Preview Rnd 8 - Carlton v North Saturday 25th July 1.05PM @ the Gabba

[HBF]

No Cunnington, no North.

 

[Coops93]

It's been pissing down all morning so far.

Stopped the last 10 mins or so

 

[wow_jones]

0.2mm since 9am 17 degrees no wind to speak of.
Go Blues!

 

[Healer]

I'd like us to win by a lot.
Be ruthless
Get our percentage points up.

Having said that,
A win by any amount will suffice.

As Louie the Lip might have wagered. "I'll run naked down Errol Street if Norf beat us". (Wearing a mask of course)

 

[TheRedPill]

Hearing Harry out, Moore in.

 

[Mr_Plow]

TRP saying Harry out, which is a shame.

 

[Arr0w]

And there is the first possible change, hearing one more, a backman very sore

Good luck to Moore, conditions could suit

Cottrell?

Anyone but Plowman.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Anyone but Plowman.

If I had to guess, it's most likely Williamson out.

Missed a lot of footy in recent years, so his body would still be adapting to the rigours.

Has also played through injuries sustained during each of the last two matches.

Sorry to miss Doc's 100th but glad we opted out of this one. With wife's work commitments would have to be 4 hours down, 4 hours back in the rain.
Sorry Sandgropers, but sweating on the boys returning after their next hub for a block of games

Oh what teague said just yesterday he's fine?

Not confident of a willo for polson switch.

Willo would be perfect for larkey.

Why would Teague tell the media he’s fine yesterday. That’s unfair on members.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Williamson too small for Larkey.

I agree - it’s a little disappointing if this is the case.
Why not admit he’s a 50/50 chance to play? There are always players who are named but are a chance to be replaced just before the game. Happens every week - possibly even Simpkin for NM today.

I’m pissed how dishonest they’ve been over the years.

 

[F_therest]

Williamson too small for Larkey.

True didnt realise how tall he is.

But Jones and weitering will get Brown and walker...assuming he plays forward like last week.

Zurhaar is the type we would usually put plowman on...190cm and strong.

Willo is next best match up for larkey...if he's out who else is there? Our other defenders are all short.

Keep the opposition guessing.

Also why draw attention to an injured player if he does end up playing?

Back em in until they're confirmed out.

North havent said simpkin or any of their players are 50/50.

Lets see what Honey's got as well then.

Don’t really know their lineup that well, but I’d be stunned if NM play Brown, Larkey, Walker AND Zurhaar in the forward line - especially if it’s wet.
I’d be sending Walker to the backline if I were them, but then they have McKay and Tarrant already.
They’ve gone in VERY tall.

 

[CJMB]

Why would Teague tell the media he’s fine yesterday. That’s unfair on members.

Because a hell of a lot of their planning has probably gone into handling Harry

 

[blue healer]

Was that the game the beat us by 100 and at one stage had 16 players on the field or was that 2018?

Yes, definitely last season but I wasn't there to see how many they had left on the field but they were definitely without Coniglio and Kelly in the selected team.

 

[blue healer]

Sadly that game was at Marvel, not Sydney

The one I'm talking about was definitely Sydney and a couple of games before Bolton was sacked.

We only lost by 93.
