Preview RND 1 - Carlton v Richmond Thurs March 18th 7.25pm AEDT @ MCG

What time do teams drop?

After playing us.

 

[FRUMPY]

Which makes the Betts decision even stranger.

It's a long season, no point playing someone if they aren't right to go (presuming he isn't in the side)

After playing us.

When are our teams announced

 

[Zuribagger]

After playing us.

I had the impression last season that this was a thing, ie teams not performing well after playing us.

Injuries aside, I'm actually very happy with the team selected. Although Cunners wasn't in my best 22, I'm surprised he wasn't even mentioned as an emergency. Personally would be bringing in Stocker as our sub.

Could've potentially brought in Betts but that in my opinion would come at the expense of Newnes, pushing a Fog or Gibbons full time in the midfield.

Backs:	Lachie Plowman	Jacob Weitering	Tom Williamson
Half-backs:	Sam Docherty	Liam Jones	Adam Saad
Centreline:	Will Setterfield	Patrick Cripps	Marc Murphy
Half-forwards:	Lachie Fogarty	Harry McKay	Jack Newnes
Forwards:	Zac Fisher	Jack Silvagni	Michael Gibbons
Followers:	Marc Pittonet	Sam Walsh	Paddy Dow
Interchange:	Sam Petrevski-Seton	Lochie O'Brien	Levi Casboult
	Ed Curnow
Emergencies:	Matthew Cottrell	Matthew Kennedy	Oscar McDonald
	Liam Stocker

Cunners not even an emergency is interesting.

 

[james Dean]

I’m going to be an optimist and say that Martin would have played one of his shit games anyway.

Would have much preferred Cunners to O’Brien

 

[LanceRomance]

Strong line up.

 

[Arr0w]

Don't mind it. Feel like there will be a late change and then the sub

Yeah we're not going to get close and the emergencies are pretty yuck.

Cuners njured or not considered in best 26 (not including those injured)? If he is fit, it must be almost curtains for him at this rate

Someone in for Newnes you thinking?

You're a 50/50 chance really

Cunners not even emergency says he's injured, and of course he is ****ing injured, because we are carlton and we are injured

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Sorry to hear that sad news, but it's great that you are singing her praises - she would love to hear that!

I really wish I had gotten to visit her more often these past few weeks and months since lockdown was lifted.

If I am unable to attend the game (i feel like will have to stay home and look after my Mothe) , I am happy to give away my ticket for free. It's top level of The Ponsford Stand but I also bought an upgraded seat there, so should be good seats.

Will let you all know tomorrow about Midday/1 pm if I will be going or not and will DM anyone interested my ticket/QR code. Only thing is that it's a concession ticket, not sure if they still do hard checks on concession tickets at the G.

Is Cunningham the sub?

Think that's probably a bit alarmist.

But I am curious as to the reasons why.

Maybe the plan is a full year of midfield development rather than being banished to a forward pocket.

Getting beyond a joke these same players are continually injured....Jack Russell not doing what he was brought in to do I'm afraid.

No he's not named in the 26, so either injured or playing reserves

Don't think we do late changes anymore. Would have been Martin, if so, to alter Richmond's plans.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Poor Martin. All he wanted, was to be part of a game with a decent crowd. Couldn’t even get passed the post for a 50,000 crowd.

 

[koutaaa]

Really would of preferred stocker and cunners in. Still a decent line up to be honest

 

[morningbrown]

No Cunners is really strange unless he's injured. Backing Paddy Dow

for a big game. Tigers still get the points by a few goals.

Why Stocker? What's he honestly shown? Let him play some vfl and show he's ready.

 

[DEliades]

Good side with what’s available. Let’s not forget, it’s work rate and hunger for the guernsey over names. We must believe
