Early days to be talking about round 1 already I know but Heath Scotland possibly won't be playing if Carlton go through with imposing a home/away game(s) suspension on him.

Like everyone else WAT you will need to go on-line at Ticketek for tickets
Tickets usually go on sale in late Jan/early Feb
-
I hate these fully ticketed games. There has pretty much always been a pile of empty seats available. Always a waste of time and money booking. Should be first in first served

It isn't a fully ticketed game
You will be able to turn up on the night and get via general admission ans seat up on the top deck of the Ponsford or Great Southern stands
I was referring to tickets for reserved seats

Nice. It's good that there are only 5 games that easter weekend. Crowds are usually down then but being less games there will be a few more neutrals. Our crowd should be huge with the holiday the next day

Bloody Carlscum cheats! I'm still haunted by round 18.
My girls went to the fence because they were certain we'd won the match and then McLean kicks the winner from the boundary no one in the goalsquare. :banghead
I got up and called the girls and we left. I was so peeed off losing the to that rabble. :banghead
... I wonder if they repaired the seat in front of me yet? :whistle

Reckon it'll be tiger fans who'll be missing this time. It's our away game. The smallest Round 1 crowds have been when we were the away team. Our supporters need to show up for once when its not our home game

It's always a home game in the MCC! Am I right fellas?!

Shared gate. We've outnumbered them at every game for years. Can't remember the last time there were more Blues fans at our games.
Even their fans said it.

There will be plenty of them this time round. Their membership numbers are currently up 20% on last years numbers and these are supposedly new members never before signed, their at 16,500 as we speak.
The crowd at this opening game will be the biggest crowd we have had against the blues in years. the blues supporters are electrified by Maltshake, its going to be a biggin. Lets hope we are as a team are finally up to the task of decimating these pricks in front of a big crowd.

They'll be lucky to get 50k members. No way they will get more than us.

They're up and about the Blues fans, on a few 2013 predictions I have seen so far, a lot of the Carltank fans have themselves on 17 wins and top 4. :lol

Bruise free training for the Blues. They're not allowed to tackle until February.

Hopefully the lack of tackling practice stuffs them up for round 1.
-
Malthouse is such a media whore. Ex Tigers premiership player has cached both enemy's. Absolute knob
-
Looking forward to this one, managed to get 16 tickets to the MCC Members section.. :thumbsup. There is a bunch of us going!!!
:gotigers :gotigers

Malthouse always seems to get the best out of his players regardless of where he coaches. I can see Carlton making the top 4 sadly. I just hope it takes them the first few rounds to get used to his game plan which put them off their game for the Opening Round.
What I can see is us matching them in the middle. For years they have had bigger bodied ball winners in the center which have dominated us and given their forwards every opportunity to score quickly. Players like Morris is crucial to keeping Betts in check but we need another small backman to shut down the likes of Garlett. I'm no convinced players like Houli, Newman, Conca or Ellis can do it :-\
The new ruck rule will help the taller rucks around the ground but Big Ivan should be able to compete well in the middle. If he can block the run of Hampson to the contest it will negate his extra reach now that wrestling is ruled out. Maric seemed to compete well in the preseason games when the rule was being trialled so I have high hopes.
Vickery needs to play well for us to have an opportunity to win. We just can't rely on Jack to kick a bag even game. I'm also hopeful that A.Edwards can kick a couple and get the defenders guessing. I'm not sure how Knights will contribute but we really just need to split the defenders and we have every opportunity at winning.
They just seem to have the wood over us presently :'(

It's an abomination that they are using AC/DC to promote themselves. Angus, Malcolm, Phil, Mark then Cliff .... And most of all Bon would be disgusted.
..... Not Happy! :banghead
They should be using Buck's Fizz or Bay city rollers in any promotional video they do.
We better smash em round 1.

Stop Eddie Betts? It's very very very easy......Run straight through him & make sure he doesn't get up. Legally ofcoarse. :whistle

Then use a sacrificial lamb. Someone that butchers the ball but is big enough to do the job. Someone that the team won't miss if he gets rubbed out for 10 weeks.
..... who would that be?.....

The blues will see a very different tigers outfit come r1 no longer bereft of forward line options, we will have a veritable embarrasment of riches to choose from. Good luck containg this lot :clapping

We should have picked up Rod Grinter as a mature age rookie just for this task. Anyone who flattened the "Tanned One" is a friend of mine! Or maybe Barry Hall. He knows how to land them and he has a reserved parking space at the judiciary. :thumbsup
-
Knights and Edwards are both training with the forward group so would be fighting for a position I would imagine though Knights is sounding like he will play on the other wing to Grigg in rotations too next year. One thing I found interesting is that the forward group train to spend 90% of their game/time creating space and sacrificing their own individual performances for the team. They feel they don't get the recognition for this part of their game from the media or supporters.

I think our biggest killer here could be Waite and Betts, they really play well against us, I think we can shut down their midfield to some degree but our backs will need to be on their game.
Our fowards will need to fire and our mids will need to kick goals, we will need an even spread of goal kickers in this game. We must go in extremely fit and be able to hit the front early and maintain a decent lead.
We can't afford to be 3-4 goals down at the end of the first!!
-
That fat arse Kreuzer kneed Ivan in the back :(

Betts is too easily pushed off the ball.

Waite :lol What a spud.
-
Waite and Betts have been very good against us!!
-
Waite is a flat track bully. Ed can play but you'd think Morris could do a solid job on him.
-
Wahhhaite is one of the most over-rated players of all time, and he's a sniping prick
-
We said that last year to going into round one, Waite killed us, so did Betts, Waite is in better preseason form than he has ever been in. No need to treat him with contempt, it will bite us.
Morris couldn't stop Betts last year.
-
10 disposals and a goal isn't my definition of "killing us". A pre-season game hasn't even been played yet, how do you know Waite's in career best form? If someone said Edwards was in career best form you would laugh at them
-
mine either
probably didn't play well cause of all the smoke
betts only kicked 2 snags as well :lol
-
our mate Rancer gave him a bath :shh
-
What a scalp :shh

Was that round one last year was it, I honestly thought that Waite and Betts had big games, Betts did kick 4 against us last year!!

Round 1 is a MUST win.
Will not accept a loss this year.
Will not tolerate a goal kicked by Betts!
Will not allow any lip from Robertson!
Will not swallow Waite running down the wing!
Will not take an overhead mark up forward by Kruzer!
Will not suffer a clearance from C. "Visy" Judd!
Will not stomach a "good fighting loss"!
Will not condone "close enough is good enough" mentality!
Will not permit the satisfaction of the traitor, Malthouse!
Will not endure a loss or defeat on any line or contest!
......We better win! :police:

Everyone knows dude 8)
A groupie is a person who seeks emotional and sexual intimacy with a musician or other celebrity or public figure. The term groupie is derived from group, in reference to a musical group,[1] but the word is also used in a more general sense, especially in casual conversation, to mean a particular kind of female fan assumed to be more interested in sex with rock stars than in their music.[2]

Really Y&B? After how many years on this forum you need to ask that question?
Chicken Littles to the fore and everyone man their skyholderupper poles.
Sack Hardwick.
Rip up the membership card.
Ring up Chicken Poo man and offer to donate to his truckload.
Change the draw so we play Brisbane (our only bunnies) first.
Watch soccer.
Bemoan our lack of small forwards.
Bemoan our lack of key defenders.
Bemoan our one dimensional forward line.
Bemoan our lack of 2nd ruck options.
Bemoan our recruiting.
Bemoan Jackson. (Rightfully so)
Bemoan Edwards.
Bemoan.
Concede the season and the club in eternity.
And that will all be in the first 5 minutes after the game. Then the serious whinging will start.
Meanwhile, the club will continue to operate as it planned, focusing on each game one at a time and letting the ladder position take care of itself. Of course, this can only happen due to the unselfish and untiring support of all the supporters holding the sky up for them!

Chicken Littles to the fore and everyone man their skyholderupper poles.
Sack Hardwick.
Rip up the membership card.
Ring up Chicken Poo man and offer to donate to his truckload.
Change the draw so we play Brisbane (our only bunnies) first.
Watch soccer.
Bemoan our lack of small forwards.
Bemoan our lack of key defenders.
Bemoan our one dimensional forward line.
Bemoan our lack of 2nd ruck options.
Bemoan our recruiting.
Bemoan Jackson. (Rightfully so)
Bemoan Edwards.
Bemoan.
Concede the season and the club in eternity.
And that will all be in the first 5 minutes after the game. Then the serious whinging will start.
Meanwhile, the club will continue to operate as it planned, focusing on each game one at a time and letting the ladder position take care of itself. Of course, this can only happen due to the unselfish and untiring support of all the supporters holding the sky up for them!

Standing applause :clapping

smokey, your on fire today.....

Not for long. Plenty of rain here at present to put me out! ;D

Round 1 is a MUST win.
Will not accept a loss this year.
Will not tolerate a goal kicked by Betts!
Will not allow any lip from Robertson!
Will not swallow Waite running down the wing!
Will not take an overhead mark up forward by Kruzer!
Will not suffer a clearance from C. "Visy" Judd!
Will not stomach a "good fighting loss"!
Will not condone "close enough is good enough" mentality!
Will not permit the satisfaction of the traitor, Malthouse!
Will not endure a loss or defeat on any line or contest!
......We better win! :police:
:gotigers
P. S. Hate the Cheating Scum!

CARLTON has fined midfielder Mitch Robinson and ordered him to complete community service following his involvement in an altercation at Saturday's Big Day Out music festival in Melbourne.

As if they were going to
1) minor incident that didn't warrant a suspension, he only punched a bloke not like he was holding up an empty plastic cup whilst wearing a basketball cap
2) it's Carlton

Classic, "one more incident and your gone", what a crock, wouldn't you think the first step of his termination would be to suspend and fine him first, then if it happens again he is gone..mmmm, anyway!! Funny personnel management process they have there.

Depends how quick they sell them off, but roughly a week after I reckon. Just log in to purchase tickets everyday and if it's still the crappy areas, try again the next day. That's my plan anyway.

That's good, he is one of the plebs that always save his best for when they play us.
Agree, he does seem to play better aginst us.
INJURY-PRONE Carlton key forward Jarrad Waite could miss the Blues' opening-round blockbuster against Richmond with a calf complaint.
Waite played just 11 games last season because of back problems, and the 30-year-old has averaged just 12 games per season over the past four years.
"I'm starting to think not," coach Mick Malthouse on Wednesday said when asked of Waite's chances to play in the opening round.
"I'm not convinced he isn't. He's line-ball."

Anyone still doubting Betts may want to watch the reply of the goal he just kicked, we will need to watch him!

Betts 4 already!

Betts is putting on a clinic. Morris did well last time and has learned a lot since this time last year, reckon he'll at least provide a bit more contest than Betts is getting now or Morris has provided previously.

The Carlton lovefest with Andy Maher on SEN tonight was sickening :chuck.
The one difference this year with Malthouse and Carlton winning all their preseason games so far is that all the attention will be mainly on them right through to round 1. While there is still expectations on us to make the finals this year, the media attention will be focussed more on how Carlton performs under Malthouse compared to Ratten's reign. Hopefully not having the spotlight will help us avoid any rabbits in the headlights scenario of past years. The last time the spotlight was on Carlton and not us in round one (Judd's first games in navy blue) we upset their party in 2008.

Last time we played Carlton on Easter Thursday was 2008 and the Judd hype was huge. Richmond win by 30 pts.
This year we play Carlton on Easter Thursday and the Malthouse hype will be just as big. Get on the Tigger Train. :gotigers

Did anyone watch the Carlton game on TV and can you fill us in on how there style of play went. I noticed there small forwards got some goals again.

Not sure who has douted betts but i know of one poster who said he wouldnt swap jackson for him
Who the hell said that? Look, I'm hardly a prude but posters can't go around saying that sort of thing.
:lol

The blue scum looked pretty good last night. If we dont turn up to play rnd1 they will hurt us

When carlton lose their practices matches thats when i fear them most
I am quite happy to see them keep winning these nothing games

Youd think that the amount of times ive argued the "the too easily pushed of the ball brigade" and tried to point out each type of player has benefits and downfalls, that would have been obvious.
Obviously not, and im hardly a prune.

Al, you just can't admit it when you are wrong, bad trait.

Deliberately making things up and taking things out of context just to bait other posters should bring about a warning from the mods. Id be keeping an eye on your pms for this, WAT.
Al, go read your post again mate, you said it pal, don't be a weak.......and try to get me banned for telling the truth!
..and i havn't argued on many occasions that smaller player who can use agility and pace to get around their opponents have a place in the game despite the fact that on occasions they will get out muscled?
I think i may have have even posed the question how many times must a lighter built player sidestep an opponent to make up for being pushed aside in a contest once?
I know i asked you if you dont find it frustrating when players like betts run around our more solid players, just before i asked if you would swap betts for jackson
any one would know that i was being sarcastic/taking the pee out those that continually moan about players being pushed too easily off the ball when i made the comment you are bringing up.
So you either didn't get the sarcasm or are deliberately making things up/taking out of context just to bait?
Which is it?

Cricket final squeezes MCG staff
By Jennifer Phelan and Ashley Browne
afl.com.au
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
TEAMS that play at the MCG in round one could possibly be running out on grass shorter than the ideal length for football should Victoria host the Sheffield Shield final the week before.
Arena staff are facing a window of as little as 48 hours to transform the MCG from a cricket ground to a football oval if the Bushrangers – as expected – host the final beginning on March 22.
The Bushrangers are currently on top with two matches remaining – one against the sixth-placed New South Wales, starting on March 7, and the other against the fifth-placed Tasmania on March 14.
There is a strong possibility the final will run to five days, given the home side only needs a draw to win the Shield, meaning it will end on March 26.
The MCG's first football match of the year is two days later on the night of March 28 between Carlton and Richmond.
The grass will continue to be cut until the end of the final and it is expected to take between seven and 10 days for it to return to optimal AFL length, given normal weather patterns.
However, the AFL is unconcerned about the possibility of this occurring.
"Our view is that the MCG is a world class stadium and they'll be able to turn it into a football stadium in time for round one," AFL spokesperson Patrick Keane said.
The AFLPA has been concerned since October about the prospect of a two-day break between the shield final and the season opener.
While it has been assured the ground will be ready, it believes the only long-term solution is Cricket Victoria having access to a first-class cricket venue at the Junction Oval.
The short turnaround between cricket and football seasons at the MCG has been a concern for several years and will continue to remain an issue until a second showpiece cricket ground is established in Melbourne.
There are plans for a redevelopment that would transform the Junction Oval into a 7000-seat boutique cricket stadium capable of hosting first-class matches, but the Victorian government has yet to provide its share of the funding.
It is believed the AFL will also be asked to make a contribution in exchange for gaining access to the MCG up to one month earlier each season.

Whys it matter when they're available?
-
Because ppl who are organised would like to know its done and dusted, sorted or locked and loaded ;) why should we as supporters wait till a week before the game, to stuff around looking for good seats. When a few weeks out take our time to select purchase and receive our tickets
-
Carlton, meanwhile, will be without tough midfielder David Ellard (hamstring) and rookies Andrew Collins (ankle) and Rhys O'Keeffe (heel) for the next five weeks.
And draftee Nick Graham won't play for two months after arthroscopic surgery to relieve swelling in his knee.
Key forward Jarrad Waite (calf) won't resume full training for two weeks and is in extreme doubt for the March 22 clash against the Tigers.

I just heard that about waite on SEN, OE.
I reckon its a tactic and hopefully Chappy is up for the task of spltting him in half, Waite is the missing piece in that carlton puzzle and I'm sure he will play.
Wasn't the last time he was in doubt when he kicked mcguane in the balls? Was well enough to do that the .....
-
I reckon its a tactic and hopefully Chappy is up for the task of spltting him in half
more chance of Chappy splitting a cab ride back to the eastern suburbs with him than splitting him in half
-
Judd will have only one preseason game before playing us. So there's a chance he'll be underdone in round 1.

-
Besides Waite (which I smell porkies anyway, he'll play), those previously mentioned players have about as much impact on Carlton's round 1 line up as Arsebury does on ours.
-
I remember a few years ago Carlton went into rnd 1 with 5 regulars underdone and by the 15 minute mark of the first qtr it was curtains for the 2009 season.

carlton are red hot favorites for r1 and if we are not 100% on our game from the start then we will be in major trouble very early on in this game.

If that is the case grand pickled one, then we have aquired the wrong gorilla for our backline.

Isincerley hope that is not the case this year, we need to blow them out of the water early on. And as supporters need to chant louder than their wanker supporters

Well IMO this game now will come down to who can score when iside 50 the most, I dont see it as a centre celarance game. The Blues have been scoring from inside the 50 without high inside 50 marking stats. I think at one stage in their game last week they did not have one mark inside their 50 up to half time but they had scored form inside 50.
They could win the ball less out of the centre and score more than us to win, we have been winning the ball but scoring less.....our forwards and backs must stand up here, we must capitalise on every entry into the 50, as much as we can..
-
Good call, our fwd line needs to be simplified. When we had jack and ty last week I thought the fwd line looked good, when we added another key fwd I thought it became too cluttered. Not to say it won't work with 3 but there has to be a better stratergy when there is 3 in there all leading and not all leading to the same place either. ::)

It's their indigenous runners we need to be careful of.
Watching the game against the hawks their was a skinny kid named Hill that was getting ball at will. I think he finished with 25 possessions for the game and my youngest daughter has more definition in her arms than he has.
It seems that we lack the know how to stop these types as much as we don't know how to recruit or develop any of these players of our own despite having an indigenous institute in our building.
It's very frustrating if you ask me.

Yeah I saw him in that one too, would be nice to see him in the GF and star, that way I think they would miss him round 1.

pretty sure i saw him playing against the crows

No Scotland and Mr potential all but ruled out of our game,
All we need is for someone from the lions to smash that little turd Betts and we are good to go for Round 1

I hope our forward line has another gear. If what we've seen in the NAB cup is anything to go by I don't know how we're going to win this one, or games like it :help :'(

We both have ordinary forward lines. It will come down to Jack's performance IMO.

Judd Kruezer and Robinson are named on their bench and they could all play forward for the blues, particularly Kreuzer and Robinson who seems to pull goals out of his arse when he plays us. If we dont hold down the carlton small forwards and they get away from us they will beat us.
-
Any reason Garlett not playing? I was just trying to pick the two extra subs that would probably miss out on round 1 (Bootsma and Joseph?), but then noticed Garlett isn't named. I'm not 100% convinced they'll go into round 1 with all of Rowe, Casboult, Hampson, and Kreuzer though, makes their bench too slow and too many part time forwards.. Maybe Rowe out for Garlett. It's a real shame we won't have Grimes. If there is one game we'll need Rance, Grimes, and Chaplin then this is the one.
Still, strong side. I maintain that unless our forward line has another cog then this is going to be same old, same old. :help

I had a go at the possible match-ups for round 1. I was trying to include what Dimma would do so that's why Jacko and even Whitey are there (not my choices). We'll need TV and Griffs to give Ivan a decent chop out in the ruck against both Hampson and Kreuzer. Add to that our 2nd tier mids need to finally stand up as in the past it's been the likes of Simpson, Robinson and Carrazzo who have torn us to shreds.

The unlucky Astbury seems out of Round 1 calculations. Competition for spots is high but there are likely to be at least a couple of new faces against the Blues on March 28 with top draftee Nick Vlastuin and former Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin both likely starters.

But you still need to add Garlett in. Reckon Rowe will come out.
That could happen. I went with Rowe just because he is playing this weekend and Garlett isn't. Rowe also gives them another tall forward option albeit an inexperienced one whereas it's more of the same if they go with the usual crowd of Casboult, Betts, Walker and Garlett up forward with one of Hampson/Kreuzer 'resting' up there. It didn't work last year. Garlett was ordinary last season and apart from their Freo NAB Cup game where he kicked 3 goals in a one-sided win he hasn't done much this preseason. If Garlett were to play then I think Houli gets him (did he play on him last year?). Then it's a question of what to do with Griffs given Carlton would only have two tall forwards with Casboult and the resting ruck and the rest midsized and small forwards. Do we then go with Chaplin and Griffs on the talls and Rance goes to say Walker? That would then probably make Batch redundant and we replace him with another midfielder on the bench/sub.

Away reserved said allocation exhausted last night, and only single seats availale in Olympic and Ponsford. I probably could have waited for more seats to be released but worried how much worse it could get.

Because they are smug and arrogant and need to be taught an effin lesson, ive always viewed their supporters to be people who accept cheating or buying their way through anything. Smug wankers who would come back to their Merc parked in a disabled zone take the parking fine from under the wiper scrunch it up, throw it on the ground and drive off
If anything I would love to see them lose to us in a premlin by a point, Jack kicking the winning goal after the siren just to rub it in the greasy chins.

I thought bummerblitz was a lowgrade affair, heres some gems from the Blues big footy forum :rollin
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/rnd-1-carlton-vs-richmond-mcg-28th-march-7-45pm.993517/
some highlights if you will: :clapping
I'm a bit scared this game is sandwiched between the NAB cup GF and the round 2 blockbuster versus Collingwood.
Added with the fact we've got this mob the last 9 times we have played them makes me think complacency might be an issue as well.
It's going to be a physical game and I think Richmond supporters look at this game like we are looking at round 2, an early final in some respects.
They are going to be pumped up.
That said they are our bunnies, Carlton by 52.
Nice write up Zee... but you may have overlooked one thing.
The fact that in our second meeting last year, they were supposed to be the better side considering our outs and the fact we were playing a bunch in inexperienced kids and second string player and they still didnt manage to beat us. I personally think that this may have scared some of their players to the point where they will poo themselves when they run out on the field.
Hardwick will be struggling to really get those guys to lift and this could be the difference between the two sides.
Taking away their supposed '6 elite' players, they havent really got all that much left thats better than VFL quality (excusing the new kids from the draft) and the top up players they picked up havent really impressed all that much over the pre-season.
So... in all honesty, we are looking at around a 30-50 point margin and if we get on top early, things get really ugly for the tuggers and it could even blow out to 70-80 points.
I hope we absolutely batter them and put 120 on em
These guys are well overdue to surprise us.
Surprises aside we should win by 4-6 goals
Like the supporters of some other club who always drink the coolaid and spout rubbish that they are dead certs to win in round 1 every year and every year the leave the game at 3/4 time after being handed another hiding...
And if you couldn't beat us with moth of our better players out... What chance do you have against us with a full strength side?
:clapping Big Men, just around the neck and ears and nothing below :thumbsup

Apparently we had no injuries and our best side on the park when we played them last time.
-
IMHO they have had the better side on paper for a number of years but we have been closing the gap, one main point of difference is the mid tier players and their bottom 6 have been better. That will change I hope/anticipate over the next few years we will have arm wrestle battles to beat each other until judd, carazzo, scotland, waite etc are retired then we will own them like they have us.
And obviously their supporters will go underground again, TBH they don't even fron for games when they are winning. Must be busy ripping off old ladies and double charging accounts to the blind or elderly
What goes up must come down and so fourth, and nothing hits the deck quicker than slopp shiit like the blue boggers

Reckon Mick is playing funny buggers so we don't have the best footage of them to analyse, but happy to have Betts play in the guts. Bloke has gone walk about.
Judd is MIA too. Thought he had been subbed off but every now and then see the chrome dome on camera. Green keeping Yarran honest by makin him actually play as a defender.

That's what you have to do. Not much of a win if you do a decent job of shutting down his run but do nothing offensively for us
-
Carlton hard nut Mitch Robinson is likely to be scrutinised for a sling tackle that saw Rich dazed and groggy midway through the second term.
He could join key forward Jarrad Waite (calf) and Heath Scotland (club suspension) on the sidelines for Round 1, but it is Waite's absence that will really hurt.
The Blues trialled all of Matthew Kreuzer, Simon White, Shaun Hampson and Sam Rowe forward, but none of them thrived on the opportunity.

Geez I thought we had a poor forward line at times. Imagine being a Carlton fan watching that tonight. :whistle
You can't chuck blokes down their just coz they are big and call them KPF's. Those blokes offered nothing. Walker looked completely out of form as well which will be a bonus if he remains so in Round 1.
Chaplin to Casboult
Griff to Hampson
Rance to Walker
If betts plays a bit up through the midfield that's a win to us. Completely unsighted.
Really need to play well through the midfield. Never going to be able to stop Murphy/Judd/Simpson but if we can get on top of the 2nd stringers like McLean/Lucas/Carrazzo/Gibbs/Robinson/Betts then they can go missing.
Mick's gameplan I'm not sold will work with ruckman playing KPF. Works well to bomb it in when you have a contested marking freak in Cloke in great form and Dawes playing career best footy.
-
Casboult can take a grab but Chaps should beat him easily. Waite & a resting Kruezer are the only talls who worry me. Walker too quick and strong in the air for PrancingRancer, IMO. ;D Batch to go to him (if Batch gets a gig that is)

Honestly, this game should be Tiges by 48+... I have never rated the scum and regardless of the NAB game they justified my my judgement of them.

Doubt Waite plays. If he does then that's a tough match up. Walker has been awful in pre-season. Grimes would be an ideal match up but I'd back Rance's speed in over Batch. Having said that if Batch plays then he probably has to take Walker. Kreuzer is really the only one that on paper could give us trouble and I guess Griff takes him while Hampson goes into the ruck and we pray Griff has a game like he did last year against Roughy or Kosi.

THE distinctive Mick Malthouse gamestyle is already appearing at Carlton, with early figures indicating the Blues are kicking longer and using the centre corridor less.
The Blues ranked 17th in long kicking under Brett Ratten in 2012, going long just 34.7 per cent of the time.
That figure has increased dramatically after one pre-season with Malthouse in charge; their 46.7 per cent ratio of long kicks during the NAB Cup was higher than any other team.
The Blues also ranked first in metres gained per disposal, compared to 11th in 2012.

From der Hun
RICHMOND skipper Trent Cotchin is confident the Tigers have overcome the late-game yips that cost them a finals spot last year.
RECOMMENDED COVERAGE
AFL captains poll says Swans will dive
Every AFL club previewed
Richmond lost six games by 12 points or fewer last season, with Brock McLean's last-gasp goal for Carlton and Karmichael Hunt's after-the-siren winner for Gold Coast particularly damaging.
But Cotchin, in search of his first win against Carlton next Thursday, said come-from-behind NAB Cup victories over Essendon, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn after the siren, proved the Tigers were shrugging the monkey off the back.
Cotchin said the exuberant reaction to Jack Riewoldt's winner against the Hawks on March 9 only showed how determined the team was to win the close ones.
"It's good for us. It's a good confidence booster going into the season because there were so many games last year where we let ourselves down," Cotchin said.
"Hopefully, the (match) situation stuff we've practised over the pre-season gives us the opportunity where it's tight and we end up with a more positive result. It has been a big focus.
"Last year, it probably came back to our leadership on-field ... we didn't stand up. We've spent a lot of time training those situations.
"There's obviously going to be times when we will slip up. That's footy, but I think we'll be in a better position than we were. It's both (strategic and mental).
"You've got to have the confidence to shut out a game and we didn't have that capability last year, so to see it happen in the last few weeks has been good for us."
Richmond's new captain is one of a number of Tigers who have never tasted success against the Blues.
Amazingly, Cotchin's seven matches against Carlton have all ended in defeat.
Carlton has won the past nine meetings between the two sides, dating back to Round 1, 2008.
"We're looking forward to the challenge. I think it's a very important game. It's the start of the season and we want to get off to a positive start," Cotchin said.
"We've had a good preparation, as has Carlton. It's Mick's first official game as coach and there's excitement around our side.

Its the fleet of indigenous fellows who rip us the most, most times.
If we play .2 ruckman in the 21 that slows our team down a lot.
Grimes. Rance. Chaplin. Pettard. Bachelor.
Griffiths.
Vickery. Reiwoldt. Maric.
Too small?

Grimes won't play, But regardless the rest are not ruckmen and Batch is comparatively short to the Blues players, Vicks and Jack will play forward not in the ruck and the others will play back.....sorry cant see your point.

Agree with the comments about Carlton's indigenous players. They are immensely talented and have a history of playing well against us. I am more concerned with who is going to match up against these players than with us having two ruckman in the side.

I think we've a long history of letting indigenous players playing well against us.
Even the skinny kid from the hawks had a field day during the preseason clash, he got the ball at will and had no opponent for most of the day. The kids got less definition than my youngest daughter.
Like I've said before we continually struggle to contain them but despite having an indigenous institute in our building, can't seem to find, develop or keep a decent aboriginal football star.
I'd like to see it as they seem to have the x-factor and add the excitement that I love about footy.

They're tipping rain next Thursday so don't be surprised if we go in a little short on the day. If it's dry the big 'O' could get a game.

Agree with the comments about Carlton's indigenous players. They are immensely talented and have a history of playing well against us. I am more concerned with who is going to match up against these players than with us having two ruckman in the side.
I think we've a long history of letting indigenous players playing well against us.
Even the skinny kid from the hawks had a field day during the preseason clash, he got the ball at will and had no opponent for most of the day. The kids got less definition than my youngest daughter.
Like I've said before we continually struggle to contain them but despite having an indigenous institute in our building, can't seem to find, develop or keep a decent aboriginal football star.
I'd like to see it as they seem to have the x-factor and add the excitement that I love about footy.
In our defence he would be close to the fittest player in the AFL, and I doubt we cared he was getting it

We really must come out in this game 100% switched on from the first bounce, when those players cross that white line a win must be the only thing on their minds. They need to hit the Blues players hard a run them off their legs..we must kick goals too. Point after point after point will not do in this game!!!

100% agree.
I will be shocked to see too much stupid media by players before this game.
Like the bummers v adelaide it was a must win by them a statement of sorts to set up the season.
This is a MUST win game!
It's imperative we start well!
It's critical we are first to the ball!
It's essential we stay focused!
It's crucial we maintain scoreboard pressure!
It's important we fight and fight to win, risking head & shin.
It's vital we don't lose!
It's obligatory we win for the fans!
.......No Excuses!!!!!
Carn the Tigers!
Eat 'Em Alive!

The Tigers get a chance to atone from what has become a bad run in their traditional Thursday night round one clash against Carlton this week, having not beaten the Blues on the occasion since 2008.
Cotchin said the team has worked on making amends.
"I think last year we just had a patch where we mentally let ourselves down," he said.
"We've got things in place that hopefully we can stop those sort of run ons from opposition teams because it is a game of momentum."

Carlton and Richmond approaching opening clash near full strength
Jon Ralph
From: Herald Sun
March 24, 2013 10:30PM
Richmond says Dustin Martin, who pulled up sore last week, will play against the Blues. Picture: George Salpigtidis Herald Sun
CARLTON and Richmond meet on Thursday with both teams almost at full strength, as the Tigers try to snap a nine-match losing streak against the Blues.
David Astbury (foot), Dylan Grimes (hamstring) and Nathan Foley (achilles) are the only Tigers unavailable for selection.
Foley is expected to return in Round 5-7 and Grimes is already playing in the VFL, while Astbury is still several weeks away from recovering from a foot stress fracture.
The Tigers said yesterday that Dustin Martin, who pulled up sore last week, would play against the Blues.
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse will have just Jarrad Waite (calf) out of his best line-up.
Richmond's nine-match losing streak includes four Round 1 contests and is the longest against Carlton since the Tigers lost their first 24 clashes to their arch rival from 1908 to 1917.

I believe the biggest factor we have in our favor is the Malthouse's newest game plan. The Blues are still getting used to the game plan and as such are keen to adhere to the strict instructions/rules revolved around it. This will cause them to second guess their natural instincts and hesitate more as they try and think through their actions rather than just play using the game plan as second nature.
I remember when Dimma first arrived and the young players were learning his new game plan. You could literally see them stop and think at times only to be swapped by tacklers or make a disposal errors. I'm expected the Blues to have the same problems but I'm not certain to what degree this will occur. For our sake, under the pressure of such a big game, I'm hoping it to a high degree.
Another potential positive is with predictability. Once every teams game plan is figured out through rudimentary opposition analysis every team can be predictable to different degrees. As their confidence grows though, teams adapt and deviate to suit circumstances. When players are first learning a new game plan though they are not confident to make game day changes themselves and so will stick to the team rules even when it obviously not working.
This is my biggest hope for the first game of the year because it will because less of a factor for them as the year progresses and given the strength of their list I believe we would have struggled once again without this factor.
I hope my prediction is sound because I'm utterly sick of losing to them scumbags

Think we will need to move the ball from the wings to the centre, WITHOUT turning it over, we must own the corridoor. They can keep the wings, Houli, Grigg, Batch must get that ball to Lids, Cotch, Martin, Conca ect..down the centre boys. Pressure the scum on the wings, have them turn it over and hurt them!!!!

i think its a fair call. Nothing fills me with confidence going into this game.
Forward structure still doesn't seem to be working. Jack reliant. Vickery out of sorts. Above all else we have failed on the big stage time and time again.
Maybe this will be different i just don't think so. That being said i think with winnable games to follow we will soon forget round 1 and be finals bound

Well then daniel, don't follow the game
Did the Bombers play the Crows with this attitude???
Did the supporters say no chance...
Honestly it's another season, different team, more experience, surely more optimism from the supporters wouldn't go astray.
But if you and others think a loss it that clear cut, then each to their own, I wouldn't be reading too much into how our forward line performed in the pre season, it was quite clear Jack was stuffing around for most of it.
Lets hope it is different, I know I am going to the game expecting to win, if we don't so be it, but I won't be going to the game expecting to lose otherwise I may as well stay at home and go for a ride, it's much cheaper!!!

It's definitely not a real positive outlook. It is realistic. We haven't beaten them for 4 years. Didn't say there was no chance of winning so stop making things up as usual dude. I'll be going off my nut in support of the boys on Thursday, but IMO they'll do us again. I think we've bridged the gap to them in terms of ability, but they have us mentally and they have a serious edge in winning the bigger games that we are yet to prove. Also think they've had a better lead-up.
Either way I'm not getting sucked into the hype of the importance of Round 1, it's a long long season and there will be disappointing losses along the way for every team. Prepare for it. Or chuck a spack, IDGAF

How is Grimes unavailable? Didn't the weirdo play for Coburg? Obviously he's not going to play after a 4 day break but he's not out injured, we can pick the lad if we want. Foley never plays anyway ;D

i hope he does play Warnock on Jack.. Jack will kick 10, but somehow i dont see ruckman being played in key defensive roles. It will be intersting to see if Malthouse plays the 3 rucks in Warnock, Hampson and Kreuser. i dont think he will as one of them will have to play Waite's role up forward. Wwhich none of them can.

Do you honestly think Mick Malthouse will put a player in a position that he would absolutely spud it up in, especially without any practice.
Oh and when you said "Where did I say put him back". You posted a quote about Carltons forward-line targets immediately after suggesting the big O to play. How do you think people would take it?

Then just have our ruckman drift forward to make their ruckman accountable, or just do the same as they do as see how it pans out. No need to bring the big O. No need to look out the box when usually theres an easier and more beneficial idea right inside it.

Fairytale for Blue unlikely
Jake Niall and Michael Gleeson
The Age
March 27, 2013
Troy Chaplin is the only newcomer certain to play for Richmond against the Blues, who are unlikely to select forward Sam Rowe for a fairytale return to senior football when they name the team for Thursday night.
The Blues appear set to select three talls with ruck/forward abilities - Matthew Kreuzer, Shaun Hampson and Levi Casboult - for the Victorian opener at the MCG, but Rowe, who missed most of last year after suffering from testicular cancer, is not likely to be picked, given that the Blues already have three talls who can play forward.
Richmond will pick 195-centimetre Chaplin, who will play alongside Alex Rance (194), with Ben Griffiths (200) also favoured to be selected in a tall back line designed to cover all options.
Richmond's first draft pick from 2012, Nick Vlastuin, is in the mix for selection, but another recruit, ex-Crow Chris Knights, has very little chance of playing on Thursday night.
The Richmond defence will have a different look compared with last year, since the club's most experienced player and defensive general, former skipper Chris Newman, has been playing almost exclusively on a wing during the pre-season.
Bachar Houli and Steven Morris have become regular smalls or runners among the Tigers' back six and 188-centimetre Jake Batchelor can play on either tall or smalls.
The Blues cannot consider the club-suspended Heath Scotland and their most potent key forward Jarrad Waite, who is recovering from a calf problem. The Tigers will be minus midfielder Nathan Foley and highly versatile defender Dylan Grimes.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said Richmond's depth meant good players were beginning to miss out on selection.
''That is something we have not had with regard to our depth. There
will possibly be some new faces, Troy is an obvious choice,'' he said.
Hardwick said pre-season had shown the Tigers were developing maturity by being able to play poorly and still win.
''That's what good sides do and that's what we're starting to become,'' he said.
''That is something our guys are starting to deliver, that steely resolve about getting over the line. I'm really glad Chris [Newman] put that on the agenda [that Richmond feared no other side], because it's time to step up.''
Richmond has not beaten Carlton in nine matches and has only once started the season with a win since these rivals became permanent round-one opponents in 2007.
The opening match carries enormous expectation for the Tigers.
''The best place to be is [where] expectations are high. That's where you get your best results,'' Hardwick said.
''We have put the pressure on our guys this year to march their way up the ladder - as have probably 17 other clubs.''
Hardwick said that while he expected Carlton's Chris Judd to be used more as a forward this year after spending pre-season in attack, he had no doubt the champion dual Brownlow medallist would be in the centre for the first centre bounce.

would be an absolute masterstroke playing warnock on riewoldt and something malthouse would do
*snort*
AGAIN did I say that....FFS, why wouldn't he have Warnock drift back and cut the leads off to Jack, or have a tall drift back to make us change our entry into the forward line...
We used Richo to drift back and play back and we did the same with Gayle...really look outside the box!!!
Then just have our ruckman drift forward to make their ruckman accountable, or just do the same as they do as see how it pans out. No need to bring the big O. No need to look out the box when usually theres an easier and more beneficial idea right inside it.
:lol :lol :lol :lol
try and respond accordingly next time please and focus on the discussion instead of riducule through icons!!!!
Tish boom.

If the Blues play 3 Ruckman, where does everyone think they will play?

We'll lose make no mistake, but I don't think it will be the difference between finals and oblivion
Gee Gerks thats not a real positive outlook, it's not even a realistic view IMO, it's just plain negative, no chance at all of winning eh, why don't we just forfeit, hope the players don't have this attitude... :huh
It's definitely not a real positive outlook. It is realistic. We haven't beaten them for 4 years. Didn't say there was no chance of winning so stop making things up as usual dude. I'll be going off my nut in support of the boys on Thursday, but IMO they'll do us again. I think we've bridged the gap to them in terms of ability, but they have us mentally and they have a serious edge in winning the bigger games that we are yet to prove. Also think they've had a better lead-up.
Either way I'm not getting sucked into the hype of the importance of Round 1, it's a long long season and there will be disappointing losses along the way for every team. Prepare for it. Or chuck a spack, IDGAF
Gerks, your comment.."We'll lose make no mistake", honestly, doesn't that say there is no chance of winning, thats how I read it..so not sure who is making things up mate!!
BTW, I don't get sucked into any hype, but I will be going there with the positive attitude that we will win!!
I read the comment as "We'll lost make no mistake" as that's what was written...
Near full strength despite missing two of our best players. :lol We should be able to cover them but stuff me full strength. Same goes for Carlton Waite would be close to their most important player. :lol
Two of our best missing = NEAR full strength. Some people just want journos to look like idiots even when they don't write something stupid
I wouldn't say that's near full strength. Missing a couple of ok players is near full strength. Missing your best KPD and one of your best clearance players isn't easy to replace. Unless they are going off the fact neither of them ever play. :lol
-
I think Losing Scotland will hurt them more than Waite. In previous encounters, a lot of Blues goals came through the likes of Betts, Armfield and Robinson. If we can contain these three, we should be more competitive.
In saying that, who should we play against these three?
I'd like to see Flossy on Robinson if he gets a start, Conca on Armfield and on Betts I have NFI. Morrie would be an option but Betts might show him for pace. Jake King started his career in the back pocket, he has the pace and the grunt to put pressure on him but this would be a highly unlikely option with our current setups.
-
I agree tiga. They load their forwardline with talls so they can bring it to ground for their small running forwards. My guess is that Morris will line up on Betts, Petterd perhaps on Armfield and Conca/Ellis on Robinson. Robinson is my worry.

That's the million dollar question tiga.
Armfield plays as a defensive half forward, he will tag one of our prime movers out of the backline likely Houli. When they get the ball he runs off his opponent so fast and has hurt us in the past bc we have shown him little respect. Should try and put Ellis onto him if this happens as Houli is a more important ball carry-er . The danger is Armfield can burn Ellis with pace, but Ellis is fit enough and runs long enough to keep armfield honest.
Robinson - I think Batchelor is a good matchup for him but he probably wont play. Is Petterd good enough? Would you expose Vlastuin in his debut game to such a high intensity player as Robinson?
Betts - Has to be Morris. Is our best matchup for small forwards period.
If garlett doesnt play its one less headache. If he does, who do we matchup on him?

Top test for Tigers
By richmondfc.com.au
9:16am AEDT Wednesday, March 27, 2013
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is under no illusion as to the magnitude of the task confronting his Tiger team in Thursday night’s blockbuster season-opener against the Mick Malthouse-coached Carlton at the MCG.
“There’s no bigger first-up test than Carlton, who have played some outstanding footy under Mick over the first three or four games (in the pre-season competition). It’s a big challenge for us, no doubt,” Hardwick said.
“They’re very different to what they were last year.

Midfield battle as always. Hopefully we can dominate the Bluebaggers around stoppages but their ruck division is solid particularly for our one ruck. They will take advantage of Vickery if he doesn't compete.
The weather and new rule will make it a slog at ground level too. In fact if anything any wet weather will suit their stoppage-based/boundary hugging game style rather than our corridors/precise disposal type. I'm praying it all clears up before the first bounce :pray
-
So its wet down there atm? I think I need to send down some of our 30 deg sunny days we have had this week up here in NSW. I agree Stripes, We really need a dry track first up. :pray
The praccie against the Doggies was in the wet wasn't it? Can anyone shed some light on the skills we displayed that day?

Eff this channel 7 coverage. Everything is apparently "unbelievable"
No it ain't.
-
Have a great night out there tiger supporters - lets hope its ripper.
Im nervous and hope we turn up all guns blazing.
Worried about their fleet footed brigade not so much their engine room which is bloody strong which we know anyway(murphy, Judd, Simpson Carazzo) but more the guys fwd of the ball like Armfield, Betts, Garlett, Walker, Lucas and Robinson. Its these types that usually have a night out against us. Morris on Betts, Batch on Robinson and Walker whichever is playing deeper, Houli on Garlett and Ellis on Armfield/Lucas. Hopefully Rance, Chaps and Griff keep Casboult and Hampson right out of it.
Go tiges!
-
Well done Vicks
-
This is a stuffing joke!
They better pull their fingers out
I will not tolerate a loss!!!!!!!
-
Amazingly we ended up level despite Cotch,Grigg hardly sighted.Worried about Griff and Batch down back.
Great to see Jack kick accurate when the pressure is on. ::)
Improved effort by Vickery
S.Edwards our best
Jackson great Kick to Vickery under no pressure. ::)
-
Could be 3 goals up without the posters.
Just got an inkling we have their measure
-
Well done Vicks
Is playing well. Presenting and clunking marks. Didnt like the look of his landing late that qtr, hopefully no damage.
Onto the game. What can you say? 2.9 to 3.3. Carlton looked all over us halfway through the qtr hitting us on the break, we fought back well and should have been a few in front by the end. 3 posters, miss a goal by a nano second on the siren. We've got to learn to take our chances, at one stage carlton had 4 possessions inside 50 for 3 goals 1.
-
Batch really standing up
-
the umpire was blind sided because Yarren's goal hit the padding on the front of the goal. Video ump should of over turned it.
Great Goal Dusty!
-
Got to say Jacko has played consistently well tonight so far....and.....Love McGuane's attack on the ball.....And can I just say that Nahas will put this scum to the sword when he comes on.
-
Stick it to 'em Tigers, we are back baby!
-
Stick it to 'em Tigers, we are back baby!
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!
-
I,m still nervous despite being 6 goals up. :pray
-
I,m still nervous despite being 6 goals up. :pray
C'mon CI, harden up
-
At this rate, 70 point win and Top of the Ladder :cheers......too soon :shh
-
I'm not a big drinker these days but might enjoy a few tonight....still a little nervous.
-
Back away from the celebrating, BACK AWAY!!! It's only half time a we are Richmond :help
-
Its at this point in the game where we need to be going for the jugular, not letting teams back in the game as we have had a tendency to do in the past. A margin of any less than 10 goals from here will be disappointing against a broken scum.
-
keep this up and we'll have 60k members by tomorrow lunchtime :rollin
-
Great to see Martin kick that goal after Yarran's not goal to give us back some momentum going into the 2nd half.
-
Back away from the celebrating, BACK AWAY!!! It's only half time a we are Richmond :help
Bartlett predicted a 96 point win ;).......but seriously they are effectively 2 down and Judd is already stuffed.....and one of their Key Backs is Bootsma....I thinks it's time...
-

Yeah no passengers, actually think Mcguane has been more than handy, has competed exceptionally. Jacko has played a low key type game, just doing the job which is great and what he should always be aiming to do. Tuck has been massive. Roo is looking really lively, this is what we want him to do, be mobile dont go for speccies in the pocket, when he plays like this dont give a poo if he doesnt kick goals bc he's creating them and space. Cotch and lids are all class. maric is having an impact and Batch, with one long raking 50 metre kick early in the second he suddenly found his confidence and played the way we expect him too. Smart, hard and impacting the game. Grigg was terrible to begin with but worked himself into the game well. Newman needs to get more involved and Ellis has been caught several times and then got exposed by Yarrans pace, needs to lift he's better than that.
It was great to see us run all over them that qtr and really boss them. lets put them to the sword this qtr
go tiges!
-
Should run over the top of them in the last.Stll have Nahas up our sleeve.
-
Happy to own up, have been slagging McG all pre season but he has competed very well tonight. Still doesn't have all the skill in the world but has done his job well.
-
Got challenged that qtr and when it got back to 20 points it looked like game on. There was a passgae of play that showed an area we have massively improved on under dimma. When it was 20 points, mcguane got the cheap goal from that ridiculous 50 and it was back out to 26 points. Then on the HFF on the southern stand wing, there were about 4-5 times we were smashed while we were trying to win the clearance but we rode the hits got a quick kick to the square where Kingy got a free. To see us physically wear it and outmuscle them was great to behold, thats what good sides do, they rest back momentum with big plays like that.
Lets now smash them in the last and get us some payback!
-
This is so familiar to a few games last year, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
-
if we lose our season is over. they need to hang on and get the 4 points. we cant lose we were 7 goals up for gods sake.
-
cotchin or deledio ... someone needs to respond.
-
Yesss!!!!!!
-
just took my own blood pressure hit 170/108 ... I need some BP tablets. At least we got the 4 points but geez they take years of our lives with performances like this.
-
Finally we win in R1 but bloody hell did we let them right back in it. Really we was lucky to win that because Yarren 9 out of 10 times would of made that running goal from 30 metres.
-
cotchin or deledio ... someone needs to respond.
Still the same old same old.Left to too few and when they are covered we are 2nd rate.
Must admit my man Ivan had a shocking last qtr.
But 4 pts is 4pts i guess.
-
I thought we were good for 1 1/2 quarters and we were diabolical for the first 15 minutes of the game and the last half. Every club in the comp will fancy their chances against us even if we are well infront. We still need 1 or 2 superstars to become a decent outfit.
-
FINALLY! Geez they are cutting my life short with these hair raising games1
Carlton had nothing to lose in the last, they took all the tags off and went all out attack, they nearly pulled it off but it didn't work.

We have a few nervous nellies thats for sure.Griffiths i'm afraid just hasn't got it at AFL level as a backman.Time for the coaching staff to send him back to coburg as a foward before his confidence is totally shot.Morris for all is guts has been found out with this new sliding rule and has not much to compensate for it.Rance still attacks the ball at 100mph when at times he should just wait.Conca i'm not sure what he brings to the table to be honest while Ellis is abit in the same boat.Big positive was Vickery,s game and the continued good form of Edwards.Dimma will happy we got away with the 4pts but we still have a way to go really.
-
Relief ...had to turn the tv off for the final 3minutes.
so happy to see richo interviewing cotch when I finally had the guts to turn the telly back on.
Btw I hate you Brian Taylor....you are there to commentate not barrack .
-
I better check the mirror, I think I might be as grey as Mick Malthouse after that.
Our best is breathtaking, but they tired badly. More match fitness and a few hopefully easier games in the next couple weeks will see us turn those half time leads into 15 goal wins.
The forward line was good, it worked well. Griffiths... he's lucky Hampson can't kick. Batch was good, he is a 'real' game performer, he looks ordinary during pre-season but can step it up in the regular season. Nahas, didn't look like he wanted to come on and played like it.
Vickery was a massive positive. Great game.
And McGuane :bow match winner and played a half decent game.
-
Go, just got home from the game, we were stuffed in the end, just tired....glad for a win... Great game we loved it!

the likes of Ellis and Conca and even (Vlastuin who didnt play today) are not superstars but they are important because they provide the substance as foot soldiers. For me, we need to see the likes of Petterd and Vlastuin come into the team.
-
I don't care what anyone says at the club. The plan that has Cotchin kicking out in clutch situations is BS. He should always be at the foot of a kick-out. Where was Deledio and Newman in that last quarter????? In those final centre bounces we had Eddo and Jacko in the guts?????Well done Dusty and others including Luke and Jacko. Ellis was soft tonight. He had better harden up or Flossy will take his spot.
-
Yarran, Betts and Garlett sliced us up once we tired badly. I didn't even know Garlett was playing until the 4th quarter.

From a psychological viewpoint tonight's result was massive, a loss under circumstances similar to others last season could create mental barriers that could linger with this group for a number of seasons. Yes we should have won the game by 10 goals which in itself is a disappointment but just the fact we won a close encounter is a positive. I got the feeling that in the last quarter the mental demons this group carries came to the forefront and it was this mental barrier especially against the Blues which then translated into pure physical fatigue. It was quite clear that we had stopped to a walk halfway through the last quarter. They will learn from this and with this game out of the way i think their minds will be much clearer and physically we shouldn't see the same sort of fade out as we saw tonight.
In terms of team structure i think Grimes when fit will be an invaluable acquisition to the team with Griffiths needing to be replaced as he is clearly not a natural defender. He definitely needs time spent back at Coburg as a forward which is where his future lies, trying to turn him into a defender was always a risk and tonight he was clearly short of the mark.
A win is a win and 4pts are invaluable, overall a number of boxes were ticked tonight, a lot more need to be ticked in the coming weeks but the graph is moving upward which at least is in the right direction.

I don't care what anyone says.
I'm gonna enjoy this win and I'm going to let every arrogant blue bastard I know all about how poo they are!
Drinks everyone. Enjoy your night.

Celebrations. :birthday
Don't let those pricks steal your enjoyment!

From a psychological viewpoint tonight's result was massive, a loss under circumstances similar to others last season could create mental barriers that could linger with this group for a number of seasons.

From a psychological viewpoint tonight's result was massive, a loss under circumstances similar to others last season could create mental barriers that could linger with this group for a number of seasons. Yes we should have won the game by 10 goals which in itself is a disappointment but just the fact we won a close encounter is a positive. I got the feeling that in the last quarter the mental demons this group carries came to the forefront and it was this mental barrier especially against the Blues which then translated into pure physical fatigue. It was quite clear that we had stopped to a walk halfway through the last quarter. They will learn from this and with this game out of the way i think their minds will be much clearer and physically we shouldn't see the same sort of fade out as we saw tonight.

Great win .We should have well and truly buried them early.Appalling kicking early with 4 posters in the 1st told the tale.
Thought jacko was good,Dusty early was excellent as was Lids.
Rance was brilliant all night and truly believe this kid is bordering on elite
As for Cotch what can one say.This kid is amazing.I saw him perform an almost clinical tackle on an opponent that gave his opponent no chance.The frightening thing about cotch is that his curve is still going up.
OOps forgot TY....welcome back son we have missed you

Was a great win, beat some demons and its the 1st time in years i've left the ground after round 1 with a smile. Yeah we got tired and we have heaps of improvement. But stuff me when we were on, we looked awesome.
We are still a young squad compared to Carlton so we'll only get better in comparison. For 3 qtrs we kicked their arse.

Thank gawd for that :phew
First 20 mins we were flat and nervous. Blues got behind our lines far too easily and were doing what they liked on the spread. It felt like 'here we go again' :-\.
Then from time on first quarter to half-time we were absolutely brilliant. 9 of the 10 goals in that period in the end won us the game.
3rd quarter intensity dropped away and it looking like we were just going through the motions and lifting only after they scored a goal. Dangerous to think the game is won sitting on a 6 goal lead.
Stopped to a walk in the last and failed to maintain possession and control the tempo :help. We know how to nearly give heart failure to every Tiger supporter :P but thankfully we hung on and we all went nuts in the stands ;D :thumbsup.
ps. Good to catch up with RR at half-time :cheers.

There was a Carlton fan who yelled
"Like the tigers of old" at least 3 times in the last q as they kept coming
So come siren time from point blank range I said go back to lalor you silly wog your team is poo"
Problem was I was peeed and he was an Aussie and I'm the wog

Happy to own up, have been slagging McG all pre season but he has competed very well tonight. Still doesn't have all the skill in the world but has done his job well.
Apology accepted ;D

Nahas, didn't look like he wanted to come on
In his defense he was probably told he would not be going on yet. And how it is with these days with medics, sports scientists etc. he was probably told not to warm up yet.
Ellis was soft tonight. He had better harden up
Also in Ellis' defense, he put his head over it a few times but his just not AFL standard yet.
Problem was I was peeed and he was an Aussie and I'm the wog
Don't say that to loud WP might ban you ;)

And to the Carlton fan in the AFL members that was losing his poo at every free kick. "suffer mate" :lol
The umps sure helped the Carlton comeback along in the last qtr though ::) :banghead. McGuane's free near the end is the only one I remember us getting in the last quarter whereas the Blues got everything. I thought the throw-in rule was the ruckman only got pinged for deliberate if he punches the ball out of bounds on the full? Then there was Judd's two-handed throw standing up in the tackle, Joseph taking possession and then waiting to be tackled while making no attempt to get rid of the footy, plus the numerous run-down tackles that were called play on despite the Carlton just simply dropping the ball while the one time it happened to us it was given holding the ball ::). Almost caused a riot in the Ponsford when the latter one happened.

Loved the win but Im thinking Im getting too old to suport this Club. They are going to be the death of me in the end.

I'll take a win every day of the week but if you look back to last year you'll see that we continually started and finished games poorly and our best quarter was inevitably the 2nd. So tell me what is going on there and who is to blame?

You can add to that the non-free to Nahas when he'd just been subbed on and was cannoned into the back while waiting under a hospital pass. And Vickery being absolutely raped by three C

I actually made a profit on it when I sold the stock from the internet shop. Second when I got the link put up on OER I actually offered to pay OE and the owners of this site for the priviledge. Im sure they will confirm that is the case.
As for being a Failed OER troll thats fine, your posts - your posts come over like you have some sort of great hatred and that my posts have for some reason troubled you. Anyway, I guarantee you if you saw a couple of the IMs I have received about your post - anyway lets just say theres more than a few people in here who think your a complete flog who cant control his emotions.
And thats putting it lightly. Anyway, good luck to you, hope your life gets better coz your posting seems pretty miserable. Let me ask you one question - do you have anything or anyone in your life? coz you come across as being pretty lonely. Anyway, Good luck in life. Hope things work out for you.

You can add to that Nahas receiving no free after being cannoned into waiting under a hospital pass, and Vickery being scragged by three Cartoon defenders. The green mongrel took ages to reward that tackle to McGuane too. An obvious free, but he didn't want to pay it.

Yep. Good to catch up with you MT. Been a little while. I bet neither of us saw the near-heartreak that was coming in that last term when we were so far up at half-time. Still, it wouldn't be Richmond if they didn't take you to the edge of your nervous system would it? ;)

We'll lose make no mistake, but I don't think it will be the difference between finals and oblivion
Looks like there was a mistake......on your behalf..

Played it perfectly, you're all welcome. You didn't think I was serious did you? How nice I'm the first thing you think of in the morning after a Tiges win. :birthday

Should have put them away when we were 6 goals up.This rd 1 game was a mental hoodoo for us to breake as we always failed with the pressure going in to it and went to water.I'm not happy how we let them back in the game .but it was good to breake the ice that's important.

I agree with Mighty Tiges, they got away with a lot of throwing, tackles not paid against em, outright dropping the ball particularly early on in that run when they clawed back in the last quarter and the score line flatters them. This game has been the biggest thorn in our paw for years, the thorn is out, sky is the limit.

Happy to get the four points.
Luck in the end was ours.
Martin for fe was sensational in the last few minutes.
As I said happy to beat the scum.
Ran out of puff but that 2nd quarter was the best quarter of footy I have seen from a Tigervside in many years. Time to refocus and reinvigorate for next week. Bring on the boys from Franga next week.
-
Geez wee pooed ourselves again in the last, but i'll take a falling over the line win over a loss everyday of the week. As my brother pointed out, it makes it a bit sweeter seeing the scum supporters get their hopes up and getting all excited only to be totally deflated.
Early in the game carlton managed to split us open a number of times, simpson in particular was finding space, but we managed to shut this down. It was particularily satisfying to see carlton struggle to move the ball forward, while listening to the scum supporters behind us constantly moaning about how easily we were moving the ball out of defense.
Ive been an advocate for grithiffs down back, but from what i saw last night, i would have to agree with the comments about him not being a natural backman. He does ok in pack situations, but one on one he would often be in the wrong position allowing his opponent easy marks. He also seems to lack the ability to make the late spoil, somthing all good backmen can do.
Chaplin, i thought, was important. He takes controll of the backline and in the third when the filth kicked three quick goals he settled the players around him, pointing out what they should be doing and providing that experienced calming influence that we have lacked when the opposition get a run on. When he went off injured early in last it coincided with carlton really getting on top of us.
I liked the way the 'softie' hit the packs, specially when robinson got sorted out.
Jackson was ok last night. I can tolerate that sort of performance, but he will always be slow of mind. I think it is just a pipe dream that someone like arnot can push him out, but if guys can put pressure on with consitent performance at coburg .......... perhaps ...........
Nice to travel the length of the country to beat the filth, for a change.

What an amazing second quarter. And to the Carlton fan in the AFL members that was losing his poo at every free kick. "suffer mate" :lol
:lol which one?
Wernt near m23 by any chance?
Its not just opposition supporters who believe that only their team should get free kicks...
The umps sure helped the Carlton comeback along in the last qtr though ::) :banghead. McGuane's free near the end is the only one I remember us getting in the last quarter whereas the Blues got everything.

Almost caused a riot in the Ponsford when the latter one happened.
We had the better of the umpiring most of the night. I still cant work out how morris ( i think) got the free kick when he hit betts front on in a marking contest.
-
Yep Chappy is an important part of the puzzle down back for sure, thought he provided a lot of steadiness down there. Griffs looks like a giant that needs to be be leading up and sending that ball deep, not playing from behind and trying to chip out of defence...it was bizarre to watch.., he is a forward no two ways about it. The other thing I didn't like to see was, and I know he had an alright game, but McGuane spoiling in the forward line down to Carlton players instead of trying to mark, especially early on, drove me nuts.
Al, I thought the umpiring was ok most of the night, they let a lot of stuff slide which was actually ok coz it was iffy, fourth quarter I thought they were letting a lot of throwing go though, and not paying tackles, to me, tackles, and throwing are important aspects otherwise we aren't playing football and rewarding effort.
-
Having just watched the replay again the reality is we were leading pretty comfortably with about 10 minutes to go. Maric made 2 big mistakes that cost us goals. 1) He dropped a mark in our defensive Goalsquare and they kicked a goal 2) At a ruck contest he tapped the ball straight down to a Carlton player from which they got goal, maybe a hit away from the contest would have cleared the area. Carlton also got extremely lucky with atleast 1 kick into there 50 which fell into the arms of a Carlton player from which I think they goaled. We on the other hand had a couple of opportunities at about the same time to kick goals but missed. Some of these things made the difference to it being a close game. On reflection with a bit of luck we should have won by more so it was good to get the 4 points anyway.
-
Was a fantastic win.
Hopefully from a "mental strength" side of things it will instill some much need belief
I thought we were good for 1 1/2 quarters and we were diabolical for the first 15 minutes of the game and the last half. Every club in the comp will fancy their chances against us even if we are well infront. We still need 1 or 2 superstars to become a decent outfit.
I agree with the first 15 minutes, thought we were flat and lost. reckon the 2nd qtr was some of the best footy with regard to defensive pressure and attack at the footy I've seen for a long time. Thought the 3rd qtr was OK but Carlton got some soft goals from just stupid over use of handball in the back half. And the last qtr was definitely diabolical. Carlton should never been allowed to get back into the contest. Smart coaching by the Silver Fox though, throwing all his runners in the middle or across half back. Sliced us up big time. Was surprised whe they got within 3-4 goals we didn't throw Lids, Cotch and Tuck in the middle at the same time
The umps sure helped the Carlton comeback along in the last qtr though ::) :banghead. McGuane's free near the end is the only one I remember us getting in the last quarter whereas the Blues got everything. I thought the throw-in rule was the ruckman only got pinged for deliberate if he punches the ball out of bounds on the full?
Based on the way I understand the rule I thought the Maric decision was 100% correct, yes if it goes out on the full it's a free kick but in that case it was clear his sole intent was to get it over the line so it was a free. Actually all me needed was one Tiger player to touch it and it would have been another throw in

i thought the same thing.
Thought Nahas should have come on a bit earlier as it was obvious we were running out of legs. But watching Dennis able to chase him down running down the wing late was a worry. Nahas was being caught at a rate of knots and he did his stupid little dinky outside of the boot kick that went along the ground. was disappointed with that effort after coming on with fresh legs. Still no left foot.

Very well said owl.

We should have had them buried by 3/4 time.Our kicking for goal last night was horrible.
But as is always the case when you dont bury the opposition at some point they will bounce back and they did.
I give no credit to carltons good play but rather our sloppiness

Benny must do something about this issue.
We've practically funded the MCG redevelopment since our move there and they treat us like this.
It's time we flexed our muscle and told the AFL, the MCC and all other clubs that its our end and you can pee off down to the city end home game or not!
Bloody discrace I had to put up with their poo last night. Get the stuff off our ground!

Liked his impersonation of billy salters kick to the face also!

Finally beat the cheats, 'twas a good night :gotigers

I just want to say that its bloody peeweak that the scum cheersquad was allowed down our beloved punt rd end.
Benny must do something about this issue.
We've practically funded the MCG redevelopment since our move there and they treat us like this.
It's time we flexed our muscle and told the AFL, the MCC and all other clubs that its our end and you can pee off down to the city end home game or not!
Bloody discrace I had to put up with their poo last night. Get the stuff off our ground!
I was right next to them in M5 and they were really quiet last night. Forgot they were there actually :lol
Probably coz they were outnumbered 20 to 1 in the surrounding bays. They fear us. We were back to our arrogant best last night. stuff yes. Get around us. :clapping
Yes tigs that is what I loved. Was in their faces all night and boy they hated it. They fumed and said nothing. There is a real fear of us.
Loved telling them how their coach will be getting a pension along with half a dozen of their "better flogs" and they will be wallowing in the depths of what might be.
Cotchin= Brownlow and flag
Judd= football mercenary
Even after the game, hamming it up and telling them how good it is to beat them.
I could see the fear and the pain in their eyes and the acceptance of failure in their body language and the fact they were silent.
Eternal failure and misery to that footy club.

The replay is being shown on Fox now (started at 2pm).

You're a jerk but a knowledgeable jerk. :clapping ;D
The looks I was getting as I was jumping and fist pumping was like I'd killed their favourite pet. :lol
Guy next to me was one of those Carlton supporters who never goes to the footy and probably decided he'd go to see an easy win. Didn't even know there was video reviews in AFL. :lol :rollin
I thought I leapt out of my seat when the siren went, shoulda seen this bloke. Was the only one spared abuse because I didn't see him leave. Batman style. :lol

Inexcusable that we didn't win by 10 goals

Bring on the boys from Franga next week.

must win next week to get the momentum really up and running. if we can get to 2-0 then I can see us rolling through this season and well into the finals.

What sucks is that we'll probably win by the lowest margin this round and won't even end the round in the 8 :banghead

Agree with Ramps (after watching the replay and Owl).
Some great posts on the game, the reality is that we won the game and overcame a huge obstacle in our development.
Round 1 2009 was the worst day I have had at the football and I reckon that list of shockers from our club has plenty of competition to get to the top of it.
Just reading Nathan Browns comments the other day made me realise it was a similar impact to that playing group.
I know all the horse poo clubs say about creating their own history but last night was a massive, massive step forward for the club, the coaches and the playing list.
The only watch out is this idea that Hardwick and the coaching panel struggle to change course with our game plan when the opposition all of a sudden gets on a roll.
Anyways, who cares? We got the choccys
We are a classic middle of the road list jostling for position in the top half of the 8.
One down with one to come this Friday night.
The marketers might have it right, the tiger might actually be stirring this time.
As for Carlton?
Hmmmm, Denis Pagan just be getting a little twitchy watching Micky at his press conference last night.
He knows too well that coaches that continue for an extra stint end up losing their aura pretty quickly in this competition.
-

Think he was referring to the fact that will most likely be ninth after this rd and I'm sure some of the media will find that amusing

After the win Thursday night, the TAB have us coming in from $26 into $21 to win the flag. Centrebet have us equal 6th favourite at $15 with Carl, Ess and Adel.

Great post, the Tiger is indeed stirring. I am looking forward to the day when the club is hated and feared.
But this is Malthouse's fourth stint as a coach, I wouldn't write the blues off just yet.

Sorry, bit off subject here but, I am thinking of going to the Lions, Dogs game today with my son, can you buy tickets at the gate?

yes

Negatives:
I noticed some of the boys with pre season form went missing.
Ellis had a shocker. Lets hope he bounces back because I like the kid.
Houli was way down on his preseason output.
Martin, although he was excellent in bursts, it was an overall disappointing game from him.
On other players that were down on the night;
As MT noted earlier I agree that Maric didnt have his best game. His clearence work was good but he had No contested marks, he didnt drop back much in defense and when he did he failed to make an impact there highlighted by some crucial errors ie. the dropped mark in the goalsquare and the failed punch when Kruzer marked the ball in the pocket.
I thought newmans was serviceable but I didn't notice him at all especially in that frenetic last quarter when the blues were on a roll. As the most senior player in our team and former captain I think he needs to show the team that he really wants finals footy. A finals like game as thursday night was I would've expected more from him especially in that last quarter. No inside 50s from him or any scoreboard influence at all. I'd expect him to improve and although he's no Judd, I still expect some Judd like cameos just to display some of his experience and leadership.
As good as Lids was with his run and carry, his goals on the run etc. he did go missing in the last quarter. I'm guessing these senior players did run out if legs in the last and I'd expect that their endurance won't be a problem as the season progresses.
Griff made Hampson look good which was annoying.
Nahas was terrible. He failed to have any impact as the sub.
A sub should always have an impact IMO.
Also It was frustrating that at times Judd was completely lonely in the second half and killed us. Walker was getting too many easy kicks and no one was interested in Gibbs in the last quarter where he was killing us with his skill and poise just seemed to rack up possessions at will.
The fact that we let them nearly pinch the game. Hopefully maturity and self belief will help the guys smash teams and put them right out of the game.
I'm not angry upset or frustrated at all. I was celebrating all night Thursday night and I loved the win even though we let em come back.
I'm still celebrating and won't be letting up on any cheating scum supporters that I know or meet.

Tucky interviewed on Crocmedia:
* The contested ball in the first half I think we were 19 up or something like that and clearances we were nine up, so we were really good there. We fell away at the last bit there, but it seems to be a game where you win the contested ball and you win the clearances then you win the game. I don’t know where we finished in the end, but we need to concentrate on those two things, even the tackles as well.
* Fit enough? I think we are. I don’t know, they just pushed a bit harder than us at the last bit there. Maybe a few guys just thought we had the win, because we were 36 points up at three quarter time. So maybe guys just eased off the pedal a little bit.

Tony, in 1995 we played St Kilda in round 2 and beat them by 26 points at Waverley. I would take lightning striking twice next Friday night with a 26 point win. :pray :gotigers :thumbsup

Loving the haters in the media over the past two days - "Oh they almost blew it!" or "They were lucky to win in the end" or "If Yarran and Hampson had kicked those goals then blah blah blah". I sense fear of a rising Richmond! :yep ;D.
The only detailed review of the game from a Richmond perspective on the radio I've really heard was surprisingly from Dermie today. Apart from mucking up Griffs surname, he stuck to commentating on the game rather than the cheapshots above. He made the point that on Thursday night, Dusty supported Cotch as far as the class in our centre midfield that sits 2m off the ball at a stoppage before using their ballwinning ability and acceleration over the first 5m to break clear and get the ball moving forward our way. In the first half Dusty killed it and our centre midfield smashed Carlton in the clearances. After half-time Dusty tired as he's still only 21 y.o. and hasn't developed the endurance that a Cotchin has and so Dusty couldn't get near it. So we were down to just Cotch in that role and Carlton started to get on top. It makes you think if we had Foley available or even say played young Vlastuin on Thursday night to rotate through that role if we would've dropped away in winning the clearances so badly in the last quarter.

and if we had kicked all the goals that hit the post and if McG had converted at the end and if Yarrans goal wasn't allowed because it hit the post etc etc
We won end of story. We probably didn't flog them because of the hoodoo demons and the fact that its round 1 and most teams are underdone
-
Oh yes I forgot to mention that the tackles were far too low for a suspected potential finals team.
We really need to up the intensity and pressure.
Our tackles count must be atleast in the top eight clubs and maintain this throughout the season.

As this may be true 40 tackles in a whole game is unexeptable. I'd expect an average of 60-70 tackles per game.
-
Worry about it if it's pee poor after 10 games. That's a normal tackle count for a game a team dominated in and faded in the end. Tackles aren't a very good indicator for winning sides anyway.
-
What I know is that winning teams make grand finals, losing teams don't.

Griggy was interviewed on the Sunday Footy Show:
* Good to get the 4pts in the bank. In previous years we've felt we've been chasing tail after losing round 1. So good to be ahead of the ledger at 1-0.
* Browny said people will now be looking at Richmond and whether they can back up Thursday night's win with another win. Griggy replied we've already done the review of the Carlton game and are moving onto the Saints this Friday night and looking at how they played against the Suns.
* There were positives and negatives to take out of Thursday night. We did fade away so we'll look at our defensive side of the game. Carlton are a hard side to stop when on a roll (Lloydy said the Blues were playing Russian roulette footy in the 2nd half and that's not sustainable over the year to get them into the finals). Grigg said we couldn't get our hands on it in the clinches in the last quarter. The positive from the night is what we did to get 7 goals in front in the first place.
* They asked Griggy about his days at Carlton. He replied he had some very good coaches and left for the opportunity to play week in week out. He couldn't have left for the money as Lids takes a huge chuck of it lol.

One thing of concern is our kicking for goal. If we had been kicking well we would have buried the game. Good to see Vickery came out and had a good game after a quite pre season

Should be allowed I reckon. Lloyd almost took Shed's head off a few years ago. On the lead with Shed coming back with the flight, big Lordo comes at pace with a boot in the air and Edwards shat himself and pulled out. Would have ruined his face had he jumped into it

Agree. You've been allowed to protect yourself with your leg/foot/knee in a marking contest since day dot. Gimpy McLean should have pulled up and let Vick take an uncontested mark if he didn't want a size 12 in the throat. Not Vicks problem.

Mclean is a park footballer at best. He is the worst thing I have ever seen in the AFL and that includes Jack Riewoldt's hair. I reckon "Roar Passion" would be of more use for Carlton

Houls got a wrap from Lingy for making nothing of it
I'm glad we don't have any stagers – the odd head throw back, dropping of the knees or falling forward to accentuate or milk free kicks that are there are fine, it's the soccer style crap that is unacceptable IMO
