What is this whole Roby thing about?

What is this whole Roby thing about?

He's a dick.

That's about it really.

 

[Doss]

Carlton have tweeted that Menzel is going to be missing this week. Didn't go into detail.

 

[fishardansin]

I have a sick feeling about this one boys. Surely not.

Not wishing injury on anybody but **** this is great.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Exactly the type of talk that gets us beat.

• We're still coming off limited preseason
• Had two physically demanding games against top tier sides
• Short break between games
• Carlton are coping a lot of heat in the media, expect a response.
• We have a history of losing to teams we should beat "playing down to their level"

Hope we go out and take an easy win but you can't do that unless you take them seriously.

And we haven't scored heavily yet this year....9 or 10 goals per game lets other teams get a sniff.....lets hope our forwards fire this week

Carlton will be up for this, make no mistake.

Now the sheer gulf in talent between the clubs means we should win regardless, but I'll take ANY margin and gladly put this game in the rear view mirror.

Three things make us hate Blues even more than normal...

1) Malthouse said Hird and the Bombers were a distraction to the AFL

2) Malthouse had his chargers mouthing off EFC players as drug cheats in round 23 last year

3) Malthouse (the head coach of the Eagles cocaine dynasty) said that he (along with his mates Clarkson and Buckley) lwould not attend any coaches function that Hird attends

I hope so. Still smash them by 10 goals

 

[Mercurial89]

Just looking through the team list of injuries, some teams are getting a really bad run of it.

Blues rule Troy Menzel (calf) out of Saturday's game against Essendon. Another goalkicker out of the side.

Nah **** that. If we want to be a good side, a top 4 side we need to be winning these games comfortably - I'm not talking about that it has to be in the extreme of 80+ or anything but we need to win these games by healthy margins for % sake since I doubt we're going to be the team that goes 18-4 and secures top 2 through wins alone.

When did he say this? Extremely poor form, if true.

 

[Fear Boner]

I can't understand why anyone would want Mick sacked, he seems to be doing the perfect job as is.

It's Carlton .... It could be a lot worse

We haven a frustrating habit of making VFL standard forwards look like Wayne Carey. Standby for Casboult to bag 10.

I would've thought Watson will come into the frame for them.

Cringle ?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Must beat Carlton,Pies,Saints and go 4-1 against Freo.

I was in the same situation with David Moyes and Manchester United last year. I think in the end, the satisfaction of seeing the campaigner given the ass was too good, even if it meant the club ridded themselves of him. #SackMick

 

[frenchfri12]

Our only problem is we've got the backline of the century with Hurley, Hooker, Fletcher (and Carsile if needed) but Carlton has no forward line. Who will they all play on?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Remember when everyone was panicking about losing to Melbourne during the week? we ended up flogging them by 140 points.

and i made the call

 

[Doss]

Probably:

Hurley to Henderson
Hooker to Casboult
Fletcher to Jones
Baguley probably would have played on Menzel but he's out now, so...
