coached juggernaut continues to storm towards finals. Matt, Nicksy, apologies mate, I was wrong all along.

Prediction - what Dogs says.

Just can't imagine beating the team, the crowd, and the umpiring all at the same time.

I'd give us a chance at home with the good run of umpiring we've had, but not at Marvel and particularly because it's Carlton. If it's close (it won't be ) look for the usual howler to sink us.

Which gameplan will we bring? The shitty one of the first 4 losses or the one that could actually win a game? I'm tipping the shitty one, until it's too late, and then the good one that brings the margin back to a not so embarrassing number.

Reckon Baggers by 30+ (even though I've put a slippery bet on the Crows, expecting, hoping, praying that the first 4 weeks have really only been an aberration)

Yay it's gameday

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Blues by I don’t even know how much , hopefully a coach killing amount

Careful Nicks ..

Cant wait for the umpiring....

We've lost our last eight games in Melbourne

To be fair maybe we struggle with the jet lag?

You beauty...game day

Let's see who Nicks blames for this loss

 

[Kickin Goals]

I kind of hope the Blues go in with no lube and we lose by 100+, then ol Nicksy will have no choice but to start making changes.

I sadly thought it was more than that.

But we’ve got a big game against Essendon, will need experience

This won't apply to anyone who actually made a significant difference.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

I think it will get ugly today.

It won't necessarily be a bad thing as Nicks and his sh*t selections need to be exposed and found out.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

 

[Doctor B]

The battle of Carltons named mids of Cripps, Cerra & Hewett with Walsh coming off the bench against our Dawson, Laird & Keays with Crouch coming off the bench will be interesting.

Surely Keays is HF replaced by Soli with Rankine getting regular squirts through the middle.

I've got a multi at 39.5, so probably a late goal to us to lose by 36. I don't actually think we've been that bad, given who we've played. But I think Blues are the real deal and fast ball movement to their key forwards will be the difference. Reckon we'll grind away and be around the mark in general play, but they'll kick too many slingshot style goals and that'll be mostly where it's lost.

Which is why it's funny that posters complain about being sent around the countryside. Those venues account for all our recent away wins.

And continuity.

Notwithstanding all of the discussion around our gameplan, recruitment, list management, player development and coaching (all of which has been perfectly valid) - we just need a win to loosen this team up a bit.

Crows by 41 points

Uh oh.

 

[Scorpus]

The worst thing that could happen today is a close loss

If we're losing we need to be ****ing smashed off the park

Reckon a 120 point drubbing will have a similar effect.

I'm not gonna lie, this is going to be tough without the leadership of Murphy out there. Time for McHenry to step up.
