Preview Rd14 - Carlton vs. Richmond - 3:20PM Sunday 25th June @ MCG - Final Team post #658

[Kramer1]

Mindgames.

With Richmond? Like playing tennis with the net down.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Am hearing that Nankervis (calf/cork) is touch and go and a good chance to be a late out. If true, Kreuzer is going to feast upon Soldo.

Soldo is also injured so it would be old man Maric in if Nank is sore. Maric has a good footy brain and better skills than Soldo obviously but he's slow and can't jump all that well any more so would be a handy change for you guys still

Was half expecting to see for Richmond

In: cup of concrete

Out: giving up late leads

And a mid week trip to Luna park,
To the House of Mirrors,

FOR A LONG HARD LOOK AT THEMSELVES.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

I don't mind the ins. Two hard bodied 24-25 year olds and a lightning quick Pickett.

Will all need to work on their pressure acts as that is what the three outs excelled at.

Expect to see smedts and daisy rolling through the back half..

Go blues.

Graham just turned 23.

Let's just put our differences aside for one minute and collectively lol at Essendon and Goddard. i think it's worth being united on that.

 

[myblueroan]

A glorious moment no matter the outcome on Sunday.

 

[Shazam82]

Maybe I'm a half glass full kinda of guy, but I think it's great that we're freaking out over losing three first year players (DC was injured for most of last year).

 

[tugga]

A glorious moment no matter the outcome on Sunday.

It was just a beautiful thing. Peace be with you Blue boys and girls. We are united if only for our hatred of the Pies and the Dons.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Graham just turned 23.

Yeah, easy to forget.
It feels like he's been around the club for about a decade.

Mate, I just posted this link on a "Blues fans only" thread. I love it. Apparently most Pies fans still think the sun rises when Bucks drops his dacks to sit on the throne in the morning.

Not really.
I cheered when Brodie Grundy kicked the winning goal against you guys last year.

Bolts presser:-

 

[Aphrodite]

Forth went the thunder god
Riding on his filly
I'm Thor he cried
His horse replied
You forgot your thaddle thilly

Lacking picture of Tigers players on horseback

Tis now complete!

Bolton: Docherty is fine to play tomorrow.

 

[Deep Blue]

The pure hatred of Collingwood and Essendon has been driven into me over 40 years of fanatical, diehard support. I don't hate Richmond. They just really annoy me.

When Essendon lose to another team, forget about Carlton for the moment, especially by a goal after the final siren (just like last night), then there's only one word that adequately sums up my feelings - schadenfreude! No, where Essendon are concerned, it's Schadenfreude with a capital "S"! Sorry, I need to stop for a moment now and let out a hearty, evil laugh! Collingwood and Richmond on the next level down just at the moment - yes, they annoy me!

Go blues.

Thought that Palmer would be one of the ins based on VFL form (Smedts, Pickett and Palmer)? Happy to see Graham in though - got a feeling he'll play a good game against the Tigers! Is Palmer injured?

Hope Fisher's achilles is a minor issue? Haven't heard anything official regards the expected time out for Cuningham and Fisher? Hopefullly all will be okay in 2-3 weeks. I want Fisher and Williamson back in so they can get their RS nominations!

Thors a female now... According to Marvel

Thors a female now... According to Marvel

WTF?

That's new

 

[Deep Blue]

Yes to all of that. Smedts is a hard one - it is not beyond him to really find something at some stage (ala LJ). Gut feeling for this match is that someone steps up who hasn't yet - either a Zac Fisher/Curnow type or maaaaaaybe a Smedts/Jed Lamb type..nothing more than a gut feeling (which admittedly, to some degree or another, I get every week)... Which ever way one looks at it, this Sunday is big BIG.

Yes, Richmond often succumb to the "Duigan Factor" or the "McLean Syndrome" - Smedts and Graham to both kick three goals?

 

[Deep Blue]

Hey, we've had a good run with injuries. Could be alot worse.
I think the replacements will be an adequate cover.
I am still confident we will win.
PS. Got on SEN yesterday and spoke with KB. Gave my reasons why Carlton would win.
Scored 4 tickets to the game and a couple of Bertocchi hams. This has got to be a good omen.

Go Blues. Casboult to kick 4 goals.

We might see you on tv doing a "Watermelon Boy" then, but this time just hoeing into a Bertocchi?

 

[Moe B]

Anybody notice that teams are trying to play our style, short kicking and controlling out of defence?? Coll are trying to but they can't do it for s**t...

We went and filled up our defence with skilled readers of the play and intercept markers. We've skipped a break on the opposition if the Hawthorn model is still the one as our defence is stronger man for man than the Hawks defence was ... IMO of course.

In '72 it was the Nicholls factor !!!
