For:
  • traditionally play pretty well at Etihad
  • coming off a win so confidence is up
  • some really handy potential ins
  • playing the bottom team
  • not played on a Friday night so Carlton may not realise when the game is
  • [EDIT] it's Cap'n Nat's 150th, so he gets the keys to Cockburn (WATER SLIDES FOR LIFE, FAM!)
Against:
  • travel
  • six day turnaround vs rested team
  • Carlton see this as a winnable game so will put in a bit extra
  • some unfortunate outs
  • don't have me to shout support at them (actually that could go in both For & Against)
  • game will start in the morning WA time, hope we've had our Weet-bix

Freo by 5 points, Brayshaw RS nom (Cerra will get it in round 15 vs Brisvegas)
thanks for the 150th reminder, list updated, even more salty that I'll be missing it

I'm 50/50 on this one. Coming off the bye is traditionally not favourable but neither is the 6 day break.

Our experienced players are better but so many of them are missing. With both Hills and Sonny I would tip us every time. Without them and given our terrible road form I think the Blues eek out their 2nd win by under 10.
Sorry to intrude...Good call J...not too fussed if blues win or lose just hoping both teams bring effort and it becomes a good spectacle..of course particularly looking forward to the 2 champs...Cripps v Fyfe.

It's not his 150th... it's his One Fyfety-th

Drink that phrase in, in its full glory

Credit goes to someone who can be rather catty on these boards

Heads up for Melbourne-based members - the annual pre-game function is before the game. Not that it helps me, thanks to my friend deciding to have a 40th at the same time out in the Yarra Valley

You're not going to be there to have a beer with me? :(

IF we lose this game the win on the weekend was all for naught.

Freo by 28pts.

Sandi > Kreuzer
Fyfe > Cripps
Neale > E Curnow
Blakely > Dow
Langdon > Fisher
Cerra > SPS


No excuses for losing. Carlton are putrid.

Langdon > Carlton

Doh! forgot to mention :oops: Kick me now!!

It's ok I mentioned it enough last week

Fair call...Can't argue with that.
I rate Cripps highly , Both guys have had a injury setback . Injury free Cripps will just explode next year , Because sometimes it takes a year after a long term injury .Sign him up until he is 30+ he is the real deal

I can … Fyfe … star on decline ..

Cripps beast on the rise ...

Fyfe running with a bunch of kids and still Brownlow most votes in the annual vote counting ceremony no longer called the Brownlow favourite
Cripps is being cradled by Curnow / Murphy and still struggles week to week.

Is that how this works? :D

Kade Simpson is the only Blues player I'd be looking to tag. A good accumulator and leads their 'metres gained' by quite a fair margin. They have so few good players, if you can nullify one or two of them you're 3/4's the way to winning.

Sandi takes on Kreuzer
Fyfe v Cripps
Giro/Banfield on Simpson?

Agree re Kade Simson. One of those players who can play well week in and week out even when his team struggles. Nathan Jones from Melbourne is another who comes to mind.
 
You would argue with anything , You are from Kalgoorlie like me , Born Norseman raised Kalgoorlie . But you are wrong ;)

I will try … how is this ….

Saturdays game will be a top 10 shootout akin to Bathurst with 2 powerhouse teams looking to impose scoreboard dominance ….

Wait … errr …

Hang on …

Freo last few scores
71, 77, 58, 52, 89, 33 : AVG 63.3 points for

Blues
61, 45, 50, 91, 70, 59 : AVG 62.6 points for

Definitely not … 16 points on average per quarter of footy ….

This is going to be a s**t truck fest :(

Almost like watching a game of soccer … 90 minutes for one goal …

I wonder if France will score more collective goals than both of our teams??
