Preview RND 21 - Carlton v GC Suns Sat 7th August 1.45PM @ Etihad - Team - Post #366

[jj1978]

An 8-10 goal win needed for % and perhaps confidence. With finals still a sniff and Teagues demise assured with a loss... omg recent history suggests we know how this’ll play out.

 

[gbatman]

Don't think there is any rush, he's playing a role, McKay is the superstar in form at the moment.

We be better off with both going. Only way to gain touch and confidence, get the ball in your hands.

Great point, would be surprised if he did anything of note this season, but would welcome it. All about round 1 next year for Charlie.

Exactly, it's about getting him some confidence, motivation and game form going into the preseason. Unless the miracle happens and we make finals, then it's about that.

 

[Chewy on your bootsma]

If Port and Freo win (which they currently are), and the dogs win on Friday too, then as long as we play before the tigers and giants on Saturday, then we will be in the 8 (at least momentarily) as long as we win. Season far from done

 

[I bleed Blue]

How are we still a slim chance for finals after our season has been dead for like 6 weeks. Crazy season.

In fact we are in the 8 if we had of just beat North last week...

 

[AlecDuncan]

We will have the easiest of wins against Gold Coast. I am thinking 12 - 15 goals .

It's the North game all over again. Sigh.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

It's the North game all over again. Sigh.

I really don't think any Carlton supporter with a clue thought we'd flog North, in fact most were justifiably cautious given we're normally awful against them, they had hit some good form (yes despite being 18th) and had Cunnington/Anderson returning.

The Gold Coast on the other hand are going like a busted at the moment, we really should be doing the job with little fuss here.

Carroll not ready

bloody hell, will he be ready by xmas, carroll?

 

[jj1978]

It’s like they used all their remaining 2021 juice against the Tigers..we usually do well in our return bouts against them at the tail end of the season once their kids have tired.

 

[CarltonBlooz]

It's the North game all over again. Sigh.

Forward line doesn't consist of short people with occasional glimpses of a tall person this time, we'll be fine.

Don't know what to expect, Harry kicking 5+ would be a highlight for me, be nice to see a Carlton player get the Coleman, been a while.

 

[BigFrizz36]

It's the North game all over again. Sigh.

Not really. We should have Harry and Charlie playing which means that we don't have to take Cripps and Matt Kennedy away from the guts to compensate.

 

[Foucault1989]

OUT: Newnes, Owies, Newman
IN: Ramsay, Fogarty, Kemp

Well TDK won't play so probably should factor that in....

Likewise, really hope Harry can lock away the Coleman with a big bag this week. Scary that he will probably win the Coleman despite still having so much growth in his game. Gun player.

come on - think you're selling us a bit short there - what about our kids getting tired, jj?

Has been nice to see him progress, seems to be comfortable kicking drop punts, on the left side of goal etc now.

Charlie was meant to be the better one too.

To get the full best 22 out and build continuity, that'll be the day.

 

[katmanblue]

We will spank em

Kinky

 

[katmanblue]

OUT: Newnes, Owies, Newman
IN: Ramsay, Fogarty, Kemp

No McGovern? Doubtful. I think he plays. Especially since he played forward, back and ruck in VFL.

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Gold Coasts capitulation also makes it more likely the AFL looks to Clarkson to replace Dew

Meanwhile it’s a relief that Melbourne is back in some form as we need them to defeat West Coast next weekend...

I dont see that....Clarkson is no guarantee at all
Suns have a vibrant list they have access to for the next coupe yrs...without disruption
Injury has ravaged them this year.....injury and still raw
we still need to weary of them taking the 4 pts

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Spanking imo. Will be another % booster hopefully. Then the real tests against Port and Giants await. Finals still there

hopefully we can get 4 goals on them ....our 22 starting to look strong !!

send Ed to Miller. He is their 2019 Cripps - doing absolutely everything.

you named after my fave little deli in elsternwick, rustica?

 

[Red_man2008]

I think Eddie will return.
In: Betts, SPS, McGovern
Out: TDK, Owies, Fisher

 

[thylacine60]

owies stiff there, redders............

 

[Juddrockz]

What Gold Coast are serving up right now is absolutely putrid, if we cannot beat them ... well

Exactly!
