Prediction Round 23, 2024: Changes vs Carlton

[timeforanother22]

Being treated like a second class side by the VFL despite saving them from bankruptcy heavily outweighs the cross-town rivals who aren't really rivals but more comic-relief.

The preferential treatment the Vic clubs get shits me to tears.

With a little commitment you can learn to hate all of them.

I'm here for it. Pork ice cream ftw

Wouldn't put it past Delicioso in Vic Park.
The durian was an experience.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

In: Hedwards, Petch, Jones
Out: no one yet

B: Hough, Hedwards, Ginbey
HB: Cole, Gov, Hunt
C: Maric, Kelly, Duggan
HF: Cripps, Waterman, Ryan
F: Williams, Allen, Darling
R: Williams, Reid, Yeo
I: Trew, Johnston, Dewar, Hall, Gaff, Witherden, Petch, Jones

Final change Hedwards for Witherden
Hall or Gaff to be sub, depending on whether they think it’d be better for Gaff to start his farewell or come on during the game.

One of Jones/Witherden to be held out, the other and Petch to play Claremont.

Unless there’s a secret injury in which case Petch is first in.

Have to try it, love durian!

 

[Astro7]

Thats where im sitting.

Im kind of thinking this is winnable...but those home games against the hawks, norf and saints come to mind.

Am not 100% sure, but I do believe we've turned a corner since those games?
I reckon Coach has got the wind in their sails again.
Also reckon the young ones be playing out of their skins last two games to make an impression.

 

[KERRPOW]

Im sitting second in the work tipping comp.

Im tipping us to win as i want to be 100% back us for the win in a 50/50 game.

Do you like stilton, blue vein cheese?

Yep, no luck all week. Just single tickets popping up occasionally.

Now that I love - numero uno for me, but durian, not on your life, and I have lived in Indonesia for 36 years.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Is this like some sort of pancetta and seashell shaped pasta dish?

 

[Bender_]

How much is jesterwester talking about them that his phone auto-corrects?

Cripps 250th?????

Thought we broke the curse against Suns?

Was it Barrass 150 or Yeo 200 or something?

Second class is a generous title for them anyway, they should be grateful for that. I suspect Eagles fans that dislike Freo would increase in numbers if they actually performed at a high enough level for any sustained period of time.

I like some of their players, sure - but will never back them in a final or for anything that matters. Speaking of, hope they miss finals this year which is now becoming a real possibility.

Yankees / Mets, AC / Inter, Lakers / Clippers, Arsenal / Tottenham. You’re not supposed to like them.

Could never understand Eagles fans that got behind them when they played in the GF. Like they were barracking for WA. Dockers fans are generally not behind us. Ok cool, let’s all just hold hands and sing Kumbaya and settle on split points instead of playing derbies in the future. Fk Freo forever! Haha

jesterwester huge JJJ nuff since way before Killing Heidi dropped ‘Weir’

This is the thing for me. They're not relevant enough for me to hate them.

Last home game of the season + Gaff's farewell + Carlton have a huge following in WA

Don't waste your time with that shit, Peitro is the Gelato king of Albany Hwy.

Members don't always sell their seats if they can't fill them all (we'll often have 1 of the 4 vacant) and Carlton has a big fan base, so would have snapped up the public reserve.
