Preview Rnd 12 - Carlton v Fremantle Sat 15th Aug 8.10PM AEST @ Optus Stadium

[HBF]

Yeah correct. Hopefully that puts to bed any talk of a late withdrawal.

Bring Dow in next week against GC.

 

[The Bighouse]

They basically said he was safe till season end and sacked him mid season. Why commit to a position to backflip months later?

Re-hashing old ground but the players looked like they’d spoken. Efforts were putrid & Essendon game the icing.
Weiters was talking up the last 18 months on his re-signing. The tribe is happy now.

Bring Dow in next week against GC.

Another “strong” performance today, so
hopefully.

Again don't disagree. But the issues with our board and the power brokers haven't gone away and likely never will.

 

[BlueView]

BOM still saying there’s going to be thunderstorms tonight in Perth. Fremantle kicked a grand total of 16 points last time it pissed down.

16 points!

 

[NavySteel]

Was feeling flat about this week.

Now just watched Teague’s pre-game presser.

feeling more confident now. He was pretty direct about going out to win and if we play our way we will win.

loved it.

feeling we might be switched on tonight.

Probably weren't expecting him to go off the rails and lose the players?

 

[Revenant1965]

Bit of a personal reflection.... Am hoping for a win but not confident. The way we played in the Hawthorn game knocked me... Our best this year is good enough to take on anyone... And the strange thing for me is if you asked me at beginning of 2020 what I would have liked to see, it is a percentage of around 100 and a win/loss ratio somewhat like where we are... So on the one side I'm happy, but on the other a bit down... Just want a strong showing through 4 quarters. And if we do, should win.... Am looking for the 1995 confidence and swagger I once had.... Looking forward to a good night and a great result...

 

[Juddrockz]

Should of gave Polson a game
Watch there smalls tear us up tonight
View attachment 935935

He's being saved for the match against the Pies,to show off his wares?

 

[BlueZombie]

Any news of a late out? We’ve gone from $1.80 to $2.50 overnight

No. No late outs at this stage. And I hope it bloody stays that way. And with any luck we won't lose any of our players in game like last week.

 

[jimsta10]

What’s all this negative nelly stuff?

 

[Juddrockz]

Ergh I’m the same. My guy says we might pull out a similar performance to what we did vs St Kilda. Christ I hope I’m wrong.

If we do that then the cue is well and truely been put in the rack.

 

[The Bighouse]

No tickets available it seems but can’t see it being a half capacity sell out.
Only 19K there last week (12K vs HFC).
Weather threatening to turn.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

About to head to the train station, radar at 512kms suggests there is rain in the area. We will be extremely lucky to not cop any. Go you ******* Baggers!!!

 

[BlueZombie]

Does anyone know whether we'll be wearing our away strip for tonight's match? Only mention it because it should make it easier for our blokes to spot each other in the middle of the forecast tempest!

wish he was in this week! ffs

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Already a positive, no Nathan Williamson this week

 

[Juddernaut08]

Game will be won or lost in the midfield. If TDK can break even with Darcy and our bigger bodied mids out muscle the smaller quicker midfielders of Freo we can win. Also don't mind the long bomb tonight. Harry and Casboult should be able to outmark their smaller defence.

We are actually going in as favourites, albeit very slight

 

[Juddernaut08]

Already a positive, no Nathan Williamson this week

never heard of him

 

[BlueLocke]

stats aren’t my thing, but reckon there’s a correlation between strong reserves performances and strong AFL showings this season.

blues by 156, give or take a few goals.

hope they’re more pumped than me for this one!

 

[BlueView]

Already a positive, no Nathan Williamson this week

Massive out for them he’s been huge

 

[The mighty Hawks]

Best of luck to Josh Honey, hope he has a ripper game and snags a couple on debut....

 

[BigFrizz36]

never heard of him

Paid the free against sps last week. Some believe he has a pathological hatred of Carlton. Others believe he is just a s&!t umpire.

 

[BlueLocke]

Oh and good luck to Josh Honey - looks like the hard-edged medium forward that we’re crying out for - the sort that keep winning flags for Richmond.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Is Victorian lockdown behind this? Go Baggers, we'll win.
