Rd 20 : Pre Game thread - Carlton V Essendon - PaulP - 07-30-2017
Saturday 5th August
2.10 PM
MCG
Sooooooooooo.
Woosh has released the shackles, and in between flaky moments, they play some good footy. Some decent players in good form - Joe D, Hurley, Hooker, Orazio, Tipungwuti, Zach.
And us, well we're us.
Bombers by 5 goals.

Cant see us even getting close but who knows. Just the sort of game we need to at least get the so called leaders to fire up.
Kruezer simply has to right to play for us to have any chance.
I would leave out White and Lamb and bring in Bryne (if fit) and would like to see Pickett get another chance. We need some foot speed to have any chance against them.
Maybe the weather is kind to us and it buckets down like last time. ;D

I don't rate this mob that highly, IMO we are always a chance with them no matter the ladder position.
Go Blues

Playing this many kids in a side means you will have very up and down moments.
Obviously against the cats it was very much a down moment.
This could be our up moment.....but all logic points to otherwise.
No ruck.
Half a midfield
3rd rate forwardline
We'll need someone playing out of their skins to even give us a sniff.
Curnowfides will need to kick 6!

These boys need to crack in all game like they have been doing not sure what happened against geelong but must not repeat that crap

Be interesting to see if SpecialK is ruled out later today.

I don't think Sumner will get promoted either.

If Kreuzer doesn't come up, I'd be using Casboult and Jones to ruck and play forward.
I would like to see Bolton, somewhat unleash the boys a bit and release the shackles on the game plan we have. It;'s only going to hurt us IMHO from now until the end of the year.
I think some exciting brand of footy to ignite the boys and excite them, get them playing on instinct and use their natural talents, would be ideal right now. I don't think we necessarily need to wait until 2018 for this to occur.
Element of surprise also!
