Preview Round 9:- Carlton v Hawthorn

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Really worried about a let down this week. Roughead and Buddy are ready to explode, and we have a habit of getting under-performing players into form. wished waitey would have controlled his anger a bit. Not too sure who we are going to put on Buddy now confidently.

"Bob, I got a bad feelin' on this one, all right..."

No real reason, other than the couple of outs may marginally upset our mojo and Hawthorn could pull one out of the bag.

Not bringing in Schoenmakers will hurt us a lot.

Gilham/Stratton vs O'hAilpin/Kreuzer/Henderson.

Again, our selection commitee hasn't set us up well. Gonna take a miracle.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

If they brought in another ruckman I'd write my local member.

The structure has worked perfectly - why mess with that?

Henderson for Waite straight swap, don't go too top heavy against a smallish Hawks outfit

 

[parrot]

Hendo's the only i/c tall, so he's in. Hopefully Robbo in for Lucus. Shame Grigg's not avail. Hope we don't drop Garlett.

Parrot, you've got to get the spelling right for LUCAS.
That spelling tends to look like something you may expel out of your nose.

Hendo would be a certain in and Robbo may be next in line.
Hadley though may well be the surprise this week. We just haven't seen the best of this guy and sadly may never do so.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

Henderson kicked four on the weekend right?

 

[Silvagnis]

Will Hawthorn run out in this strip?

Carlton

B: Michael Jamison, Bret Thornton, Aaron Joseph
HB: Bryce Gibbs, Simon White, Jordan Russell
C: Dennis Armfield, Heath Scotland, Kade Simpson
HF: Marc Murphy, Lachie Henderson, Ryan Houlihan
F: Chris Yarran, Setanta O'hAilpin, Eddie Betts
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Andrew Carrazzo, Chris Judd

I/C: Sam Jacobs, Steven Browne, Jeff Garlett, Chris Johnson

 

[zeeCFC]

Yep TG, that's how I see it

Browne's a worry though with limited match practise after being an emergency for a few weeks. Doubt Robbo would come in as he doesn't have the engine for it to run in the midfield that is).

 

[Quazza]

both my Dad and best mate are Hawthorn men



needless to say, i want this win bad

 

[Silvagnis]

Joseph should lock horns with his old friend Rhan Hooper.

I know Hawthorn are pessimistic about their chances, but this match has the air of the Essendon game about it.

I hope Henderson makes the most of his chances against a potentially smaller opponent and fires to gain some confidence.

 

[Aphrodite]

Aaron Joseph?

JR to win the David Parkin medal

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Joseph should lock horns with his old friend Rhan Hooper.

Excellent call.

He owns Hooper.

 

[Stamos]

Reckon AJ should go to Cyril. Not too worried about Hooper.

 

[krayfesh]

Nah, Army to Cyril.

I'm glad they brought in Hooper, I wasn't sure who to put AJ on this week.

 

[Sublime]

Nah, Army to Cyril.

I'm glad they brought in Hooper, I wasn't sure who to put AJ on this week.

I'm sure Mister Carlton would love AJ to be on him!

MC played by Ron Burgandy, AJ played by Miss Veronica Corningstone.

 

[Sublime]

This game make me a little nervous, but i'm confident our midfield will win this for us. We always struggle to contain both Buddy & Roughy, and this time will be no exception. We must limit their supply through the midfield and give ourselves more opportunities up forward. A total shootout could end badly.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Carrots to Hodge again is a must.

 

[HARKER]

Carrots to Hodge again is a must.

I can't see his diet as being any relevance to the game.

 

[Sublime]

I can't see his diet as being any relevance to the game.

Everyone knows Hodge eats pies.

 

[ECHUCABOY]

Looking forward to the game boys! Heading to a Luncheon at 12pm does anyone know what is on? Have had a bit of a search but was just wondering if it will be free pis, guest speakers or if anyone else is going?

Think Army to Cyril also, with Army running off and hurting him the other way, will be an interesting duel....Looking forward to seeing the final team and who will get who...dont think we'll pull too many suprises.

 

[Neville Bartos]

Gonna be an absolutely cracking game I reckon. I'm glad we've brought in some pace to try and match yours because we've looked very slow the last few weeks (it doesn't help that our fastest player is carrying OP or groin soreness). I think we'll improve a lot this week.

I've still tipped you guys though

I've still tipped you guys though

Ye I'm nervous about this game, on one hand I think we have a better all round team and should have a comfortable win seeing as though you guys are struggling and we have toppled some decent sides, but on the other hand with such a good core group of 5 or 6 players we can be troubled as we have been against you guys for the last 5 years

Roughead is my main concern, I dont care about how poorly he's played this year but for some reason he just clicks against us, our defense has improved out of site but he just turns it on every time we play you guys

It will be a very close game, I think we can expose the Hawks in their backline, but we can be exposed very quickly down back as well, a few injuries and suspensions wont help our cause but look forward to hopefully showing we have depth to cover those

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Joseph must go to Rioli,
If Houlihan plays he goes to Birchall
Carrots goes to Mitchell
Gibbs will go to Hodge

So happy Bateman isn't playing.

Still pretty worried about this week. Someone tell me who goes to Buddy, White??? Does he have the pace?
