Preview Rnd 1 - Carlton vs Richmond Thursday 2nd April 7.20PM @ MCG - TEAM post #821

[AceAndy]

New season, new ambitions.

Good test Round One against a 2015 finalist.

Supremely confident kids.

Baggers by a point.

Hope it is not that close, not sure my heart could take it.

certainly not if you are going to wear that red dress again.

We lost 7/8 games last year 95 minutes in with a chance to win, MM has supposedly got rid of the fellas that consistently let us down at that mental edge stage........and at my age, will take any win.

Ok , I wont wear my red dress from now on

Good Stick to the little black number

Thanks. We did and took a while to talk to somebody who knew anything. Eventually somebody just told us to go to "Carlton Central". Before I just put into the 'too hard' basket, I thought I'd be put the feelers out to the learned folk on Bigfooty who might be able to tell me whether this is worthwhile for a group so large.

I'm just making an assumption here, but I'm fairly certain that Carlton Central is a little area just for kids beside the MCG. They run AFL drills for the kids, facepainting, and have players drop by that aren't playing etc. Not sure where it will be though so if you want to know for sure, then I'd either email or tweet the club.

Interesting vid of Mick today outlining the possibility of some young players getting an opportunity in Rd 1.
Also referred to it as the new Carlton.....interesting

 

[BeligerentBlue]

She seeing anyone at the moment?

I've got a good feeling about this, let's make it happen.

 

[BeligerentBlue]

Seriously. Guy makes an innocent comment about a good omen and then this all happens

All good, unless the moderators have disappeared something bad, there is nothing there to cause offence.

 

[ferrisb]

In that case, one more comment.

Please make sure your daughter attends one of our matches against hawthorn this year

I quite liked the last time we had three debutants against Richmond.

 

[Jatz]

Yay! Will be good to see some of the new generation run around.

Hi klompy! Unless things have changed since last year, there's normally a kids' area outside gate 6 that opens up an hour and a half before the game starts. I'm not sure if that's what they're referring to, but even if it's not there's an area set up for kicking, handballs, obstacle course etc that the kids will find entertaining.

Probably see's it as his team now.
Gotten the players he wanted, and shipped out he ones he doesn't.
Bring on Thursday night.

Ah! Reminds me, new episode tonight.... woot! I do know a girl who could be her long-lost identical twin. Should dress up as Maggie on Halloween lol

Is she single?

New season, new ambitions.

As has already been said, gee I hope not. I fear I may have a heart attack at the ripe old age of 25.

 

[ShanDog]

Is she single?

Hah! Nah sorry mate. Not into men either, so there are a few hurdles trying to make that work lol

 

[Sam The Doc]

Everitt to Martin when he plays in the midfield. White to take him when he goes forward. Curnow to Cotchin.

For godsake, keep Tuohy away from him.

 

[marcmurphy#3]

Are teams released tonight or tomorrow?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Apparently tonight

 

[jj1978]

Carlton to win by 60 points... just a vibe with what we're building... our defense will be settled with Jamo, Rowe, Jacksch all leading the way with White and Hendo possibly floating through to assist. Plonk Casboult, Jones and Hendo/White in the forward 50 with Menzell, Thomas, Tutt/Smith to the mix... Judd is on fire and Murphy and Gibbs look ready to rock'n'roll... and Cripps ready to do some heavy lifting. Bell has been taking the incredible hulk tonic as is ready to smash... I just feel we've settled on a good game plan that's been in the making since last year... we have good X-factor around the ground in Yarran, Menzel, Everitt, Jones, Thomas, Smith? whom if they get on a bit of a roll look out..

 

[Sam The Doc]

I'd assume extended squads if anything, if it were tonight.

True. Jones will kick like 10.

I thought we cut all the quitters last year.

 

[Kramer1]

For godsake, keep Tuohy away from him.

Why?

Tuohy owned Martin so hard in 2013 that it kicked off a whole new round of foreign ownership debates.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Youngsters Menzel and Cripps to announce themselves with big games, new guys Jaksch and Jones to dominate and project players Caz and Bell to explode. Tigers will have no answers as they were preparing for our usual match winners - Murphy, Gibbs, Judd, Yarran, Hendo, etc.
