Richmond vs Carlton - round 1, 2013

[mightytiges]

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.

Too late now. At least if Carlton start getting on top I can feed the in laws to the Richmond cheer squad behind the goals

Pretty sure Carltank cheersquad is punt rd end this year

They were last season for MCG home games

When I purchased our reserved seats; selected "Away team" area and it came up with the Ponsford Stand  So N33 right behind the goals for us

I'll be on a plane to Chiang Mai.

What are the chances of Malaysian airlines showing the game live?

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.

If only people had got back to me the day before I could have booked better seats

If we were still playing the pies in round 1 there would've been 90k at this game no problems.

Carltank fans just don't show up to this game, we always outnumber them home or away.

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 

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/rnd-1-carlton-vs-richmond-mcg-28th-march-7-45pm.993517/

some highlights if you will: 

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?

Apparently we had no injuries and our best side on the park when we played them last time.
