Understated??

Aph plays a very cool hand out front here I reckon.
Now, if she turns into a wildly exuberant party animal in the mod lounge...I would not know!

SHe handles a lot of side swipes very well indeed I reckon.
Medals and badges for all our Mods! They put up with a lot from us emotional plebs.

ps. No medal for you Chiefy after making me watch that horrible Hawks vid to find your stupid secret word! And for nothing!

 

[xDQ82x]

hahaha... sorry found this amusing.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Not necessarily. If the team lines up as posted it's pretty well balanced.

Yes but there could be a strategy to start off with +1 running player by starting a tall as sub

 

[Aphrodite]

hahaha... sorry found this amusing.

As if TDK will be sub.

 

[Wickzki]

Yeah. But I get it.
It's because of the energy levels and enthusiasm..we've been sorely missing what the rookies brought.
I think mature bodies will be better, but we need them switched on from 1 to 4!

Now with Moir..he is so exciting and an x factor.
Would way prefer him than say Raz.
However, if it's Doc or TDK or even Cinc as sub...play on.

I loved what they brought at the end of the season. They did their job for what was asked of them.

I wish Moir had gotten more run throughout the season than just those two quarters that largely amount to a sneak peak of what we can expect going forward.

It's all very exciting for him and Lord. 2025 should see both get opportunities to become fixtures in the 23. I can't wait for that. Hoping for similar opportunity for Binns too but the other two look like real difference makers long-term.

As if TDK will be sub.

I would shoot down anyone who suggested that earlier in the week.



Go the blues.

It’s match day and I’m a little toey.

No one gives us a chance. I’m not sure why the pundits can’t entertain a small chance of a Carlton victory. We’ve lost 10 games this year. 2 were blow outs. In the remaining 8 games the total combined margins is 66 points. 32 quarters and 66 points is the differential. Even when we’ve lost, for the most part, we’ve scrapped and fought to the end. It’s that sort of spirit that gives me hope tonight.

Go Blues!

Tonight is about winning the contest and then using the ball as well as what we can. Need to have a positive approach to moving the ball, forwards need to be on the lead and leads need to be honoured.

When we're applying a zone defence we need to cut down the space offered to Brisbane for the outlet. Pressure the crap out of them. It's our one wood and should serve us well tonight if we do it consistently.

Can't describe how happy I will be if we get over the line tonight. It's so good to be involved at this time of the year and I want our involvement to continue.

Bring your best Blues.

Yep, ball use has been the killer of teams in the first 2 finals.

Short price fav's, home deck, been in finals for 6 years without ultimate success, knockout final. So much pressure on the Lions tonight to perform. Apply the pressure on the deck and let’s see what they've got.

The longer we are in this game, the more latent pressure becomes acute for the Brions.

We’ve got to contest the skin off this one right from the get go.

No matter how many baggers are there tonight - guaranteed they’ll be in full voice!

Was good last year - very well done by the club.

As if TDK will be sub.

If TDK is the sub we should close the game day thread as it means we are tanking.

 

[Benaly28]

Mitch Cleary and Jay Clark both running with TDK looming as possible sub.

Bit strange but could understand it.

Slow readers, they'll post an update to Fantasia once they get through a few more pages.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

So many Carlton supporters walking around the CBD. Just got my first "carn the blues" from another supporter

It's a beautiful day for a citycat cruise, best way to look around Brizzy.
