That is a bit strange.

They should be playing at the MCG.

They are.

 

[bigblueboy]

Another two weeks of selection debate. Yay!

Question marks on all the below:
Pittonet - do we prefer a 2 ruck set-up?
Acres - plays if not injured
Weitering - plays if not suspended
Fisher - does his form warrant a game?
Kennedy - can he play without a game in two months?
Dow - everyone’s favourite discussion

Cripps and Docherty will be right?

 

[myblueroan]

Please not on the Friday night. I get back from Europe at like 9.30pm.

It is. Sorry.
Straight from airport for a quarter or 2?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I'm too nervous to get through twelve days of waiting. So many nervous wees to be had.

Hurry up and lock in the day so I can lock in a babysitter ploiseeee

Friday !

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

omg they heard me! Just got the notification that it's FRIDAY NIGHT. I repeat, FRIDAY NIGHT.

[Mr_Plow]

On Blacres - i'm no doctor, but it was suggested that if it's the AC joint , then it's a matter of getting the injection which will allow him to play . Can anyone confirm

Cripps , Doc, motlop and pittonet comes in
Fisher , fog , durdin , and perhaps Hollands or cincotta go out.
Sub will be Dow. He is lucky but has probably earned his place

Depends on severity of damage.

Magnitude of impact on footage looked low-medium and mechanism not really classic for clavicle fracture.

Hoping isolated low-grade AC joint injury which leaves open the possibility of playing with some local anaesthetic injection.

 

[Opium]

Fixture announced Monday, but it is a monty we will be Friday night.

AFL Confirmed Friday night game at the MCG 7.50.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Need to make room for Motlop, Pittonet, Cripps & Docherty so 4 changes minimum.

I’ve got these 4 missing:

Fisher - Runs around on his own, doesn’t defend, no impact and butchers it way too much.
Durdin - Motts more dangerous.
Cincotta - Had a bag kicked on him. Worst game this year.
Marchbank - Strange choice for a sub.

Dow sub.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Looking forward to this. We’ll be back to our normal contested/pressure beasts In 2 weeks.

We’d better have the pressure, Sydney play very much like GWS and we certainly didn’t put enough pressure on to stop their turnover game

Anyone wanna babysit an 18 month old so I can go?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

No need to panic, the Nana has agreed to babysit the Boogers. Everyone calm down.

Ooh sorry, my post below this one is poor timing!

 

[ferrisb]

One more for Nana won't make a difference...

 

[kreuze_missile]

I would have thought we’d be Thursday night, with two Melb clubs having the marquee Friday night slot.

Anyway great for us.. should be a massive crowd if all the baggers turn up.

85k realistic? 80k Carlton supporters in one place would be awesome.

Lots of Sth Melbourne supporters too.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Spot on.....love the boyd selection but is he match fit?

Doc is not accountable. Terrible match up.

Doc can’t be much worse than Cincotta was last night.

I’d need to watch the replay (won’t) but to my eye he had at least 4 kicked on him.

 

[David Sylvian]

No need to panic, the Nana has agreed to babysit the Boogers. Everyone calm down.

Shout out to your Nana, what a legend.

 

[Ezayyak]

The giants had to win and we had 5th place sewn up.

There was nothing more to that 2nd half, right?

Right?

Yeah. I reckon we were aiming for the win but once gws went all in in the 3rd, the mental capacity to fight dissipated. Which is understandable, virtual elimination finals for 9 weeks straight and 5th spot sown up.

The loss will have its benefits, particularly our turnover game and our high defence will need to be looked at. We have the game for finals but a few areas need to be improved.

Right?

For me it was more the distinct lack of sprinting by our mids. Walsh and Cerra were clearly being managed.

Should be close to 90k given the ~15k Swans fans that will turn up.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Anyone else wearing a Carlton scarf to work today?

Yep & Kemp on Blakey - reckon he’s the perfect match up, has the speed, agility & reach to make life bloody hard for him.
Shut down both of them & there drive and run will dry up big time.
Weiters & Gov can take care of the forwards, Newman to take care of Papley.
