[My Tilly]

This will be a ripping match.
Crows got their tails up now.
Get back Fogarty, home ground advantage, tough one to pick.

McKay will be out, because Barry promised to play for North this week.

 

[1972championsofaust]

Carlton’s Mids will actually have to defend and be accountable for a change.
Crows lead the comp in scores from inside the 50m!
Carlton back line going to be in for a long night.
Expect Rain/Showers after 6pm.

Carlton supporters prancing about saying undefeated season, beat Geelong, guaranteed top 2 etc etc.

This is a danger game. If they are the real deal they will win

they're playing good footy

McKay will get off - his contact was to the shoulder initially & his arms slid up - contact was low.

cant be underestimated.

Cripps, Hewitt, Kennedy, Cerra, Walsh & Docherty - much better balance.

Blue will win the ball at the source - & now have some run back on the outside.

Blues by 27.

Showers / Rain expected after 6pm will be the Crows equalizer!
Crows by 22 points!

Would love to see this, do you have a link?

Carlton supporters prancing arrogantly with hyper confidence after beating the inaccurate wooden spoon holders by 23 points.

I'm sure most Carlton supporters are worried based on last years game against the Crows.
0-6 at Adelaide Oval as well.

Funny that, most comments on the Blues board think that Adelaide will win. I don't know a single Blues fan that's been convinced by our grinding start to the season. Keep living in this little made up world though, gl.

 

[JPetro83]

With all the hype about Carlton and where they are etc they should win.

It was joke, like I said, most Carlton supporters are most likely worried about their performance on Thursday night and which Carlton will actually rock up.

Beating an in form Adelaide at a venue they haven't won at will most likely cause some (justified) prancing

Apologies, more so directed at the person I originally quoted.

Carlton fans:

Some random person: Carlton supporters prancing about saying undefeated and guaranteed top 2

Everyone else: Carlton fans are so arrogant and getting ahead of themselves


Haven't seen anyone carrying on about being undefeated, unless it's in response to some idiot. The media are the ones throwing around the undefeated tag.
Technically, it's true, but we are all well aware that we've been winning ugly and aren't at the top of our game yet. If you aren't playing well, it's better to grind out wins, than to lose.
Happy to get an early win out of the way against the reigning prems and a team we likely would have expected to lose against, but we're well aware that they were travelling pretty poorly at the time.
Guaranteed top 2? Literally haven't seen any Blues supporters say that. Not even in jest. Most think our absolute best result this year could be 4-5, but realistically more like 6-8.
This is another 50/50 game, just like Tigers and GWS. That's how I viewed them anyway.

 

[branedotorg]

never won at adelaide oval, not convinced it'll be this week either

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Records are there to be broken.
Harry will be a big loss if he can't get it reduced to a fine, but Walsh, Acres and Kennedy would be some handy inclusions if they all get up.

 

[LFTWNG11]

I would be surprised if there is any Carlton supporter confident for this one. We are simply terrible at Adelaide Oval and our form this year doesn't indicate we will buck the trend here and get a result.

Crows by 4 goals.

 

[JyeDye]

Carlton will definitely win this one to continue on with what I have marked down as a sure thing top 2 finish.

 

[juss]

This is one of the games of the round, the Crows are a decent team and will have a monster crowd cheering them on, while the Blues look really dangerous on the back of the best KPF duo in the comp.

I'll go Carlton in what I'm tipping to be game of the round, 13.10 88 def Adelade 12.11 83

 

[Robertio]

Danger game for the Blues but i think we'll get them with our contested game, Blues by 30.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

No Docherty for Blues now.
Still a question mark on McKay.
Clouds over Gov, Walsh, Acres, Kennedy, Martin, Boyd and Cottrell, who all need to be cleared to be available for selection.

Agreed - our mids need to bust a move & whatever else is in their way.

Please don’t forget global warming, 3rd world debt, right wing elitism, a looming nuclear war and a global recession!!!
