Carlton on the road have been shocking, here we go again. A chance to get a little breathing space against an out of form Adelaide. Can we do it? Or will it be the usual story for Carlton once again. We seem to always underestimate teams, and they tend to come out and smash us. We really need to start getting a few wins in a row if we want to make finals, and keep ahead of the chasing pack. We have a shocking record in Adelaide and we need to change it today.
 
We need to win this...we pushed them very close last year, and should have won but gave away a few goals to let them get up.

Blues by 12 points.

Problem is Harker that so far this year, we have gone to pieces in games like this. The big problem is that we seem to have no answer to the zone/flood. That's why Andy Walker is a big loss for us, he is the type of player who can run the lines and break up the zones, hence freeing up other players at the same time.

I would love to see Kruz start in the goal square. The thing with Kruz is that he is a 3 in one player, he can take a big grab, is awesome below his knees, he is quick and he gives you a lot of pressure around the ball.
 
Hope to see a big effort today....just put my gibbs guernsey on and im getting pretty excited.

Hopefully we can finally beat the crows
 
Crow are coming off 3 losses. They haven't won a game at AAMI. We are their bunnies.

The odds are heavily stacked against us. Boys will have to really dig deep to get the 4 points today.
 
we will know in the first two minutes if the team is flat or ready to play. Pretty much determines the day.Lets go!
 
Like guns said the first few minutes will tell us our destiny today. If we are flat and not going in hard it's all over for us.
 
Scotty is a very important player for us and will be a big loss today.

Maybe he isn't fully right from the big hit last week?

We'll lose a fair bit of run out of the backline but hopefully some of the younger guys like AJ and Browney can step up and cover for him.

Having said that, Wiggo is a good inclusion as he gives us a bit of extra structure and toughness around the half forward line.

Go Blues.

You would have thought that the Carlton docs knew at least a few days ago that Scotland would be in doubt and fly Houlihan up to Adelaide just in case he didn't come up. Wiggins.. I don't know.. He's last 2 games for us were well below par so would have preffered Houla's run off the half back line to replace Scotto.
Anyway the decison has been made so good luck to Wiggo and hope he plays a blinder.
 
We will miss Scotty today.

Can only assume he didnt pull up well after the heavy knock he copped against the Pies.

Big loss. :(

Cmon Blues lets get the win and GTFO of Dodge. :thumbsu:
 
Tell me, what times does this game start Vic time ?
Is it 2:40 pm or 3:10 pm ? i'm getting confusing info here ...

Would appreciate it, so I can get to the pub in time to watch it .. (why this game isn't on FTA instead of Freo and Bore Melbourne I'll never know)
 
3pm start, big loss Scotland but he was never going to play after what happened to him last week.

If Houlihan is fit and we've played Wiggins ahead of him then this could be a major selection blunder.

Before we start talking about Blunders Houla may not of travelled with the team to S.A....
 
Well it's too late to complain now. Lets just hope Wiggo has his kicking boots on. We really need him to stand up for us, if we are ever going to be a finals contender it's games like these we need to win and put a stamp on. We have sadly this year not done it.

I think we rallied against Brisbane earlier this year, after we jumped em and they started coming back at us, do agree we need this win. could be third after this week which would be nice
