Not bad that King Charlie stuff. Makes me realise how much I miss Fev and how much we all loved him during some dark times.

 

[katmanblue]

How bloody good is this… Will get you up and about for tonight:

How's H feel about this?

Cameron will destroy Cinc.

Newmans the man for Cameron.

Yet Plow was able to quell him on several occasions?

Hmmmm. not seeing your logic.

Do you think Kemp has the speed to keep up with Rayner?

 

[Benaly28]

You are underselling Cincotta, he is not a kid and has plenty of both experience and smarts. I have no idea of the match ups planned, but have no doubt Cinc would acquit himself well. He is a rookie, but is not a rookie.

Yep absolutely.

Cameron is next level.

Given his name isn't quite as synonymous with that of the new king of England, probably not too fazed. Will be gunning for a Prince Harry montage though, no doubt!

I just think Cameron is much better player than Cinc. And has more tricks in saying that I hope he kills it no matter who he plays on.

Feel for the next whipping boy and next week's preview thread being all about player that was or wasn't dropped and all of their flaws

And whoever it is, regardless of position, at least one person will mention Dow should of played instead of them.

 

[Blue1980]

The list is getting smaller though - probably only got honey Jsos left maybe young -- if we lose $100 says we would have won with cunners and Dow ..

How long does TDK not have to play for before people think he’s the answer to all our problems

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

I'm getting a tad excited...3.5 hrs to go.

Go BLUES!

I remember feeling unusually excited and anxious hours before our last Brisbane game(been living in QLD. for decades, and I really want us to give these smug pricks a shellacking, or at least a defeat).
Six goals down by quarter time, game over, totally numb and relaxed from there on.
Just ******* do it, Carlton. Go Blues.

Go BLUES!

90 mins until detonation!

 

[dewah07]

Is the assumption that Doc will play up the ground?

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Do you think Kemp has the speed to keep up with Rayner?

Hell yeah!

Fear Rayner will rip him a newy.

At the moment playing Robin to Charlie’s Batman.

Hope it ignites him.

Come on you bloody baggers!!!!

BRING

IT

 

[Rustica]

So pumped for tonight. Has Round 10 against Swans vibe about it.

Lets roll this team!

Go Blues

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

"What we would like to see" is a far cry from most of the content. But Fisher isn't playing, so perhaps what we would like to see from the players named?


Your names are different to others


You have already put a line through his performance while suggesting others will play well to keep him out. Thats some crystal ball


Don't kid yourself, Fisher is well and truly a whipping boy this year

There will be plenty more names, whoever has a down game will be nominated as an out, and a VFL standard player will be the next coming of the dominator

I kid you not.

 

[outabounds]

Its time to announce ourselves. It really is time.

 

[btdg]

A bit like last week the key here isn't stopping Brisbane.

Quite simply, we win if we kick 15+ goals. We have to be confident to go out and hunt the game, and in particular, for our midfielders to push forward aggressively and put acores on the board

Last week we got this - 7 goals from the midfield and backline compared to 5 for the entirity of the previous 6 games. In the last quarter in partciular they were queuing up.

We have to be brave, attack like we were doing at this time last year (when we beat Sydney and took ourselves from 4-2 to 8-2), and forget our weaknesses. Yep, they will score on us if ter do that... and we need to lean into our strengths enough to score more than them, not try to defend them to death. Brisbane are too good to just shut up shop and hope that they defeat themselves - we have to go out and take it from them

 

[Coona Blues]

Is the assumption that Doc will play up the ground?

Yep, eight defenders named, he will be in the midfield rotations almost certainly.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Good. The piping looks good and is vaguely reminiscent of our distant past a chamois yoke.
Hoping we show up prime time Friday!

Apologies. Looks like the orange socks are still a thing.

 

[Blue__Balls]

I kid you not.

He's been dropped....kind of supports the general criticisms doesn't it

 

[Benaly28]

Apparently someone just fell off level 2
