Game Day Rnd 16 - Carlton v Melbourne Game Day Discussion

[Cripps17]

Cripps injury allows someone else to step up in the midfield.
Cuningham, SPS? Doc?
Would say Charlie if he wasnt playing so well up forward.

Doc for me.

 

[koutamarto]

Never seen a player look like a dog chasing a car more than Zac Fisher. Love the looks of him but surely the kids just needs to play some VFL to find his way!

 

[omdd]

Kerridge is the reason why we need to hit the draft hard at least one more time. our rotated fringe players are VFL level

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I... I changed my tip to Melbourne 5 mins before the opening bounce.

Thanks...

 

[HBF]

Doc in the midfield.

 

[Kramer1]

How can you say SPS isn't being carried. He's been gifted the last 4 games he's played. They certainly havent been earnt.

Most tackles on the ground, finding space and a little bit of ball...he's doing fine.

 

[prisoner777]

How often is Murphy giving off hospital passes? Lost count over the past month how many I've seen.
And Seriously he hasn't played a captains game for quite some time now. We need more from him. He needs to step up big time.

Sadly, despite his great talent, I don't think it's in his nature to play a captain's game.

 

[Mr_Plow]

doubt it or he's probably be heading to hospital. andy mckay said hes staying at the ground

So by the sound of it, Cripps with a bruised calf. Thank GOD it's not a break. Won't take any further part in the game though he will be watching so another good sign is he's not being sent off to hospital. White out for the game as well, knee injury they don't know the extent.

You can be patient with a fractured fib, doesn't rule it out.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Looks like we're starting with 7 behind the centre....anyone at she ground confirm???

 

[I bleed Blue]

Haven't really seen Jones today....

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I hate not seeing Cripps there

 

[passmark]

Got to keep jones near goal

 

[LanceRomance]

passmark
Any pregame cockiness I had has dissipated thanks to The injuries

 

[Deep Blue]

He might be a bit slower but at least Graham is more composed than Kerridge. He'll be a back next week I think.

Keep saying this re Graham. His turnovers are just momentum changing, morale-sapping and soul-destroying. Don't like being too harsh, but this bloke has to play with NBs full-time! Hard, tough, fit, but a liability! No more chances for me! Graham may be slow but he doesn't quite make a meal of things the way Kerridge often does!

 

[HBF]

Not the start we wanted.

 

[prisoner777]

C'mon boys we need to fire.

 

[T2B_]

TMac can you ever ****ing miss

 

[koutamarto]

Ol Weiters. just had 3 in a row kicked on him.

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Back to the VFL Sam.

******* firing squad!

 

[dragonsblues]

On a positive note, that first quarter showed that when we win it out of the centre we will look like a more attacking side. Can't wait till we get a good group of young midfielders.

I suspect no Cripps is going to be telling however

 

[ODNBlue]

I don't think Cripps could walk on it if it was broken. Think (hoping) its a calf injury Eskie.

You can walk on a broken fibula.

 

[Kramer1]

Gee McDonald a fair kick for goal. Kicked some rippers in recent weeks.

C'mon boys...hit back.

 

[wow_jones]

How long will Cripps be out with a bruised calf?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

McDonald the difference atm.

Who's on him?
