I think mcveigh would tag nick stevens, watson in the midfield andhird will start the game in the forward line and move up the ground as the game goes on. Get ready for Fletcher to get around 25 posessions.

Poor Setanta looks like he's going to have a long, long day.

Whittnall on Lucas
Sentanta on Lloyd

"Its no longer pre-season cup. Prepare to have your ass handed to you."

It will be nice to see all of the Carlton faithful who splurted their crap in the AFL thread after the first pre-season game have to eat their words. It was LLloyds first game back, of course he was going to be rusty.

Setanta, be prepared.

Whittnall on Lucas

Doubt Lance will play on Lucas. Probably will go to Waite.

And if Sentanta is getting stitched up by Lloyd, move Thornton on him. It is all gonna depend on the midfield anyway, I expect a good showing from your forward line regardless. In particular, I expect a good showing from Fev. He's gonna want blood after last week.

Will be a good match, as usual.

....and llyod has been in such awesome form as well.

Like 2 goals, seventeen or so disposals against Ben Rutten. His form is alright although I still feel like he is still a bit underdone.

 

[Smyth94]

Lloyd has been solid without being spectacular... If he can still kick a lazy 4 goals a game while Scotty is ripping it up then I would be a very happy man

You make me laugh.............I really hope for your sake that Lloyd is switched on.........

Yeah its not everday that you can see a full-forward kick 10+. Even if he's playing with in himself, i'd expect him to kick 5+ on Sentanta.

Fabulous news - Stevens will surely get 35 possessions then

Is that like when Matty only stages for free kicks sometimes?

wow, you obvioulsy haven't watched us yet, carry on

Absolutly right. McVeigh cut Peter Bell to pieces last week. I would say he was close to best on ground. Kicked 2 great goals in the first quarter as well.
He could really hurt Stevo & Carlton on the rebound.

Bell was Freos best in the first half, had 22 touches and kicked a goal. at 32 you wouldn't expect Bell to be dominating these days.

True. But McVeigh was very good at I thought that his disposal hurt Freo more than Bell's hurt Essendon.

I'm not the one getting ahead of myself.....McVeigh is nowehere near the class of Stevens. Who played on him in the NAB cup game earlier this year?

 

[hulld]

you're not the one getting ahead of yourself???

carlton were going to make the eight weren't they after they won the all important NAB cup?

 

[DaSawx]

You're showing yourself up again, yes Stevens is a very good player but so is McVeigh who has started the year extremely well, he's been a major factor in both wins

Bell had an excellent first quarter and was shut down for most of the game after that, McVeigh also kicked a goal himslef in the first quarter and applied much pressure through out the game, I'd suggest to Carlton fans to watch some games before making unfounded comments.

Not sure what his age has to do with anything, apparently on Big Footy footy players die on their 30th birthday.

 

[hulld]

didn't mcveigh kick two goals in the first quarter???

 

[jack_mack50]

i thought McVeigh kicked 2 in the 1st as well. Oh well i would think Waite to take Lucas, pity it's not Lance though, Scotty would've done enough to assure him the coleman at round 3

 

[mathew ollaik]

didn't mcveigh kick two goals in the first quarter???

yeh he did.

 

[mathew ollaik]

The only reason carlton won last time was because Fletcher and Lloyd were out. Plus Joel (******) Renalds played on fevola!!!!

 

[monty1104]

Actually Bell had 20 possies. Only 8 of those were after McVeigh got moved to him.
