Richmond vs Carlton round 1

[BlueMania]

Being the 1st game of the season should see all 16 clubs make a good account of themselves . with all the hard work put in place over the summer months , all teams will be pumped and ready to go and not 1 team will lack intensity . I pick Carlton to beat the tiges by 4-6 goals and wouldn't expect to see any blowout margins in round 1.

i think your getting way to ahead of yourself. Do you honestly think that your team will be 7 - 8 goals better than ours? Considering we had a close game last year, and both our lists have improved equally, do u think that your saviour judd will really have the impact of 5 goals. Remembering that the ruck supply will be poor and there are doubts over him with regards to that groin of his...............

You gotta love RFC fans.

The same thread was started on the RFC board about 3 months ago and its now up to over 1000 posts.....

Now as for Tiger bait.....'both our lists have improved equally'

OK...during trade week we got
- Judd and Hadley, 2 premiership players, & 1 the best player in the comp
- RFC got McMahon & Morton, McMahon struggled for a game in 2007, and Morton struggled to get a game for 3 years and is always injured
- Is that equal, i'm not good a maths

We got Kruezer, the standout in the TAC cup and you got Cotchin.
- This almost equal, Carlton still takes the points, plus Cotchin is currently recovering from a broken ankle.....

- Let me add in a fit Stevens

Carlton IMO is a 5-6 goal better team that RFC, even before trade week i felt that....the fact remains you couldn't beat us in round 1, 2007 and with our offseason success why would you be any closer??

There are no concerns with Judd's groin, that is just opposition talk, actually its fear....that he might actually be free of the problem....

And the ruck supply, you had the same rucks in 2007 and couldn't beat Carlton, we will add in another new ruckman and we'll see who has the poor supply...a good centreman will always rove off an opposition ruckman anyway...i'm sure Stevens, Judd, Murph, Carrazzo, Bentick, Simpson won't have a problem come March 20

Lights out....Carlton by 43 points, tribute to Kouta!!

Well said BH , thats why we picked up Greg Williams seeing as how he always roved Harry so well beforehand !

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

DAM I AM SO PISSED. I wanted to get a seat in a box for this match but i rang up the seating advisers and some old senile man told me that richmond were in the box seats.
HEHHEHEHEH

Classic.

M. Coghlan might even up Stevos return should he play (MC) and should he stay upright.

Would everyone agree with me if I were to say that in all rights, we should win this game?

With respect big fella, trying to summarize a BF thread is a bit like putting Humpty Dumpty back together or guessing how many holes there are in a crumpet (A - 112).

The whole point of the exercise is to throw different ideas and comments out there. Sure we all think we'll win (don't we?) but it's the reasons why that make for interesting reading and entertaining reactions.

There ends tonight's Tutorial BF Posting 101!

Riiiighty who, it may not be a drug of any sort, but jesus being tired messes with my head! So what else better to do whilst half asleep than write a battle plan for a good old slug fest against the pansies on Punt Road!

Okay, now, I think that if we are going to milk this game for all possible benefits, then we have to catch the bastards off guard and get out of out comfort zone and start playing a whole load of risky possessions. Hey, it's not like we can't afford to! We have the skill in our midfield to piss fart around with the other guys sharing the field with us. No set plays, no targets, just good old fashion handballing through the joke a midfield that Richmond posts, the type of play that bamboozled the scum and Essendone, back in '68, '70 and '72.

Now I may only be a young fella', but that doesn't mean I don't know shit about the old days, the days where we won premierships left and right, the days where Vinny got the ball from the 'Froth of SOS', Vin goes for a run, cutting across the edge of the centre square, slick hands off to Crosswell, to Gallagher, back to Crosswell, lovely sheppard from the big man John Nicholls, captain, coach, what bloody ever else there is to get, handed off to Goold whose pushing forward, given off to Nicholls who catches everyone off guard and bombs one inside 50 for a bloody stunner of a leap by Jezza!

Bloody do the name changing, and what have ya' got? You've got Waite owning Richardson like the ball of butter her is, Bower running the ball through the corner of the centre square, dishes the ball to Carrazzo, to Murphy, back to Carrazzo, racking up possessions, a booooooooomer of a shepperd by Big Setanta! Carrazzo gives it over to Judd on the run from the wing who delivers a magnificent delivery, right onto the chest of the Big Fev.

That's never gonna' happen if we play this wannabe backyard pro bullshit you see that the Saints have been progressing on in the last god knows how long since they won a premiership. I say we start off as though we aren't a new age team, just a bunch of guys having fun on the field, and spanking some Richmond arse in the process or re-claiming the spot on top of the ladder that we've established over the vacinity of the Carlton Football Club.

Any troll wanna' come onto the board and say how badder team Carlton are, "aah yeah, Carltank, look at me, I can mix two words together, you won some spoons, let's make soup, maybe someone will laugh at my jokes that i'm only a few years behind on" can seriously go and remove their heads from their rectal passages, or put them up there. Although, I suppose they had better not. They're already full of s*** as it is.

Come the first bounce of the 2008 season, I want to see us run that good thing, and don't stop running. None of this 'bomb long, all hope, that didn't work, maybe if we conjure up a smart plan for next time,' Pagan strategy crap. From the first bounce, it will be the time in which we can remember Carlton made their incline adventure up the old rickety ladder.

Doesn't matter whose got captaincy, doesn't matter that we've played shit footy for the last 5 years. All that matters is bloody, Kreuzer, Murphy, Judd, Simpson, so on and so forth. Even those names are enough to send a guy through a few tissue boxes.

I told ya' lack of sleep does s*** to me, but I havn't said anything that the truest of Carlton supporters aren't already awaiting. Hope you don't mind me throwing my different ideas and comments out there thylacine, you cheeky devil. Now, goodnight!

We are Carlton, F*** the rest!

 

[iRemember87]

M. Coghlan might even up Stevos return should he play (MC) and should he stay upright.

In the past i would have said yes, Coughlan has been good against Carlton and against Stevens, but he (MC) won't have the same impact first up after 2 knee reco's.

Without wanting to underrate players, MC is one player we won't need to watch that carefully come round 1.

 

[bigrayohall20]

Geelong lost to the Dogs and the Crows lost to Essendon in round one last year, so feel free to pump up your side if you win this vital game against the fifteenth placed side. The Tigers have always been March champions before they crashed and burn when the ladder starts righting itself.

Better than been Febuary champions like Carlton always are.

 

[bigrayohall20]

I am so pumped - cant wait to sti it up tigers asses
they are soo cockey

And you guys aren't?? Listen to nearly ever Carlton supporter on here. 'We'll win because of this and that. Because we have Judd. because we have Kruezer etc.'
'We will win by 7/8 goals, we will win by 100 points.

Now thats what you call cocky!

no that isnt cocky!! thats being realistic!

you have your version, we have the truth!!!

Really, i'd take winning $250,000 than being March champions....

You must be a dumbass mate. I wont even try explaining to you. I'll just confuse you even more.

No, not really. It's based on an objective assessment of the capabilities of the Tiges list, which, lets be honest, is a complete and utter disaster. A 60 to 110 pip win by the Blues is a realistic margin. 30 to 60 win by the Blues, is a pessimistic prediction. And a 110 to 160 point win while possible, is a but optimistic, as goal kicking accuracy will be a little rusty early on.

A 500 word essay, and School hasn't even started yet

All this shit about "our lists are equal" is some bullshit that this bloke wanted to say to stir us up, or he really is truly delusional.

The fact that, yes, they have some good players that will come through soon, doesn't point away from the fact that our list, is far superior at this point it time. They might challennge us in 2009 or 2010, but this year, no doubt, we have the diamonds on this battle.

In the words of the great...me: "We are Carlton, **** Richmond".

 

[walshy93]

No, no, try us...this would be very interesting, what was said was completely true! We have a reason to be cocky!

fantastic comeback!!! did u make that up yourself?

wining is the least of your worries mate, i'd be more worried about which way your skipper is kicking the ball at the first bounce .

 

[Ancient Tiger]

A fit Nathan Brown and Troy Simmonds as well as Mark Coughlan does improve our list a little. I still expect your team to win. I think you are a little ahead in your rebuilding than we are. A fit Judd alone has seen to that.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Don't know about you guys, but i am absolutely pumped about this round 1 game. I think i may be a lot closer than expected, with some good footy to be on show, just remind ur players to bring their game, because I want no excuses when we prevail..............

We haven't seen too many close Blues/Tiger games for a while. Richmond pumped us by 15 goals in the equivalent game two years ago, then we pumped them last year. They've all been blow-outs lately, and I don't expect this one will be different.

Richmond will be better, and so will we. I think we'll be a lot better, but it's not about round one. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

NAB Cup form will be the best indicator of who's switched on for round 1. From all reports we're not taking it seriously and instead we're concentrating on the season proper. I haven't heard what Richmond's plans are for the NAB are, but I wouldn't be surprised if they took it very seriously and were in peak form for round 1.

If they do I expect we'll get rolled.

 

[bigrayohall20]

No, no, try us...this would be very interesting, what was said was completely true! We have a reason to be cocky!

You dont have the truth unless u beat us round 1. Altough you guys say you have the better list and that you will smash us you know it all means nothing until that game.
And if you do beat us then good on ya's.

 

[bigrayohall20]

fantastic comeback!!! did u make that up yourself?

Actually your mum helped me with that one.

Old news Kouta. We're all use to that one by now. Its been around for 12 months.
