Your good folks early thoughts on how we'll go against the bluebaggers and who will play?
-
I'm still quietly confident.
We have the team to beat them.
Hampson out is sensational for us.
Juddy still not at 100%, anyone think he was run a bit strangely from some game footage they show of him running straight on? It was almost a waddle imo.
I wont be confident vocally until I see the team selected. It needs to have Polo and Edwards in it for a start.
-
Looking forward to it for a lot of reasons :shh
Actually think we will win.
All the pressure is Juddton oops sorry that should be Carlton ...er no I think I was right the first time Juddton - they are a one man team, club everything from what I hear and read ATM ;D
No-one is expecting us to win so .... :thumbsup
:gotigers
-
I know we have played better since but.
As long as we dont play the same as we did against St Kilda we should win.

l dont care who wins l would hope its Richmond cause l hate Carlton so much
but for me seriously all l want to see if a different style of game without the mitakes & bad decision making
l seroiusly want to see a real game & if we do win l dont want RFC to cause a media circus about it & keep it down
if we lose it better be by only a kick cause if they lose by 40 points l'm out of here & l will order a semiload of chicken poo for them
-
murphy gets rubbed out and if we are in with a real chance. i'd love no better than to smash those f...wits
with murphy in the team, i don't see how we can shut down carrazo, scotland, murphy, judd, simpson.

Hhhmm, 3 bags (generously defining a bag as more than 3 goals) in 8 seasons. Lets not allow the facts to get in the road of a ripping good yarn. And I'm pretty sure Richo likes kicking a bag every week against every team - doesn't mean he does it though.

20 goals in last 5 games
fair return I would say

Just like his sum return of 7 goals in the 6 games prior to that? My comment was in response to the statement "he loves kicking bags against Richmond".
1. He has only kicked 3 bags in his career v us.
2. Any forward "loves" to kick a bag against anyone.

Pfffftt.... Fev - Thursty will have his inflated measure even if the chin gets 1/2 decent delivery.
Me, I will be in Coral Bay WA and trying to get ABC on the radio while cliff fishing.

Not a bad return.
Jay actually had a very promising start to the season last year.
I hope he plays against the Blues as we can do with his height at both ends of the ground.

what does his first few games have to do with it, young key forward etc its never going to be amazing numbers
like i said 20 goals in 5 games is a good return and he didnt even kick straight
-
Fev and Richo averaging 3 goals is what you'd expect. It's our midfielders who need to start kicking goals too.
Browny hasn't played against Carlton since R7 2005
I still can't get over it's been a 3 year gap for Browny. Hopefully the bluebaggers have forgotten what he looks like lol.
Simmo, Browny and Thursty are walk-up replacements at least in that R1 side. You'd expect a few more changes too.
You know it's getting close to footy season when you go past the 'G and start feeling excited :thumbsup.
-
yes not long to go now
The months have really gone quick :thumbsup
-
Fev and Richo averaging 3 goals is what you'd expect. It's our midfielders who need to start kicking goals too.
well its going to be a very long year if you wait for our midfielders to kick goals.
our captain tucky wouldnt know whwre the goals are let alone kick one.

I can see Sugar copping a bronx cheer if he kicks it the right way with the first kick of the game lol.
We need goals more from Foley, Tambo, Newy, Lids when he play in the middle, Polo, Jacko, etc as well as from our tall and mid-sized forwards.
-
Are we sharing the gates with Carlton these days or is that arrangement no longer in action? Does anyone know?
-
no pretty sure it goes to the blues.
miller was on sen the other day saying how it was a shame it was the blues home game so by that statement i assume it all goes to them
-
kingy must stop one of judd, carazzo, scotland. forget about stevens if he plays he will be underdone
those 3 can rack up the possy's and kick it straight down fev's throat

Heh, the stars are alligning. This is karma for the Blues. :thumbsup
-
I don't know about you lot but I would rather play against a full strength Carltank side. The only satisfaction I will get out of this win is if we beat them by about 50-60 points. If we win this game you can bet your bottom dollar that again we won't get the recognition we deserve because the media reports will say that we beat an undermanned Carlton side with Stevens & Judd underdone. Well last year Carlton beat an undermanned Richmond side and we didn't hear much about that did we.
Let's get in there and freaking smash them!! :thumbsup
-
The Blues ruck stocks are thinning. No Ackland, Kruezer and possibly Hampson. It'll force Cameron Cloke to ruck all night.
If we win the record books will only include the score and 4 points so stuff the media lol.

Geez I wonder why we hate Carlton :chuck
The strut is back
Jake Niall | March 15, 2008 | The Age
Carlton likes to strut. Whereas Essendon is smug, Collingwood vengeful and Richmond — justifiably — angry, the Blues know how to lord it over lesser clubs. Even now, as they deal with an irritating reprise of the tanking accusation, the Carlton faithful are thumbing their nose at the rest.

exactly everyone forgets the players we had missing last year.
no excuses if we have any ticker left we will beat them.
if not we r gone for the year. no heart no success

I Have re-posted this from another site I post on because it ***** me!!
**** **** **** ****. I am sorry but is anyone getting sick and ******* tired of Chris ******* Judd and his comeback in round 1??????? Every time I go onto the net that is all I ******* see!!! The stories are all the same; round 1 this round 1 that, Judd just had a poo at 11am, Judd just ****** his missus at 12.45pm!!! I am *******sick of it, Richmond had better go out there in round 1 and plaster his face all over the MCG, fair dinkum I have just lost the plot with it.
We really need to stop this Judd crap and we can do it in the first qtr; Tip us to kick 10 goals to two in the first........please!!
-
They did the same thing last year with the Sheedy-Hird farewell game. They just expected us to turn up and roll over for the "party". Didn't happen :thumbsup. All the expectation is on Carlton and hopefully they're getting big heads believing their own hype.
-
LOL I dont care if theyre at full strength or have their grandmothers playing for them, I just want to win a game! ;D
This is the first time ever that I'm not looking forward to the season. Every other year I start out full of hope and optimism, this year I just have a sick feeling in my gut, last year I was caught unaware, and just kept thinking "we'll come good", this year being pre-warned I am just dreding being the punching bag of every other teams supporter :( :-[

this game means more to me personally than any other game in the year. i hate those pricks.

Pies followed closely by the Blues on the hate scale. Saints and Hawks next because of their supporters. Bomber fans haven't had much to be smug about to be annoying and are jumping ship to the blues lol :wallywink.

Lack of big men exposes Carlton
By Greg Denham
The Australian
March 17, 2008
... the Blues will start the season against Richmond at the MCG well below full strength.
The Blues will be particularly vulnerable in the ruck against Tigers No.1 ruckman Troy Simmonds, as they are set to be down three big men.
With No.1 draft pick Matthew Kreuzer in doubt with a hip injury, and the absence of Cain Ackland and Shaun Hampson, the Blues' only recognised ruckman is Cameron Cloke, and he has not played since a shoulder reconstruction after round six last year.
The long-awaited senior debut of the talented Kreuzer may be postponed for a week after he strained his hip at a closed training session.
Hampson, the Blues' tallest ruckman at 201 centimetres, had come on in leaps and bounds since playing in the final two rounds last season, but he underwent a knee arthroscope to remove bone chips and will miss at least the opening round.
Ackland had a shoulder reconstruction in the off-season and is unlikely to be considered for another month.
Finding a back-up ruckman for Cloke against the Tigers will be high on Carlton's agenda in this week's lead-up.
The Blues' main two options could be Irish defender Setanta O'hAilpin or rookie Sam Jacobs. Jacobs would have to be upgraded as a replacement for Andrew Walker, who will miss the first three months because of shoulder surgery.
While Nick Stevens is considered a certain starter despite a minor neck problem a fortnight ago, the Blues will also be without Brad Fisher (thumb), Adam Bentick (groin), and Clinton Benjamin (groin).
Richmond expects Graham Polak (heel) to be available, but Jay Schulz (fractured ribs) remains unlikely.

Looks like their ruck division is down to Cameron Cloke and maybe a rookie since Hampson and Asanke O'hailpin, as expected wont be back.
If we can get the advantage from our taps 40+ should be on the cards. :pray
Wow, just looked at 40+, Would be a $8500 return. Very tidy.
-
No ruck, no fev, nice little earner for TM :thumbsup
-
no fev??
-
no fev??
Yeah probably wishful thinking knowing the Blues and their stuff the rules attitude but if Fev is suspended TM's looking at a nice little profit for himself. The Blues forward line is already thin with Waite needed to play in defence and Fisher out injured.
-
Talking to a mate yesterday and he does not expect much from the season. Me being forever the optimist reckons we could nail 8-10 depending on a bit of luck.
The one thing we do agree on is that this game is our season, we must beat this filth, 2 poo sides - yep, still a huge game yep.
To walk away from this game with a win, will be akin to popping a methane gas filled ballon the size of Jupiter.
Sick of all this Carltank this, Judd that - time to end it on Thursday Tigers.

Your good folks early thoughts on how we'll go against the bluebaggers and who will play?
I don`t know if i get excited about the season coming around or wait with trepadition. The most optimistic time of the year is about now and i really hope we knock the baggers off. The only thing i hope for is that we win the winnable games and maybe score an upset or two. Oh, and no 157 point floggings either. Oh, and Richo to kick a hundred, oh and Delidio to win a Brownlow, oh and......

Ratten is worried about the Blues being caught short in the ruck and defence.
Hampson, Kreuzer, Ackland and Aisake O'hAilpin won't play. Leaves Cameron Cloke and Setanta O'hAilpin as their only alternatives and O'hAilpin may have to be used in defence on Richo or Polak.
Stevens and Hadley are playing. One debutant Jake Edwards. Judd will play 80% gametime.

This was a good chance to give a kid like Rance an early game allowing someone like Polak to go forward and stretch the blues further. I think our squad is very average, it would have been good to see a new kid or two who havent played league footy get a chance.

Just over 24 hours to go. Bring it on! :thumbsup

I think because Rance missed a few weeks with that ankle they've been cautious with him.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with your assessment of our squad but I like that this helps promote a culture of 'earning a spot'. And before I get howled down by all those with a hatred of Johnson, Tivendale, Howat et al, I think this is the first year in our renaissance that we have anything approaching a list of some depth that will allow us this luxury of growing such a culture (ie playing the 'big boys' game). The whole club (not just the players) is still on a huge learning curve and every little step like this that we are able to make gets us closer to where a successful club needs to be.

24 degrees and windy tomorrow with a afternoon change plus a shower or two around 3pm. Let's hope it's all blown over by 6.

Blues, Tigers set to grab centre stage
March 19, 2008 - 6:19PM
For the Tigers, they simply must perform, with Terry Wallace entering his fourth year in charge under intense pressure.
Richmond president Gary March has done nothing to ease that, by publicly declaring the club needs to see some results of patient rebuilding over the past three seasons.
There is not much faith from outside the club, bookmakers having installed them as wooden spoon favourites.
Skipper Kane Johnson, likely to line up on Judd on Thursday night, admits everyone at Tigerland is feeling the heat ahead of what will be a "finals-like" clash.
"Any team that wins three games (last season) there's going to be pressure on everyone at the club, it's not just Terry," Johnson said.
While the Judd deal overshadowed other trades of the summer, a new Tiger, ex-Bulldog Jordan McMahon, will don the yellow and black for the first time.
"I'm really looking forward to putting on the famous yellow sash ... the crowd is also a big issue for me," McMahon said.
"I played before 84,000 once for the Bulldogs in the final against Collingwood in 2006 and it will be really interesting to play in front of a crowd like that in a home and away game. It will feel like a final."

after watching tonites news if juddies performance on the field is determined by how twigs is looking then he is going to smash us
-
howatt and not rance or a tall.
am i missing something?
we should be stretching those cheats with another tall not howatt.
-
Not even Mitch Morton got named in the 22. Im sorry but you know ... the guy did ok in the preseason, can kick goals, Morton should of been picked. I hope we win tomorrow coz its gonna a very long week otherwise.

From the Age:
Martin Boulton and Nick Sheridan | March 20, 2008
Richmond assistant coach Brian Royal said the Blues were competitive throughout the pre-season competition and "obviously very hungry" heading into the first round.
"Every team they've played over the pre-season they've made a game of it, whether they've won or lost, so they're very competitive," he said.
"Their dominance is probably their midfield, so it's important the individuals in (our) midfield do their roles."
Mark Coughlan will not play, but Royal said the 2003 best and fairest winner was on track to return after two knee reconstructions.
"He's missed a lot of footy over the last two years and still needs match fitness," Royal said. "We believe he's fully over his knee, it's now about game fitness and the more he can play the better he's going to be when he comes back to AFL level."
Former Bulldogs defender Jordan McMahon makes his debut for the Tigers and Nathan Foley and Jay Schulz both play their 50th game.

Cannot wait for the game Go the Mighty Tigers, i read Cogs is out Spewing, lets hope Edwards plays.
Hopefully Browny kicks a few go Tambo, foley Simmo gee i can't wait. :gotigers :gotigers :gotigers :thumbsup :thumbsup :pray :clapping
-
IMO Cogs can proof himself first by playing games in the Coburg side cause he dont warrant a game till he dominates his position in the VFL. Times have changed people aint getting games l heard unless they push there way into the side
90 mins l be on the road to Melbourne :thumbsup lookout MCC l'm dressed to kill & ready to booze on & watch the Tigers kickass
Wife is driving home :gotigers

Yep, the 1982 re-match.
Just reading some Carltank supporters opinions of the game on BF and if we can get over the line tonight, there is going to be some shattered Blues fans come 8:30 tonight.
To quote Andrew Demetriou, the Blue fans are 'delusional' :lol and parrot is going to cop it!

A Good win against an undermanned Carlton who were missing some very decent players. A wins a win however and our Membership campaign for 2008 has been saved. I didnt take notes just doing this from memory of the game.
Jake King- Excellent after initial error, guts, spirit, competitive. 8/10
Will Thursfield- Good Job tonight considering the Carlton capability to deliver inside 50 to key fwds- 7/10
Joel Bowden- Average, first half poor, second half better - 5/10
Chris Newman- Average, I expect better from Chris- 5/10
Graham Polak- Below Average Performance for mine, Needs to do more 4/10
Kelvin Moore- Good performance from Kelvin I thought 6/10
Richard Tambling- Showing signs, showing abit of hardness at the contest, good in 2nd half - 6/10
Shane Tuck- Very Good tonight I thought, Didnt turn it over as much from what I saw - 7/10
Andrew Raines- Ok performace, still wants to be a he man, didnt cost us this time - 6/10
Kayne Pettifer- Average performance from Kayne, can play alot better - 5/10
Matthew Richardson- Richo is Richo - 7/10. A Good Performance.
Jordan McMahon- Poor in the first half, better in the 2nd, Average overall 5/10
Brett Deledio- Below Average tonight, 2 goals gets him a 5/10, If he hadnt kicked 2 Id give him a fail.
Jay Schulz- Tried very hard but it was Average Performance for mine, 5/10
Nathan Brown- Excellent when he went onto the ball. A Class Player, can do more though - 7/10
Troy Simmonds- Battled hard, Carlton had very average Rucks - 5/10

Nathan Foley- Another Very Good Performance from RFC's No 1 midfielder 7/10
Daniel Jackson- I thought Dan did Ok tonight, showed enourmous courage on occassions 6/10

Adam Pattison- Ok performace- 5/10
Cam Howat- I thought he went ok, got lots of it but I prefer others in the role 6/10 for what he produces

Yep but Petts a 6 or 7 I reckon. Was better than 5.
-
I marked Petts down because hes actually played better in the past. In the end, this is just a personal opinion, its neither right nor wrong just a point of view.
-
dan jackson well done son, gotta love those facilties in the MCC...rogerd3 has had way too many, go tigers.
-
When Jackson kicked the loooong goal in the last I was telling people around me that he was Judd's man. :)
The Carlton fans didn't seem too keen to listen.
-
I think most on here are not getting carried away with that win - which is wise.
Only two I slightly disagree with
Tambling 6/10 - you are kind
McMahon 5/10 - you are a bit hard
When you see Deledio, Brown, Judd (super talent) Murphy and Gibbs get a touch you immediately see the class - I just don't see that with Tambling.
-
Just on Gibbs gee I wasnt really looking at Carltons team all that much but I didnt see him alot ... was I mistaken or did he have a shocker.
-
McMahon's passes to the advantage of the forwards are something I haven't seen since Leon Cameron and Stuey Maxfield. One on his wrong foot in the third quarter was sensational.

Pretty good summary Ramps. Just a couple of changes for mine.
Blingers might as well have been the mascot in the first half. Some very soft disappointing efforts. Much better in the second half. Especially continually chasing down and putting pressure on Carlton ball carriers. Good to see. Started to put his body on the line and even copped a weggie for his troubles which is what he got the free for to kick the last goal. I'd give him a 5.
I thought Jordy was very good from midway through the 3rd quarter onwards. He was really damaging with his linking runs into space and then threading the ball through to teammates who could then pass inside 50. Not something that would be seen it on tv. He was still running hard late in the game too. A 6 from me.
Browny was great once he went into the middle but up forward he kept trying to wait for the ball to come to him and was outmarked by Thorton most times.
I would have given Simmo at least a 6. A key part in us having more clearances IMO.
-
i dont know from where i was sitting i like blingers game.
i saw him take the man a few times and run the lines. was happy.
sugar did a good job.
all in all great job.
schulz should surely go back to coburg though..cleve to stay every week till he gets it right.
-
I have to agree to MT on Blingers, i have given this kid all the time in the world and havent bagged him. But up until half time last night he was a disgrace and looked scared and out of place.
He must have been given a rocket at half time as he turned it around.
Also what was with some of our kicking out from full back??
kicking to players like Tambling and Howat in contested situations was a disgrace.
Polak, Simmonds, Patto, Cleve, Shultz should be the targets surely.

Naa Schulz looked at home down back and I thought Plough shouldve left him there.
He was average everywhere else.

Disagree daniel, I thought Sarge did good,dont forget he is playing a new role. An Adam Hunter type role for me. He needs a few games in that role to gain some confidence IMHO. Cleve on the other hand, still disappoints me
-
To walk away from this game with a win, will be akin to popping a methane gas filled ballon the size of Jupiter.
Sick of all this Carltank this, Judd that - time to end it on Thursday Tigers.

The incident before half time where Blingers went ""half hearted"" when Thornton marked inside 50 was a disgrace. All he had to do was put his body on the line and put his fist in the air.
His efforts in the second half showed he can play.
Needs to show some consistency from now on,
-
i thought blingers was very gutsy, took a veru gutsy mark with richo running straight at him a 220km/h
gees jack, blingers maybe made one mistake, so did jake king, richo missed 3 easy goals , should have had 8 but still was gr8
u cant bag blingers for a quiet 1st half and one mistake, maybe he was quiet cos thats how it panned out or how terry was playing him, preserving and managing our on ballers.
deledio was our no1 pick and he was not good at all last night but i know he will be a gr8 player for many yrs as will tambling

agree Jackstar, really disappointed with that effort.
-
Agree Tambo was crap in the first half. Was very disappointed at half time. Thought I was watching the Tambo from 2006. They must have several out the back because I think they worked out they had accidentally wheeled out the wrong model. I think the 2008 model was on display in the second half.
Hopefully it's just a case of confidence with Bling because I saw the improvement over last year that I was expecting from him this year in the second half. I don't believe he is timid or gutless, just a bit clueless at times.
Sorry X, his first half was BAAAAD imho.
-
Just on Clever, he looked very slow last night. He looked much more mobile in games previously.
-
Clever is still very underdone going from last nights game. The one thing I was happy about was the courage he showed at times. My biggest complaint about him last year was he appeared to do the easy thing last year rather than put his body on the line. Last night gave me a bit of hope for old Hughes. Still think he looks like Ottens, the human wet blanket. I'm sure he's a very nice fellow really.

this game needs to be moved to Good Friday. Richmond v Carlton needs to become an annual blockbuster on Good Friday.
Give the hospital $1 per admission ticket and allow fundraising outside the game and make it part of the whole day.
This would be a spectacular annual event.

That is such a good idea :thumbsup - send it to the club, send it to the AFL. Particularly linking it to the Good Friday Appeal - they could even add a dollar to the price but with collections allowed outside and all the members not having to pay it maybe they wouldn't need it.

Pretty much sums up what I thought but I just have one query on the likes of McMahon.
1st half things were not going our way and virtually all his stats went straight to the opposition, yet in the second half his disposal was better especially when the team were controlling the tempo of the game and Carlscums sorry smelly carcas was on the canvas. I fear he may be merely a passenger. Happy to be on board when things are going good nowhere where things aren't. Anyway a great win nonetheless and so so so so so so satisfying against the lying cheating scum.

If a player is underdone but picked,he SHOULD be a more physical player on the day
to make up for being poo.
It's all they have @ the time.

Yep that was one incident I was critical of Blingers in the first half. Another was a half-hearted attempt at a tackle where the Carlton slid through him like butter. Very soft. Mind you he had a few mates in that second quarter. I was going how could anyone coach these bunch of softies but they all totally turned it around for a gutsy win. Yep Plough must have torn shreads off Tambo at half-time because as RROFO said Blingers was a completely different play after half-time and as X said he showed a lot of courage.

We just don't use the new rule of playing on immediately. It must be deliberate because we are either No. 1 or 2 at going coast to coast to score so there's method to the madness. The problem I had with it last night was we struggled with kicking out long from full back. There were teammates free but we just took too long to see them (look long to your left ppl :-\ ) and with the breeze the ball just floated in the air and we got picked off a few times especially in the first half. Spotted up more in the second half (foot skills were decent) and we used handball receives to switch the play to work our way out and rebound quickly .
-
did we win by 30 or 31 points ???
something about an extra point ???

Late in the second quarter Cleve Hughes marked at about 70 ran into abt 50 and kicked out on the full. The scoreboard awarded a point even though the goal umpire and boundary umpire signalled out on the full and a subsequent fee kick went to Carlton. Hence the discrepancy by one point.
Half time score should have been Carlscum 9 6 60 Richmond 8 5 53
3 quarter time 11 5 71 to 10 10 70 to us.
Full time 17 7 109 to 11 13 79.

i thought blingers was very gutsy, took a veru gutsy mark with richo running straight at him a 220km/h
Agree X - I thought that mark was a gem. Ditto in the final quarter in the forward pocket when he went in hard, head over the ball and got that free - would have been so easy to not bother with the scoreline. Was very happy with that
Also super impressed with the Cleve Hughes mark with him running with the flight of the ball - super effort, pity about the kick :clapping
Was very happy with the Captain's game - thought his defensive pressure in the centre clearances was telling.
Mark this in your diary folks was also impressed with one C Newman :whistle ;D
Actually thought it was the hardest we've been at the footy for a long time
Must make mention of the umpires - great to see they've picked up from where they left off. Always must protect the players head they say yeah right....
.. blah blah....
... could have sworn Richo nearly had his knocked into the great southern stand and what did the umpire do .....
Flapped them arms like always and said play on .... great effort that :nope :nope

I think most on here are not getting carried away with that win - which is wise.
Only two I slightly disagree with
Tambling 6/10 - you are kind
McMahon 5/10 - you are a bit hard
When you see Deledio, Brown, Judd (super talent) Murphy and Gibbs get a touch you immediately see the class - I just don't see that with Tambling.
mjs, i read your post again, so tell me wiseguy what did i miss
and i must have missed something in gibbs, u have mentioned him in a sentance alonside, judd, brown,deledio, murphy etc, but i have yet to seeany class from this kid. all i see and here is commentators say he is class and will be class. to me he looks like he plays scared!
well i have seen lots of class in tambling, seen more class in him than in gibbs thats for sure, and i have yet to see murphy smash the eagles and kick 4 goals in 1 quarter, i have never seen murphy use his afterburners either the way blingers does.
so tell me what did i miss
-
What you are missing is that my comment about the obvious class of the players I mentioned had nothing to do with their games on Thursday - there is no point in telling me that Deledio and Gibbs didn't do much on the night - I didn't say they did.

David King said our No 1 concern/tag was on Stevens and praised Jacko as he hurt Judd going the other way (as that long goal showed).
-
David King on 3aw also said they brought up Cleve's mark and other little courageous acts at half-time to inspire the troops.

i think your being a it harsh on polak got a bit of the ball took some good marks,schulz played well down back good skills got a bit of the ball liked him having ago at hartlett adds muscle to the back line.
