Preview Rnd 10 - Carlton v North Sunday 28th May 3.20PM @ Etihad - Final Team post #608

[HyphensBack]

Anybody else worried the Dockers couldn't fire a shot today after last weeks game in the wet.

Could be a bad sign.

Fremantle game & Blues game

6 day break - 7 day break
Adelaide - Nth Melbourne
No Sandilands - our outs also missed the Freo game

Still not convinced we are going to win. Not sure we have it quite right up forward, concerned we are lacking a lock down small back and that Cripps is running on 3 of 8 cylinders.

Oh well - Carn the Blues!

We have the worst forward line in the bloody comp.

70 points a game ........

It is a bit curious that we needed Weitering to play forward but now he's gone we don't need a KPF to help Caz and Charlie.

We did name White and Phillips in an extended squad, so going tall was considered.

But at the end of the day they went the extra teenager.

 

[HARKER]

Cautious approach......?

Cautious of what though?
Taken to Perth last week whilst not an emergency, not playing anywhere this week and won't be playing next week because of the bye.

Strange tale.

 

[Smalls0304]

GAME DAY BABY!! Up the baggers!!

 

[HBF]

Pickett not playing in the practice match this week after not playing any game last week.....Odd.

That is strange.

 

[Smegger]

Not enough love for that post Azul. Albert King, the legendary Lefty. Have a CD & DVD they did together.

Anyone at Arden Street?

Kerridge?

 

[HalAlaric]

Qtr time - Werribee 26 to NB 14

 

[HalAlaric]

GOALS: Gallucci, Kerridge. DISPOSALS: Kerridge 10, Boekhorst 9, Jaksch 6, Sheehan 6, Stevens 5, Declase 5.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Anyone got eyeballs on the actual game?

Can someone explain why Boekhorst who was the traveling emergency last week didn't even get on the emergency list this week? Seems odd to me. Been playing well in the twos and if the MC are serious about rewarding performance he should have been in this week before Sumner.

 

[inyourcool]

And no Pickett again???

Strange tale.

I guess he's fitness base is non-existent due to missing 2 years of footy

Maybe he's a little sore....could be the foot reacting to the the stresses of the season.

 

[Aphrodite]

Game day bitches!

 

[BLUE_BALLS95]

I hope Pickett is being managed - he is about as quick a player as we've seen - rather rest him and get years out of him than blow him up in his first year.

Gotta feel for the Beast - looked a great matchup for Waite.

SPS and Fisher need to be given licence to run and carry - swapping half forward and wing - just run boys !!

Kruezer to clean up Goldy and Levi to kick 5 .. Blues by 7.

 

[HARKER]

Some big numbers there, for Boekhorst in particular.

 

[bluemahogany]

McKay must have a had a big quarter, his second quarter last week was very good too, hopefully he maintains it for the rest of the game.

Brought him along for a trip home?

 

[No1Suspect]

I want nothing more than the see Scott Thompson get flattened today.

We should have won that game against Dockers,we were the better team just no bite going forward,their form in Adelaide reflects that against the top team at the moment.

 

[GPW1]

Thoughts on the size of the crowd today? I've got general admission tickets and wondering how early to turn up.

I think we have a better shot at North today than at any stage over the past few years.why?
-they are missing a few,we are ok
-we are coming off a few games we should have/could have won
-this is a new era for us coming and we are getting glimpses of that already,north are going other way.
-we will negate Waite...and then Brown if required to win...no run form them forward today

HOW DO WE KICK GOALS?-good question
looks like Weitering back at HB probably on MR WAITE.so we have to rely on Wright,Jack,Cas,Sumner and co plus our mids to save us[Samo,Murph,Crippa]
