Please read the following mod notice for further information.

Mod. Notice - Round 14 - Wickzki Week

Suns will have to be off their game for us to get up, imo. Or we'll have to produce something exceptional, which seems unlikely, although I still think our first half last week showed signs of what we need to see, so if we improve on that it will be promising.

Like many, I'm baffled by Fog in and Dow out - the position argument doesn't carry weight with me. Feels like it's personal. Doubt we'll get much from Fog.

Anything could happen, but even Suns trouncing us wouldn't surprise. They are playing good footy - they're everything we hoped we would be. Still, can't wait to see Cunners out there again Pity our season is cooked before Martin and Cunners returned. After Cunners, watching the forward line generally will be the main interest today.

Looking forward to watching Bailey Humphrey too.

Can’t believe Warner is still getting a game ahead of Dow

Post of the year ️ !!!

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Soooo

How we feeling about this game?

We gettin’ it done or what???

On paper we should.

If we lose, I would almost begin to half suspect we are manoeuvring ourselves to get a better draft position ...

No manoeuvres required I’m afraid

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Soooo

Undersized defence, underdone half forwards, slow midfield, umpire #22....what could possibly go wrong

Either way, I'm heading there shortly to cheer the boys home for a win....hopefully. Sun's out over the G, what more could you ask for.

Law of averages wins out today surely

 

[Elmer_Judd]

The good news is my rolled ankle is feeling better (not perfect) and I am doing a James Hird bravery act and going to the game


I want to tell my grand kids I was at the historical first ever clash between Carlton and Gold Coast at the MCG

 

[RiCHii]

Pretty sure we play him for a month the argument disappears.
We are not playing for finals, so clearly the remainder of the season is about trying things in many different ways.

If we played him for a month and he was horrible ... fair enough. But the treatment of him currently is disgusting.

Think we've been adhering a bit closer to Murphy's Law.

Going to the ground now

My son & I are just looking forward to a winning feeling again - that’s all

Let’s go Baggers!!!

 

[Graffy4242]

How these preview threads, still, a conga line for Dow being hard done by

Because, he has been hard done by.

We have almost the worst midfield in the competition, he has more tackles in a quarter and a half than 90% of the team, and then doesn't even make the extended bench. It's a farce and nothing you respond with is going to convince me otherwise. 99% of the supporters believe he deserves a full block of games as do almost all of the media.

 

[Juice030103]

Taking my sister to the game for the first time


If we win I’m taking her to every single game for the rest of the year

#10-0

Need to turn it into a s**t fight. Not sure we have the pace or the height down back to compete otherwise.

 

[Schoonerman]

You are. He's just one of four emergencies.

Maybe I wasn’t

 

[Arr0w]

Because, he has been hard done by.

Not sure how he has been hard done by, when the two levels are poles apart and still has glaring deficiencies

We have almost the worst midfield in the competition, he has more tackles in a quarter and a half than 90% of the team,

Seen this a few times. Perhaps go back to the footage to see what on what basis the awarded the tackle stat.

None stopped an opposition player from disposal

and then doesn't even make the extended bench. It's a farce and nothing you respond with is going to convince me otherwise. 99% of the supporters believe he deserves a full block of games as do almost all of the media.

Media?

Hasn't this been done to death over the last 18 months, even when we were winning games?

 

[Mikkey]

Dow will be sub.....

 

[charred_fate]

I can’t help but notice the looks of sympathy that I receive as I walk along Southbank promenade in my Carlton gear

Hoping the Sunnyboys freeze up in the cold weather
Go Blues!

A tackle is only counted if it prevents an opponent from a producing an effective disposal, by definition.

So your statement is incorrect.

 

[Revenant1965]

Soooo

First time in a while I've been more optimistic than pessimistic. I think we have a more balanced side, albeit a bit short in defence. Am going to be out for a while and will only be able to occasionally glance at score. But hoping for a winning replay this evening (along with a Khawaja double ton)...

We’ll be very Happy Men if that happens.

Watch the footage, happy to discuss it then, in another thread preferably
