Preview Rnd 18 - Carlton v Brisbane Sat 19th Sept 7.40PM @ Gabba

[FRUMPY]

Last man standing.
We are the walking wounded, half of the list is cooked.

Can't believe our Match Committee would be so bloody stupid as to keep fronting most of the best 22 up week after week, sorry, game after game,
if only it were week to week. Plenty of clubs have been happy to manage a handful of players game to game, including their stars. We largely keep
going to the same well. I am assuming many are done. Perhaps some of the "boys" have been subjected to heavy gym sessions, utilising the hub
time for concentrated development. Remember the season would have been well and truly over for most by now, and they have to front up next
year. With Vic restrictions continuing, is there any guarantee the pre season will resemble "normal"? It has been confirmed by ITK poster(s) that
Dow and Kennedy are both "done", Marchbank done etc.

Yet were overrunning them in the 2nd half?

This is our annual drubbing in the last round. Last 4-5 years we have been belted.

Yep, must be almost an average of 100 losing margin in the last round?

Hard to argue this - I‘d be extremely surprised if we even raised a yelp for this game.

Money for jam if you are a betting man this game.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

A few want Fish out, is that due to the 1st qtr shoulder issue as didn’t watch the game from early in the 2nd qtr.

SPS will be lucky to hold his spot.

Dow is done for the year. Why are people putting his name up as an option.
I would suggest the whole squad go to the strippers and then get a kebab afterwards. Get the whole listed suspended so they can't embarrass themselves with other putrid performance

 

[Juddrockz]

In Kreuzer
Out whoever doesnt want to turn up to play 4 quarters.

Ins and outs, does it matter?

[jackn]

Out: young kids gaining experience
In: old 'leaders' that can't or won't tackle, High price recruits that go whole halves without touching the ball.

Why change for the final round.

I'd also try and get Weitering onto your list of outs.

 

[Abyss]

Kennedy must play. Not sure why he has been out tbh. We were destoyed in the middle.

The info I gleaned from elesewhere is that Kennedy is carrying an injury. Also that Cas has been too, I remember he was goung to be rested earlier in the season but soldiered on. Probably the reason his ruck minutes have been reduced. Cripps carrying an injury since mid season as well although most of us have worked that out. Dow and LOB were working on game aspects/injuries and were being managed, so them playing these later matches werent to script so to speak.
Just want a team out there not injured and willing to play for the club. Dont care about a win or loss but finish off the season as strong as possible. Every minute this team is exposed to AFL level footy with a winning mindset is crucial.
Anyone cotton wooling themselves f.... off. Losses should hurt, never be accepted at this stage of the never ending rebuild.

 

[Bluechip66]

Let’s play an under 26 team.

 

[FRUMPY]

Round 23 2019 - lost by 68 points
Round 23 2018 - lost by 104 points
Round 23 2017 - lost by 81 points

Yeah we aint winning this or getting close.

Maybe with a super fund. We ain't super.

I know he does it every week but imagine the stubbornness required to genuinely want to drop gibbons this week.

You’d have to have literally not paid any attention to the game

Round 23 2017 - lost by 81 points

Well it’s not before time we put in a red hot showing, win lose or draw, to get some impetus going into 2021 and to help us attract preferred free agents. I’m glad Lions have top 2 locked away now so no super incentive for them here.

If they don’t go into this with real intent I’ll be disappointed. We did beat them last year and a shock win wouldn’t surprise me.

Chance for AA though.

Let’s play an under 26 team.

...and then have a huge whinge fest next week we get flogged

 

[agro]

...Past performance is not indicative of future results

3 year rolling average is around 85 points - so I suppose a loss less than that is a “win”.

 

[HARKER]

Ins and outs? Who knows? We haven't many to pick from any more.

The worst things is that if Essendon beat Melbourne, we'll finish in the bottom six....again.
