Do we want to play that badly? So it seems. Will there actually be a round 2?
Not gonna give it the time of day night

I'll watch, footy is footy, expecting a heavy loss vs the reigning premiers.

Don't know what to expect, shortened quarters, special playing conditions, it's all TBA.

Lot of eyes watching this, I don't expect us to win but we need to put on a good show or it could really set us back. If there was a night for Eddie et al this was the game.

If there was a night for Eddie et al this was the game.Spot on. Our achilles heal has been our ability to score and we go into rnd 1 with a weak fwd line. They go in with the leagues most potent. I hope it doesn't get ugly but I fear it will. Amazing how 1-2 players evens up the ledger. This game is tailor made for Charlie and Eddie. IMO, Harry hasn't struck a blow yet in the sense that he hasn't taken a game by the scruff of the neck. Charlie and Eddie (despite his age) can. I dont understand the non selection of TDK, he has X factor, crashes packs and competes hard.

Players must maintain the 1.5m social distancing rule
I can’t see why any playing conditions would need to be modified for tonight’s game (if it goes ahead). However, if the season has to be shoehorned into 4 months or so, playing conditions would be modified to allow teams to play 3 or 4 games in a fortnight. Perhaps we may just see a lightning premiership.
Another possibility is games at Princes Park; a lot cheaper than playing at an empty MCG.

We have been pretty good at that in recent years.
Re: Pre Game Permutations: AFL 2020 R1 Carlton vs Richmond - BluePhantom - 03-18-2020
shortened qtrs will be good for us, at least we won't get any goals kicked against us in red time now. :
Re: Pre Game Permutations: AFL 2020 R1 Carlton vs Richmond - Professer E - 03-18-2020
Yep, I'd have Played TDK as well, put the wind up 'en a bit and give them something different to think about as they probably reckon they have Levi, the blob and JSoS covered. Team looks very same same as last year, which doesn't excite.
Re: Pre Game Permutations: AFL 2020 R1 Carlton vs Richmond - Gointocarlton - 03-18-2020
Something interesting mentioned in the HS was the fact that being crowdless, will it assist players who have the goal kicking yips? Maybe Levi will drill every opportunity.
