At the start of the season the Sun's were very disciplined but struggled to kick goals and made it a war of attrition where 10 goals might win. Unfortunately for them they have had a lot of injuries and they cant do that anymore. Sadly i think 8 goals might be their limit. Witts will battle hard.

Enjoy today. Should be a day that we don't have too much to worry about.

Bad luck for Dow, it also good for him to have a breather with no VFL

Kids 19 ffs

The game just got a little more interesting with Joshy De included in the line up.

Will be racing the clock to be home in time to watch the game. The blasted Melbourne sun decided to pop its head out so I have to make hay while the sun shines 😒

They have 3 massive forwards which makes me think they’ll go high and long i50, need to not let Sexton kick a bag.

Please don’t be complacent Carlton, I beg of you.

I am really interested to see how Josh goes. Hope he gets time inside mid. Big wraps on his prep and workrate. He looks to have a nice dose of mongrel about him too. Has been a solid walk in start in the VFL. Good signs

I have to be honest... I'm terrified of this game. We've managed to rise to the occasion of a team above us on quite a few occasions during the last 4 - 5 years... but very rarely have we disposed of a team well that we are expected to beat.

This game is as good of a test for us as playing Geelong, but for completely different reasons.

Go Blues... hoping a solid win signals we have turned a page!
I agree, sadly, I wouldn’t be to shocked if we lost today by a really in form GC team, but then won next week against the crows.

Hoping this is a new Carlton team which wins these games.

Sorry to interlude, just commenting on De Luca’s debut for Carlton. You will get a fierce, hard nosed pressure mid. He’s not going to take his second chance for granted.
He was woefully out of position for Freo when he played. In the notorious high half forward pressure role. Never got a chance.
Good luck to him and the Blues, definitely will be watching with interest.
Love it when opp supporters come over here and add to our threads! Cheers Ricci, hope you get up against the swans too

Gibbons definitely. He seems to have good composure and skills. Different to the kerridge/graham types who could find the ball but were never good/fast enough decision makers.

My gut says Deluca is somewhere in between, hope he turns out a gun tho!
Gibbons has been really solid this season, especially when played in position. He has had quiet games but at no point has he looked overwhelmed or that he wasn't up to it.

I have a good feeling about Deluca. But even if he becomes a really good player for the vfl side, can put pressure on the seniors to perform and fill in for injuries, I'd say that's a win overall.

Just had an appointment with my specialist and found out he sponsors a Richmond player. After their game vs Gold Coast, the player told him that GC had no defence, it was literally a training drill and there were so many avenues to goal.
Suns almost at 5;1 now

maybe the forwards and work today and see a solid total
well above 100 pts
