Not sure if Carlton team been posted?

My nomination for the Carlton spud who somehow kicks 3 goals against us this time is....Dale Thomas.

same feeling as ordering two ladyboys

This is how I reckon the teams will line up tomorrow night.

Lynch to play deep forward and to only leave 50 when the ball is in our defensive half. Higgins Butler and Rioli to play up forward to create havoc when the ball hits the ground and to also minimise the ability for Simpson Newman and Garlett to provide rebound out of D50.

Cotchin and Cripps to go head to head, while Curnow tries to tag Prestia again. I reckon we sit McIntosh on Murphy on the wing to limit his impact linking up through the middle.

In our back half Rance goes to Charlie Curnow, Astbury to take McKay and Broad to run with McGovern. I reckon Gibbons tries to sit on Houli to limit his impact and we'll use Vlastuin to try and use Walshs inexperience to create the +1 as Walsh pushes up the ground. Grimes to give Fasolo nightmares.

Balta to split time between the ruck forward and bench depending on how much Lynch blows up in his first game in over 6 months. Graham to be plan B if Cripps becomes a problem. Weller to go forward when Dusty pushes up into the middle while Short is used as the defensive rotation.

 

[mellowyellow]

Like the look of the side Hope to exploit the bluez with the inclusion of Lynch and Balta in particular with Weller offering plenty of opportunities up forward
Expecting a comfortable win of about 5 goals

 

[Karp3_dm]

He’s an athletic beast!! So we are going to use that to our advantage running between the 50’s and giving nank a rest in ruck!

Get bloody excited tiger fans!! This kid gonna be a star!
Potential next kouta!

 

[Del65166]

Not sure why everyone here and the whole football public and so called expert commentators think we couldn’t play lynch and balta together...

mark my words balta is the new grigg!
Will be playing mostly on the wing and ruck! He will be our lead up get out kick down the line out of defense with potentially 10-25% in forward line.

Balta is in for Grigg. But I don't know if he has the tank yet.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

jiewoldt lynch dusty full forward line lol rip oppos

 

[parmy2balmey]

would prefer bongs lloyd over weller

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Remember the gimp who’d always talk him up

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Bad news lads, on my way home from work and I see Cotchin locked out of his car.... Might be a late out.

Even worse, he shops at GAZMAN.

haha classic
































hmmmm now not sure if serious

 

[Black Saab]

how many 100 metre penaltys will the umps gift the blooze in the first quarter ?

Agreed. How many of the new rule changes are they going to pay against us as a major source of Carltons goals only for the AFL to come out post game and say the umpires got it wrong.

 

[HTT]

How much time does dusty spend forward. Asking for fantasy reasons.

We obviously have more forward options now so less than last year
But for round 1 on its own? Caddy and Castagna are both out so he'll probably spend closer to 2018 time down there.

Though really, Dimma probably doesn't even know where Dusty will choose to go, what chance are we?

 

[Muddiemoose]

How much time does dusty spend forward. Asking for fantasy reasons.

I’m guessing like 15% forward and 75% mid

Got more marking power in the side with Lynch and also now Balta

 

[Muddiemoose]

would prefer bongs lloyd over weller

Lloyd better offensively but think Weller will be better playing as a defensive forward similar to the role Towner has played for us

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Sorry to intrude!

What's with Ellis?

I don't think he's too bad at all. What's he doing wrong to not get a gig?

Being a soft****

 

[SavDog23]

Our full forward line arouses me.

Carlton are absolutely shitting bricks now.

 

[Shazza_]

Remember the gimp who’d always talk him up

yeah it was his dad lol

 

[French Tiger]

So basically from our prelim side

Lynch for Caddy
Balta for Grigg
Weller for Costagna

[Crumpet_avenger]

Yeah Butler at CHF I’m sure they will line up that way

He's stolen sheds spot. Shedda will be spewing

 

[Grrr]

Prestia to play on Cripps and get under his feet. The big oaf will fall over him all night.

 

[Shazza_]

inb4 dimma is obsessed with playing talls

 

[roacheee]

Agreed. How many of the new rule changes are they going to pay against us as a major source of Carltons goals only for the AFL to come out post game and say the umpires got it wrong.

nah, that'd never happen





















oh wait
