Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 4 vs. Carlton. Thur 03/04 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

It's a very difficult week to predict the changes. If the Frampton talk takes place and checkers is back then Cox will be dropped I would imagine. There might not be room for Long, which would be a shame. Perhaps McCreery or Lippa start as sub. Very hard to predict

Surely Long to Cripps as a run with is a no brainer?

 

[Kes1984]

Surely Long to Cripps as a run with is a no brainer?

Agree. This seems like the obvious thing to try.

Longs numbers make him pretty un-droppable at the moment too

 

[Hojuman]

Wait I thought we were the club that everyone hated?

Jesus Christ, NO !

 

[Pistol Night]

Big body that can wrap Cripps up at stoppages. Hes an absolute beast Cripps. Pendles used to get a loose run with job on him but that wouldn't be wise for an elderly man these days. Long has the size to match up well

Me too. It looks like one of the 2 I mentioned might be sub. They could go with ned as sub again. I'd like long to start

You'd think so but will there be a spot for him. I want him to start

Cripps has a sore arse from that fall last week still so some wedgies might be on Longys game plan

Voss not guaranteeing McKay back for us on AFL 360

Sounds like they're nice and settled

It'll depend on whether the AFL approves Pendles using his walking frame. He could stop Cripps with that.

**** that. Gopher and run the campaigner over. And a few more of them before security or the cops engage in a low speed chase across the G. Epic

Brainy Brian agrees

 

[Pistol Night]

Brainy Brian agrees

That why hes not known as dumb campaigner Brian

 

[Doc1763]

I think it’s unanimous

I thought there may be a sadistic few that would prefer to give them hope and then take it away. But we have been through so much these past few years

I cant take much more of this, but against them, its even worse. I couldn't even watch the Dud McGovern Brother take that kick last year!

 

[TradeDraft]

I’ll take any win.
Don’t underestimate them.

I tried to put my Engel fridge in the lounge next to the couch a few years ago like a full Homer Simpson until the wife said "That is not ****ing staying there" Was a good Saturday.

More a batchelor’s thing.

Ok you sound like her now.

Yep, they'll be incredibly motivated to redeem their start to the year. What better way to do it than against an old foe.

there is a rumour that 2 other carlton players have missed a game or two for this reason.

 

[gerryg400]

Would you prefer;

A) a classic Fly, heart attack inducing, close win where they have their hopes up only to be broken

B) a demoralising smashing, percentage boosting win where there was no hope to be had

B, I choose B.

What about the old fashioned knee in the nuts?

 

[kalex6251]

from memory (its sketchy so happy to be corrected) long matched up against cripps in a game last year .... and got absolutely burnt at stoppages

on form long deserves a spot .... just not sure this is the best match-up for him

Ned's come a fair way since then.
Give him first crack.
Then sub on Ed Allan to burn him off.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

My bar fridge in my man cave is about 3m from the couch but i reckon id get a high heart rate warning with that torture test some nights. Should move it next to the couch.

I swear the closer the game the more trips to the fridge for me. It’s the only way I cope in a tight tussle, have another drink
