Carlton will beat St.Klda

[inyourcool]

Since we haven't played Carlton this year I haven't really been paying attention, but does Brett Ratten usually not shut up in the lead up to a game?

Strange bloke.

About as chatty as Lyon - does that make him strange?

It's an ear thing - I think he might be channeling radio transmissions from neighboring galaxies.

If Carlton really are coming, they have to make a statement and no better statement then to beat the Saints in Rd 12 on a Friday night.

At the moment there are only three teams; Geelong, Hawthorn and St.Kilda.

If Carlton can knock off the Saints, which i think they can..... then they really are coming!

Carlton by 8 pts

Dream on fellah!! Santa ain't coming till December, and it's only June tonight.

As Rat's would say . . . I s'pose.

Would have thought that Thornton/Jamison (whoever isn't on Kosi) would play on Schneider and do a good job limiting him.

Schneider will have to move into the midfield to get a bit of the ball which is a win for the Blues.

Gardiner may win the taps, it's on the Blues midfield to shark them or force another stoppage.

They're going to put heaps of effort into stopping Judd which should free up our other midfielders.

Say what you want about Banno, what he does have is a massive tank, he can run all game and he can stick to his opponent. I'm very confident he'll be a good addition to the side.

Whats the point obsessing over Judd, CJ on Judd, has all the speed and the tank to run with him and has the capacity to run off and attack.

Just like to point out stoppages are one of our biggest strengths this year.

Without getting arrogant our defense will completely blanket your forwards.

 

[bourbons]

Maybe, But I think he may need Betts to play a bit part and kick 10-12.

Don't forget the Irish madman

Surely Setanta will kick 6 - 8 goals when moved into the forward line in the 2nd half, after he limits Kosi to 1 touch by halftime and the Saints big man is dragged

Apparently he talks to the media rather than giving them death stares or abusing them like some non-domesticated coaches do.

I s'pose he does.

Turn it up Jeff. You are all over everything that is Carlton.

 

[maryjames]

your due will come in the worse way possible rd 14

 

[cfc4life]

[JeffDunne]

Pay that.

 

[JeffDunne]

You take round 14 and then the pressure is all on you.

And we know what can happen then . . . speaking of worst possible ways.

Ah, just the usual JD-led snipe from the sidelines, gotcha

 

[richmondrichmond]

It's done.

Sorry St. Kilda, the streak ends here.

oh, what does say, carlton 95 to st.kilda 104

your wrong. where did you read that St.Kilda's streak ends here or against carlton. get yours sources right buddy before posting something that aint true.

 

[Murraj1966]

Yeah somehow... i think it went the other way...
SAINTERS WIN

 

[Undecide]

From watching before the game you would of thought carlton won.

 

[saintly555]

pretty much everyone is making it sound like carlton won.
people who say "well, they deserved to win it" are wrong.
saints lead the entire night, so they deserved to win.
If carlton lead the entire night and then lost in the last few minutes, fair enough. but the fact is that the saints played the better game regardless of the scoreline.

 

[saintsrule]

your due will come in the worse way possible rd 14

Oh will it now? What exactly , in your worthy opinion, is our due and what makes you so sure of this?

 

[Badesumofu]

To be fair Essendon is a very good team.

Probably the best 11th placed team I have seen for a long time!

 

[RuckRyder]

Probably the best 11th placed team I have seen for a long time!

Take a look at our run. Melbourne, Carlton, Collingwood and Sydney. Very realistically could win our next 4 games especially with returning players from the past couple of weeks with a couple of games under their belts. Sets us up nicely in the last 4-6 weeks of the year.
