Round 1 - Richmond vs. Carlton

Re: Mitch Robinson

You haven't really seen him play yet...he's as inside as they come!

Nah I'm just saying that is what the umps love which is why they'll likely ignore him.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

I know it's silly to go by stats, but whats going on with Nathan Brown has he played the whole game? Seemed to get a few kicks early then went off for a while....

Yeah Im disappointed in him. I tuned in at half time and saw he had 50 odd points for my DT.

Now he's only got 57! Gutted.

 

[T-Pain]

carlton should finish this game with 16 - just rest a few more...they can afford to

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Oh no, Cuz! Oh dear. Gotta feel for him. All this and he gets injured.

Was sayin that to my mate the other week and he actually does his hammy.

exaclty

i have a real hatred for robert walls' voice...hard to explain, but it almost puts me in a bad mood listening to it...

And quarters..... can't go a quarter without mentioning something to do with hawthorn...... "That was cyril rioli like" "First goal with his first kick for Buddys cousin"

Re: Mitch Robinson

Despite the fact that he's both a Carlton player AND a ranga ... I like the cut of his jib.

He's also a local Lauderdale boy.

 

[legend166]

100 point thrashing on the cards here.

[XFactor1979]

this is a rout
carlton fans have stopped cheering goals being kicked

 

[krisholio14]

Seriously, just when you think things can't get any worse for Richmond, they do.....

 

[T-Pain]

oh shit, chris newman really is richmond's captain

just remember tiggies - hawthorn never won a spoon under vandenberg

 

[Juddy88]

100+ points here.

Terry Wallace, you idiot.

 

[XFactor1979]

richmond completely and utterly disspirited

 

[Flawed Genius]

Score?

 

[rdhopkins2]

Knee injury to a young Tige? This is going from woeful to tragic.

 

[rdhopkins2]

R 66
c 150

 

[Dixie Flatline]

score?

150-67

 

[jonesy86]

Is the Raines injury serious? Serious DT reprocussions.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Didn't even think Carlton were that brilliant tonight. I reckon Melbourne would have won by 10 goals against the Tiges tonight.

 

[WA ROO]

Only picked Carlton by 21 pts

 

[XFactor1979]

i thought it was matt white that went down

This game is massively over-rated, because it's the first game of the season and the media's fascination with Cousins battle with drugs. There's a huge contrast between the 2 teams in terms of selection policy. Tiges will be playing 5 players well over 30, and likely no first gamers, whereas the Blues oldest player is 28, and will be playing 3 or 4 first gamers. Ratten is going to rely on raw talent and youth to overcome the massive advanatge the Tiges have in terms of experience. Finding it very hard to work out the Blues final 22 because there are so many players battling for positions i.e Hampson V Jacobs for the 2nd ruck, Joseph V Armfield V Browne V Anderson for the small defender role, Eddie V Yarran V Garlett for the small forward position. Also lots of competition for spots in the Blues powerful midfield rotation with Mitch Robinson having an outstanding pre-season, and Walker and Scotland returning for injury, plus Grigg likely to be available after a minor injury. I'd like to see Eddie, Yarran and Garlett all play, and Mitch Robinson debut as well, although a more conservative selection is more likely. The Blues preseason gameplan, has involved a lot more disposal by foot compared to every other team in the comp. I've watched a few Tiges preseason games this year, but still don't understand their gameplan or methodology. I guess we'll know a little more in a few days time. On a pure talent basis, the Blues should win this one very easily - 50 points or more, but anything can happen on the day in these early season game. Prediction - Blues by 58 points.

I really hate when she's right.
