Preview Round 23 - Carlton v Adelaide - Sat, 25 August 2018, ES @ 19.25pm - Team post #67

[I bleed Blue]

Got pulled over by the cops today.

Had my cruise control on 110km. Crossed over back to vic from SA and didn't realise the limit changed back to 100km.

Gave me the whole "do you know why I pulled you over"

"Well since you pulled me over I'm guessing it changed back to 100. Sorry officer I had my cruise control and didn't realise"

Takes my licence and goes back to his car.

"Look I saw your Carlton membership sticker on the back window and I don't wanna make your day any worse. I'm gonna let you off with a warning. Just slow down a bit"

I'll take the pity.

Sheesh its Kreuze...not cruise

 

[Davey33]

Charlie to finish the season the way he started it -kicking a bag.
Otherwise, even though the spoon is ours it would be really nice to go out on a high and i think the team really needs it.

I'll wear my calton guernsey at the next annual review. I would welcome pity by way of a bonus

Compare this the last game of 2015.

Players under 70 games.

Ellard, Bell, Rowe, Menzel, Tutt, Buckley, Cripps, Watson, Whiley, Boekhorst, Holman, Smith, Dick.

This gave me a headache

Actually this was probably an unfair comparison as I did leave out a heap of quality under 70 game players who didn't play that day who were on the list in 2015.

Doherty, Byrne.....Doche...wait already said him....so yeah Docherty and Byrne...

.....but you can also add Casboult, Foster, Graham, Giles, Viojo-Rainbow, Jaksch, Gowers, Fraser Russell, Sheehan, Brad Walsh, Blaine Johnson.

Missing from Arrow's earlier post that are playing tomorrow and are Under 70 games (most much less) are...

Dow, Fisher, Garlett, Cuningham, Kerr, Kennedy, Macreadie, Philips, Schumacher, Pickett, Williamson, JGM, LeBois and McDaid.

With another possible 3-4 Top 25 picks and maybe 1 or 2 of Cerra, McGovern, Brodie, Setterfield etc to add....

R23, 2015:

FB: Buckley, Jamison, Rowe
HB: Dick, Tuohy, Simpson
C: Boekhorst, Carrazzo, Tutt
HF: Ellard, Everitt, Bell
FF: Watson, Walker, Menzel
FOL: Kreuzer, Cripps, Curnow
INT: Holman, Whiley, Wood, Smith (sub)
EMG: Jones, Walsh, Fields

Key: still at Carlton, still playing AFL, no longer playing AFL

Compare that to this week:

FB: Thomas, Weitering, Byrne
HB: Rowe, Marchbank, Mullett
C: O'Brien, Cripps, Lamb
HF: Petrevski-Seton, C Curnow, Wright
FF: Lang, McKay, Polson
FOL: Lobbe, E Curnow, Murphy
INT: Simpson, Kerridge, Silvagni, De Koning
EMG: Shaw, Macreadie, Pickett, O'Shea

And if that doesn't make you feel better about the path we're taking, compare the 2015 one to arguably out best 22 this year:

FB: Docherty, Jones, Plowman
HB: Marchbank, Weitering, Simpson
C: E Curnow, Cripps, O'Brien
HF: Murphy, C Curnow, Fisher
FF: Petrevski-Seton, McKay, Pickett
FOL: Kreuzer, Kennedy, Dow
INT: Thomas, Williamson, Lang, Byrne
EMG: Macreadie, Cuningham, Silvagni, De Koning

Obviously some scope for emergencies to replace players in the 22, but you get the idea.

 

[Davey33]

You think ? Lol

Sounds funny but can we take it for granted? i think not.
way too lethargical

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

I'm glad the crows are dead and buried otherwise this would've potentially been the game they used us as a step ladder to climb back into the 8. Footy gods...if you're listening. please let us win. it would do wonders for the team and by crikey i'd be up & about at this years GF BBQ surrounded by crow fans.

C'mon baggers. I haven't asked for much this year. I've copped my whacks. I've stuck by you, I've defended you in the office kitchen.
A little return isn't too much to ask. A point will do. Actually that'd be even sweeter.

Blues by 10. Come the **** ON!

[Blue Heart]

What's Paddy Dow's problem ... nothing serious that will interrupt his pre season I hope ?

 

[PrinceCharles]

You think ? Lol

Just curious, are you actually 37?

No doubt that 2015 line up was a bit dicky

 

[HARKER]

A late out for Adelaide?

Gee we could really do with a Blaine Johnson now.

 

[Jabba73]

Does anyone care anymore?

 

[Benaly28]

Little bit.Get to see TDK again and also Betts and Gibbs.Track MM’s form.Hopefully good effort.

 

[mediumsizered]

Does anyone care anymore?

I care everytime the Carlton Football Club graces the field. There is always something to look for, particularly when we are playing a number of youngsters.

Haven't made it to page 7 and it is Friday night. Scary

It's very disappointing. You can't blame people though, it's been a tough year & it will be all over in 24 hours, with another September to pass without our participation.

Knowing it will be 7 months before we run out again for the Home & Away season is incentive enough for me to care for one more game.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I’ll say this.

As we do every year, we go all maths on 1 and 2 picks.

Does anyone think a club playing finals next month, honestly cares if they have pick whatever or one pick less??
