The cream of the crop

 

[lukep_86]

Plenty of results going our way this weekend. A win and coming away injury free is all I want from this game

The cream of the crop

Sonsie isn’t the worst. And I’d take Miller.

I like Campbell too. There is some promise there for sure. Playing the youth was forced on them, but it's the right thing to do.

Yep Campbell is a goer.

On paper we should annihilate them. They don’t have a functional forward line. But - as others have said, I’ll take a five goal win and no injuries.

Bounce the ball ffs

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

He's playing a team first role by filling space on the defensive transition.

He's not as good at it as cotts but I think he's doing enough on a pretty thankless role

I think Fanta's decision making and delivery is better than Cotts(same with Cunners), but they have nowhere near the same level of ground coverage and contests.

Cotts hits the scoreboard …

 

[sohohoho]

The odds are represented by the volume of money being bet in one particular direction, not someone's viewpoint! Popular opinion has Carlton overwhelming favourites, and that's the most logical result......

half right, weight of money doesn't really have much to do with it these days. Bookmakers do not try and have even books anymore.

the odds are what they are for a reason though and the best guide we have on the likely result.

 

[ESKIE]

No chance we drop this.

4 points no injuries, re set for GWS

Also an enticement to bet of course.

Provide juicier odds to encourage betting on a lost cause.

Elijah and TDK are the ones to watch here. Stunned by their form.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Time to eat into that imaginary gap that everyone thinks exists between Sydney and us.

Recent losses to Brisbane (119), Dogs (91), Freo (54) and Hawthorn (48) suggest that a decent percentage boost is on offer.

As long as we haven’t been drinking too much of our own bath water this should be a stress free afternoon.

First 10 minutes will signal intent. Smash them. No bruise free footy please xx

Who are our bottom 6 players at the moment?

Cowan, O Hollands, Fantasia, Kennedy, Hewett, Boyd ??

That’s a premiership bottom 6 right there.

Bounce the ball ffs

What are you going do if the AFL get rid of the bounce?

Throw the ball up FFS?

 

[Love the Drake]

Hoping for a solid win today by an ultra professional team. Roll the sleeves up and get the job done boys!

• Very happy to see Cerra back in - can see him starting and being subbed out sometime in the 3rd (Fantasia - sub)
• Want to see Kennedy & George continuing their good form
• Looking forward to watching the cohesiveness and teamwork of our backline
• Need to see the continued improvement in our movement in the forward line (not leading to the same spot/creating & running to space) with a multitude of goal scorers. We can't just rely on Harry & Charles to kick the majority of our goals, particularly in finals.
• Would love TDK/Cripps/Walsh/Cerra to make a further statement re how dominant they can be

AND FINALLY. Not enough love for Owies. I've been quite ambivalent to him in the side, thinking he is ok, but not a genuine small forward. Not quick enough. Doesn't pressure enough. Doesn't crumb enough. But he's been very good the last month. If he can make that his benchmark, he and Williams create genuine headaches for the opposition.

GO BLUES!!!

 

[Ald Gardiner]

How long since our big 5 mids played in the 22?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very excited humans.

This 3 o’clock start time is confusing, not one for daytime drinking, I’m not William Holden, but what the heck, I’ll give it a go.

Might go sausages or cold cuts, maybe a roast chook.

So much planning to do….

Baggers by 121.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Nice blue skies for now ..

That’s a premiership bottom 6 right there.

Possibly finding room for Cotters, Martin & Motlop - all going well.

Who from this list makes way?

 

[RAPPA]

The G will be a soggy mess with the rain of today and yesterday. Not anticipating a blow out and expect Richmond will make it slog for the majority of the game. On a hugely positive note, have had a knack of pulling away from out proponent in the last quarter recently so happy for that trend to continue.

 

[Aphrodite]

Good morning all


& no injuries!

 

[Mentallo]

Currently working in town, in between moments of sunshine there are some pretty heavy showers passing through.
Not much wind to speak of let’s hope it clears more by 320pm.
