Round 1: Richmond Vs Carlton

[Mr Magic]

Carlton forward line is an abortion. if we cannot beat these wackos i will cry

How good is our defence?

Weakened or not Carlton will start favourites.

[Smokey]

Weakened or not Carlton will start favourites.

Good.

[mightytiges]

Our task will be to contain Carlton's small forwards and half-forwards because once again today they were the only avenue to goal for the Blues. 14 goals but only 3 of them kicked by talls. SEN had Carlton fans at half-time wanting Ratten sacked by the Blues were crabbing around the boundary line.

Goals: E Betts 3 M Robinson 2 C Yarran 2 L Henderson 2 A Carrazzo S O'hAilpin H Scotland K Simpson C Judd

Nope, you will be fine.

Just go to the gate and scan the barcode on your membership card and you'll be in. 

They are just saying it in case the game sells out before the night, as you will then not be able to get entry, but in my opinion it definitely will not sell out this year.

This is the Carlton squad for their last practice match. Take out Judd who is suspended for round 1 and a couple of fringe players it'll be pretty close to their would-be 22 for round 1.

Wow and what about our changes??????

[Hellenic Tiger]

Carlton have lost their last NAB Challenge game to the Crows by a point to end a not so fruitful pre season with a solitary win over the Lions.

Of the talls O'Halpin kicked 3 and Waite kicked 1.
Here's to that struggle continuing against us come round 1.

Scum 11 16 82  Crows 12 11 83

Good luck to them relying on Sentanta being their main key forward. He's very good at kicking behinds .

All through the preseason the Blues have had to rely on their small forwards and mids pushing forward to kick goals. If we turn up to play this time around and not get stagefright  we'll be in with a definite show. Up to us to apply enough pressure across the whole ground.

While I am not feeling too confident at all about the season I think we are a real chance for this first game.

Should come down to two young midfields against each other. Can't wait to see how Lids, Cotch and Martin go against Murphy and Gibbs.

Yep Carlton are ripe for the taking. It's whether our young side can have a night out to exploit it. For our sake I hope we've got a bad couple of weeks out of the way and a good one is due next Thursday night week.

Dont think Carlton think so,
Seen Robert Harvey walk out and not return 5 mins in the 3rd quarter

[Mr Magic]

I think we are too even if I don't expect to win.

I don't read too much into today's game at all.
Hardwick is still getting to know players strengths and weaknesses and solidifying game plans.
It is VERY early days people.
