I for one don't. If you remember the last time we played them, we only lost because of Fevola's 9 goals. Post and Vickery were very solid as young players and Key position players. In Round One Carlton will:
Not have Fevola
Not have Judd
Have to match up against a stronger Tiger midfield (by memory we were missing Foley and Cotchin was still injured or playing injured)

And we actually have a coach this time

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

We also have Collins :cool:
There will probably be close to 10 players from Round 1 last year who won't be there for this years opener

Raines
Bowden
Brown
Schulz
Richardson

Simmonds(hopefully)
Mcmahon(hopefully)
Tuck(hopefully)
Moore(hopefully)
Browne(maybe)

I wish we delisted Simmonds, Mcmahon and Tuck so we wouldn't have to play them. I want us to with stick Thursfield, Mcguane and Rance in defence. Leave Moore at Coburg

I'm optimistic CFC will also be without N. stevens and possibly a few others who are under injury clouds. So as long as we have a full list to choose from. I look forward to seeing how the boys perform. GO TIG"S:thumbsu:

It's one of the few games of the season we should win. I wouldn't bank on it, though.

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

It's going to be won in the middle that's for sure, no Judd is a huge loss for Carlton, not just his playing but his leadership. Hopefully Cuz will start to display his leadership even more now with a year under his belt.

I don't want it to come across as biased but I really don't think Carlton has much quality outside of its midfield. We are also unproven outside of the middle, but our potential is young and more talented (ok I may be a bit biased in that area).

We will be favourites in my (one) eye.

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

We will win by 4 goals, thats about the most realistic sum.

FB: Kelvin Moore - Will Thursfield - Alex Rance
HB: Shane Edwards - Luke McGuane - Chris Newman

C: Dustin Martin - Trent Cotchin - Ben Cousins
Ruck: Angus Graham Ruck Rover: Nathan Foley Rover: Daniel Jackson

HF: Andrew Collins - Brett Deledio - Jayden Post
FF: Robin Nahas - Jack Riewodlt - Mitch Morton

Interchange: Tyrone Vickery - Ben Griffeths - Richard Tambling - Shane Tuck

Emergencies: Dean Polo - Troy Taylor - Graham Polak

:thumbsu: or :thumbsdown: :D

When i look at the midfield, taggers, ruck & half forward line i shit myself. :rolleyes:

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

given the exclusion of a number of key carlton players, you would think the tigers will win this one.

giving another fact that everything has changed at richmond and the almost new list of players playing there first real match together they might not win, but i expect a very very thin margin between the winner and loser.

i be very dissapointed if we lose by any more than 12 points, and any win is just incredible.

id replace Martin with Deledio but have Post at CHF. and maybe chuck in another tall up forward as we have plenty of options after this draft.

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

when we play the blues anything can happen. i have seen us give away the first four goals only to be in front at quarter time and win by 60 points. i have also seen us lose when they had several of their big stars out with injury just before the match. there is no rhyme or reason sometimes. will be watching, but will not be penciling in a win until the siren sounds.

Cotchin on the half foward flank, Deledio in the middle, Post at CHF. Replace Martin with Tambling. Griffiths out, Simmonds in as a second ruck.

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

Carlton will also be without Betts, Walker, Houlihan.
Where did you get that crap from?? Those 3 have been suspended from the main training group and from the NAB cup games only, they will be there for round one.

Also they are without Judd only, Fev is not a part of their team as much as Richo is no longer part of ours and won't ever be again so we can't really say they are out...... they are gone.

If they can't beat us, and I don't think they can, without Judd then they are as I have said all along......OVER RATED. On top of they if they can't beat us it will go to show the lack of depth they have as well.

IMO we will go into this game with a very new but good strong side and yes I believe we will win it. Carlton should go in as favourites based on last years above average lucky year and we will bring them down.

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

Few observations. A few posts in various threads here have Tambling on the interchange - As likely as me winning first division lotto tonight

Second, Hardwicks interview with Sheehan a few months ago in the Hun made the point that positions will be very different than the Wallace coached teams. It seemed to indicate Post will be down back and one of Moore, McGuane or Thursty moving up forward. I for one cant wait for the practice matches and NAB Cup to see if we will be radically different or much the same

cute. this thread will be dug up after the game no doubt.
Be our guest. We aren't expected to win anyway.

BUT if we do, the whole footballing community will gather to that little Round 1 thread you guys have going.

Tyrone Vickery & Ben Griffiths were both in the Interchange along with 190cmer Tuck. Don't worry, i have the forward height covered. & i'd keep deledio in the Half-forward line, he has proven to be more dangerous there with goals & still rack up possesions. :thumbsu:

Cute go back to the Blues forum if you don't like it, we would have recieved an infraction point against us for even considering posting over there. :mad:

You might as well go with him Sin City.... 2 infraction points for your sarcastic smiley (I wish)!!!!

Re: Who Actually Thinks we will lose to Carlton in Round 1???

**** this.

I thought we'd win last year. THis year we have a harsh reality.

I'll wait, and I'll hopefully watch, a brand of football that is at the very least competitive. Hopefully.

I'd love a win but last year hurt too much too expect a win this time around.
