Preview Round 11 Carlton vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium Sunday 9th August 3.35pm AEST

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Carlton 18.5+ at the line is good value in the wet to any fellow punters out there.

 

[HBF]

Can confirm about the weather. A front came through abt 3.30am and its bleak, wet (heavy rains are forecasted) and windy. I think the weather tomorrow is going to just as bad.

Onto the match hoping the wet weather might go in our favour. I'll have to record as my nephew's basketball match is at the same time.

I think we'll be better equipped than the Eagles. Feel like they don't play in these conditions much.

 

[HBF]

Just plonk Cottrell on Gaff all day. Shut down any potential outside run and make it a slog

At least Gaff will take him to the footy. Not a bad idea at all.

I live a couple of hundred k's north of Perth and it's been bucketing down here most of the morning. The same front will hit Perth hard after 12 by the looks of it. It might give us the opportunity to be in the contest the entire game because it should negate their frenetic style and even things up a tad. Soccer it to advantage at every opportunity and fingers crossed they don't pay BS deliberate crowd OOBs - which is one of the biggest blights on the game lately. One way or the other we'll learn a fair bit about our blokes this arvo. It's gonna be a challenge but I reckon we're up to it. 1 hour, 32 till bounce down. Go the Mighty BLUES!

We will know if we are in this game in the first 10 minutes, not by the scoreline, but intent/intensity

We looked a million dollars the first 15 mins last week too. I'll be waiting a bit longer to make that decision. Half time for me.

100% Agree.

I've got a 2 leg multi on this and the Melbourne game later.

Time is people's safety mechanism, i get that

Broome?

 

[HARKER]

Any word on how our 2's went?

Not number 2's I hope.

Good question. I'll check the Eagles board and our Twitter to see if someone has something

EDOT: Here we go

 

[LanceRomance]

We are going to get absolutely smashed.

In a good way or a bad way?

 

[BlueZombie]

Broome?

Gero.

Reserves wrap just came out, kicked 13 goals in 3 periods, 12 aside. Marchie and and Dow returned from injury, Dow apparently BOG. Lang kicked 4, Owies 3 - seems as tho Honey is the hold over emergency

I’ve gone long in a same game multi. Blues at the line, Walshy to a goal and Kennedy to get 20+. Pays $16. Kennedy is the worry but I like him in the slop.

Dow in, pls.

And why does he look like a mix of Billy Gowers and Angus Schumacher now?

 

[BlueZombie]

Just found out Cottrell's Granpappy played for us too.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Any chance Petrevski-Seton spends time forward today?

Whenever I've watched the Blues, it has appeard to me that he was either playing across half back or as a mid who gets back to help clear defence.

but I'm hearing rumours he may be a goalsneak today.

So happy to hear this. This is so encouraging.

Just adds more weight to my argument not to trade either Dow or O'brien as part of a trade for Papley as so many on here are suggesting.

They'll come good. Just need a bit more time

Good luck amigo. I'm not going to bullshit but I pushed the line out a bit on Us. And need the Dees under 40 as well. Picked up exactly $100 yesterday on the Port and Lions games.

 

[HBF]

Gero.

Nice.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Yes, and when he comes in, play him in the midfield, not as a small forward please

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Excellent news regarding dow and marchy!!
It’s time for Dow to come into the senior side now! He looks so much stronger now and has got a few games under his belt!! This latest praccy suggesting to me know he’s ready to go and we bloody need him in the guts!!
