Pre Game Promise AFL Rd20: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Gointocarlton]

A game between the 2 most disappointing sides of the season. Both lack real pride. Whoever has the least pride might decide it.

Are you kidding? They showed plenty. Its Noble's first year, new system, new methods, I think they have done ok. We are clearly one of the biggest dissapointments of the year based on some of the pre season expectation. We are the leagues biggest cocktease without a shadow of a doubt.

Such a dispirited result today, I certainly won't be looking at it.  You can't dish that stuff up and assume any interest. 

Cap I couldn't watch anymore after about 10 min into the 3rd.

If we get the players in that i suggested above, we will win this by 5 goals.
If we use the same players as today, then yes, i agree with you.

Krudd, mate, while if McKay is fit coming in is a no-brainer, the inclusion of Charlie, Kemp and or Honey/Ramsay would require some semblance of vision. Even if we did I still think we have no chance. This is a carbon copy of last year where we lost, by memory, 4 of the last 5 including one against the wooden spooner. The similarities are scary.

Signed off at about the same time GTC.  I just don't care anymore. :-X

Watched the Saints today. They played 4q of competitive team football.
We dont have a hope in hell of winning this one. Saints by 30+

They have been travelling all over the country while we have been sleeping in our own beds. Has to be an advantage.

Only if we wake up and play competitive football

Be mighty helpful if Marshall cant play.....being the Jekyll and Hyde team we are we will probably come out motivated this week
and give a good performance.

We first of all need ALL players to be playing for the team and doing the team things rather than trying to be an individual hero. I think this is a major factor that is holding us back and stunting our development.

I think it is important for both Charlie and the team that he plays a couple of games this year to give himself confidence to take on a full preseason with the comeback behind him and to kill the ‘Charlie speculation’ that would linger all the off season. Get him back, let him run around and get some confidence in his body, and then let him move forward like a normal player.

Charlie was basically told he wouldn't be in for Ed 200th but should be in for the next week...which is this game.

Kemp has had enough hitouts now that he should be given a crack at it.

Obviously Harry is an automatic.

I also think its time to give Honey and/or Ramsay a crack. Both have been in the emergencies at various stages this year and deserve their shot.

As mentioned, there will be a few forced outs - Williams and IMO Betts will make 2.
I have seen nothing from Cottrell for a month or more now that makes me think he deserves a spot in the side.
Williamson might be offering a smidge more, but not deserving either. Let Kemp try his role.
Murphy had no influence on the game and should be limped to 300 via the medical sub at most.

I don't think i'm asking much.
