2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

[Mondy]

Damn, Rowe and White, we are indeed a spud team.

Agreed.  If Plowman was fit you'd have to think that he was in our top 22.  And then there's Jaksch.  I'd like to think he's in our top 22, but he's been a major disappointment so far. 

The tragedy is that if Thomas was playing White would still be in the team.  Lamb is probably on there because Thomas isn't playing.

No Jacksch is disappointing.

Been ill apparently and hence didn't play NAB Challenge. Unlikely to play yet.

New blokes who did well in NaB were rewarded. Can't fault that.

Team's pretty Ok on paper. Reckon we will be super competitive tomorrow.

As our only small forward Lamb is not up against Plowman, White or Jaksch for a game... Clem for now and eventually Sumner.

I thought Lamb played a cracking game against Sydney anyhow. Set up a couple of goals and his tackling was the best I've seen in our forward line in a while.

I know we finished last in 2015 but these are games we should win. I don't rate Richmond, they are pretenders of the highest order and with the outs they have, they should not win. These are the games I want to win no matter our predicament, no matter our ladder position.
Go Blues

Funny they would be saying the exact same about us I'm sure.

Supreme optimism GIC but I like it ????

Agreed.

On the ruck side of things I think Phillips is a great choice of ruck if Hampson is playing for 9thmond, Hampson jumps over Kreuzer but he won't jump over Philips and neither will Vickery.

If we are ever going to upset an opposition, tonight feels like it's ripe for the picking!

Cannot see the teams lining up as picked, 9thmond have a very small defence listed if the ground conditions are good. But they have a few good runners, not sure who gets Sam Lloyd, probably Docherty.

[Thryleon]

I expect us to work over Shane Edwards and find out whether or not he is up for tonight or whether or not he is carrying a knock.

Thats how you know if we have turned the corner.

Find a weakness, and press on it till it breaks.

We havent had that mentality for a very long time.

Interesting listening to SEN this morning, Watto, Ox and Leech did there final 8 predictions. None of them had the March Premiers (ie 9thmond) in their 8.
