Rd 19: Pre Game Irritations: Carlton vs Geelong

[ElwoodBlues1]

Looking forward to seeing my first match for a few weeks after my trip to deepest northern Australia. A tough one but go Blues, I fancy an upset! 

Welcome back Cookie....hope you are right about the upset....... :-X

I was wondering where you'd got to and I suspected an outback adventure 

Welcome back, you're just in time for an upset!

With North's win we're down to 17th and (up) to Pick 2. ???

We play...6th, 8th, 9th and 12th after the cats tonight which doesn't look too bad until you look further into it.

6th - Sydney (away)
9th - West Coast (away)
8th - Bombers (who always lift against us)
and
12th - Hawks (Who we haven't beaten since 2005) That team included some blokes that played in our last premiership! (Kouta, Campo)

FWIW, Lions play Kangas, Dogs, Suns, Dees, and Eagles with only the last 2 not at the gabba.

Still a shot at the spoon from here!  :-[

Yes, I was also wondering the same. Welcome back cookie.

The only upset brewing tonight will be my tummy upset - should hit by about half time I reckon.

I'm not sure how people are thinking we're a chance. Anyhoo..............

Touhy playing his 108th consecutive game.

We're a game and 10 points in percentage ahead of them.
I think they'd have to win two to go above us (unless we really went to pieces).
I don't think that's something that would be in their interests

Thanks guys. Just back from trip to Gulf Savannah ending up in Karumba. A few dramas including a wrecked gearbox which was fixed in Blackall. Anyway, we're looking a bit shakey atm but not giving up yet!

Wasn't in their interests last time when they beat us to rise from 18th to 17th allowing us to pick up Weitering, leaving them with Schache....but it happens.

FWIW, i reckon they'll beat the suns and the kangas.

If our % takes a hit like this every week, might be a non-issue.
