Not sure why people say this for games they're expected to lose. He survives all these bad losses/fade outs but an away game to two time premiership Brisbane he goes under the hammer for?

It's just that they will be 1-8 after losing to the Lions, fans were expecting them to be a lot better than that with the Dogs, Port away and then Geelong waiting for them before the end of the month!

 

[The Tip Jar]

Brisbane by 35+ from the model. Carlton's issues go beyond one week and the Gabba on Friday night is about as bad a draw as you can get right now. The Blues need a massive statement but the Lions at home are top 3 in the comp.

Don’t diss models. I’d like to see you walk down a runway…

You want to see me get hit by a plane? Your days are numbered.

 

[Atomboy]

Carlton on Friday night...great!

It’s quite heckin'g amazing isn’t it ?.

And people complain about equalisation funding.

 

[Macca180]

Percentage.

 

[Xtreme]

Vossy needs to show leadership and drop Cripps to the VFL.

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up

 

[voorhees]

brizzy will burn them and then pull back and steadily cruz home.
brizzy - 35-45p

 

[Osho]

Wouldn't it be typical of the unpredictable nature of the universe and humans that the Blues get up in a complete boilover?

Yea, nah.

Brizzy by a perspirationless 6 goals.

 

[cblues4864]

i think this can go either way

if brisbane go full steam ahead and start well 80-120 point win

but i think we will put a fight for a bit but brisbane will blow us a way in a quarter of footy similar to what the swans did to us in opening round.

if swans can kick 12 on us in one quarter.

melbourne 7 goals in a quarter, more like 20 min

north melbourne 5 goals in minutes

adelaide 5 in like 5 minutes

collingwood like 5 in 5 minutes

freo like 6 in 20 min

and saints 8 in a quarter

would expect the lions to go on a purple patch and kick about 10 goals in a quarter or even more

 

[Billy ray]

 

[Viceregal]

I presume another 60:0 start would be bad for Vossy's tenure?

 

[timokane]

blues start well of course by behind by 2 goals at half time lions run right over them and win it by around 5-6 goals

 

[yoong]

the club that fired mick vossy once to do it again tonight.

 

[Nunez]

[Adelaide Hawk]

This promises to be an exercise in futility, although Brisbane don't really smash teams by 100 points.

 

[THE_GUN]

I presume another 60:0 start would be bad for Vossy's tenure?

He will be sacked at Half Time if that happens

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Could Carlton actually cause on eif the great boil overs of all time tonight?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Possibly.

Probably not.

Could they? Yes. Will they?

 

[EasternTiger]

It will be interesting to see how Carlton performs with the weight of finals expectations well and truly off their backs.

Might free them up to really get out there and enjoy their football.

 

[iBeng]

Got a weird feeling about this one.

 

[Darksidepoints]

Lions by 6 goals

 

[DamoESP]

Engage the tank, get pick 1 and show the AFL that their draft changes are poorly thought out

 

[southern_crusher]

Hewett, Cripps and Walsh midfield has the foot speed of a turtle
