Preview Essendon vs Carlton: 07/06/13, MCG, 7:40 PM

[FlyingV]

Simpson, Murphy, Yarran, Walker, Garlett, Betts, Lucas, Armfield.
their spread and run will rip us a new one
Carlton by 24.

 

[Swanhotels]

Do you think that the Blues will opt for the Heavy Watson tag and go head to head everywhere else or potentially tag Stanton as well? Swans let Stanton off the chain and put all their tagging work into Watson, this obviously worked it will be interesting to see if the Blues go down the same path. I think you guys will win and win well.
Bombers by 24+.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Jesus, have people been watching Carlton?

Simpson has been putrid this year. Lucas is probably our biggest inclusion this week.

 

[sneakyjetta]

I remember thinking last year (prior to round 3) that carltons "run" and "speed" will destroy us, but that game proved that no matter how many outside or fast players you have you must win the inside game first. Simple. Do that tonight - we win the game.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

My tip

Close game but carlton's spread and small forwards will be too much for us
blues by 15

hope im wrong though

haha sneaky is a troll I believe?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

I sincerely hope so, because the alternative is scary.

 

[Rack Watts]

So, what's the gameplan?
Chip it about in the wet, then kicking it into Davey's head?

Drop all of our slow players back? I'd say a backline consisting of the following would be great against Yarran, Betts and Garlett:

Baguley, Hooker, Hurley
Heppell, Myers, Goddard

Also, Zaharakis, Winderlich, Hibberd and Carlisle should start on the bench, with Watson as a sub.

Our form at the g has been outstanding.

Carlton can't say the same.

With the exception of Hooker starting in the ruck (I'd put Hurley FB, probably Stanton in a pocket) and as long as you're assuming Davey is CHF then I'd say you're somewhere close to the mark.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Rob Walls has cursed us, as per usual.

Good luck fellas, I hope we smash you

No injuries, no suspensions

 

[Rack Watts]

With the exception of Hooker starting in the ruck

I thought Kommer was our Ruck?

 

[vaughany]

Davey and Winderlich to share the ruck duties

 

[vaughany]

Can we bring the start time forward to 6pm tonight? Thanks

We have a clash Nadal v Djokovic play @ 9pm!

 

[Shatterpoint]

Guys get ready for at least 3 late changes for the Blues, Waite is under a serious cloud as well, took a knock to the knee last week and I can almost guarantee that Walker won't be playing tonight either, Murphy is another one who has been carrying a injury for the last 3 weeks.

Joe Daniher is playing. There is no clash.

 

[Maddogm]

All the kicking high ball to Davey this year has just been preparation for Joe's debut. Froggy is Derp's designated launching point

 

[sneakyjetta]

Hooker has had finals ruck experience......

 

[vaughany]

Haha nothing comes between the watching the Derp!

No injuries, no suspensions indeed. Hope we're the ones dishing out the smashing but.

 

[vaughany]

Hooker has had finals ruck experience......

with fantastic backup from NLM in those dark days we like to call "Matthew Knights we will forget about era"

 

[vaughany]

No injuries, no suspensions indeed. Hope we're the ones dishing out the smashing but.

The only clash tonight is Hurley's foot..... rolling on an opponents foot when he lands.
