Game Day Port v Carlton

[Sewer de Lance]

We might be undermanned, but we’re back at our favourite ground, Brisbane choked again (LOL), Carr is still in the coaches box, & Carlton, let’s face it, will always be Carlton.

Port in another thriller

 

[240volt]

I get the feeling this won’t be a close game.
All the talk is about Carlton winning, you would think they’re 2nd and we are 12th.
Port by 32 Toddy leading the goals with 4.

 

[Alyx]

Carlton by 119.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'm not a betting man but I think we should win comfortably.

We have a lot of outs but two good ins, two injured players going out and some others but our Top 10 players are still playing.

I find that Carlton being favourites to be crazy. They've won 3 in a row against bottom teams that aren't North Melbourne or West Coast.

We are also playing on our home away from home. The Marvel deck really helps our creativity and kicking.

Our only possible issue is the captain.

They might start with a bit of zeal but we should put the foot down sometime.

If we lose and our tackles are down, especially our tackles inside 50, we need to start looking at accountability in the forward line.

I hope I haven't given the lads the kiss of death.

Time for a few lesser lights to step up.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

This game feels like a bit of a dead rubber after last nights result.

Lets hope the lads are switched on.

 

[davesnothere]

Will take a win by anything.
Does have the feel of being one of those 1/4 of brilliance 3/4s of stress kind of days.

Ollie's game steadily building again. 35 possessions.

 

[Capital Power]

I think there's enough belief in this team now to overcome the seemingly destabilising number of changes. A lot will depend on first use and the success in locking the ball forward.

Port by 5 goals. They're 12th for a reason.

 

[TazD]

We'll smash em.

 

[GremioPower]

 

[Marmozet]

This will go one of two ways:

Win for the ages by the resurgent Blues as they snap interstate raiders 13 game winning streak in front a packed home crowd.

OR

Carlton revert to type and completely s**t the bed in such a big game and Port win by 47 points.

 

[Ports1870]

Hard month coming up, win this and we’re 3 games clear of third with 6 weeks left.
Must win

 

[Peninsula Boy]

It will be interesting to see who gets the CBA of the Hornets.

Do we just give a bit more work for Wines or add Boak in there or try out some other players like Bergman, Mead, Powell-Pepper, etc.

And also, who will be the sub. Just because there are so many different ins, I really don't know what Carr and the coaching staff is wanting to do. I wouldn't mind seeing Sinn but you would think Burton might be the go.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

I hope Carlton feel the pressure and expectation of today's game, expectation is their kryptonite.

 

[JimmyBC]

Don't care if we drop this one, let's see if the system holds up with some key outs. A win here would be a fair effort.

 

[Visenfest]

It’ll be another ‘do just enough’ kind of win

 

[backtozero]

Not confident. Hopefully end up pleasantly surprised.

 

[philreich]

It's hard to keep winning forever, but it'd be nice to extend the streak by at least another week. I'm expecting a close encounter - Port by 19 points.

 

[Papa G]

Carlton supporters are the worst winners in the league. This game is very droppable, we are so due a flat game it's not funny and I fear this could be it. Losing is not the end of the world, but as I said Carlton supporters are the worst winners in the league..... so * them.

Caahltun by 5pts

 

[Duck Farmer]

The same Vic media that want Voss sacked and Hinkley extended are tipping Carlton over Port.

Says everything I guess.

in the ARC with an expanded role to review every umpiring decision. Carlton by half the total goals scored by Curnow and McKay.

 

[Powerade 08]

Carlton play Hinkleyball and we are a top 8 side. We know how this works. Just need to turn up.

 

[Marmozet]

Prepare yourselves for some Carlton 2015 & 2016 type umpiring today.

 

[Jonts]

The only 2 games i havent been able to watch port play at all are the the 2 losses

Boy do i have some news for you

 

[Coobk001]

Win 4 of 7 and I reckon top 2 will be secured.

This is winnable, so I hope we pull it out

All year though I've been expecting us to drop games though so I'll stick with it cause it's working. Carlton to end our run by 11 points. We've kept winning despite injuries but today will be the day it catches up with us.
