Rd 8: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Port Adelaide - crashlander - 05-07-2016
Carlton play Port Adelaide at Etihad at 1310 next Sunday, 15th May. Could it be 4 in a row?

I won't complain either, although I might look back at the recordings in a few years and try not to cringe. Sunday might well be Pun-day!

Ball movement was better against Lollingwood.
Need class and polish to finish the boys hard work in defence and midfield.
Just keep doing what we have been doing I will be pleased. Curnow, Cripps, Kerridge and Gibbs just cracking in.. get the ball in Gibbs and Murphys hands often because A grade skills are bloody important

Will be interesting to see how the players approach this one. They'd be full of confidence after 3 wins on the trot and should go in as favourites. In the past, this is the type of game they'd really let us down in .
I'm feeling very confident. I dont expect a big win but this team, lead by BB, are a completely different kettle of fish compared to previous teams. Im loving it.

Really looking forward to it. BB won't let us rest on our laurels, we are focused on kicking and gouging our way out of the basement. As that Johnny Cash song goes ' Rollin' around in the mud, the blood and the beer'.

Extra Days rest also suits us. Is JW a sneaky chance to come back? Listening to Trigg on SEN yesterday pre game, he was asked something like "if it was round 22 and a spot in the 8 was on the line, would he play this week". Trigg answered he probably still would have missed a week. he said we have to wait and see if he has full strength in the shoulder. Sounds to me like it wasnt that bad.
Trigg was also asked about contract talks with JW, he joked around about having a contract in his back pocket that tied him to the club for life!! Said that they would get an extention done sooner rather than later.
PS How good is it that an 18 year "old man" is having such an impact on the whole club and supporter base. He is indeed a very special young "old" man. We are blessed to have him.

Port impressive vs a lacklustre Brisbane but I think we will be looking to make it ugly footy and wont cough up as many goals....all teams have one annoying player and for its Jasper Pittard for Port....doesnt miind getting involved in push and shove games(dont know why because he cant fight) but usually comes in late when opposing players are not looking and gets a cheap shot in. Always looking for the easy receive across half back too and generally just annoys me and I hope to see him sat on his backside at some stage...
Port are good frontrunners but I think Kruezer can give us first use vs the inexperienced Howard and we can make a game of it...something flakey about Port
and I reckon a bit of physical emphasis can put them off their game...
