will play his 150th game in the Navy Blue guernsey - the jumper he grew up wearing as a supporter - as Carlton looks to continue its strong run of form from recent months.

Last weekend’s sub, Ed Curnow is the sole omission from the Round 22 team: he has been named as one of four emergencies alongside Jordan Boyd (now available after suspension), Sam Durdin

[Just Kreuzing]

Here’s a nerve settler

Both teams have won their past 5

Carlton average points for 105
Carlton average points against 63

Melb ave points for 102
Melb ave points against 84

Their defence gives up on average 3 1/2 goals more than us , offence breaks even.

Have some confidence - battle of defences on a slippery deck - we win.

Stats would be more relevant if we both played the same 5 teams in that period though….

Just get the job done somehow tonight will do me !!

 

[GenYBlue]

Matildas will win and so will Carlton.

Let's go!

 

[Foucault1989]

Going to be reasonably wet for the next few hours. Lots of showers crossing the city.

On paper suits both teams with their contested games

 

[Juddrockz]

if one of our blokes bounces that lair langdon into the crowd, brutally & fairly, I will be more than happy..............

Along with the Milkman!

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Was planning on coming down, with my son's. However, getting old and back has flared up.

Just need the boys to come out and do what they have been doing. Heaps of pressure, heaps of run and be first to the ball.

Conditions should suit our smaller types, Mots, Owies, Boyd if he plays. Actually Ed would be a good sub tonight.

Huge game for Dow, against the likes of Trac, Viney and Oliver. Love to see him play a blinder.

MCG car park closed to general public.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

On my way in with Sinjin Jnr, * I'm nervous, he's as calm as a yoga teacher on valium, he thinks we have this.

We need Cripps to go into beast mode, Hewett and Dow to do their things and Curnow to kick at least 4 with Martin, Motlop and co to grab a couple each.

Must lock down on Melksham and Pickett, this is the sort of game they could get a hold of us, especially in the wet.

Funny story. The wife runs ahead at southern cross to get the train to Richmond myself and the daughter are a tad behind as soon as the wife gets on the train the doors shut. Lol

 

[JuddgementDay]

It’s weird being at the MCG to watch the Matilda on the big screens before the Carlton game - but, it works

 

[HarryFlashman]

Funny story. The wife runs ahead at southern cross to get the train to Richmond myself and the daughter are a tad behind as soon as the wife gets on the train the doors shut. Lol

Who’s got the tickets?

 

[Schoonerman]

Who’s there ?
Weather update ?

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Weather update ?

Drizzling but will clear up according to the radar.

 

[carlton_99]

No late changes. Ed the sub for us. Hibberd for them.

Funny story. The wife runs ahead at southern cross to get the train to Richmond myself and the daughter are a tadpole behind as soon as the wife gets on the train the doors shut. Lol
