V St.Kilda

[mightymightyblues]

I know its early but lets eradicate what happened last night and now look forward to next week.
Will certainly lose Hartlett due to suspension but will get back Hammo and Kreuze which will give us some much needed ruck help. Hopefully Fish will return as well next week. Would like to see Pfeiffer make his debut and Saddington play since he was among our best last time we met. If Bentick is fit, wouldn't mind seeing him get a run because he brings that much needed toughness.
Going to be a hell of a fight to try get over the saints since they are my tip for the premiership, but never deny the carlton spirit.
Looking forward to it.
Go Blues

LOL, we'll be lucky to get within 10 goals.

We haven't bet the Sainters for seven or eight years, it aint about to start now.

 

[pinkcrows]

Whens it on?

 

[Charbzilla]

Have some hope fellas

If waite is able to shutdown Reiwoldt again then who knows what could happen this time around.

But knowing our record at TD, i don't think a win is possible come saturday.

Essendon Round 3, now thats a different story!!

Unfortunately i agree.

They have us covered all over....

Ruck ...... ..........Gardiner and King
Forward line....... Gehrig, Kosi , Revolt etc
Backline............ Solid
Midfield ............. One of the best


Big trouble this week.

[Korn]

Turkey slapped....it will be so awful.

 

[juzza316]

If we can get within 4-5 goals it will be a reasonable result.

 

[Mayesy_23]

Positive thinking people.
Rucks ... Gardiner and King ... Will be a ripper test for Hammo, Kreuzer for bits and Cloke.
Forward Line ... Gehrig, Kosi, Revolt ... Great experience for Jammo, Irish, Waite and TBird.
I'm looking forward to how our younguns go.

Wrong. I will judge Carlton on how they come out next week, not on this game. I don't demand/expect a win, I'm hopeful, but if we give it 110%, then it will at least be a close game.

Carlton didnt want to give 100% this week, so they owe us 110% next week. If they deliver, then I will believe we are on the rise.

One of of major problems in the past has been our lack of actually adressing what went wrong. This week it was painfully obvious that we lacked effort, so now Ratten needs to get that efort out of the boys for next week.

happy days for you lot.

the saints are a worry but essendon and collingwood games against us are always unpredictable. couldnt pick it.

 

[Lazyboy]

i can pick it like i picked your 5 goal loss last night.

Dons by 30
Pies by 60

Its your backline

Lloyd, Lucas, Mcphee, Monfries, Davies

Rocca, Cloke, Rusling, Didak, Thomas, Medhurst, Davis

 

[bluesforever]

Very tough match. As another poster said, I will rate Carlton afterwards, yes we are unlikely to win, but it isn't impossible, let's focus on the positives, the only positive we have is we have next week to redeem ourselves of the embarrassment of losing to Richmond.

if you truly think that you can comment on a match your team is in as an unbiased party then you are delusional. i am not going to pick a winner and a score because i know my prediction would be full of bias. i will simply point out that in previous years form and skill have been largely irrelevent and sheer desire has decided these matches.

 

[juzza316]

Thinking about this game, can we just skip it and start talking about round three?

 

[Corrosion]

I'd like to see us line-up as follows:

B: Saddington Thornton Jamison

HB: Scotland O'Hailpin Houlihan

C: Carazzo Murphy Simpson

HF: Gibbs Waite Pfiffer

F: Betts Fevola Edwards

FO: Hampson Judd Stevens

I/C: Kruezer, Bannister, Jackson, Cloke


Should play Waite at Centre Half Forward, need that other experienced option up front. I like O'Hailpin's defensive skills, and it would be a good test for him in the Centre Half Back position. I'd like to see Waite go to Half Back when O'Hailpin is interchanged, and bring on Cloke to go to Centre Half Forward. I think that would be a good move, as I believe Cloke is a good forward option for us.

Exactly, win lose or draw, show us some improvement in the top 5 fundamentals please

[THE_GUN]

goodluck guys hopefully its a good game but i have the sainters as favourite to play off with geelong in the gf this year.
they have an experienced ruck gardiner,kosi,king,
fowards are imo the best in the afl kosi, gardiner,reiwoldt,g-train
mids are again top 4 easily
defence is rock solid
hope not but could become a big blowout.
