[fnm_just a man]

I'm not a Warnock fan by any stretch, and really feel like Cam Wood is well and truly ahead, however, to overcome the disappointment should he be selected, it's worth remembering that Warnock had, what was by his standards, something of a purple patch in the early part of last season, where his effort, at least, was much better.

 

[Jatz]

I'm still extremely confident that Whitey will be in the team named today.

Difficult to see how one of BB or Clem will fit in though. Perhaps someone like Doc, Curnow or Bell could miss, but I can't see it. Fingers crossed we don't have an unknown injury.

 

[Atom Ant]

How do we rate the Tigers midfield?

 

[Jatz]

I don't think BB or CS are fighting for the same spot as White.

What the heck has Warnock got over Wood Can he kick a 50 mtre Goal or make that 65 mtre if the pressure was on he'd bomb out-

 

[Matty411]

Doc will play - don't understand leaving him out.

He can get first hands on the ball in the ruck contest to get it to our midfield.
Agree that Wood is better around the ground but gets smashed in the ruck every time

Everytime you or whoever refers to White as Whitey I see Whiley.

 

[HARKER]

Got Jaksch wrong big time. Embarrassing.

If he can do what he's doing looking like an under nourished third world country refugee........

 

[Jatz]

Haha my bad. I'll make sure I bold the 't' next time

 

[JewellBrownlow]

do you think K.J was a bad pick up?

[HARKER]

do you think K.J was a bad pick up?

Not at all. Just didn't think he would have been ready.
Enjoy being wrong more than being right. Very happy with Jaksch.

Not bad against 3 Geelong Ruckman and clearances stood up

 

[ajb72]

Miles out is a big loss to them. Was one of, if not the factor, of their turn around last year.

Without Miles & Tuck they are down on extractors, and will probably turn to their Thomas.

Expecting Judd & Cripps to have a field day.

@KristianJaksch will debut for Carlton tomorrow, while three key Blues are fit: http://cfcblu.es/JakschDebut #NAVYBLUES

Blues load up for season opener


CARLTON has received a boost ahead of its season-opening clash against Richmond on Thursday night with coach Mick Malthouse declaring vice-captain Bryce Gibbs, Chris Yarran and Robert Warnock would be fit to take on the Tigers.

Malthouse also said former Giant Kristian Jaksch would make his club debut on Thursday night, while the Blues were likely to name one or two debutants from their recent draftees.


Jaksch and Jones will debut

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Yay Gibbs, Yaz and Jaksch!!!

 

[checkpoints]

Punt rd end is full of Carlton supporters this week. Its our home game.
Surely you cant be referring to us

Wait!? Our cheer squad is being situated in the southern stands? Thought I'd be surrounded by tigers supporters. Thanks god. Would have been awkward being the only blue awashed in a sea of tigers...

Cheer squad sits in M3 Punt Rd end behind the goals at our home games.

I still wonder how you can play both Carrazzo and Curnow, as both taggers.
If Carrazzo plays as a tagger then surely Curnow's role is under the spotlight.

 

[thylacine60]

So you were thinking of him all along...

but I was picturing you

 

[HBF]

How do we rate the Tigers midfield?

About the same as ours.

 

[zeeCFC]

Guessing Clem is the sub.

Astbury a slim chance to play for them, Miles will be fine.

Vlastuin, Astbury, Chaplin
Houli, Rance, Ellis
Deledio, Martin, Conca
Lennon, Griffiths, Edwards
Vickery, Riewoldt, Morris
Maric, Cotchin, Miles
Lloyd, Hunt, Grigg, Lambert (s)

 

[kingkingston]

I can't wait until this game starts and i'm excited by how Mick has changed our list over the 3 years and we have remained really competitive
