Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game

[Bear]

Odds of $2.00 for the Tiges is a special from one of the betting agencies. 
$20 maximum bet is the catch....

Worth taking if only to taunt the Footy gods.

Pretty darn solid team that....

Will look better again with Willo and Lang in the 22.

I copped flak for saying Weitering might miss out because we're too top heavy. Instead its McKay who misses out.

If Weiters ends up playing forward i'll be filthy!

Would much prefer McKay to play forward, then have Weitering moved forward because he's not needed in defence, but we'll see how it plays out.
The rest of the side is ok. Probably wouldn't have had Mullett in there, potentially not Byrne either, but good enough i guess.

Weitering may get the tag on Rance which Mckay couldnt do...

Kennedy on Martin, E. Curnow on Cotchin...? Daisy Half Forward, Byrne Half back....reckon Lamb might start and Garlett on the pine..

If we pop the tigers balloon you won't care if Weiters' shows up in a pink tutu and does a rendition of Swan Lake, McKay hasn't earned his spot yet, hopefully he will soon.

Carlton
B: Kade Simpson, Liam Jones, Caleb Marchbank
HB: Dale Thomas, Jacob Weitering, Lachie Plowman
C: Aaron Mullett, Patrick Cripps, Marc Murphy
HF: Zac Fisher, Levi Casboult, Jarrod Garlett
F: Matthew Wright, Charlie Curnow, Jack Silvagni
R: Matthew Kreuzer, Matthew Kennedy, Sam Petrevski-Seton
Int: Ed Curnow, Ciaran Byrne, Paddy Dow, Jed Lamb

Emg: David Cuningham, Cameron Polson, Harry McKay, Cameron O'Shea

I think Mullett is a little lucky. He hasn't set the work on fire as yet. I just hope Garlett and Kreuzer are fit: I hate playing guys who are not 100%.

Richmond

HB: Nick Vlastuin, Jayden Short, Brandon Ellis
C: Shaun Grigg, Shane Edwards, Trent Cotchin
HF: Jason Castagna, Jack Graham, Jacob Townsend

Emg: Anthony Miles, Sam Lloyd, Callum Moore, Ivan Soldo

I really want to pound these poseurs.

On paper it looks like a fairly even match up, then you tell yourself that Richmond are the reigning Premiers and it wasn't a fluke.
They are very hard at it, well disciplined, play for each other and have some seriously underrated players, if we get within 20 points I'll be happy.

I cant see us parking Charlie Curnow at Full Forward or even as a permanent 4 quarter foward...  ?

I think we could had squeezed Harry in... oh well.

Can't wait... Bring it on.
