Preview RND 1 - Carlton v Richmond Thursday 19th March 7.40pm (EST) @ MCG

[murphster]

We are not lacking for age and experience for this game. It will come down to skill, fitness and coaching. No excuses really.

First time in a while we have gone in to a rd1 game with only one teenager, good signs.

I assume many would think we won't kick many goals tonight.

But for the few that we do kick, what are the celebrations gonna be?

Is everyone going to adopt Dre's E.T. finger touch?

The hardest adjustment is going to be watching it on TV.

90% of all games iv'e watched over the past 30 years have been live and I like watching the play unfold. Now I have to listen to commentators and stupid camera angles that don't show me who they are kicking to most the time.

I'm trying to psych myself up for this game.

Help please.

Prediction: Jack Martin to have his own Jeffy/Yarran goal moment, where Bruce puts down his glasses and calls it home.

They're to good to hear on the tv

I'm hoping Murph will flip the bird to the empty grandstand.

Hoping to avoid having to buy one (or a chromecast). Might end up doing a last minute run to JB

Big fan of the chromecast. Highly recommend.

Wasn't working for live Marsh series. Hope I'm wrong.

Chrome via your computer will cast the tab or entire browser. If Foxtel Go --> Live --> Sports is showing...you can cast it. Good luck!

Probably will do some stupid things like that, then go and tackle the next bloke who has the ball.......

It will be really interesting how the mentalitiy of the game goes with no-one there - more floggings as teams just drop their head or is it going to be less floggings as teams winning dont continue to go hard without the adrenaline/momentum created by the crowd. There will be games that are clearly over early and just goes into practice match mode i reckon.

One things for sure getting off to a good start this year is very important ... can easily see teams putting the cue in the rack if they are 0 and 3 etc ...

But who’s going to boo the umpires ffs.

'we have another player who got the virus, we cant play this week....'

 

[Cliffords Blues]

looking very much for tonight's match.
lets see what we have improved on and stick it up the doubters
Its time to shine boys.

 

[Coops93]

i thought the Demons were the no crowd specialists?

I'd have said Port Power would've been. Though maybe they counted the tarps as tickets sold so it never was official?

 

[Coops93]

I'm a little disappointed that the return of Doc hasn't really received much media attention. I know there's some other thing that's taken all the attention (can't remember what that is right now.. something about a Mexican beer?), but a mention here or there would've been nice. Perhaps he'll get a little pump up on the pre-game broadcast tonight..

Richmond rarely lose at the MCG, and we simply don't have the tools yet to trouble them.

I can think of one massive tool we have .......

 

[Aphrodite]

Confirmed runner rules for H&A season in effect from tonight: -
- Runners allowed on ground 2x90 secs per quarter
- Allowed after each goal as per 2019
- No runners in final 3mins, except post-goals

 

[BIuebagger]

Popped out of work quickly today and instead of building excitement around the season opener and first round after much deliberation, SEN were in robust discussion about rule changes instead and basically saying these will stay. Did the same yesterday. Imagine having the opening game on after 6 months off and still needing to push an agenda and sensationalise things. Switched it off pretty quickly.
Anyway..... Cmon boyssssss

FWIW I live about 3 hours south west of the MCG and has just started raining.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Hopeful not optimistic. Can see us being competitive for periods of time but Tigers depth and experience being overwhelming, bit like life at the moment!
We will need multiple avenues to goal to fire, the defensive end to be staunch especially on Lynch and ALL miss to fire. Looking for Cunners, Paddy or another lesser light to break out.
I'll still be cheering and hoping!

 

[mjonc43]

We are fit, Barrass70 said so! No cause for concern we will eat these tiges!!
Carn the baggers

20mins quarters will see us super fit! We can win now.
