[Quinz]

Thanks for saying absolutely nothing in the last two pages, assholes. I had a TSYW banner made and everything.

Save it, you never know when you might need it.

 

[Quinz]

It was really very specific, had the date of the game and everything on it. Not sure that was the best idea in retrospect.

Ah shit, the celebratory cake is burnt now as well. FML.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

At least it's good to know I have more support on here than Tom Swift.

 

[Empire_Persian]

Swift will play, despite the wailing of us armchair coaches.

Shuey IN, Waters OUT, is absolutely positively, actually, really, transcendentally a reality.

Butler is likely to be included. Whilst Hams or McGinnity are a chance to be omitted.

I dream of seeing Newman, or giving Kobe some time, but tis only a dream.

 

[Ochre]

Oh, I was looking forward to the "Kill TSYW" chant and everything

Patrick Keane ‏@AFL_PKeane
Full Thursday teams now at http://afl.com.au - WC v Carl: Butler, Shuey for Waters (susp), Swift. Scotland, Carazzo for Joseph, Bootsma.

 

[new breed]

Good Hams is still in

 

[Mattman93]

Swift :''''''''(

Joke that McGinnity's still in.

 

[Goldfish]

Emergencies are Brown, Swift and Stevens.

 

[Suma Magic]

Good changes.

McGinnity to sub.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Good ins, hope Jacky Darling tests out Carrazzos shoulder a little if they cross paths

 

[Chris_6678]

Kerr forward Pocket interesting! Probably will be in the ruck any way but wonder if he is any good as a small forward. I think we should see if Masten can do a forward tag onto Gibbs and Slow down there run as there defense doesn't look that good compared to our forward line.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Scotland and Carazzo both back, you serious?! Hopefully they are both underdone, seeing their names on there make me somewhat less confident of an (easy) win. Should still get up regardless.

I realise that the named positional lineups usually mean sweet FA but at least our match committee have made some acknowledgement that they're worried about Kerr's recent form, even if its only symbolic. At bouncedown I expect him to be in the centre square.

I'd say McGinnity has been retained purely on matchups. Problem is what might look on paper can go horribly wrong if the player concerned is out of form.

I really, really, really, REALLY hope Carlton take 3 ruckmen into the game (as named). Worked wonders for the purpleshite in the derby.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

McGinnity is lucky to be playing.

 

[Chris_6678]

I think he will be dropped next week for Waters.

 

[PAdman]

terrible for swift, should've got the sub over mcginnity. no idea how this guy still gets a game, must have naked photos of woosha. swift will probably be gone at the end of the year, just running out of time/chances

i was hoping bootsma would play this week, our boys would snap him in half. that would've been an easy 6 for someone like darling or hill

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Paddy in is fine as long as he isn't playing deep forward again.

Carlton have plenty of nippy small players to watch so hopefully he can get the job on one of them and do well.

 

[Shupe]

Looking at those teams on paper, looks like it could be a very close game. The only place where I see us perhaps being able to get on top is their defense doesnt seem very strong. Henderson is pretty good and should towel up Lynch and I like the look of Watson, but he has only played a handful of games. Jamison is OK. I think Cox playing in the goal square could be a match winner.

Also, Simpson vs Gaff. Who wins the battle of the wing? (Not saying it will influence the result too much, just two players who play the wings so well)

 

[Arecsa]

McGinnity should be sacrificing some goats right now to appease the gods that have allowed him to keep his spot. Ridiculous call to drop Swift and keep him in.

 

[Shupe]

No problem with Paddy staying in, but forward is a horrible position for him. If he continues to play there, he'd be on his last legs this week, surely.

 

[Suma Magic]

Simpson vs Gaff. Who wins the battle of the wing? (Not saying it will influence the result too much, just two players who play the wings so well)

Simpson is having a great year. He should definitely get the better of Gaff, despite Gaff's form. Experience should shine through.

Carlton's key weakness is their key forwards. They have Kreuzer and Hampson. That is woefully inadequate.

They are strong elsewhere though. Expect a win but I'm more confident that it will be a close game.

 

[QS]

I'm happy with that side. Bookmark this: We will be miles better than we were at the Gabba.

Butler for Beau's a no brainer, then Swift is probably unlucky ahead of McGinnity.

I swear that centre and HF lines haven't changed for about 6 weeks, not even sides.
