News RD 17:- Blues v Pies prematch discussion & changes

[HBF]

Great news that Fraser is out tomorrow night. He works really well with Swan and Didak, so this will minimise their impact around the stoppages. Will also allow Kreuzer & Hampson to really stamp their authority on the game also.

 

[HBF]

We may see Kruezer used more forward if Fraser doesnt play. Hampson would take 1st ruch and then Cloke as back-up.

Would love to see Kreuzer play forward. He'll smash Harry O should he lineup there.

 

[jonesy86]

Harry O will play on Eddie Betts after touching up Alwyn Davey and to a lesser extent Cyril in the last 2 games. Either Ben Reid or Goldsack will come in to play on the 2nd tall forward.

 

[blueblood25]

Keep him away from Stevens.

HAHAHAH stevo is on the lance diet

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We can't expect Bower and Austin to hold down the two key posts for the rest of the year. That just wouldn't be fair.

Hang on, Thornton is still down there,
and reckon he has been terrific this year,
has taken body on the line crunch marks for us at crucial stages when games have been in the balance.

Been very cool in the pressure situations lately.

 

[Thurlo]

Team lists will be out very soon! Time will tell! Hopefully its all good news!

GO THE BLUES!

 

[BLUE RHINO]

So with jammo out what are the likely match ups for their forwards?

Emu V Cloke
T-Bird V Medhurst
Aussie/Harts V Anthony

? They could stretch us if they went tall with Brown down forward but we also could play that game with Krueze.

Emu, T-Bird, Ozzie Ostrich? WTF? This a footy club or an aviary?

 

[Thurlo]

Carlton has made two changes to its side prior to Friday night's match against Collingwood at the MCG.

The Blues have recalled defenders Mark Austin and Michael Jamison.

Joe Anderson will miss the match with a hamstring injury, while Adam Hartlett has been omitted.

Dennis Armfield, Cameron Cloke join Hartlett as emergencies.

Carlton and Collingwood Football Clubs will join forces to pay tribute to former Carlton President Richard Pratt.

“The Richard Pratt Cup has been established to pay tribute to a great Carlton man who had an enormous impact on our club and football in general. While we battle against Collingwood for the Cup, we will be joining forces with them to help the battle against cancer by working together to raise awareness of prostate cancer,” Ratten said.

Richard Pratt passed away in April this year following a long battle with prostate cancer. Richard’s involvement with the Carlton Football Club spanned nearly 60 years as a player, sponsor, director, president and patron.

Armfield? didnt he do his ankle on the weekend?

 

[gbatman]

Didak, Swann and Lockyer are the players to stop.

Didak - Joseph/Russell
Swann - Grigg
Lockyer - Carrazzo/Joseph
Thomas - Johnson/Russell
Pendelbry - Simpson/Gibbs


- We could do with a fit Armfield against Collingwood with their long list of quality small players. I would have Armfield in ahead of Bentley. By the look of the team list, I would guess Armfield might be a late in if he can pass a last minute fitness test..

Also do you think if Yarran was told to tag Shaw, would he do the job?

Cloke - Bower
Anthony - Austin/Jamison
Medhurst - Jamison

 

[Alpha1]

Collingwood supporters seem to think that Presti might be a late change for them?

Sore/busted ribs, which is a bit dangerous when number 25 takes flight.

You will be attending tonight A1?

Yes, yes just noticed that.

Want to swap places?

Want to swap places?

Not too sure.

You aren't galavanting about with a club in your hand
looking for baby seals are you?

 

[Alpha1]

No, actually it's too cold and scary outside. Stuck in here with a bunch of poms, bored shitless.

Just remember MacReady is the only one not infected,
and he is the only helicopter pilot.

 

[Alpha1]

How about O'Reilly?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Just stick with the guy that looks like Kurt Russell and you may get through.

 

[Alpha1]

Unfortunately for me none look like Kurt (not that I'm game or anything.)
