Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 2 vs. Bulldogs. Fri 21/03 @ 7:40pm (MCG)

[Pistol Night]

Not that easy for me.

The Carlton organisation is pure filth but I hate the Hawthorn playing group more than the Carlton playing group. Cripps, Harry, & SoS seem like good blokes*.

*That might be taking it too far. My apologies.

I actually dont despise the Carlton players. Cripps is a nice fella. Pendles and a few of the boys are mates with Harry. Its the flog supporters that ruin the place for me. The team is shit so they have my pity instead

It's a test of whether you are glass half full or half empty.

Glass half full - Yes - one of them loses.
Empty - No. One of them wins.

There's nothing wrong with barracking for Injuries & Suspensions.

Apparently WHE is available and that on other news on the injury front that the tall duo of Oscar and Iiaroo Smit could debut v Carlton.
Cox is another ones available this Friday night.
main training was this morning a drulling 3 hour session played looked like a intra match sim.

Relax tomorrow more light training thursday and game day friday.

Mitchell good news is he eyeing a return to match training in 3 weeks time so might return for gather round.

Harrison looking good round 8 return at this stage.

AJ as we know if out but looking at mid june return.

 

[Gabbo64]

Not even come Friday and all the media want to do is rip into Carlton (who will be embarrassed for a second week in a row) instead of talking about the game on that night?

Well, that makes Friday Footy all the better for it.

 

[Gabbo64]

I hereby declare that I will not join any chorus of melts should Long start as sub again, because despite playing his career best game on Saturday night, there are better players than him ready to start on the field.

Depending on match-ups of course. I can see Long in the starting 18 should the match-ups dictate.
As a matter of interest, can a player be named as sub but be swithed around after Team announcements??

Reckon there's a decent difference between barracking for injuries and just not being overly bothered/upset a good player from the opposition got injured

Genuinely hard for me to name multiple players from Carlton who I dislike now that Owies has gone. Something about Walsh doesn't sit right with me but it's probably because he carries on like a peanut when he kicks a goal (when he's not butchering his disposals).

If they played for another club (excluding Essendon), I feel like I'd want them to do well.

 

[Jen2310]

Only ones I would have a question mark on is Reef. But might be a have to keep persisting with him down back. Otherwise, WHE or Frampton come in this week.

Howe pull up ok after the game?

Team A this morning-
Lippa. Jordy. IQ. Maynard. Elliott. Josh D. Schultz. Houston. Mcstay. DC. Sidey. Hill. Crisp. Reef. Membrey. Moore. Nick D. Howe. Checkers. Long.

Seniors in the white to make up the rest- pendles. Perryman. Beau.

No room for WHE though he did the whole session

 

[Jen2310]

Were stacked up forward for once but there's something about Jordy deep forward that excited me still. Absolute beast

Was more half forward rather than deep forward

Yes Long played well, but Fly said he came in for a role.

Maybe this week calls for more of an Allan/WHE role than a Long role?

Yeah with MMM down there we dont need a DG to ruin the commentators little thing they have going

 

[Jen2310]

Pretty sure fly was referring to Sullivan?
From what I’ve seen long will play. Allan and WHE both in white.
With 20 in black. With pendles. Perryman and Beau those in white, i wouldn’t think there would be room for others

 

[Peters_Nuts]

A forward line rotation of McStay, Mihocek, Membrey, JDG, Hill, Elliott, Schultz and Beau is absurd.

 

[Jen2310]

McRae didn't rule out having the 37-year-old start outside the 22 again this season.

"We got to realise that ideally we get ourselves in a position where we play beyond August, and that's a long time away," he said.

"So we stay in the moment.

"We stay process driven, and we look for opportunities for our players to be ready for whatever is in front of them."

Pies star ready to return, could have played Opening Round

Craig McRae says a cautious Collingwood is playing the long game with Jordan De Goey

Let’s revisit this if we lose to them in 3 weeks and my TV remote is wedged into the wall somewhere

It’s nuts, just like your title

Agree mate. Hawks are the new Carlton.
I despise both clubs. Along with Richmond Essendon and Geelong.
The rest can EAD too.

 

[Kirby]

Jordy SMASH!

 

[sr36]

Jordy started forward and then rotated on ball and centre bounce

Jordy and Nick rotating mid and forward would be pretty cool.

 

[sr36]

Yes. And for the Hawthorn Carlton game the right thing to do is barrack for injuries.

It makes no difference either way.

 

[NMBB]

.....Just hope it’s not an embarrassment for the dogs as it’s a special occasion for them

No need for sentiment here - just whip their collective butt

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Agreed. Eff them. We have our own milestone with Pendles & Steele playing in their record breaking games milestone.
