All that matters is if you believe in yourself Chris.

What's the deal with this Stocker fella and why should our forwards be scared of him?

According to the Carlton board, he cleaned up Mihocek last year (Highlights video on YouTube of the game didn't show it) and they're hoping he hurts Ginny on Sunday.

EDIT:



Okay so he likes a bit of pushing and shoving and put a nice little shepherd on Checkers (1:33 in the video).

Cool story I'm sure our forwards are are gonna have some sleepless nights worrying about Stocker pulling at their jumpers on Sunday....

You have to be wary of that 5th man in to a push and shove. There will be songs written about this bloke.

Battle of the Coaches Voss Vrs McRae
Have McRae in front, clearly showing more chest hair and already dressed in Black and White

Plus he's got the pornstar moustache.

 

[iGNITER]

If Cox is ok to play then T.Brown comes out of the 22 for Henry. If not, then T.Brown survives.

Start one of Cameron/Cox at FF with Elliott and Ginnivan roaming around. Pendlebury, DeGoey and Adams in there for the first bounce.

B - Maynard Moore Quaynor
HB - Noble Howe Crisp
C - J.Daicos DeGoey Lipinski
HF - Henry Mihochek Sidebottom
F - Ginnivan Cox/Cameron Elliott
R - Cameron/Cox Adams Pendlebury
INT - N.Daicos McCreery Murphy WHE

 

[Stripes B and W]

The other big question for me is defence. Will we keep a strong structure behind the ball like it appeared to be against Freo, or will the wings and half backs get on their bikes and look for that attacking wave running that can be so damaging when it works, but leaves the defence really exposed when it is countered and we turn it over.

FWIW, i think we look to maintain a solid defensive structure behind the ball, but look to both wings to be box to box runners. I think Steele, in particular has been ordinary but wow has he worked back hard into defensive 50, just picture Lynch marking over him and infringing in marking contests over the past few weeks as far back as the goal square ( on problem with this he is useless above his head ). He has the running ability to fill space and help the outnumber behind the ball and be part of the chain to work the ball fwd. I like Josh D more as that fat side/ attacking winger, although he too, has worked back in the past few weeks.

 

[Big Bryza]

He'll be fine. Was taking it easy today. Possibly hammy tightness?

Sore shoulder from being chicken winged.

Why not both?

Yeah they think he's the second coming of Byron Pickett the way they circle jerk over him.

Players don't get cleaned up anyway in this day and age. Stocker will just need to concern himself with Ginni kicking a bag on him.

 

[YouBeauty]

I think Oliver Henry into the 22 is a given with Cox out injured.

Do we persist with the Begg second ruck? I don't think T Brown will get that gig again.

Is Roughy back yet or still another week away?

Don't think we'll make more than the one forced change.

Huge call by the OP here on Henry.

 

[Jen2310]

Huge call by the OP here on Henry.

hows that a huge call?

 

[Big Bryza]

Yeah the obvious switch is Henry in to the 22 with T.Brown as sub, pending Cox being passed fit to play.

Terrifying.

Mihocek will eat stocker for breakfast

Remember that game against the Dons a few years ago when Elliot kicked 5 goals on Saad?

History is about to repeat itself on Sunday.

 

[Zzorse]

Am looking forward to this game and a win.

The only Saad game I can remember is when he got take off Stephenson after a quarter

 

[PyrrhicVic]

After 20 years of mediocrity you'd think Blues fans would have some humility, looking forward to pantsing those frauds.

 

[Jen2310]

When did stocker suddenly become this best ever defender, AA player lol

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Not when you have 3 900k players in Grundy, Moore and Degoey.

Nick Daicos will have a new contract on offer too likely much higher then his current one.

Reef, Oliver, Quaynor etc all likely to have significant increase on next contracts.

We also don’t want to repeat past mistakes of blowing the cap and having no wiggle room to fix the midfield through FA and trades. The odd player sure but best to have bulk of it through drafting imo.

FA is where we should be looking for Rougheads replacement.

Nick Daicos is signed until the end of 2025. We should be in a good cap position by then, you would hope.....

Salary cap will be fine - half our list would be on base wage. We'll afford JDG comfortably and continue to bank cap until we're ready to load up with recruits.

myblueroan is a noble horse who would never do such a thing. he is no pony. he also knows a pretty Carlton roan is no match for a sturdy Collingwood Clydesdale

i have been in their thread and offered him a carrot based bet to see the best horses team win. we will see who ponies up.
