I'm also nervous about this match. We tend to not handle a greasy ball to well. Im hoping that was a thing of the past and we win by 4 goals plus.
Go Baggers!

Weren't we the wet weather specialists rather recently?

Can't see us smashing GC, they have been extremely competitive.

Given they play a similar style to us, contested footy, I think our midfield will be too strong

Will take a 4 goal win

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Shouldn’t get those awful humid conditions that drag teams down today being an afternoon time slot.

No excuses good challenge today, will see how far we have come in terms of maturity and mindset..... all above the shoulders these type of games!

 

[tarczonandjane]

To those who are nervous… I just think our guys are sick of losing and feel they have plenty still to prove. That should carry us through games where we might previously have been a bit more up against it.

Beautiful day up here. Probably be close to as perfect weather you can get for this afternoon (can't wait to come back to this comment).

Well, WTF am I meant to do for the next 7 hours?

I thought I might mow the lawns and roast a chook for lunch, your very welcome to mow the lawns for me......

I'm not nervous today. I'm excited and confident. It's been a long time since I've felt this way. Trust and belief. C'mon Baggers!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

If we can kick the red/yellow pumped up cows arse through the 2 lumps of wood more than the other guys, we are a very good chance of winning.

I firmly believe this.

 

[morningbrown]

Feeling crook, give me the medicine Baggers!

Quite annoying for a powerhouse and attractive team to watch like Carlton to be playing at 4pm on a Sunday, ffs.

Fix this shit, AFL.

your wish is their command

Carlton poised for prime time as AFL focuses on big crowds

The AFL is putting final preparations into the next phase of the rolling fixture, with Carlton expected to reap the rewards for their winning start to the season.

Agree. There is an air of a little confidence in my step currently.....been a very long time.

Does anyone else view the late Sunday slot as a recipe for disaster every time we play it? This game makes me nervous, so many times the anticipation builds all weekend only to be disappointed on the Sunday. We should win but this isn’t a gimme

Just felt a few spots of rain on this post.

Stunning day up here. Great day to football.....

Really concerned over this game, we lose and it’s a massive step back, we grind out a win and I’ll still be nervous moving forward, we smash them then the lid is off!

Just don’t want to see us get complacent, hopefully the boys have really grown up and learnt from previous mistakes.

4-0 second on the ladder, 2 games clear in the 8 would be massive after 4 rounds.

Why is it a massive step back if we lose? It's simply not. Gold Coast are decent, they'll beat teams at home this year. I mean, GC are $2.35, it's not like they're huge underdogs.

Yesterday's games proved just how even things are, North almost rolled Sydney, West Coast lifted to get the win away against Collingwood. We'll drop games along the way, it's a grind, and they won't just be against teams like Melbourne.

A loss will be disappointing but I don't think the result today proves anything either way.

It's confidence without arrogance. Very much like the team I feel

You Queenslanders still struggling with the AFL concept of goal posts I see.....

Just east of hinze looking out over Broadbeach. Yeah still a little humidity around, sunset is around 6:30ish so expect a little dew around about then but I'm hoping for a 10 goal lead by that point

Bang.

Yep. No yet Thy. Premiership or 2 will do that. I’m just finally confident we have the right people now leading the club off and on field and we are finally on course to be back.

Agreed, as much as we all want a win, it's more about how we tweak areas of concern, ones that arouse from the Hawks and other games, that will help us to make the finals this year and to become a legitimate contender in the upcoming seasons

Pitto a very big out but T.D.K has the chance to shine up on the Goldie today now. Looking forward to seeing him thrive with No.1 ruck duties.

Back up I would like to see come from Young. Also allows him to show another side we have not seen yet if we can afford to take him away from key defence and I think we can today.

Leave SOS up front as he showed last week , we need him there.

Reckon Fogs will be a bit calmer than his first chance this season where he looked to be trying a bit TOO HARD.Will play a cracker IMO.

Needs to if he wants to hold his spot.

We win by six goals
