What a ride this season has been for us, I know largely disappointing. However the best is yet to come I believe. Today should be a resounding victory for us, the players should have a little extra motivation knowing they are playing the Dorks. Time to start evening up the ledger against them and I will not be happy with a narrow victory either, we really should be beating this rabble by 5 goals plus.
Hoping that all our player's get through unscathed today, (Cuners going down last week may have affected us more than we thought). Would love to see Stocks have a good one in the midfield, he is building nicely and he does posses a bit of mongrel. Jack kicking straight and making the most of his opportunities would be good to see. Matty Cottrell needs a good game, he is certainly covering the ground, just needs to pick up a few more possies and use it well. Be nice to see Zac have some impact off halfback and create some plays with dare and dash. Blues by 31.

Agree he shouldn't have posted that...
But, Geez the world is so precious now, the post wasn't racist or sexist (unless he identifies as a potato)..

Also anyone that hasn't thought, FFS Plowman or towards any other player.. Would be absolutely lying...

Nah that rubbish is not on.

Maybe I'm showing my age but for me if you wear a navy jumper then you have my support. And if you manage 100 games for us then that should be celebrated.

Great stuff fish! Abuse directed at players on social media is gross.

Well done to Plow. Plays his role every week.

Edit: that was on the Carlton instagram post about plows 100th.

Help an old guy out. What does 3 potatoes mean? I figure it must be an insult but you're “3 potatoes” is... well I don’t know...

Whether it's one potato or three potatoes, it's saying the person is a "spud" which is another way of saying the player is a dud.

Insinuating that he is a spud, or three spuds. Highly offensive apparently.

Gee, not nice but getting sensitive are we not? If that’s the worst they’ve got... my so called mates call me worse on a golf course every time we play, oh but to be called a spud! And or do as I do and avoid social media.

it’s good that the boys band together. Agree it’s not the worst thing said but it was not an aggressive reaction either. Keep the “spud” calls to places like BF where hopefully the players do not venture to.

We might get a taste of honey today.

 

[Santo the king]

Wrapped to see the king return.
Hoping Silvagni can sort out his goal kicking as he and the team really need reward for effort.

Its good to be the king.
..ok maybe i have gone a little early with that

Ooh a rumour
Hope you’re right.

Now that would be a sweet surprise

 

[Love the Drake]

Is that for real ? Has it actually ever happened ? Very rare anyway . Sometimes get the feeling they would actually be better off kicking daisy cutters into the forward 50 .

Ha! I left the NOT out..absolute reverse of what I was trying to say. What I menat to say was that I cannot believe the coaches wouldn't insist that players lower their eyes. We are the worst in the league for bombing it long to a 1 on 2 or outnumbered contest.

 

[skadoosh]

Pretty sure the Hawks have used Howe to tag Cripps the last few outings...to pretty good effect too.
Keen to see how Cripps goes today with Howe not playing. Not to mention TDK and JSOS being huge ins.

 

[Arr0w]

Clear the 50, let H have his way with Hartigan

Play in front H and you could kick a massive bag

yeah specially with tdk now in the side. On a side note the games we won this year i dont think cripps dominated.

now that teams are announced thurs nights ..what changes can they make before game?

 

[BeligerentBlue]

If we lose this, can you imagine the sort of mostly peaceful demonstrations that will go on here?

looked through hawks previous matches this year and big fwds have struggled against them.

Really surprised me.

Frost does a great job 3rd man up, that's why we need better isolation

Don't let them have an easy time with the +1

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Blues by 14 points
If we lose...it is only a question of when not if Teague's Carlton senior coaching career ends

Quite cruel really if the club promised 300 games to a player, then that brings about Teague's downfall.
Deeply concerned about this game.
