News NAB Challenge: Carlton v Adel - Visy Park Fri 4/3 4pm

[Silvagnis]

I guess Austin didn't train on Monday. Some players just aren't physically cut out for the AFL. Almost our Gumbleton in terms of injuries and what he'd add to our structure.

At least we didn't give up pick 2!!

 

[Sin City]

That's great for White. Bit of a bummer that McLean isn't back yet. Crows have some big bodied mids so I really hope Curnow impresses against them.

Club must know that the writing is on the wall for Austin, given they went out and drafted Watson and McCarthy. Such a shame, a real quality player is Aussie.

Disappointed Lachie didn't quite get up for this game. Really hoping he can make it back for the final game, and perhaps half a game for the Bullants prior to round 1.

*Best 22
*A case for best 22

I see only really 5 player that can be considered best 22 not playing, and they are all due to injury or recovery... so that is our strongest possible line up... good to see

Daniel Talia when he gets a touch.

cool story bro

Carlton should tag Talia.

It isn't a good thing that Mclean, Henderson, O'hAilpin, Kreuzer, Carrazzo and Austin are unavailable for our first competitive hitout. We're just three weeks out from round one, yet two of our KPF won't be playing. We need to put our slow starts behind us and come out with all guns blazing.

Watched round one the last couple of years?

 

[jonoman89]

Starting to worry about McLean...

Why hasn't he played a game yet? Better not be ****ing injured again.

 

[Silvagnis]

Round one isn't the issue.

1. Richmond
2. Gold Coast
3. Collingwood
4. Essendon
5. Adelaide
6. Sydney
7. St Kilda

 

[Bockchoy67]

Two pretty strong teams on the park. We've got nearly every one of our best 22 in the squad except for Van Berlo and Jacobs.

Admittedly a couple of players will be underdone (and as such it's also possible that Vince and Stevens won't play) but the standard should be rather high I'm thinking.

I'll be at the game on Friday, looking forward to it.

1. Richmond
2. Gold Coast

Should be 5 & 2, 4 & 3 at worst.

Good to see us fielding our strongest possible line up... not that we have injury or underdone players...

This will be the closest game to a full squad we get to see and after a long pre-season, it is good to see...

 

[TheKITC]

I knew a having a free period on friday afternoons would come in handy!

I knew having every Friday off would come in handy!

 

[Chief Crow]

Daniel Talia and Jason Porplyzia pulled up sore from training and have been pulled from the squad for a rest. Luke Thompson and Brad Moran will replace them.
Also 5aa are covering the game for those that can't see the game. Remember they are catering for Adelaide fans, so they are biased in there call. If that doen't bother you, then tune in. You were warned

Looks pretty full strength. .. should be a good hit out. .. Every time I try to think of who is missing I scan the list and find them. ..

 

[DarkTint]

Missing McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Officially got off work on Friday. Life is good.

 

[Claypigeon]

Missing McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards.

True. .. Although Edwards was dropped. ..

I assume we're resting Watson, so we don't over do it with him. .. Hope he gets back on the park prior to round 1, plenty of time though. .. Surprising that Austin is out, he really needs to step up this season, otherwise he wont likely get another. ..

 

[Blue and Silver]

No uni Friday. So Praccy match here I come

 

[Sin City]

I reckon we'll treat it like last pre-season and exaggerate the things we're working on and because of that they'll probably get over us but the result doesn't matter. Last pre-season it was maintaining possession of the ball and it drove everyone spare and had everyone worried about how we were gonna play, this pre-season we'll probably overdo the defensive press or bringing the ball up the sides of the ground like what was reportedly done against GWS.

 

[JeffKennett]

hey guys, what's the go with grog at practive matches at Visy?

 

[WALL-e]

Talia and Porps have pulled out injured (sore). Will be replaced by Luke Thompson and Bob Moran.
