Round 18 - Carlton v North Friday 18th July 7.50PM @ Etihad

[Mentallo]

Keep in mind guys Northern Blues play Sunday and then our seniors play Friday night, thus 5 day break.
I am guessing changes will me 2 or less unless (eg Menz & Carrots) unless players are withdrawn from the Northern Blues line up tomorrow so they can play Friday night.

 

[Buddy33]

oh warnock, i am your biggest fan.
expecting him to single handedly thump north

 

[King of Ruin]

They could ruck, Boomer Harvey. They would still win.

 

[blues4flag]

What does Tom Bell offer the side other than endeavour? He's a liability at the moment with his disposal and general lack of footy smarts.

 

[Rover391]

In all seriousness who are we actually playing?

 

[AB_Blue]

Pretty sure it's norta melba

 

[juzza316]

No team better than 'Who Gives a Shit' to ensure our season keeps going down the toilet!

 

[Weiterbot23]

Can anyone explain why Graham hasn't really been given a chance? Seems to rack up a lot of disposals in the VFL. Surely playing him over someone like McLean in the hope that he'll become and upgrade would be the way to go given this season is now about tanking for another Whitefriars product in petracca to team with murph.

I would love to see him without the vest next week.

Yes, we don't want our seniors to run out of steam at half time .....

 

[Ellas Ellas]

This is actually a game we could win because North have a tendency to be hot and cold. Two hot performances you don't have to be a Philadelphia Lawyer to know what comes next (Pagan's fav).

 

[Silvagnis]

Surely Lucas is a better option then Ellard. Especially considering DE just came back.

Is Buckley likely to be fit enough to play against Norf?

 

[BlueBelle]

Hope Bucks, Cripps and Menz are fit enough to come back in Friday night. I still think we are one tall short in the backline too. Therefore, I'd bring Waite back in and put Hendo down back.

Samantha Lane asked Mick about Waite. Calf Injury...

Really? Thought he was playing for the NB's today?

 

[Azul]

Nope, not according to Mick's press conference.

That's different from Harker's teamsheet from noon yesterday. As if Sam was somehow supposed to have done her homework in knowing about a late change - I don't think surly Mick likes her much; that cryptic 'micro/macro' thing left her confused.

 

[serenityNow]

Who gives a shit by 10 goals.........




Can't wait till we play the bye.

 

[AB_Blue]

McInnes - Jamo - Simmo
Walker - Rowe - Doc
Gibbs - Graham - Everitt
Robbo - Hendo - White
menzal - Cas - Yarran
Warnock - Murph - Judd
curnow - Bell Thomas - s bucks

Out 2e, McLean, Johno, ellard
In bucks, Menz, Andy Mac, Robbo

 

[Azul]

Out 2e, McLean, Johno, ellard

BJ kicked 12% of his team's score last night. Not bad from a 3rd gamer.

 

[Blue4Life]

hate it when we leave guys like McLean in against shit teams...they play well and malthouse gets fooled into playing them again.

Did anyone else get a call about buying a carlton raffle ticket during the week? Love it how they only call after a win lol

B: McInnes - Jamison - Rowe
HF: Yarran - Docherty - Simpson
C: Gibbs - Graham - Everitt
HF: Reynolds - Henderson - White
F: Menzel - Casboult - Thomas
R: Wood - Murphy - Judd
I/C: Curnow - Bell - Buckley - Cripps (s)

Out: Walker, McLean, Warnock, Ellard
In: McInnes, Cripps, Wood, Buckley

Walker has been butchering the ball. McLean is spud. Warnock makes McLean look like the greatest AFL player ever. Ellard just doesn't feature in our club's next premiership.

Bring in McInnes so he can get a few games in the seniors before the end of the year, a taste for next year. Cripps can come back in as the sub as he is down on match fitness and we can play him just about anywhere. Wood comes in because Warnock.

That's a team that is achieving something. Getting guys into the seniors who we want to kick on. Robinson can spend another week on the sideline. He has annoyed me. He can come back in if someone is injured or matchups are horrible.

Wanted to fit Holman in there but unless I dropped a key player like Curnow or dropped Bell after one game back I couldn't.

other than Father/Sons who will?

 

[choo]

Bring in Scotland to punch Thomas in the mouth.
That is all.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Waite a late withdrawal from NB today
