Game Day Round 16, 2022: Carlton v St.Kilda

[CaptainRisky]

I’m hoping the mid strengths do the job.

If they do you have a problem as it will mean you have drank about 20 of them

 

[Joffaboy]

They will destroy us. They are playing great football and we are totally out of form.

Carlton by 5 goals.

Can't wait for that to happen then the long awaited announcement of Ratten extension.

All going swimmingly. Back to looking forward to trade week.

 

[pebblesofsand]

More confident about tonight than I was for Essendon and the Swans.

 

[#gosaintas]

Got a bunch of mates coming over to watch it at home including a few Carlton supporters. Gonna be a tough night I suspect.

 

[plugger66]

I’m hoping the mid strengths do the job.

At least it’s heavy in the medallion club.

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Oh yeah, a Friday night prime time Marquee game.
The opposition are in form and we're playing shizenhausen.
What could possibly go wrong!

Time to have a week off here if we lose and ratts is appointed next week.

Will 100 ml be enough?

This isn't his first rodeo

Last chance saloon! On paper our forward line should be able to really worry them seeing as they're basically missing their entire back line but unfortunately every player is desperately out of form. I don't think I've seen an entire forward line out of form like ours is. Wilkie would get Curnow you would think and should give a good account of himself but Curnow seems to be umpired incredibly softly from what I've seen and I can see him getting a few cheap ones. Unfortunately that also leaves Howard on McKay and he will probably give him a bath, 5+ goals. Biggest issue is the midfield though. Cripps is a bit of a cheat code, in career best form and is simply too big and strong, Cerra coming back in doesn't help. There's also a bit of 2017 Richmond about them with their big supporter base waking up, they can really get on a role with the crowd adding to their momentum. Things I want to see:

• Competitive 4 quarter effort.
• Higgins and King regain some confidence and form (if its gonna happen any week it'll be this one)
• Windhager get a run in the middle, will be a great learning experience for him.

Will be very interesting to watch this week, if its another capitulation and thrashing then we are in big trouble with the Ratten extension, cause he clearly would have lost the players IMO. I think we'll give a much better account of ourselves but ultimately Carlton will be a bit too strong. Blues by 25 points.

 

[Sully111]

Crook with Covid. Shivering with fevers etc. Should be a big night of masochism.

 

[lewdogs]

Such is the crossroads nature of this game that if we get a good win we probably start favourites in our next four.

 

[MordySaint]

Selections are the most experienced players we have available.

Should be a very interesting game to see what happens.

Always praying for a win.

 

[Joffaboy]

Time to have a week off here if we lose and ratts is appointed next week.

I will probably get one after the melts

Win it and we are back in with a sniff, lose and it's tank time. Almost impossible to make finals barring an absolute miracle. Dogs did us a favour flaking it.

 

[CaptainRisky]

This isn't his first rodeo

And you would know as you were there too

 

[Saintbloke]

I've been waiting for Butler and Jones to get back some of their attacking mojo for a long while, but so far it hasn't happened. Higgins is hit and miss, so who knows how he will go. I hope King is played up the ground at the first bounce, and Mmbrey back in the goal square. If we win this, then it will mean the midfield have improved 200% over the last few weeks- I don't think this will happen. All we can hope for is TEAM effort.

 

[plugger66]

That was what I meant. Weighing up suspension or self suspension.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Imagine if we come out and just play a blinder and roll em


Who the hell knows what st kilda will turn up

Based on 55 years following them the loser saints turn up more often than the winner saints.

 

[Mowman]

JUST WIN

The only benefit of the umpiring being so shit last week is that we'll complain to the umpiring department and get a soft run for a week.

 

[Sully111]

So is anyone able to come up with the footage of Highmore p*ssing in Ratt's cornflakes?

 

[plugger66]

It’s better they are no good when the side was no good. Doesn’t cost you anything

Even getting an even performance from them is an advantage. Last week we were trying to do more damage to ourselves than the umpires could. We beat them in the end but they had a crack.

 

[jwikked]

I’ll be on a plane for this one thankfully

You don’t have to do a 9/11 but if you want to do a 1/07 into the stadium I’ll understand
