2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

[flyboy77]

Could be a baptism of fire for Weitering?

Why not.

I have no idea what our team is going to like which is a good thing because neither will Richmond.

U wouldn't want to put him on Reiwoldt or Vickory in his 1st game... ?

Tigers will play the three talls up front IMO especially if the weather is good......Riewoldt, Vickery and Griffiths.......the latter has been concussed in one NAB game from memory.

Jamison, Rowe and Weitering should be our talls down back...., I reckon Weitering would get Griffiths who while bigger is less of a threat IMO and our young bloke might be able to
run off him and get some easy footy..
Martin and Deledio are also capable targets....hope we win the clearances and its doesnt get down their end too often...

He's up for it.

We won't come close to winning a game 'til round 6.......

I've heard a whisper that despite being named for tonight Vickery is likely to be out for weeks or months.

There are allegedly very real concerns about his fragility and the long term effects from his recent "event." According to my source they have been warned that they could be exposed to "significantly liability" if they play him again too soon and he has another "incident!"

He has been referred to by some sources as potentially the next Koschitske!

LP with all due respect, you seem to hear a lot of whispers.

That is a real positive for us. I hope we can make good advantage of it.

I hope they play him. If he is underdone, that is good for us.
I hope he is not too bad; I may not like some teams and some players, but I don't wish them to have brain damage. (Sorry, Essendon, it is too late for you. )
