Richmond V Carlton Round 1

[Hellenic Tiger]

Lets not get carried away.
Carlton since 2007 has always been a barometer to our season.
Positive is we have genuine hype and a young team doing all the right things.
I am feeling very positive about our future.

Carlton are unfit in comparison.

This is how or why we could win.

[Dubstep Dookie]

There is more than hope for once. We are a good chance.

[WA Tiger]

Without under estimating the opposition (who deep down I think are overated anyway) I honestly think Carlton are going into round one a little underdone.

Have they even managed to play their full squad yet??

Judd might of burned the training track up but how have him, Murph, Giggs, McLean, Carazzo gone......I know Kruz went ok in one game, but gee they seem off it so far...

Ox is onto it, thats what I think too...

I know I am supposed to be "quasi" banned

But in answer to your question the answer is NO

But Gibbs was on Ch7 news this evening and said they would playing their strongest possible team this week minus Jamieson who's still injured

Blues underdone for opener against Tigers

WIDELY touted as a premiership contender, Carlton could limp into the new season with three key players under injury doubts.

Half-back Jeremy Laidler (knee), already ruled out for the first two or three rounds, could be joined on the sidelines by full-back Michael Jamison, ruckman Robbie Warnock and forward-midfielder Andrew Walker.

With the Blues' first premiership match of the season just 15 days away, the high-profile trio are running out of time to be fit to play against Richmond under lights at the MCG.

My God WP what did I say in my other post.........underdone.....mate my preseason is going great

[Willy]

Apparently Jamo is 50/50 to play against us. At best, he is going to be very underdone. Good news for us because he is critical to their defensive structure.

Better watch out for this fella!

[Stripes]

I'm finding it hard to force myself to believe we have any chance at all particularly given the Blues have improved their midfield lineup from last year. Their injuries and converse preseason form  compared to ourselves have my hopes soaring but this game has a tendency of smashing my expectations every single year! God I hope we can laugh in those Carlton supporters faces this year 

[Mr Magic]

Better watch out for this fella!

Yep that fella looks to be back. Must play at CHF.

[10 FLAGS]

I hope all of carltons underdone players play in r1.

[Smokey]

I hope they're all fighting fit and we still smash them.  Give the cheating pr1cks no excuses except karma's a bitch.

KEY Carlton defender Michael Jamison indicated yesterday he was unlikely to play in the opening round against Richmond.
