Preview Rnd 1- Carlton v Richmond Thursday 16th March 7.20M @ MCG - Team - Post #898

Dwayne Suggesting Pittonet as the sub. TDK rucks entire first half, goes forward second half, stretches the defence late

Pitto subbed in for a midfielder or utility type (Newman???) and then rucks second half.

Gives a fresh ruckman against a solo ruckman.

Honestly I don’t know if it would work, but I’d love to be a a club that would roll the dice and try something out of the box like this & see what happens. Would be a disaster if we need the sub early for an injury

Can't believe Riewoldt is still getting around.

Certainly doesn't worry me as much as he used to.

He's quite often a decoy to get a opposition defender dragged out of the goal area. Hopefully we dont fall for that ole trick.

maybe the defenders can use their eyes and watch where the ball is going as well as where their opponent is positioned- I dont know - just an idea.

Dusty's best years were 2016 and 2017.

Still useful as a 4th string goal kicker, but after that?

Blues by 44.

Agreed.

Reiwoldt still kicked 40 last year which is good but already a big drop from 70+ at his best. And another year older... at 34 one decent hammy / calf away from the end. Cotchin turning 33 will be a worry for them also.

 

[Benaly28]

Do Tigs have one of the most annoying fwd lines... Lynch, Riewodlt, Bolton... they need a few Cotchin elbows and Lynch knees...

Annoying is not the word.

The big 3 for me tonight are Mots, TDK and Cerra.

We get Rd23 Cerra, a TDK who has taken the next step to fulfilling his potential and a Motlop who has real scoreboard impact and we’ll be very hard to stop. On the flip-side, if they are well-beaten, I think we’ll struggle.

what a stage to play on - have to work but finish at 7.30 and will try to keep radio silence on the train home and hit kayo from game start - handy function

open the game thread! this umpie is murdering us, just give him a yellow and black shirt ffs!!

 

[teddy-hopkins]

While I'm here Go Blues lets smash them and well done Jack Silvagni a real footballer, got the feeling we haven't seen the best of him.

Agreed.

I don't think I've copped more sh!t from oppo supporting mates nor defended a player more than I have with Jack. Something about him seems to upset them. I guess they were praying for him to be no good so they could rub it in our faces that he only got a game because of his old man / name / etc.

So we'll done to Jack. He's stuck it up them all so far. Such a great player to watch and can't wait to see him with a premiership medal round his neck in 6 months.

Is it that bloody new fourth umpire by any chance?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I firmly believe if we’re ahead on the scoreboard after the final siren sounds, we are a very good chance of winning.

Getting excited people.

It'll be interesting. They have Ryan as one of their emergencies, we have Pitto. I was originally expecting LOB to be named in the 22, but with announcement of both Hollands and Cowan, it seemed less likely. But who out of Pitto, Plow, Honey or LOB will be sub? I've got no idea, but I'm guessing it will be out of Honey or LOB because of their run... LOB?

Edit: when do we have to name sub? Will we get an idea from the VFL game?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

ridiculous assumption.........

Say anything in footy world with a serious face & people will accept it.

I firmly believe this.

I hope not, guess all will be revealed when the ressies take to the field at 4 o'clock.

Just a tip I've noticed when doing that.

Don't watch the screen when hitting 'From the start'. It has a habit of flashing the live feed for a split second, just long enough to see the live score.

Well, if we lose with a kick after the siren, we know who to blame now.
