2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne

[kruddler]

Why do you assume that we would have picked the same player?

I don't. We probably would've picked some other bloke who never played a game instead.

Point is, just because OUR side of the trade didn't work out, doesn't mean we lost the trade.

In other news, The Demons don't look that crash hot against the Aints.
We just might be a chance.

Indeed. I don't have any access to watch the game, but they staged a good 2nd q comeback, it looks like they're doing ok on the scoreboard and the stats.

If you have any vision of the game, please let me know your thoughts. Both the Dees and Saints are finals bound according to most "experts".

Melbourne kicked away in the 3rd. Both teams making basic skill errors. Poor decision making.
St kinda engine room shut down in the 3rd

Win or lose, trading away pick 7 for spuds is a bad trade in anyone's language given that we knew exactly what we were getting.

Thanks matey. Dees are 35 points to the good as I write. I can't see us beating them if they're doing this to the Saints, but I'm very happy to be surprised next week.

Demons had an easy win, Brisbane crapping on GC,  Bumblers beating Hawks,  Collingwood pushed the Premiers.
It doesn't look like there are any easybeats with the possible exception of us, we really need to make a statement this week.

Thinking the same thing, we might have improved but so have everyone else and looking for possible wins isnt easy....

GC and Brisbane down here in Melb I think is our best bet....

Not so sure. Watching the games so far, our skills were bad but so are all the other teams. Both saints. And demons looked horrible. The score line is flattering.
Gc and Brisbane - both have a lot of improving to do. Hawks are not the same team. Age + new players - experience = loss to bombers. Bombers looked ok at times but only because hawks midfield allowed them to.
It'll be interesting to see the games tomorrow
If freo does a number on Geelong I'm calling now, Freo v gws grand final.

It's hard to see us beating anyone on Thursday night's effort, it was a very meek performance.
How far off is Byrne by the way?

Byrne originally expected mid-season. Usually a 1yr injury, give or take.
