Carlton v richmond

[Blues_Man]

rain may prevent the annual round one flogging ..on talent alone Carlton should win by 10 goals plus as per usual when these two teams meet .

I like that it might rain, it makes it more interesting. Often when it rains the side that adapts better and plays wet weather football will win, not necessarily the better side on paper.

With the uncertainty of Carlton's key backs and the incoming rain, the game has suddenly got a much closer feel, and I think that's being felt by both Richmond and Carlton supporters.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Due to the rain and the omissions from our side - we probably won't flog Richmond.

Need body size in the middle & guys happy to kick long rather than runners/skilful users.

Richmond (last year anyway) aren't/weren't a bad wet-weather side TBH.

Could well bring the Tigs right into it.

Agree with this...

Big Targets and some crumbers on the forward line followed by solid bodies of Foley, Cotchin, martin, jackson, Grigg and Houli in the middle brings us right into calculations imo.

Yes for the most part Carlton fan's arrogance is being replaced by ignorance.

Lots of unknowns in this game.
Surprised if the result is more than 4 goals but hard to say since Thornton is suddenly a champion Full back.

Love richmonds build up to the first game of the season. It's like a car crash you just can't look away from.

It's amazing they never learn.

Smash em up blues.

[pazza]

Nice start by the Tigers

 

[The Speaker]

As soon as I hear Judd is having a set shot, I chalk up a behind for Carlton.

 

[Strike Swiftly]

Sensational goal by riewoldt. Very impressive

 

[Kozivan]

riewoldt and hampson should kick bags at this rate... awful defending all round.
