TDK selection now looks more important.

If Charlie is a late scratchy, I tip young will come in to the side which adds a bit more flexibility down back and we can play TDK 75% forward and 25% ruck

Seems that way but I hope not, might sound funny saying this but he is not a genuine mid. Great for the centre clearance stuff but I would rather him in the F50 , than racking up loose ball gets across the back half or centre.

Fully expect him to line up at centre bounces, but then hand off the ball chasing to Edwards / one of your many mid-forwards. Basically play as a forward who starts at the centre bounce.

i sincerely hope these curnow rumors' are false.

 

[Zlatan]

All I’m looking for tonight is 4 competitive quarters of footy, no fade-outs by us or huge patches of dominance (leading to multiple consecutive goals) by the Tigers.

Give me that, and let the result fall where it may.

 

[AceAndy]

i sincerely hope these curnow rumors' are false.

Me too.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Pressure is the key, 4 quarters of it…
Midfield, Stoppages, Forwards and Defenders…
Keep building on the small sample size so far and we’re up to our eyeballs in this…
Blues by 19pts Go Baggers…

 

[Brezsa]

Me too.

Me three

 

[reubsblues]

**** im nervous about tonight
Huge game for the club i think
Break this hoodoo we have against them

 

[FRUMPY]

i sincerely hope these curnow rumors' are false.

yes and no. If he is indeed sore, then dont play him, get him 100% right

 

[carltonchelsea]

understandable to feel a bit nervous about tonight. 8 years of dominance over us. However, history tells us that after winnnibg a few flags teams typically head south and sometimes quickly. If we allow them to bully us they may maintain an edge that way but if we press hard we should get the job done. Our in game mental state will play its part. Just got to have the belief.

No team can bully Cripps, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy.
No team currently in the AFL and more probably in history.
Ain’t happening tonight ain’t happening in the near future.

Flogbook fan page most likely or one of those Twitter fan accounts.

probably complete bs

Oh wait it's a Richmond supporter.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

He was in 'conditioning' a few weeks ago, missed the first praccy, then into the 2s for the 2nd praccy. So assume that's it.

Also, we've only made 3 changes from the 22 that started against the Dees, and 2 of them were rested after getting minor injuries against the Saints.

I believe he missed a few weeks of preseason after he hit himself in the head with a torpedo:

 

[Kernafides]

Bit alarming a midfielder taken at 3 without any major injury issues hasn't come on... Even less than SPS.

Yep Paddy Wow is looking more like Paddy Ow

 

[Ken Navies]

yes and no. If he is indeed sore, then dont play him, get him 100% right

Maybe Ed just needs to ease into the season?

 

[WFGodot]

Would anyone really be shocked if it were true? Would just be our luck

Stirring the pot methinks, but lets face it, CC could pull a hammy lacing up his boots.
Pretty much everytime he goes near a ball this year I'll worry. We are really easy targets for this kind of rumour.

 

[Coona Blues]

What a great day. Grandchild number two born on the day we smash the Tigers by 8 goals.

Congrats mate. Had third, first grand daughter born last week. Family gatherings were getting dull for a. Few years, now have 3 grandkids and a 5yo (second time around) daughter. Never a dull moment now. Daughter been indifferent on Blues/footy for last couple of years. Now declares her new Carlton polo her favourite shirt and watches games with Dad(might have a little to do with the treats on offer) Did ask to go to Auskick though…

 

[jezzajay]

I call BS. Charlie looked fine at the skate park last night.

Was that before or after the triple somersault in thongs on the slippery wet concrete ramp.
