Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game

[deags]

Bluesgirl and Caz write great. Would love to see them back at some stage. I left around the same time due to a couple of members that are no longer here, but I found my way back. I hope they do as well.

I remember that day! I think the other person was Age? It's amazing - would have sworn it was at the G?

Now you've got me questioning my memory Cookie  :-\

Carolyn arranged to meet me outside a particular "bar", as she called it.  That sounds more like the G.

I definitely spent half time with her and her son at Docklands but I'm thinking that may have been a different occasion.  I reckon you're right about Age too; another poster who is sadly missed.

G'Day All,

Who here thinks that Harry Mckay should play?

I dont think he should. At this stage he doesn't appear to have the competitiveness we need in all our players if we stand a chance of beating the Tiges.

Harry should definitely play.  He is extremely competitive - perhaps a product of being a twin - but he is yet to really use that competitiveness productively.

At worst, Harry takes a tall defender away from Levi and Charlie.  At best, he clunks a few marks and slots a couple of goals - and he has shown that he can do OK in the ruck.  What's not to like about that?

Yep. Let's get him into the heat, no better way to learn.

Any more word on Houli?

If he and Prestia don't play, we'll win comfortably.

I'd give him the 1st 5 games and see what happens.... let him know that he wont be dropped and tell him to go for it...  It took Hawkins years to come good so I'm not expecting miracles from him just a few goals here and there would be nice.... 

It would be even nicer if he took a game by the scruff of then Neck and kicked a bag...

Nearest the pin round 1 team?

B  Byrne, Ciaran  Silvagni, Alex ®  Plowman, Lachlan
HB  Mullett, Aaron  Jones, Liam  Marchbank, Caleb
C  Curnow, Charlie  Cripps, Patrick  Murphy, Marc
HF  Garlett, Jarrod  Casboult, Levi  Lamb, Jed
F  Pickett, Jarrod  Weitering, Jacob  Silvagni, Jack
R  Kreuzer, Matthew  Kennedy, Matthew  Petrevski-Seton, Sam
IC  Dow, Paddy  Simpson, Kade  Wright, Matthew
  Curnow, Edward     

E Fisher, Zac  Lang, Darcy  McKay, Harry


This is my team from December 13. Pickett / ASOS out injured and Fisher & I guess Cunningham in are the only changes by the looks. Good that the team has some level of predictability to it.

Really wish we'd found a spot for Harry though.
