Which game would you rather win?

[Dr Awkward]

Round 1 against Carlton or Round 2 against Gold Coast?

Carlton are one of my favourite teams to beat and its about time we dealt them a blow.

On the other hand, the Gold Coast game is historic, the whole country will be watching us and it would be pretty embarrassing to lose to a team that has never played together before.

 

[Matthew2708]

Well... I don't think we'll beat Carlton, but I rather beat Gold Coast anyhow.
If we lost to the Gold Coast, Bay 13 would go into meltdown.

Round 1 against Carlton or Round 2 against Gold Coast?

Absurd to think we would plan to lose one of our first 2 games for 2011 already.

We could easily win both and be on top of the ladder for the start of round 3.

We could easily finish on top of the ladder and win the Premiership too!

Bloody hell dont get ahead of yourself mate. 1 win from our first 4 games would be an improvement on the last 3-4 years. Lets aim for that rather than aiming to be on top of the ladder after round 2!

What? I'm not saying we should plan to win just 1 game (who would ever do that? Apart from Freo), I'm just asking from a fans point of view which game you care about more and which team you would rather beat.

 

[The Goon]

Carlton for sure. Would hate to lose against the GC playing their first game, but the sweetness of beating the Blues would I think outweigh the embarrassment of losing to the Suns. Would probably be better for memberships too.

Having said that, I think we'll lose the first and win the second.

In which case I would nominate the GC game. Would be a major embarassment losing to them, one that could put us under unecessary pressure early.

 

[Bazzar]

Not even a contest. Carltank by a massive margin.

If we lost to the Gold Coast, Bay 13 would go into meltdown.

Seriously, who gives a toss what bay 13 thinks.

 

[Jisha]

Would love to smash Carlton in Round 1. If we beat Carlton than I am 100% confident of going on to beat GC also. If we get belted by Carlton the GC match could be a lot closer than expected.

 

[Madtiger2006]

I'll be different and say how about winning both games

 

[TigerGlory]

Gold Coast.

We've got the rest of eternity to give Carlton a bath whenever we feel like it. But there'll only ever be one 'Gold Coast's first game' and to be the first team to lose to them would go down in the books and that would shit me up the wall.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

If we beat Carlton then it won't look as bad if we lose to the GC.

But FML for either, really.

 

[coke_zero]

I would never ever turn down a win against Carlton.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Actually come to think of it, if we beat Carlton and then lose to the GC it will just make Carlton look worse...

Dont think we have much chance of beating Carlton though, we seem to match up badly against them.

 

[Wallaby]

The GC will be tough - huge hype etc.

I remember when Adelade played their first game (1991) - against the Hawks. Hawks went on to win the Flag - Crows would finish 9th.

Crows won by 80+ points. We could cop the same.

 

[Bazzar]

The GC will be tough - huge hype etc.

Not to mention a very good back line they are developing. We wont want to rely on just Jack for this one.

 

[Sheed]

i heard Demetriou is giving Richmond $1 million to ensure he's little invest in Queensland gets off on the right foot. Nah just kidding. i'd take a carlton win.

 

[Truetiger]

I will be at the MCG for the Carlton game as well as the Gabba for Goldcoast. I would rather we win both

 

[gaelictiogar]

Of course I'd rather beat Carlton. No brainer really.
