AFL 2017 - R1 - Carlton v Richmond, MCG, 7.20pm

[Longdroughtdees]

Dusty for president

The way I see it Dusty's got 3 main issues:
1) chopsticks
2) getting arrested
3) getting suspended for stupidity

Once he overcomes these he'll be a lock to take Charlie home...

Another bogan 6PR listener. Was racist. 100%

Someone else, maybe a slip of the tongue but Hame is known for his mouth.

I dont live in Aus you FW

 

[Farang83150]

People are only offended because they think they should be.

Spot on.

 

[Glenn_]

Carltank already?
I know early days , but not showing much improvement on last season.

 

[Power Raid]

1) Sure you didnt want to use a 9th joke? They are both so original
2) Has never happened.
3) Hasn't happened in about 5 years.

So he really has 0 main issues! Great.

Dunno about Richmond. Would have to be a bit of a worry that we matched them in a lot of the key categories. Without Dusty they would have looked pretty poor tonight. But round 1 is always tough to read.

? 13 more inside 50s, 21 more tackles while having more disposals, won in clearances and contested possessions even with your midfield being where your best players play. You won frees 25-12 tho I guess.

Tigers players, fans and officials to sing the song 5 or 6 times and carry on like they just won the flag.

Some things never change.

Yeah how dare we enjoy the win and sing our club song with enjoyment after our first win of the season, season opener for the AFL season after not seeing any foot for 6 months.

I actually thought none of the Tiger players looked overly impressed with their efforts immediately after the siren.

It would have been fairly obvious to the senior Richmond players that other than the excellent forward pressure from their small forwards the side as whole was deplorable defensively.

Or that they just won a game.
Sainters better not celebrate at all, thats if they even win.

If I were a Carlton fan I'd have walked away from the G feeling pretty optimistic. Ground zero, but Weitering, Marchbank, Pickett, Macreadie, SPS all showed plenty and Cripps was obviously miles off his best after his preseason.

Structure was woeful but that's not a criticism of Bolton, there's so much more upshot in this system than the damage control of last year.

Wasn't overly impressed with Caddy but if it means Dusty isn't wasted in a more defensive role, perfect. Have to be happy with Nankervis, Prestia and Rioli. Richmond will get slaughtered by better countering sides playing that footy though.

 

[Vitalogy]

lol all the supporters like demons and saints thinking their sides are way better and are lock ins for 8.

 

[Danog]

Well round 1 can only get better from here. Carlton made Richmond look good. Memberships will be back in the mircrowave next week.

You support Melbourne

 

[Boxx]

Casboult gone?

Will et at least a week for that....

This was always going to be the year they bottomed out. Reckon they'll be bottom two, but oddly there's some light at the end of the tunnel.

Given Carlton's defence has been its strength under Bolton (eight teams conceded more points in 2016), to let through 20 goals/13 goalkickers would've been disappointing for Bolton. Carlton fielded the three tallest teams in its history in 2016 and were 2cm+ taller than Richmond, but maybe the mix wasn't quite right despite the big win in contested marks.

When is Carlton's next game at the MCG, they have now lost seven from their past ten matches at the home of footy. I remember last year in round 17 they only lost by six points to West Coast at the MCG.

Jacob Weitering is the story for me. If he Continues to play up forward he'll be up there as one of the best key forwards in the league in a few years imo. Just a natural footballer and it's scary that he's a teenager.

I'll go to bed tonight with my team on top of the ladder. It doesn't happen very often.

So he really has 0 main issues! Great.

9th joke??? - Richmond!!

 

[HumanMeatball]

I see the Richmond hate is strong.

Will et at least a week for that....

Still rust for a number of key players, first real game of the year, Carlton game is always a crap-shoot yet we won it comfortably, lots of upside.

There's more to like than dislike from our performance which is the main point. It's just one game, hardly any need for people to trash either side because of it.

 

[HTT]

Decent chance to go 5-0 if you can beat the eagles in Melbourne.

I'll wait till next week I think before making any long term calls on us. Maybe even the week after. I think on getting our fixture 4-1 was always on the cards, it's a pretty nice start.

The infamous big footy melt when Richmond have a win.
