Pre Game Promise AFL Rd20: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[kruddler]

Prime time Friday night slot! I can hear the howls of derision now from others about how we stunk it up.....again.

If, (and when ) we win on Friday night, the media will have to stand up and take notice. Not make judgements based on 2nd hand opinions and highlights that the majority of the media do nowadays.

Its exposure that we don't usually get.
Lets make it work for us.

Wonder which Carlton will turn up. Will the media pounding and criticism get us up or will we just turn up and go through the motions. Hard with the injury list.

What is totally ridiculous is if we were to win then beat the Gold Coast the week after we'd very likely sit in the 8 (do trek to Adelaide to play Port the week after which will put paid to that). That would do the media's head in...haha. We don't deserve to be at all but that's how $hit others around us are going too. Don't see it happening with both the injury list and player attitude, although the latter changes on a weekly basis. Charlie may play if McKay is out and put Cripps forward again. Not that others, Walsh excluded, are better than Cripps, but played in the midfield they play alot good football, compared to when they are not there. We actually gain quite a bit.

Charlie needs to play even if Harry plays.
Most teams generally have 2 key forwards.....we had zero last week. Just a couple of midfielders impersonating (badly) key forwards.

Not gonna happen Jim.

Can't believe we're on Friday night. Just sets up for a CR@P weekend. I'd rather play Sunday night games from here on in.

I did a quick check and surprisingly, we won last year on a Fri night v GC in Rd 13. Sadly prior to that, we beat NM in R18 on the 18 July 2014.

Doubt it too with the injury list, attitude can change weekly with Carlton, but that is how it stands.

Cripps wont be that effective anyway as his nemesis Steele will be all over him in the midfield....I'd start him forward and go back to
Kennedy as a midfielder who I would play on Steele. Curnow might have to pick up Dunstan who has been playing well...

While I don't think Steele needs to worry about Cripps and will just get plenty of the ball naturally, I would agree with Cripps going forward. The proviso is he actually stops the stupid wrestling thing he tried last week and just plays as a lead up. Also don't care who Ed tags as long as he tags someone.  This is his best role.
