I can’t he’s not played a game of footy since Sep 2022

Can’t change dumb… so Lynch will probably try and whack a few before Cripps puts the flog on his arse

 

[thylacine60]

Team defence should sort him out. He hasn't played in any game for nearly 10 months.

Let him try and whack Boyd or Newman....they'll give it back with interest.

He'll then have the Enforcer, Fog, to worry about!!!

lynch mob.......

Derpy reply deserves equally Derpy response but I cbf. So you can have this gif of Fabio

Improved each year under Voss, credit to him for that improvement

I meant in game.

But yeah, initially he was a runner that couldn't football. Now he's usually reliable as long as he stays within his capabilities. Still a gut runner.

That would be the absolute worst result for us.

We simply have to win this. We can’t take them lightly as they’ll find a new lease of life for us. We owe them

[thylacine60]

they can shove their "air-ope" where the sun don't shine, as gummy might suggest..........

 

[teddy-hopkins]

I'll take any win... but I really hope we flog them.

We've won 1 out of our last 14. We owe them to say the least.

Their defense looked very light weight last week against Suns who absolutely belted them then coasted home. Hard to pick too many Richmond players who'd get a game in the Carlton team at the moment.

 

[Bletch]

We should win, and win well. But beware a side that can kick 7 on the trot.

 

[bmaurizio]

We’ll win this game against the tigers, a walk in the park.
After a few quarters of competitive footy, our boys will take it away.

 

[Les Grossman playaaaa]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That has me fired up for Thursday night.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Blues by 10 goals.

Put the sword to these flogs.

it was 8 and it was us.........

I mean, Bletch’s post is right, but your post is righter.

I am sure there are people like zeeCFC and the like that track this.... but I get the feeling Richmond always save their best players for games against Carlton.


The saints are the other side where their players miraculously come back at the same time

Who cares...

I don't think we're going to destroy them by 10 goals... but despite who they're bringing in, we just need to bring the intensity and we'll run over them.

Prestia and lynch usually have their way with us.

I think young will fine on an underdone lynch. Get has 0/4 one on one losses on Friday.

 

[Blue train 28]

I think Richmond will be in it for 3 qtrs then we get away win by 26 pts
Alex C in for doctor
Motlop in for owies
Let’s go !!!

 

[Blue train 28]

Does anyone know if there is an open training or Carlton function on this week

 

[Soapy V]

I just can't see any changes this week apart from replacing Doc. Reserves game was apparently poor and the Seniors did so well.

I expect Carroll to start and someone to come in as sub.

The only concern I have (minor) is that we are now too much of an inside midfield with Cripps Kennedy Hewett Carroll in the side. Personally, I think going forward each week one should start as sub and come on after 1/2 time. Like Carroll Friday night they can have an influence around conested ball. and this is without Walsh

Also allows more minutes in midfield to Cuningham Fogarty Cottrell Motlop E.Hollands etc for more run

I agree that defence is their biggest hole, and none of their ins really address that.

This. Cerra needs to spend more time in there until Walsh returns (hopefully soon). If Carroll can keep developing over the year that would be a big positive. IMO, Cripps and Hewett together in the midfield add very little outside run. This is our Achilles heal.

 

[JustaBattler]

Carroll is out with a groin injury.
