Win tonight and we have North in a fortnight, Freo then Crows at Marvel. That's April 18

All these are very winnable and that's another 5 weeks of fitness and recovery for any players with still 18 rounds to go. It's a long year. I am in no rush to see Weitering Walsh Martin Marchbank Motlop E.Hollands until they are 100% ready. I like that the club now takes it's time and trusts the process and full fitness over a desperation to get a player in

If we can be 5-0 with players still coming back fully fit and getting games into others we are in a great spot

Richmond are one Charlie blitz away from destruction tonight

 

[HaydossJ]

Just win

4. Points. Please. And. No. Injuries.


That is all.



Now bounce the Ump ffs!

I usually get inside my own head as a football watcher, and I get incredibly nervous leading into games. However, I haven't had a single nerve about tonight. I just know that if we "play our way" (to use a cliche), Richmond won't get near us in the end. I see this going the same way as most Carlton-Richmond games recently have gone - a tough contest for the first half, and a blowout in the second half. A comfortable 5-6 goal win is what i predict. Harry and Charlie kick 10 between them, and Cripps has another BOG performance

Last week will count for nothing if we don't win here.

4 points is ours for the taking Baggers.

Last game counts for 4 points win, lose or draw tonight .

I was waiting for someone to say this so I could disagree but JAB beat me to it.

i remember sitting front row of the second tier at docklands, we kicked the first few then stunk for the rest of the game, one of his shots went through post height then hit my mother in the head.

not one of our great games under teagueball (2018)

I think Sam Rowe escorted Lynch to the ball most of the night.

Just a brilliant win last week but this game still feels like the real start to the season. Weird, ‘cause I’m not even in Melbourne.

Hope Durdin smashes it. Genuine opportunity for the team to set up the first third of the season and for a few players to stake their claims.

 

[Blue Reaper]

As always at this time of year, fond reminiscences of Parrot.

 

[BlueZombie]

I'd like to see someone show the ball to Bolton as they run into to score a goal...

Wouldn't we all brother!

Hard to believe when you don't watch Carlton?

I watch, not examine or spend/waste precious time going through stats after the
game is all... so yes, I find it
hard to believe looking back to last years campaign.
A pissing contest of who can memorise the most football
statistics seems to be a big deal to you... you win, congrats you waste more of your time on activities that bear no fruit than I do.

As opposed to making unfounded claims

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Stig, just curious, do you eat your culinary delights during the game? I for one can’t eat during a match!

Eat??? * I can barely breathe during a game. We could be 7 goals up with two minutes left and I'd still be nervous.

Just acknowledge you misremembered - no one actually cares that much.

It's an internet forum - chill

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Reading the Richmond game board - it’s a larf.

Richmond fans = Lollingwood fans, with a sense of humour. Their premiership hubris has washed away.

They are toothless & fancy free.

I want to win well tonight - but I bloody want to smash Lollingwoods face in.

Does this reflect badly on me?

Just an ability to use the internet for research. But enjoy your rant.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

So who gets Lynch….Young??

Would assume McG will float as an intercept.
