Team

[Barnjay]

Mate, if anybody likes keeping a lid on it around these parts, it's me.

Just making a casual observation that whether Hille is right or not, it's a pretty good looking emergency list. And considering Bendigo isn't playing until Sunday there is still a fairly good chance at least one of the three could be seeing senior action on Saturday. I think they may be just waiting to see on weather/ground conditions on the day. The forecast is pretty good for Saturday afternoon but Melbourne has had nearly four inches of rain during the week and possibly some more tomorrow, so who knows. We clearly do not have the best depth in the competition at this point or close to it, teams like Collingwood or Hawthorn have us covered, but we're improving on that front and we needed to.

As for bandwagoner? Check the Join Date mate in comparison with your own first before comparing me to any of them. Can give you the link of my previous account as well that was activated in 2002 before this one. So don't even bother going down that track...

I'm not referring to you as a bandwagoner. Other supporters just generalise us like that now that we are having some success and many are piping up about it.

 

[Frothies Mcveigh]

Don't have a major problem with Prismall being brought in but would prefer Reimers or Hille. Although I can see some late changes happening. Should be a good game to watch.

The sooner this club realises what a hack Reimers truly is, the quicker we can move on to being a successful one.

Not too happy but willing to give Prismall a chance, after all Bomber did use him much better than Knights ever did. Played much more forward of centre and was a genuine goal kicker, hopefully we see that return.

In his 3 seasons at Geelong he averaged 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 goals per game.

At Essendon he has shown that he is quite a poor kick for goal.

I wouldn't be banking on him becoming a goal kicking mid and he has buckleys chance of pushing any of our current forwards out of the team.

 

[SirJimi05]

Man that Carlton team looks shocking on paper. Apart from Juddy, they have no real hard inside players who will win clearances against Hocking and Lonergan.

Heard of Marc Murphy?

 

[Duckworth]

Surely Colyer is a bit stiff, played better than Prismal.


Even without Hille our forward line looks pretty tall - Ryder, Hurley, Crameri

He seemed to be much more productive than that, had a couple of games kicking multiples that stuck in the mind. The exact number doesn't matter, more so the way he played, he was a quality attacking player, and if he can replicate some of that form he could still be a good player.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Heard of Marc Murphy?

Not exactly a hard inside midfielder, more a very good mix of inside and outside play without being truly exceptional at either.

 

[yarran13]

Bombers.

Red and Black, just like my name. Well, plus the black I guess.

It's pretty easy to be productive when your team is smashing the opposition by 116 points.

Some interesting comments in this thread, including "Colyer is surely stiff because he played better than Prismall." (Colyer I also would like in the side, but I struggle to see how he played better than Prismall when he didn't play?)

Furthermore, the comment about someone saying "The sooner the club realises Reimers is a hack" well, clearly you did not watch Bendigo last year and have next to no idea.

 

[Redb#]

This we stop betts and garlett, we go a long way into winning the game

Agree.

its amazing the football geniuses we have on this board second guessing Hird, maybe some of you should have applied for the coaching job.

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

Heard of Marc Murphy?

Marc Murphy, a hard nosed midfielder to compete for the contested ball with the likes of Hocking and Watson?

You could only be more off if you were suggesting Kade Simpson was an inside midfielder.

Edit: Let me make it abundantly clear that Kade Simpson is not an inside midfielder. He is a soft winger with minimal impact on games and even less genuine competitiveness, hunger or tenacity towards one of the most fundamentally important facets of the game, which is winning the ball. He typifies Carlton's general lack of realistic desire, or, indeed, the remarkable cowardice that somehow manages to resonate throughout their filthy club.

Your not wrong, people calling priz a squib, but calling for riemers to come in?! Reimers is the biggest squib in the game.

Prismalls best games are better than reimers and Prismall is more consistent. Reimers has always been gifted games, now he has to work hard and earn one.

Give me Prismall any day of the week

 

[eth-dog]

You clearly have no idea.

Anyways. Expecting a good win over your mob. After playing the Pies last week on the G, having a longer break than you guys, should be enough in itself to give us a big advantage.

Our little fellas will run riot on Saturday. Blues by 45.

Funny troll is funny.

In all seriousness, Thommo, I mean Hirdy knows what he's doing. We'll win.

 

[Redb#]

maybe theres an issue with Daveys arm?

really dont like the inclusion of Prismal at this stage with the team flying, just feels wrong

but what do i know, in Hird we trust

Exactly. Can just see Hirdy thinking hmmm how can I lose this game, I'm not going to listen to the bigfooty folk I'll put Prismall in for fun. FFS.

 

[DVD Player]

I am concerned about the 8 day break they get.

This I like.

I went to the BB vs Collingwood game at Victoria Park last year and Prismall was very hackish.

 

[Macca18]

Like the 8 day break the Saints had last week compared with our 6?

That worked out well for them...

Ok, that's reassuring.

 

[16 FLAGS]

Hird's 1st mistake?

There must be something going on behind the scenes with Reimers

Don't be suprised if theres a late change, Reimers in for Gus !

He isn't...

Simpson is harder than Gibbs
