I would be very disappointed if we did not get 50 000 people. But that is me.

Pies are a big side, might stretch us at both ends.

Geelong played a ridiculously tall team against us. Didn't work out for them.

NOT!

Great video though. The SOS highlights were awesome - Serg not much of a technician with the kicking.

No, Serg wouldn't have a chance of being drafted these days, despite his ability to get the pill.  His flat punts seemed to sail through the goalposts fairly regularly though.

MCC which is usually accurate predicts 48,000. Surely more Carlton fans will turn up now.

First time we played them this year the MCC predicted 53,000 and then 60,000 turned up on the day......my sister is good friends with Stephen Gough's PA - we ran into her on the day of the game (as we were sitting in the MCC) and she said that they experienced a late rush on tickets once the weather was forecasted to be good on gameday.....so I would suggest the same thing will happen this time around with A) the weather expected to be good & now B) Jack's inclusion......

I've already had about half-a-dozen Carlton supporters (who haven't been regular attendees this year) wanting to attend purely based on the 'Jack Factor'. It's the perfect game for us to introduce him onto the AFL stage.....gonna be a special moment, can't wait.

I remember Rodney Eade a while back stating quite emphatically that most of the guys he played with wouldn't get a game these days.

Its official, SOS In Tutt Out. Good luck young man.

Imagine how good they'd be with today's fitness and training regimes

I remember John Nicholls being asked how he'd go against the two metre ruckmen and he said it would take him about ten minutes to work out how to beat each one.  Of course, the current ruck contest rules would eliminate most of his ruck tactics.
