Preview Rd 22 - Carlton v St Kilda Sat 17th Aug 1.45pm @ MCG - Team Post #237

[FRUMPY]

I want to see 2 of Cripps, murphy, Curnow in the centre bounces with Walsh, Dow, Setterfield, SPS, Kennedy as the 3rd mid rotation. Looking at some stats posted by a bombers supporter (I think), it's basically Cripps, Murphy, Curnow and Walsh. Need to develop the other guys as well.

Dow needs to play 5 mins each qtr on the ball and the rest as a floating fwd. No point playing him and not exposing him to any centre work.

LOB needs to run the wings as he has been but involve himself more.

Fisher just needs to run and work harder and involve himself more.

Yep.

A look at Crippa's first 100 games compared to some of the greats in the modern era.

 

[Garters]

I didnt, I’m sick and bloody tired of losing to them. They most certainly have the wood on us much like norp and GWS

I want to win this one almost as much as I wanted to beat the Cows

I said almost

I think we’ve picked the best possible side to win.

Happy that Dow and Kennedy are in

Levi would have to go back you’d think

I might be in the minority but im glad Deluca held his spot. I think he has a decent role to play moving forward under Teague

Really want Kennedy to grab a game by the scruff of the neck. Love to see him kick a bag. Hope Dow has a good one also.

Really need to win this. Got them at the G For first time in ages. Would be disappointed if we lose. Fans need to turn out in forse for last home game of the year.

Hot Topic - Carlton Replay Centre 2002-2016

The last time i did this some of the links were mislabeled and it was 2013. Ive decided to do an all new, all improved Replay facility. Some of this is made possible by @Zeefc and slashin_velvet in the game replay links thread in the Blueroom. Pre 2002 Pre 2002 Youtube Links Finals 1909...

Blues vs Melbourne Round 4 (2014)

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’ve been doing some calculations and a 1976-1977 type win against the Saints would be appreciated.

Round 19 1976. 101 point victory. Kicked 12.6 in the last quarter.

Round 3 1977. 107 point victory. We just smashed them all day.

Those were the days.

 

[mediumsizered]

I'm thinking a repeat of Round 19, 1979 would be alright. Kept them goalless for the first 3 quarters & ended up winning by 104 points. Could have been even more damaging if Sheldon & Marcou had kicked 9.2 instead of 2.9 between them.

 

[thylacine60]

clearly they both saw the writing on the wall and went easy on their future club............

 

[windows1]

I think Weitering is good to take Membrey now. Jacob is in peak form and Membrey is most dangerous overhead.

Pull Levi back to go with Bruce. Gorilla vs gorilla.

Impossible to think that Plow is (a) trusted to and (b) actually does a solid job on Darling 2 weeks back but then isn’t trusted again on Membrey. He’s in good form Plow.

Certain to have first crack.

 

[Arr0w]

Bounce the ball ffs

 

[Love the Drake]

In the UK for the Ashes. Will be up at 4.45 am to supply the boys. Common fellas. Do it for Daisy, Teaguey and us!!

Bureau says no rain today.

Bureau says no rain today.

lets hope not although dry weather probably helps them just as much...really looking forward to a high quality game today...good opportunity to see how we're tracking seeing they've had the wood on us for a while.

 

[VeinGlorious]

Saturday arvo games though

 

[Accidental genius]

Saturday arvo games though

yeah cant beat that. sick of all the sundy games specially 4:30 time slots

 

[ESKIE]

Yes Blues...

Equally excited and nervous about today’s game tbh, which has the potential to be a real cracker imo, despite it having no bearing on the finals’ landscape. For our part, some major potential distractions to contend with this week, including Teaguey’s appointment and Daisy’s “retirement”, which could see our focus slip just a tad. If it does, then a reborn and hungry Saints outfit with an interim coach to play for could well pounce, especially seeing that Jones is added to our outs and we’ve struggled so badly against the Saints in recent years. Still, I’m happy with our ins and to be playing on the ‘G, and I’m backing us in to attack this challenge with everything we’ve got, firstly to underscore Teaguey’s appointment and the start of a genuine new era, and secondly to give Crippa and Daisy the team performance and result that they deserve in their 100th games. A professional and committed performance today, with 4 points to match, and next weekend we can head down the highway with a fearless attitude to take on the Cats, and to round out a rollercoaster of a season that should still end on a high. Go Blues!

 

[jezzajay]

Really keen for today’s game...but gotta gig for a food/wine fest... won’t be able to watch replay till about
11pm tonight...aaaghh.. hopefully it’s worth watching!!!
Go blues!!! Do it for Teagues, Cripps and Daisy...

 

[Bringbackeddie]

Actually a pressure game today (if there is such a thing for a team 16th on the ladder at this point in a season).

If we don’t show up to play and get flogged (...it has happened a few times before if my memory serves me correctly) it will be a new low point (Sunday paper headlines: ‘wheels fall off teague train’ ‘coniglio says carlton his 19th choice club’ ‘blues fans torch ikon park’ ‘Ratten dodges bluellit’

So yes, I am hopeful that we can manufacture a win today.

Go blues.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

There's some kind of bizarre irony in today's game....back in 2012 after he was sacked, Ratts coached his final game in that spiteful match against the Saints....now he's coaching the Saints.
And now Teague's first game as full time coach for us, coaching against Ratts.

Anyway, BH is heading up from Shark Bay to watch Daisy for the last time (won't be heading to Sleepy Hollow), and cheer the boys home.
Don't know what the weather is like up in the big smoke at the moment, but still pretty overcast down this way.

Not sure about anyone else but today’s game seems to have taken a back seat to everything else that’s gone on in the week.Hope it’s not a let down.
