I didn't think anything, chuckles, you're making silly assumptions. I just noted your typical attitude.

I'd be very pleased with a 2-4 goal win in a hard battle.
Ok, so here's my prediction of how Round 1 will go...
I'm going to buy a pie and some tomato sauce with it. I have not had a pie at the footy this year. That might be because the season hasn't started yet, but I don't know.
Richmond by 59 points.

If we're serious about this year we should beat them by 5+ goals

Of course it CAN happen, it also COULD happen that we win by 10+ goals or we could win by 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 goals or lose by the same margins it could be a great game or an average game or a shit game, we could...well, I think you'll get the message.If you think that it can't happen again then you can keep on living in your fantasy world my friend. I'll stick to reality
The only reality is that this game hasn't been played yet, we are all fantasizing what may happen and some are positive and some are not.

IMO, a 6 to 10 goal win
That's if we make the most of our opportunities and punish them on the scoreboard and in general play. Maturity plays a massive role in this, and I guess we have to wait and see. You see teams like Geelong do it (not so much going forward) but they consistently smashed teams because they made them pay for their errors. This has been a problem for us in the past two years because the side is still developing. Not like a Melbourne or GWS development phase, but developing mature and experienced footballers who know how to win, and win well. We are striving to be a top 4 side, and all top 4 sides do this very well.

My prediction is there'll be a huge meltdown on here if we lose or even if we get an ugly win.
Round 1 always has the hype etc, but is usually one of the more scrappy games

Please inform me what "silly assumptions" i'm making for saying it's possible we play the same way in our next game as we did in our last game? Are you delusional or what.

Some guy said "If we're up by 5 goals and lose it would be the worse possible start for Hardwick." I simply said another no show 10 goal loss would be a worse start for Dimma.
What else is that statement other than just a fact?
You assumed i thought "it" can't happen again, I'm living in a fantasy world etc When all I actually posted was "thats the spirit".
I didn't comment on anything you posted, I commented on your state of mind. Clearer?

Next time you want to be a sarcastic little rodent maybe pick someone else's post to quote "that's the spirit" on.

It all comes down to Judd's shoulders. If good he will carry them over the line as he has since he's been there, if not we win

Judd didn't play against Tigers last year, still very close
I was looking at an interesting stat, both teams last year averaged roughly 12 goals per game. I'll be very keen to see exactly what kind of setups both teams go with
Vickery, Griffiths, Jack & Maric
Hendo, Casboult, Jones & Kreuzer
I think will come down to who can impact the scoreboard harder out of these 2 sets of talls
Dustin & Menzel productivity on either end will be one to also watch, I think Morris might match up on Menzel and Walker on Dustin
Lighten up. is that quote really too much to handle? But if so, ok, I'll desist.

Nah.. just try to add something of value next time.
Sorry man, I have to disagree on this.
If the difference between Carlton beating us and not beating us actually came down purely and simply to if Chris Judd is fit, then we're having a laugh really.
Carlton will struggle this season and probably win 8 games or less, we are two rungs above them at the moment in terms of list quality and experience.
This match should basically be the equivalent of Carlton Vs. Richmond in Round 1 2009/2010, just with the roles reversed.
If we play below expectations, and they play out of their skins, we may only win by 3 or 4 goals, but otherwise it should be a similar result to those previous Round 1 matches in 2009/2010, just going our way instead.

Rance Maric and Delideo didnt play for us either so whats your point
If you guys are still pinning your hopes on Judd being the player he was and your saviour then that there is Carlton's problem straight away.
As ive said earlier. Carlton will be competitive in most games but if we are serious where we want to be then we must win this by 5-6 goals

Blues are also serious about future aswell, I don't expect it to be a season with high expectations for us and going deep into September but expect it to be one where Blues get more games into younger players and build a solid supporting cast around Gibbs, Yarran and Murphy as expect these 3 to lead us for next few years
I also expect Blues to not only be competitive but to win this game, I agree Tigers should aim to finish say top 6, but also expect Blues to put on decent performances. I put up a stat before on another page showing trends b/w Blues and Tigers games
Tigers have big first haves against Blues but not keeping up same Level of consistency into the 2nd half, I believe will be another close game
I reckon 3. 2 for the shirt and one for the jeans. Plus a splatter of sauce on the Carlton fan's back sitting in front of me (that's if any show up). May or may not be accidental.
