Preview RND 1 - Carlton v Richmond - Thursday 21st March 7:20PM @ MCG - Team Post #1412

[StandByyourMan]

Kennedy to play and possibly get under their guard a little?

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

It is easy for all of us to get spooked with Lynch, because of past results.
The guy has not played for 6 months.
I don't think he will be the big impact player immediately. A bit like our McGov.
I hope he plays and we still beat them. Gives us more bragging rights.
The players will be up for the challenge and Liam has the fitness to keep close.
Go Blues.........deep breath and sigh.......
C'mon Thursday night !!!

 

[ShanDog]

I just can't Diiiismiss this. Yes some luck will help as always. But they say you make your own luck.
Welcome
Keep up the good work or you will quickly find yourself at the Russian front.

Julius Ceasar was very open about being extremely lucky as a general.

Bolton's post-match interview this Thursday will simply be, "Veni, vidi, vici."

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

You might call me Captain Obvious, with the following comments: ...........
The great thing about this opening round forum, is that it is overwhelmingly positive. Feels really good being a Blues supporter. The sad thing is when we lose, some of our Carlton players will come under heavy criticism.
I hope we all have the grace, posture and patience to still love all our players even when we lose.
They are all doing their best, which we know won't always be good enough.
Love this team know matter what !!
Our time has arrived !! F#@K the rest

How blessed are the meek
for they shall have the earth (MCG) for their posessions

I'm glad the meek are finally getting something ... they've had a hell of a time

I feel so out of place - all I want (and expect) is a 4 quarter performance, structural improvement and better movement of the ball against the premiership favourite(?) vs the wooden spooners.

Expectations don’t seem to be in check but I understand the optimism of the new season.

I'm with you. 4 qtr effort, please. Think we go down by 24 points.

Really hope Kennedy and Faz get a run. There midfield is too quick for us and I think if we go in there just hurting them with contested clearances, we are a big chance

 

[__Bobcat__]

I getting excited

Walking around with a half opened pocket knife in your pants excited??

 

[Macca43]

Alright, predictions:

Margin: Carlton by 7

BOG: Patrick Cripps

Top Goalscorer: McKay 5

Key Moment: Gov rides Rance high to take crucial mark late in the 4th, kicks the last goal and secures the winning margin

Can Brackets drive a knee into Rance while taking that mark?

I'm not getting my hopes up. A decade of being in the football wilderness has robbed me of optimism in football.

I need to see some wins before I think we have a good chance to beat likely top 4 teams.

 

[HARKER]

Any chance we can schedule a few more intra-clubs and JLT matches before the season starts?
Not sure I'm ready yet, to head into this year. Feels weird being only 2 days away.

Surprised the club haven't given up some info on who will be playing, or at least for the newbies.
All of a sudden, we've gone quiet all around.

he'll no doubt faint regardless.........

I'm going to take it as good thing. Could be the way we operate this season. It will help keep the media out of the locker room

 

[murphster]

I think they come out on the Wednesday night before the Thursday game.

Yeah Wednesday about 6:00-6:30 I think from memory

 

[I bleed Blue]

Charlie to take 12 marks after a bit of a quiet JLT.

Want to see him on long leads. Using is athleticism and running his opponent into the ground. And ffs kick the ball out in front to his advantage. Don't want to see him in 1v1 wrestles where a 2nd defender comes over and spoils. If charlie can push right up and drag Rance away from the 50, he can get his 12 marks, and McKay and Brackets can do their thing in the 50.

Arn the baggers.

 

[murphster]

Evening all,

My inaugural post is an optimistic one...
Napoleon is said to have preferred a lucky general in battle over a skilled one. With a little luck in the game the Mighty Blues will win by 7 points.

Welcome Colonel Klink and to quote your very own Seargent Schulz with a twist, “you know nothing” It’s the Mighty Blues by 2. Welcome aboard

 

[murphster]

Surely a colonel out-ranks a captain?

It would if you hadn’t been demoted.

 

[murphster]

I agree. I think the team has steel, resolve, and buy in....oh and Crippa as their Captain

Blessed are the meek! Oh, that's nice, isn't it? I'm glad they're getting something, cause they have a hell of a time.
