Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 7: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[ElwoodBlues1]

For some reason we seem to like playing the Dogs. They'd have to be due to go bad...lol.

True, maybe we cop them on their off night with some injuries, like to see Treloar and Naughton out...

[ElwoodBlues1]

Parish 42 disp and two goals.

Had the game of his life , glad it was against Collingwood, soft player who I think wont be able to back up this week...

[PaulP]

Parish 42 disp and two goals.

And the Anzac Medal. Should look good on the CV.

I thought Phillips and 2 Meter Peter played well. You'd think one or both of them would spend time on Harry.

Phillips would be handy for us at the moment.

[ElwoodBlues1]

I hope you blokes that think next week will be a walk in the park are right. Bombers don't look bad at all, certainly by our standards. 

They did play well and its interesting how they have gone some big positional changes ie Laverde at Full Back and Parish into the middle along with a rotating Stringer. Two metre Peter also looks a handy pickup, strong mark and very accurate kick, I can remember your good self saying you thought he might be a good buy at the time.
Saying all that its Essendon and like us they can go from Chocolates to Boiled lollies real quick , bit of a test for Cripps this week
with Langford who has been a nemesis in recent games but Im still confident we have more talent on the park and can get the job done and have a handy win. In the middle and down forward I think is where we win the game, their backline is undersized without Hurley and Hooker and players like Parish wont be getting 42 easy possies like today..

I hope you're right Elwood. I think we should just win by a goal or two, but I don't say that with any great confidence.

We thrashed them by a point last year due to a Liam Jones falcon saving the day....lol.

This week I want to see midfielders play in the midfield, defenders playing in defence, not the other way around.

Your making me nervous Paul... I am relying on the law of averages, the every dog has its day theory ,plus its Essendon and we might get more intensity from the players for a longer period in this game.

[Mantis]

This game against the cheats is a game we should win without a doubt. Hence the law of averages that we have experienced in the past, a win for us should be dismissed immediately. I hate the cheats and actually supported the Pies today. How sick am I. Backing the filth. Not enough alcohol will get me through round 7. Please don’t go 2 from 7 this next round boys. Teague can’t continue to promote what we are trying to build. Eventually minimal results will cost him. We lose this game and you can forget finals footy. The math just won’t stack up. The next 4 games will kill our seasons progress. Let’s just forget honourable losses and pull the trigger.
