Preview 2019 Round 1: Richmond v Carlton, MCG 7:20pm Thursday 21/3

[TheCoach16]

what I'm most interested to see is how our centre bounce structures go in the real thing now with the new 6-6-6 rule.

We will need all the contested ball winners in there that we can get, which makes me think that young Jack Ross might be a smokey for a debut this week.

This interests me also. Martin vs Cripps. Ross vs Walsh. Cotchin vs... I’m not sure. But it makes for interesting viewing.

you are an idiot !

we are playing the reigning wooden spooners who won 2 games last year. i would be more concerned if we were playing cold ghost suns to be honest

It’s the scums GF and first game of the year, and only for that fact alone they have more of a chance than say they would in round 2 . Load up on Port to beat them the following week by 10+ goals nothing more surer .

Sorry to intrude, but I thought I’d have a read of this thread to get the opposition perspective...
My hatred for Richmond is deep, and no secret. That’s due to a couple of my life long Richmond mates who have made my life a living hell over the last 35 odd years...

One of them covers my car in yellow streamers every time you beat us. Every time! Not a few streamers! Roughly half a ton of streamers!

The other greets me like this every time I see him. He puts his palm in the middle of my chest, pushes off gently, and whispers “Dustyyyyyyy”...

Against my will, I’ve been a Richmond member for the last five years, as these two flogs chip in to buy me one every year.

Seriously, how can I not hate you?!

Anyway, it appears not one of you thinks we have a chance on Thursday night. You probably have every right to feel that way. But it’s the unknowns that should at least concern you...

You know Cripps, and Curnow. We know Rance, and Jack. Matin and Cotchin. But what of the unknowns?
How will big Lynch fit in? Will he play? How much have the Carlton youngsters improved? Will the new rules have an impact? What does the 6 6 6 rule do for the respective midfields? Will Jack have his kicking boots on? What will the umps do? etc etc...

You can’t tell me that when that siren goes to start the game. and that first bounce is delivered, that not one of you won’t be a tad nervous. That none of you won’t think, “shit, I hope our boys aren’t as cocky as us”...

We may not get the four points, but to dismiss us completely would be foolhardy. I look forward to a great game, no injuries to either side, and Carlton by 16 points.

are those 2 stories legit? The Dusty push off is bloody gold lol.


I'm always on record for round 1 as saying there is always great risk in this game.

I'm honestly not a fan of the over confidence being shown around the traps as the blues will come out hard with a point to prove.

It's not going to be an easy game.

And with our slow starts in the JLT it does make me nervous.

I won't lie, i still think we will win, but I don't think its going to be as easy as everyone thinks.


For the last few seasons I have always stood by the mantra that I would rather play Carlton mid - end of season when they are down on confidence than play them round 1 with a spring in their step and a point to prove.

They are completely legit. The Dusty push off is annoying as ****! And when he does it, he giggles to himself like a schoolgirl. I try to pretend it doesn’t bother me, but I may break his wrist some day...

The streamers are just as bad. I drive a hummer. Do you know how many streamers it takes to completely cover a car that big?! And I mean cover! You cannot see the car at all under all the streamers. It takes 6 wheely bins to get rid of them.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These two are ****en menaces!

Why don’t you just park your car in the garage ?

 

[TheCoach16]

Why don’t you just park your in the garage ?

Oh. Thanks I never thought of that!

These guys aren’t rookies. They’re professionals! He jumps my fence and gets into the garage through the back door!

 

[Arr0w]

Well here we are again....

Like last year, think it will be a 5 goal game, hope you lot are complacent

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Oh. Thanks I never thought of that!

Get a dog!
Get a big dog!!

 

[TheCoach16]

Get a dog!
Get a big dog!!

Again, you’re underestimating these guys. I have a big dog! Not that the dog would “attack”, but He brings treats so she won’t bark...

I’m telling you, if these guys used their powers for good, instead of Richmond evil, they’d solve world hunger!

Hahahahaha your a push over no wonder we beat you!

 

[TheCoach16]

Hahahahaha your a push over no wonder we beat you!

Other than sleeping in my garage with a baseball bat, I’m not sure what else to do. Also...

You realise I don’t play for Carlton, right? Not sure what me being a “push over” has to do with Richmond beating Carlton.

Always nervous, can’t deny that, but I think we should win and I think we will win. You’ll be annoyingly competitive, but we’ll have too much quality and you’ll struggle to keep up over four quarters.

I can also see us having our eye on the following week, so if we’re up by a decent margin, you’ll probably get a few late goals to pull it back after we’ve put the cue in the rack. Ideally it plays out that way, but I think you’ll stick around for most of the game.

Richmond by 22 points.

So when do they do it night of the game or during that next week ?

 

[TheCoach16]

So when do they do it night of the game or during that next week ?

It varies, but it’s usually some time over that weekend...

Being idiomatic Richmond supporters, they sometimes do it on the Wednesday before the game!

Been to any opening training days mate?

I have a feeling that if Richmond were 18th and Carlton finished Minor Premiers last year that Carlton supporters would not bat an eyelid at the thought of playing Richmond in Round 1 no matter how optimistic Richmond supporters felt...

spot on lol

all these blooze posters having a go because we are confident, if the tables were turned they would be the most arrogant flogs alive

the fact that they are confident they can knock us off makes me even more confident we will belt them

 

[TheCoach16]

Been to any opening training days mate?

There’s a photo of me at the punt road entrance. Security have been alerted to not let me near the place...

Maybe you can vouch for me and we go together.

Oh come on! Saying a Richmond supporter is “just being confident” is akin to saying the Mona Lisa is “just a painting”

You are next level. Let’s be honest.

How are we next level? lol

The fact that you are so confident in knocking us off is FAR more arrogant than us expecting to win
