CARLTON has suffered a major blow ahead of its Round 1 clash with Richmond with four key players -- Andrew Walker, Michael Jamison, Nick Duigan and Robbie Warnock -- being ruled out today.

Blues football operations manager Andrew McKay confirmed that all four will miss the Tigers' game on March 29, leaving the club without at least five of its best 22.

The quartet will join Jeremy Laider, who suffered a knee injury in the NAB Cup game against the Western Bulldogs, on the sidelines.

But despite the losses the injury-ravaged Blues remain $1.30 favourites with TAB Sportsbet, while the Tigers are at $3.45 to win.

Rhett is an unemployed first year PE teacher.

Not a bad one either.

 

But no, not my son.

$3.45 is a great pay day.

Depending on what the filth do with Nought we may be around $2 by the time Thursday week arrives.

Let's just keep a lid on things.

After some advice guys...
For the first time, signed up me and my 7 year old son as members... (If for no other reason to force me to turn up for the home matches)...
For the match against Carlton I have a couple of questions:

a) Is there a risk that GA members can't get in...
b) What will the seating be like for GA members...
c) Is it worth upgrading?

Cheers guys...

Great stuff Ace and welcome aboard OER

a)  It depends on the crowd obviously. If the bandwagon pushes the crowd above 80-85k+ then there's a risk. Sometimes the AFL will say in that situation that the game's ticketed so people don't get locked out.
b) A 80k+ crowd usually means back of the top deck of the Southern Stand or Ponsford Stand unless you get there when the gates open (3 hours early). If you don't care about a seat you can always stand at the back on the ground level. Join the ferals at the back behind the Richmond end goals. When I go by myself I stand with some people I know at the bay one over from the grog squad. Good fun with the chanting although the language at times might be not suitable for a 7 year old  .
c) If you would like the same guaranteed seat every week and the convenience of being able to turn up to the 'G at the last minute without having to worry about finding a seat then it's worth it I guess. Of course it costs more so that's a personal decision.

c)

The upgrade from a RFC membership to a reserved seat (for the Carlton match) is only $14.35.

There were seats left on level 1 of the Southern stand (RFC cheer squad end) or the Ponsford stand (with the scum followers).

Car park fills up prettyy quick so public transport is the way to go.

Apart from the 88k for Cuz's first game, the average crowd for round 1 has been between 70-75k so there's still been plenty of room for GA. Once the crowd gets to or above 80-85k then the GA sections fill up quickly.

Petrie has kicked 7 goals against the Blues today. No Jamieson really leaves a big hole in the Carlton's defence. A fit and firing Jumpin' Jack is awaiting them in round 1  .

[Eat_em_Alive]

Unleash carnage on the filth!
Blues supporters are still quite confident though from the ones I've spoken too
Some of which have told me not to turn up unless I want to be dissapointed again 

In my eyes this game is 50/50 until its won

[smasha]

Need every lung at the game.

Need to bring the BS chant back.

Get into em.
