed some gettable shots but appear to have been the far more dominant side in the opening quarter.
In the second quarter we started to fight back in what looks to be a very close game all afternoon long. Adelaide quickly taking the lead with 3 quick goals to Tippett, Douglass and a 50m set shot goal by Burton. It appears that its going to be a close game, on the road, thats a challenge we must face in our away games this year, especially in Melb.
But Carlton have had many more scoring shots, kicking 2 goals 3 to an easy miss by Tippett. We look in serious trouble again as we just can't get our hands on the god damned ball as usual in the away games. 7-11 53 to 6-7 43, a huge challenge lies ahead because its not easy to win when the other team has more scoring shots. I said Carlton would win by 3, and I just have this bad feeling about it.
I don't think its anything to do with the uniforms, we've lost games in all 3 of our uniforms in away games. Red, red and yellow, or home uniforms right. Both of our away uniforms suck. We are just struggling to win away games, its all about pressure.

When he's on, Burton is almost unbeatable.
