Did anyone hear Jordan Russel talking about how good our forward line is with Reiwoldt, Vickery and Miller ! Do you think they forgot to check out the team's list for this week???

No.  Do I think they aren't so stupid to miss the bleeding obvious and make amends for what we say publicly?  No.  Do I think that all clubs are just a tad smarter than the average supporter and use the media to the maximum advantage?  Absolutely.  Get a grip for God's sake.

Whoa back there captin underpants, to state the bleeding obvious my comments were all tounge in cheek! Im sorry you were to stupid to pick that up. Maybe you need to become a tad smarter than the average poster and use this forum to your maximum advantage, I would say by the sound of things you allready have a fairly goood grip of it.....

A massive difference in age and experience between us and the Blues. That's why I don't think today will be pretty to watch  . Sadly we are going to have to wait 2-3 years before we can start getting some of our own back  .

Carlton
30: Scotland
29: Houlihan
28: Waite
27: Carrazzo, Judd, Simpson, Thorton
25: Walker
24: Betts, Russell, Warnock
23: Murphy, White
22: Ellard, Gibbs, Kreuzer, Robinson
21: Garlett, Henderson, Touhy, Laidler
20: Yarran


Richmond
29: Newman
27: King
25: Foley, Jackson, Thursfield
24: Deledio
23: Grigg, Hislop, Houli, Nahas
22: Edwards, Farmer, Riewoldt
21: Cotchin, Rance, Vickery, Post
20: Browne
19: Batchelor, Griffiths, Helbig, Martin

We'd be even younger and possibly would've had around 6 teenagers running around today if Conca wasn't being rested and Grimes or Astbury weren't injured.

[Dubstep Dookie]

About to leave for the game.

Have a very bad vibe.

Here's a 5 point summary of what I think will happen:-

Carlton will smash us with centre clearances, starting from the first bounce.
Carltons half backs will kill us on the rebound.  Carazzo and Scotland will have a field day.
Inability to combat Carltons zone/press, resulting in turnovers.
Our defense will leak like a 80 year old bladder.
The likes of Hislop, Farmer and Thursfield will look lost.

Margin:- Carlton by 60-80pts.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Very disappointing crowd - hope theres a big q outside

[J Buckthorn]

Ugh. Not looking good. Carltons skill level just another level above.

All indications point to a raping.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Griffiths copped a heavy knock, off the ground

I dont reckon thats the big problem for me its the fact that our bottom 6 or 7 players arent up to league standard. Thats all.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Given the "hype" this has been an ordinary effort so far. Let the supporters down again. All you'd want is an effort and intensity at the ball, the man and contest. Instead, I'm watching 18 y&b witches hats

[mat073]

Reminds me of our rd 20 encounter last year.....blues by 89pts

We are years away from beating Carlton.

[10 FLAGS]

Our Bottom 6 to 8 players of this 22 are VFL/VFA standard players. The sad point is that blokes like Jackson, Farmer and afew others will be here next year so nothing will change. Grigg and Houli being exposed today again as well. Anyway anyone know when the draft is this year?
