[bkozican]

Both teams gearing up for round 1. Should be a good hit out

 

[MeestaNob]

Roof partially open...

 

[Tas]

Can't see how Carlton can lose this game...

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Gerard doesn't know how the sun works.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Healy just said that Jaksch had been a great find for Carlton.

They traded for him, you muppet.

That means they targeted him, and gave up picks. It's not like he's come from nowhere.


Next he'll say that Franklin was a great find for the Swans.

 

[Jaeger]

Maybe the roof is broken and they are disguising it as an experiment

 

[MeestaNob]

Dreadful skills early on for both teams.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Maybe the roof is broken and they are disguising it as an experiment

Maybe there is actually no common sense at AFL house, and they're disguising it an experiment.

 

[Tas]

At least we have had two sunny games, when it is overcast the open roof can be disguised as okay. Need to see it at it's worst.

 

[Silvagnis]

Byrnne has settled after his last game. Good size, run and intensity. Older body than most 20 year olds. 188 cms and 90 kgs. Straight out replacement for Bootsma as a running defender/utility.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I wonder if Mick can see where his first loss is coming from yet.

 

[funk44]

At the game Duncan looks an awful lot like Selwood with that haircut

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The cats look good when they have their intensity right, but overuse of handball still a negative. I'm glad they've gone back to using the forward press, please stick with it. Lang again impressing, and Joel - what a star.

 

[Righteo]

At the game Duncan looks an awful lot like Selwood with that haircut

Isn't Duncan substantially taller than Selwood?

 

[funk44]

Isn't Duncan substantially taller than Selwood?

Yeah, I think 7 or 8 cm but it can be hard to differentiate that from a distance

I was more saying he has a Selwood-esque appearance with his new haircut

 

[Jaeger]

Cats looking sharp.

 

[MeestaNob]

NAB form is no indicator of the season, but early indicators show a really long season coming up for Carlton.

 

[vonn]

Yeah, I think 7 or 8 cm but it can be hard to differentiate that from a distance

I was more saying he has a Selwood-esque appearance with his new haircut

I thought it was Selwood. I was wondering why I was so attracted to Selwood before I realised it was Duncan.

 

[Tas]

Blues getting their pants pulled down atm.

 

[Righteo]

Big fan of Guthrie, seems rather under-appreciated outside of Geelong.

Carlton's ball movement has been shambolic, may as well go back to the traditional MM "creep up the boundary" gameplan.

 

[ManWithNoName]

"I shouldn’t say this in front of the cameras, but it’s very, very difficult to see where we’re going to lose a game,” Malthouse said to much applause.

Let me help.

MCG, Ethihad, Spotless, SCG, Adelaide Oval, Patersons, Kardinia Park ...

 

[The_Wookie]

I wonder if any of this has to do with the match at hand or I should card people for trolling.

 

[Silvagnis]

Practice match without our best side and ball users on the park.

Guess we should blame Jones for playing on Taylor who is no slouch as a KPP.
