Preview Rnd 1: Carlton v Port Adelaide: Sunday 16th March, 7:40pm @ Etihad Stadium - Squad #post 877

Or just a blockbuster... I figured the G is unavailable.

You Vic's and your upside down team sheets lol

SA theory has always been your team should never be going down. Well at least not when youre writing it. Should always be tryingto go up!

What you said makes no sense... You always want it to be downhill to your goals...

 

[BM123]

It doesn't feel like round 1 yadda yadda come on guys build it up a bit, we enjoy it when you guys come over here as you have a good following in SA & there has been some good size crowds to Port/Carlton games at camry park over the years (thank god for AO)

Anyway should be a tight game & I'm looking forward also to the return bout at AO later in the year as they are planning some celebration of the
Port/Carlton 1914 Championship of Australia match.

It's not Port's fault. It just sucks not having the G available for rd 1. The sunday time slot is also....

 

[I AM CARLTON]

Really hope both Buckley & Cripps get selected for round 1. With Juddy and Carrots not available would love to see these 2 get first crack, I reckon they look the goods.

 

[Blueboys7]

If Mick let's the Hoff run around on his own I will lose my shit. He was allowed to take uncontested mark after uncontested mark last year, cutting off so many of our forward entries.

Just bad delivery inside 50 or poor coaching?

 

[JB12]

Does anyone know why there are games at 7.40 on a Sunday now? Is it something the AFL is trying out (like Thursday games)?

 

[HBF]

Cannot wait.
At least this Summer we've had the pleasure of seeing smashing the poms.

SIX more sleeps!

Unavailable due to the cricket.
With the Vics no hope of playing in the Shield final the ground will start to get ready for footy after the final game this week.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Been pretty confident all summer about how we'd go in this one. Under a week to the game and I'm now prepared for the worst.

Yep, footy's back.

Surely there'd be a more interesting match then Port Adelaide at Etihad on a Sunday afternoon. North Melbourne Saturday afternoon? Geelong? St Kilda?

 

[ESKIE]

Fear not franc, reckon we'll win this.

Warnock, Everitt and Daisy to star

They have so little to back it up on too.

Apparently Carrots is a massive out for us (didn't play most of last year and Curnow is as good), Hendo ain't that good, Waite is overrated, their mids will smash ours, the list goes on.

For those Port supporters saying we are writing Port off, I'd take a look in the mirror.

Serious question...why do you read opposition boards?

To see expected line ups, injuries, general news. However, I'm not sure why it is deserving of a question.

Warnock has been good in the preseason.
Could very well be for his best season since coming to the club.
Port will have their work cut our for them to combat him at the stoppages.

Gotta use that advantage, pointless getting first use if they run away with it.

Nonetheless, reckon big Robbie is in for a good year

Carlton v Port is one of the better matchups of the round, don't know what you're complaining about!

 

[grass on a hill]

Big test for our midfield straight up. Boat, Wingard, Wines and Hartlett is a decent midfield and we'll need to be focused from the start!

Not saying he won't be great but he won an AA on the back of easy match ups thanks to a bottom 4 draw.

imagine its his 50th for us

That maybe true but you still have to play well against bottom sides which he did. Not too many AA's for us last year!
