Apparently it’s not about form it’s about like for like … even if the like for like offers absolutely nothing … lol

Loved the like for like with Docherty and Kennedy last week!
If the coaches/match committee aren't careful the players will lose faith and see it as a farce

It's fricking game day bitches!

Lets take down these top of the table clowns.

Voss can show Ross and SOS who's the Boss!

Who needs Ross the Boss when you’ve got Voss the boss?!?

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Which one of our forwards is Stocker going to line up... on?

SOS?

 

[T2B_]

You don’t think that Plowman can handle Membrey?

No one can handle Membrey. He sees Carlton jumper and turns into Wayne Carey.

 

[Accidental genius]

Which one of our forwards is Stocker going to line up... on?

based on our players named as forwards...

wont be H, charles or jsos for obvious reasons

wont be durdin or motts - too small and quick for stock

leaves fish and honey. so probably one of them.

 

[outabounds]

Sounds weird coming off just one loss but looking at our draw, we need to make a statement today. if we cannot get over the line and lift, I don't think we will play finals this year.

 

[Arr0w]

Bounce the ball ffs

 

[agro]

Is that what you want to happen? If not, it seems like a superfluous post. You wouldn't be doing that would you agro? I wouldn't think so.

Tell me about Plowman's assets that you think might work well against Membrey.

You would like to know about Plowman's assets, I am reminded by Plowman's dedication to the task as a lockdown defender and the "tale of the tape" between Ploman and Membrey, which makes Plowman a logical match up for Membrey, I fear that Weitering and Young may not be nimble enough to take on Membrey and I can't be sure if McGovern will be fit enough to take his place today in the side therefore Plowman may be the logical match up - and should Plowman be brought into the side today and hopefully curbing Membrey's influence in today's game and finds himself victorious in singing the Club Song in the victory circle at games end (which of course we all hope is the case today) I can't help wondering if we can't compare our Lachie Plowman with the late and great tennis player of the 70's and 80's Vitas Gerulaitis who after experiencing defeat 16 times in a row at the hands of his great rival of the period Jimmy Connors - declared after beating Jimmy Connors in the semi-finals of the season ending Masters Tournament in January of 1980...."And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row!"

Who would that leave for Weitering and Young to play on though?

Membrey will likely be the main target with King and Caminiti out

Good question- but sometimes you just have to have a horses for courses match up.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Saints will be on today as they seemingly have been all season.

Today will be as much about showing up as it will be about tactics or personnel or matchups. If we bring our best football for four quarters we will win.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Harsh based on 13 games.

This time last year he was the next big thing on here. Now Kemp has moved to that spot.

He's probably always going to look average in his role when we play as badly as we did last week where opportunities are very limited. Thought that Durdin and Motlop struggled as well.

Hopefully the ball spends a bit of time in our forwardline and he can reward the faith that is being shown in him.

Just seems that everyone on here wants to take pot shots at players at the moment. Surely it's inke the clubs interests if he can make it.

Kemp 20 to 30 possessions a week.
Honey has no form

Hopefully for us a very fast one.

Looking forward to Harry shutting up the critics by kicking 7 and ending Wilkies grip on the All Australian jumper...

I watched the first quarter of last weeks Saints v Pies early this morning, and Saints looked anything but dour and ultra defensive to me.(Lyon-style)
Today it's gonna be 'run and gun' vs. 'slow it down and chip it around carefully'. We are going to need to bring our best footy, despite their shortish team.(or maybe even because of it)

This was the case last year but yet to see it happen in 2023. Here’s hoping.

 

[Benaly28]

It’s very simple today win the clearances and centre bounces quickly to our forwards NO SLOW PLAY

Gutted, was really looking forward to going to today's game (our first of the season in the afternoon in Melbourne) but my Mother is quite sick at the moment and I have to stay home and take care of her.

Good luck to the boys and everyone going today.

 

[Blue_Hock]

Heading to the game today with the trouble and strife and tin lids. Hope the baggers respond which I reckon they will.

The thing that worries me about today is the saints system, discipline and game plan. Lyon has them playing together as a team confidently and I'm afraid we just don't have that chemistry/gameplan atm. As I said, we'll respond but will it be enough to beat them? I bloody hope so...

What will Voss show Ross and SOS if it's a Loss?
The Goss on BF and TC will be Dross
For mine it's a Toss of the coin
Go Blues

Like for like is really who the coach likes for who the coach likes

 

[jpfalvo]

Plenty of rumours kicking around on Carlton fan groups that 1 or all of Kennedy, Walsh, Acres wont get up for the game.

Anyone hearing anything?
