[The King!]

Goodes shouldn't be a problem.

The umpires are always a huge issue in Sydney games, however.

Yeah they always give us a raw deal like once a 50 m penalty when we had 5 on the bench

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Everything would have to go wrong for the Blues to loose.

Well let's just hope we play tight. Really constrict our opposition.

Aren't they one in the same?

 

[Malifice]

Nearly midnight.

Only 5 more hours to go.

Ordinary decision but kind of ironic that the team responsible for the rule coming in was penalised wrongly for it

 

[HotBlueGirl]

Wasn't it last year or something when we played the Swans here and all the Carlton fans were so positive we were going to thump them? Didn't the Swans win that game by 65 points?

 

[cfc_4_ever]

Really looking forward to it, I think the Swans will be up for it and it is a fantastic chance for us to break even further from the chasing pack. Blues by 4 points, Walker to be the difference. Also hoping Kruezer can get on the score board.

Side note on that named my dog Kruezer, he was use to it last year so I could yell at the tv and he didn't react, poor dog last week didn't know what was happening.

Got there at quarter time last year. .. 1.0 to 6.3 at 1/4 time. .. The game was effectively over. .. It was the closest I've ever come to leaving a game early and I've seen some bad ones. ..

Different team this year though and we wont get thumped by Sydney. .. We the fans might be over confident but the Carlton Football Club wont be. .. They are a top 4 threat so must be respected however we go in rightly as favourites. ..

We lost by 6 goals and were absolutely shocking. A sign of how bad we were was the fact that Rhys Shaw kicked 3 goals against us. We had just come off a 10 goal thumping at the expense of the Dogs the week before so I'd find it hard to believe we would have been confident of knocking the Swans off

We are a far different team than what we last time we played the Swans at Etihad. Not saying we are def going to win but I'm much more confident of beating them this time

 

[HotBlueGirl]

Yes the team is a lot ore mature than last season or the last few years, we will see in a few hours.

 

[blues4flag]

Think we're being a touch over-confident. We should win but it's 3rd vs. 5th. There's a reason we're all not sitting on 90 tips.

I can't pick it, it's gonna be a ripper of a game I reckon. Best hit out we've had since the Cats game.

4th vs 5th even...
I'm not feeling the confidence everyone else is, I thought we looked very sharp last week but I'm never confident against the Swans...

 

[HotBlueGirl]

I think some people are a bit too confident about this game, we have to wait and see how the Blues come out. It's a big game for the team as a whole and we need to make a statement against a good side who will be playing finals as well.

We respond well to a contest these days, no doubt we're a team capable of scrapping it out but the Swans epitomise that style of footy. You can guarantee a tough game today which is terrific for our boys.

 

[HotBlueGirl]

I agree with you, this season we have stepped up when it matters, but today is going to be more of a hard ball contest. We have the players now with the hard bodies to crash and bash, good signs. We will find out in a few hours just how far we have come this season, we have already made huge strides.

 

[HotBlueGirl]

We really need to be smart when we have the ball, need the skilled users of the ball in control of the possessions most of the time. We have a good mix now, Gibbs, Yarran, Zac, Murphy, Dunigan who can use the ball well.

 

[HotBlueGirl]

Scotland, Simpson, Walker, Houlihan and co. go OK, also

Walker no not around the ground, but would back him any day kicking for goal now. The rest yes I agree with you, we have a good mix especially coming out of the back line, where these days 95% of the play is setup.

 

[Beloved]

This one will be a bit of a fizzer. I predict Carlton to lead all day and for the lead to be reduced in the last quarter.

Carlton by 30 odd.

 

[Poseidon]

Anyone out there with a stream?

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

I must admit, I'm a bit nervous. *cringes in anticipation of the cruel striped paw of thylacine*

[Poseidon]

Damn you to hell!

 

[HotBlueGirl]

Big game this whats the weather in Melbourne? Freezing as usual?
