If we lose this we may as well start tanking.

 

[Chief]

Carlton's injury list is mostly to also-rans

LOL!

 

[Robertio]

Every team has significant injuries and as we are quickly working out, Carlton's injury list is mostly to also-rans who offer nothing more than depth.

Have to like Gold Coast here.
Rested a few handy players who should come in fresh and really smash their direct opponents. That midfield is humming and they need to tag Walsh as he has shown to be rather ineffective if you put a body on him the entire game.


Suns season on the line here. Win this, they play finals I reckon.

Nice try mate, you're getting predictable now.

Gotta like any side that can smash Geelong quite convincingly.

 

[Coolangatta]

Go Suns!

The Carlton media hype is off putting.

 

[GC2015]

Second week in a row I've written this... this game is MASSIVE for the Suns. We just pulled off one of our greatest ever wins against Geelong in Darwin last week, but this is a completely different kettle of fish when trying to perform in the heartland of footy against a powerhouse club. We're yet to win an away game this year and this is the first time we've played in Melbourne this year so this is really our first opportunity to properly announce ourselves to the footy public.

Beating the Cats in front of 12k people in Darwin is great, but you really need to be winning away games in front of 40k+ opposition fans if you want to be taken seriously in this league. I think our boys now understand the opportunity that's in front of them and should hopefully show up to play in this game. A shootout between the two Coleman Medal leaders King & Curnow is a nice little side story attached to this game as well.

Suns by 22 points.

 

[ESKIE]

Blues to bounce back, can’t see them losing two weeks in a row, getting some players back, Blues by 18

 

[JustaBattler]

Strong developing fit and fast youth off a strong win against a clever rest the old blokes Geelong will give the Suns a lot to be confident about. Meanwhile Carlton are struggling to put 22 on the park. Hope says Carlton - head says Suns. Does Charlie decide to start playing in front and will Harry ever kick a goal from 20 meters in front? How is TDK going to go against Witts....and is Weitering good enough on just one leg....

yeah good luck Blues.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Suns cant travel. Simple as that.

Home: 6 wins 0 losses
Average Score: 110.6

Away/Neutral: 0 wins 4 losses
Average score: 64.5

 

[RAPPA]

Charlie at full back to keep Big Ben to 0 goals

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Vital game for two mid table teams. The Suns have been adept at developing young talent. The Blues are adept at buying talent.

For many, the Blues are underdogs for this game. Last Friday they copped a flogging and looked listless. I had a look at the Blues and there are just three players who would be Cert Inclusions on other lists. Carlton still has not fixed the talent imbalance on the list and this is clear in games where there is little to distinguish their bottom 6 from those at the Tigers or nmfc.

The Suns need to travel better and imo are overdue for a big win. Reckon they will get the W by 25.

 

[Chief]

GUH is the sound I make when I read your posts, Grand Uncle Horace

 

[Jeremias]

Interesting game.

Blues need to respond from a very poor showing last round.

Suns with a bit of momentum but huge question marks remain over form away from home.

I suspect Carlton gets the job done here, even with the player availability issues.

.For many, the Blues are underdogs for this game.

Classic Horace.

Oh really? Where are these “many”?

Carlton are strong favorites and rightly so. Whether they get the job done is another story.

Is there a bigger troll than you on big footy atm
You reckon we have 3 certainties only , for say, North Melbournes list ?
Where do you come up with this crap

Grand Uncle Troll…. Boooorrrriiinnnggg!

 

[Mr Meow]

Gold Coast have been poor away from their home ground and NT this season. On paper they have the side to match the Blues, but the safer tip is Carlton bouncing back at home and keeping touch with the top 4.

Should be a belter.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Interesting comments above.

So I had a squizz at the Blues injury list

Yeah maybe.... maybe not.

Martin, Weiters, Motlop, Saad in?

Jacob Weitering	Thigh	TBA

Latest Update: May 19

Actually I have two definites in Weitering, an A+ player and Cerra, a solid B+, who every Club would want on their list.

Even nmfc would pass on some of the others who are not at level or injury prone or are a light of previous years.

Theres two AA players in the if you forget to talk about.

 

[Jirik13]

Important games for both teams.

As for Suns, can they finally play well on the road? So far except GWS game they were mostly terrible. Lions game was the worst game I can remember.

With Walter and Rogers most probably back, Suns will again play very young line-up. It's telling Suns had younger line-ups against Hawks and North.

Rested Witts vs TDK will be interesting, midfield battle as well.

Enjoy watching Mac and Walter.
