No.1 ticket holder

The Carlton Football Club is delighted to announce Dylan Alcott as its new No.1 ticket holder. The 2022 Australian of the Year will be officially bestowed the honour at the President’s Club function ahead of tonight’s blockbuster against Geelong.

Black arm bands – Dennis Munari

The Carlton players will wear black armbands in honour of the late Dennis Munari. Dennis was the 799th footballer to play for the Carlton Football Club since the VFL’s inception in 1897. He represented Carlton in 41 senior games from 1967-70 and was a member of Carlton’s Premiership team in 1968.

[My Tilly]

Blues by 18 points.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Will we have 23 fit players to field?

 

[RAPPA]

If both teams play as they did in round 1, then Cats comfortably

 

[Power Raid]

expecting an upset

blues by 10

 

[Arr0w]

3 goal game either way

 

[Zevon]

Blues to spring a surprise and relegate the Cats to 0-2

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

If Stewart and SDK are out do we even have a defence at all? Big Sav and blitz? Oh we're so fugged.

 

[Danw0w]

Blues will win

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Cats midfield vs Pies were very ordinary, Blues mids will go to town - linking up with our tall timber.

Just hope there’s some grass left at the G… no more injuries!

(Touch everything wooden… madly)

Blues by 23.

 

[Worm4]

If Carlton can move the ball quicker going forward leaving our tall timber on 1 on 1's , then blues will win.
If they try and control the ball slowly , then they will lose

 

[STPer18]

If Stewart and SDK are out do we even have a defence at all? Big Sav and blitz? Oh we're so fugged.

SDK should be fine considering he went back out, but no Stewart, Kolo or Henry will make it interesting with the Blue's forward threats.

 

[MisterMarcus]

SDK should be fine considering he went back out, but no Stewart, Kolo or Henry will make it interesting with the Blue's forward threats.

He was very obviously hampered, though.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

There is no reason the Blues shouldnt win this game with geelong missing 6 defenders
Blues have a good midfield that should win enough supply to provide MacKay & Curnow with opportunity to kick 10 goals

Cats midfield is not fast apart from 1-2 players and blues mids should account for them
Hawkins & Cameron need to wear long sleeves as it looks like they could get cold

 

[jooce8891]

SDK should be fine considering he went back out, but no Stewart, Kolo or Henry will make it interesting with the Blue's forward threats.

think he was out there due to necessity, he could barely move and was basically a decoy.

 

[Chinacats]

Blues not as zippy as pies probably helps cats out a bit… even money i think…

 

[evo]

Sav is going to struggle to muzzle M'kay. Dude was everywhere against us.

 

[Osho]

Boyoboy ... this game now takes on some extra spice ... with unsatisfying results round 1, there will be some extra commitment and pressure.

Surely the Cats, such a well organised team. Was it running out of juice, or running out of will? Shall find out soon enough.

 

[Toump Ass]

Cats easily.

 

[dean33]

Cats for mine. Blues didn’t impress me Thursday, our ineptness inside 50 saved them.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

This game is a bit like China v Russia

which is the bigger evil

 

[PrinceCharles]

Can't see this being close, got our junk game out the way and were lucky enough for it to be against the Tigers, so still got 2 points. Blues by 42.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Cats by heaps. Blues mids are treacle slow

 

[Xtreme]

Both teams were uninspiring in their round 1 matches. Facing off against each other it's either going to be Carltons second draw of the seqson or a 3 point win.

 

[The 747]

Carlton usually give us some trouble regardless of ladder position.

However if both teams play like they did in round 1 we will win by 10 goals.
