News Preview: Fremantle v Carlton

[blue gunslinger]

wablues will do the club proud!
Have fun one and all

 

[serenityNow]

I really hope we win. But this is the type of game that we're prone to dropping.......Dockers have a good record against us of late and the fact that they havent won a game for quite a while worries me.

Big game....lose this and we're in trouble.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Carlton played Fremantle for the first time in 2005, in round 13 at Subiaco on a Sunday afternoon with the Blues winning by 57-points. By the end of the 2001 season the Blues and Dockers had played 10 games with Carlton winning eight and Fremantle two.

Like our record with most clubs since the end of the 2001 season, the win/loss ratio has taken a turn for the worse. The Dockers won nine consecutive games between 2002 and 2007 with the Blues winning the round nine match at The Dome last year.

Fremantle now holds a superior win/loss ratio over Carlton with 12 wins (including round 7 this year), while the Blues have won nine of the 21 matches played.

While the Dockers have won three more matches, Carlton has had 25 more scoring shots in total. However thanks to Fremantle’s greater accuracy the total scores in the 21 games are equal:
Carlton 300 goals 257 behinds 2,057 points
Fremantle 305 goals 227 behinds 2,057 points

At Subiaco the Dockers have won eight from 11 matches with Carlton’s last victory against Fremantle at Subiaco in round one, 2001; one-point victory in the season opener on a Friday night in Perth.

[blue gunslinger]

Our team is better on paper
Shame Browne got the wrong end of the Stick and cannot understand Hoops still in but OK lets go with that and WIN WIN WIN
Stevo & Scotland - house of mirrors

 

[Silvagnis]

Can't this go in the matchday threads?

There are just too many redundant threads on here.

A link and preview doesn't mean you have to start yet another thread when there's a pre-match discussion thread.

Where are the mods?

 

[Mister Carlton]

Where are the mods?

Sleeping.

 

[blue gunslinger]

its alpha's traditional pre-match that goes with the game day. Come on guys

 

[thylacine60]

If mighty GROOT got taken down pretty sure we must be a chance on Sunday.

 

[The Cranium]

A bit of kindling and a match would fix old Groot

 

[Beloved]

Clokey in.

The Cam is back!

 

[stakes12]

yaaaaay Russell is back in,awesome move Ratten

 

[Bluebear]

Clokey in.

The Cam is back!

On the extended bench EBIAC. I'd suggest he'll only play if Fev doesn't come up after his finger op.

 

[Shambolic]

Rumour is that Cloke is playing so he's made the cut.

Personally speaking his last game against Freo put me permanently off his bandwagon.
