Rd 6: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs. Essendon

[madbluboy]

No I don't remember them. But unfortunately, i remember game well enough.

I'm not much of a gambler either but I was in the bar before the game and overheard some Carlton punters saying the odds were ridiculous considering they were undefeated as well.

I'm not a batting man. Are these odds constantly changing right up until kick off ?

I'm surprised by those odds.

.......and I think we were $6.50 at bounce down Sunday, after being $4.50 during the week.

Yep, that is about right for last Sunday.

Charlie Curnow out with 'illness' 3 days before the game.......that doesn't sound good.

Thanks Jim.

I don't mind that starting 18, and apart from maybe Tutt, I don't mind those interchange options.

[Baggers]

Armfield for Buckley? (small, quick, defensive forward)

White for C Curnow? (third tall)
