We are yet to win a Round 1 game with TW as coach, so i am expecting the boys to come out fired up and finally produce the goods this week.

When was the last time we won in Round 1?
 
I'd be very disappointed if we don't come away with a win. You'd think there'd be enough incentive and seriousness around the club for this season.
 
last year was a mess

atleast this year no matter how bad we play it wont happen like that:thumbsu:

Should be a cracking game this week fellas.
Would be great if we could get 70,000+ at the 'G this week.

Yeah but too bad for you guys, we decided we are going to stop Fevola to win the game :p

Oh somebody tell Terry we should try and win each quarter, they say it improves the odds of winning.
 
I think the key will be the midfield if we can get on top there we should win.

Also our forwards need to beat their defence for us to win.

Although if our backline doesn't hold up under fire we might lose.

You have to be kidding right?,their defence has to be weaker than ours.Our forwards won't have a problem scoring as long as they get the ball delivered regularly and properly by the midfield.
 
I don't understand it everytime Carlton fans say how much we will struggle to hold their forwards but their defense won't have any problems with our fowards.

Wasn't a problem for our side last year. What has changed?

I was wearing my captain obvious cape because of the thread title...

setanta, waite, allowing lance up forward with fish.

setanta has found his feet, waite is finally fit and has moved into the backline where he is gunning, fish has stood up and is (touchwood) uninjured, Lance is in the forward line.

when we have it we need to keep a hold of it and when they have it we need to get it off them, and when it is in dispute we need to get it. then i think we might have a chance of winning.

With the improvement of Setanta at FB, the move of Waite to CHB and Thornton now taking on the 3rd tall suddenly makes our defence look ok.

Still, should be a great game though. I'm just hoping that the 'G is packed with both sets of fans. :thumbsu:

When was the last time we won in Round 1?

Between 1983-94 we lost 12 round 1 games in a row :thumbsu: (you kids don't know how good ya got it). We only broke the run when they let us play Fremantle in their first ever AFL game in 95.

Since 95 we have done OK. WLWWLWWWLWLL (7 wins, 5 losses). Until the two humiliations these last 2 years we were shaping as round 1 specials.
