Review Changes V Carlton

[Sunny_]

Last game at Metricon for the season.

Carlton will be hoping for a significant percentage booster this game, but will they get it? The last time we played them was our first ever game. It will be interesting to see how much we've improved despite the lack of players we have to pick from.

Ins and outs?

Rischitelli, A.Hall, Prestia and Iles are all chances to return this week. I think the Coaches are really quite hopeful with Prestia.

Hope Dixon is good to come back too. Apparently his back was not 100%, which is why he missed last week.

Ideally, I would go something like...

Out: Coad, McQualter, Toy, Taylor
In: Dixon, Iles, Prestia, Rischitelli

...but who knows considering the injuries and how they're recovering?

Probably a week away still.

Out: Coad, McQualter, Toy, Taylor
In: Dixon, Iles, Prestia, Rischitelli

That's such an improvement in just 4 players. I just can't believe how hard injuries have hit us this year. Seriously, if it was a 4v4 pickup game of footy, Dicko, SmIles, Prestia and Risch would win by like ten goals per quarter.

Cheers. All thanks to Ludbey from the Herald Sun. Has some great shots from pretty much all games at the G'. That one's from yesterday v Hawks.

Did anyone know if McKenzie played on the weekend? I know he was named in the 2s, but he didn't get any goals or ratings in the 'best' list.

You would think he'd be an auto-inclusion since his suspension is now done and dusted.

Wasn't he suspended

From the seniors, but he was named in the 2s team.

Like I said, don't know if he actually played or not.

Hey guys,

Just out of interest, how is Bock travelling? How far is he from running etc? Will he be right Round 1 next year? Looked like such a nothing injury at the time too! unfortunate.

I think he's a couple weeks out from running, according to his latest update. He's still on track to be 100% ready to roll for the pre-season, so yeah, should be set to go round 1.

Hitting 30 next year too. Could be his last season depending on how he goes.

Odds are up on Sportsbet

Gold Coast $13.00
Carlton $1.02

The line is 60.5 points @ $1.92

Prestia, Rischitelli, Hall and Hunt all ruled out until the end of the season. I guess the dream ins wont happen after all!

Dixon is listed as test for his back.

 

[supernova_]

I hope Dixon comes in, has been a super player for us in his limited outtings I reckon. Hope he finished the year off well.

 

[Dammit]

For your sake I hope he polls well in the BnF supernova_klown . A lot of man love, all justified of course! I can see why though. Love his tenacity - rarely seen in a big guy.

As for the changes, who are we realistically looking at? McKenzie and Iles for Toy and... Taylor?

 

[CQSUN]

I think Taylor could remain in the squad, maybe Shaw to have a rest after being subed out after half time? Flanagan was also pretty underwhelming but with the injuries will probably stay in. If dicko gets through training will he replace Coad? Need to remember that Carlton dont have to many talls up forward so will toy stay in the team? coaches will be preying that he does something to improve his worth.
Call me crazy but I think we have some sort of chance this weekend...

 

[kreglze]

I think us at $13 is pretty high?

We actually played well against Hawthorn and was pleasently surprised. But there was a definate class difference between the 2 teams.

 

[On Da Hunt]

Hopefully Dixon is back. McQualter can get stuffed hopefully he has played his last game for the club.

 

[kreglze]

Yeah put Mqualter as perma NEAFL player, have him play/coach down there, just looked lost on the weekend.

I don't think too many changes will be made, so good to see Magin and May in the goals.

Warnock was great. This week will present a whole new set of challenges with the Carlton small forwards, and hopefully Warnock can shut Waite down.

Hi guys. We're finding the ticketing situation a little confusing. We'll be driving up from Byron Bay for the match. There's about 6 of us and on the website it says tickets range from $22.50 to $60+ but when we try and choose the 22.50 option, it doesn't allow us to select any tickets, and it's not until we increase our price to $40 that seats become available........Is it even necessary to book tickets or is it easy enough to buy them at the gate and can we then just buy the $22.50 tickets?? Also, if we drive to a point where the shuttle bus picks us up, do we need valid tickets for the game to travel on that bus or is that referring to the trains and other bus services?

We're finding the information on the website pretty limited and confusing, so if you could help us out that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

You can just call the club in the morning and hear it straight from the horses mouth.

Not sure what the go is with the ticketing as I have a season pass and haven't had to enquire or look into the issue your having.

With the shuttles, they've never checked mine, but I've always had a GC guernsey on so I guess if you have supporter gear you'll just get waved on.

Great, thanks for that!

Gillbee should be in for a real good chance this week. Just read on the report that he kicked 6 on the weekend. Clearly BoG.
