Unofficial Preview Richmond vs Carlspoon

[Charlie Pannam]

We have been recruiting the fastest amd fitest players for some time now. I have honestly never seen a team do it for as long as we can.

Yep and hats off to our fitness team. Hardly had an injury last year and the ability to apply the amount of defensive pressure over such a long period shows what a fit team we are. I remember supporters being really disappointed when we missed out on the fitness guru that’s currently at Port but looking at the situation now it seems we made the right call

B:Grimes(Hammy),Astbury(Stingray),Vlas.
HB:Houli,Rance(Bible Bashed),BEllis.
C:Grigg,Cotch(Calf),McIntosh.
HF:Edwards,Townend(White line fever),Rioli(Magic).
F:George(fumbleitis),JR(Strained Vocal cords),Lambert.
R:Nank(Tank marks),Dusty(Clean skin spot),Prestia(Pre-seasonitis)
IC:Jack(Graham that is),Caddy,Broad(Boob job),Butler.

[Tony Harrison]

What's the record attendance for a Thursday night?
Surely we'll knock that one off.

I’m going to put it out there, we will get 95k plus to this game.

Carlton have had an impressive pre-season which means their fans will be optimistic this year.

I’d rather the season start sooner rather than later.

We are in trouble, they've got Dusty sorted.

"Dusty will fend off if he feels threatened by a tackler. We need to learn to brush the fend off aside before going in for the tackle. If necessary, get in a martial arts expert to teach the boys the necessary skill of pushing aside the outstretched arm. A couple of hours training two weeks in a row should be enough to help deal with that shit before round one."

Deary, deary me

These genius opposition supporters should start a think tank called “ideas to stop Dusty”. There have been some classics and this one is right up there. Martial arts expert, gee whiz. My personal fav was from a Norf supporter who suggested to duck so the fend off hit their face, resulting in a high free kick. Can you believe grown men come up with this kind of stuff? Scary.

 

[mopsy]

He has grown a bit since i seen him play last, I suppose there could still be a bit of growth left in people when they are 33 years old

wow talk about obsessive. And whoopee doo, so i made a typo and guess whos scouring my posts looking for the smallest mistakes. .Time and time again you show you just cant leave things alone even after we have both been warned by the mods on several occasions. Being obsessive is not healthy mate.

 

[Shazza_]

haha now the spooners are saying that dusty’s dont argue should be banned

 

[mopsy]

reckon their back half is decent especially if Docherty was fit.Jones at f/b had a very good yr last yr who would have thought it. Weitering is still only 20 and learning the caper shows all the signs he will be a top shelf defender Plowman is a decent third tall type and Marchbank has also shown good signs but is only 20 with just 23 games behind him. Docherty is one of the premier sml/med defenders in the comp and simpson has been a very good player for a long time.
Last one is williamson who showed a bit of promise last yr.
Look i know its Carlton and as a tiger supporters i hate em with a vengeance but they do have some good positives going fwd.

Personally i think age and experience a big problem for them atm, in just about every part of the ground.
They only have the one 100plus gamer down back in simpson, Docherty would have been next at 24yrs and 90 odd games.Jones if he plays in front of Marchbank fits the bill for age and experience.

They have about 6 mids who look likely to be regulars this yr who are aged 21 or less with less than 20 games to their names.Dow, Kennedy, Obrien, Cunningham, Fisher, Petrevski-Seton.
Theres three good mids imo with Murphy, Cripps, and Curnow. A few foot soldiers Kerridge , Graham then the juniors.
They have a very good ruckman in Kruezer.Its here where they are very vulnerableLose their better mids to injury and it is down to a bunch of kids.

Up fwd theres only really Wright and Casboult with age and experience, Silvagni Curnow McKay, Pickett, Garlett would be lucky to have 70 80 games between them.

There is potential there but its still mostly in early development imo.
