2017 Round 3 : Pre Game Thread - Carlton vs Essendon

[ElwoodBlues1]

That about sums it up JB

Reckon Kerridge for Cripps....Rowe will play IMo...

[BluePhantom]

I was impressed with Kerr in the practice match against the Tigers.  He knows how to play and has the physical attributes to be a KPP.  He doesn't mind a bit of rough stuff either 

However, he's a long term prospect and I'd be very surprised if he gets a call up this year.

Thanks for the insight DJC, would love for him to be the real deal. 

[Professer E]

If shocking, I mean Hocking, gets a run that means they must be confident as they are starting one short in the midfield.

I'd tell the group to go Mario Bortolotto on the nearest cheat if any of our blokes get sniped, line in the sand stuff for mind as I bet this mob saw how Lewis got away with it and I wouldn't be surprised if they try the same rubbish.

Last night on TFS, they showed Dirty Dog Lewis breaking Crippas jaw and they asked the CH Goddard what he thought. He suggested that Lewis was abit stiff as he tried to punch Cripps in the shoulder but it slipped upwards. A more stupid account of events I have not heard. He then went on to say "I cant really comment on other players". DH, you just did. The point of this is that every time we play against a team Goddard plays for, I pray to God that one of our blokes sits him on his ass (legally if possible). A more self loving, bigger piece of gutter trash does not exist in the AFL.

Agree...no great surprise he ended up at Essendon give the sort of Individual he is...hopefully someone cleans him up and tests his jaw with one that slipped upward from the shoulder...

Yup. I'd settle for anyone, but would love a 'young pup' such as Crippa himself or Charlie Curnow to just shirt front him and take all of the air outta his lungs! Then stand over the top of him, whilst he's gazing into the sky all teary eyed, and let him know that's NO.1 for the day, with more to come!

Yes it would be interesting to see the hardness index of BG's jaw stress tested.

[Gointocarlton]

So in this very round 10 years ago, Fev kicked 8 to seal a victory resulting in our greatest ever comeback. Will history repeat? I forken hope so.
Go Blues.

[Gointocarlton]

A bit of mail circulating we will have another debutant this week and its not the Big H, its the Big W.

[crashlander]

I haven't seen the team posted - maybe I just haven't been online enough.

Carlton

B: Sam Docherty, Caleb Marchbank, Simon White.
HB: Kade Simpson, Sam Rowe, Lachie Plowman.
C: Sam Kerridge, Patrick Cripps, Ed Curnow.
HF: Dale Thomas, Jacob Weitering, Jack Silvagni.
F: Matthew Wright, Levi Casboult, Sam Petrevski-Seton.
R: Matthew Kreuzer, Bryce Gibbs, Marc Murphy.
Int: Charlie Curnow, Billie Smedts, Harry McKay, Rhys Palmer, Harrison Macreadie, Jarrod Pickett, Tom Williamson (Three to be omitted).

In: Sam Kerridge, Harry McKay, Rhys Palmer, Tom Williamson.

Out: Dennis Armfield (Omitted)

New: Harry McKay, Rhys Palmer, Tom Williamson

It appears that Kerridge is definitely in. Not sure about any of the others. There has been mail that Williamson may debut. I guess we shall see,


Essendon

B: Mark Baguley, Michael Hurley, Brent Stanton.
HB: Brendon Goddard, Patrick Ambrose, James Kelly
C: Travis Colyer, Dyson Heppell, Orazio Fantasia
HF: Mitch Brown, Cale Hooker, David Zaharakis.
F: Zach Merrett, Joe Daniher, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti
R: Matthew Leuenberger, Jobe Watson, Heath Hocking
Int: Andrew McGrath, Darcy Parish, Martin Gleeson, James Stewart, Kyle Langford, Shaun McKernan, Matt Dea (Three to be omitted)

They brought in Leuenberger to play against Kreuzer. Leuenberger's extra height helped him beat Kreuzer last year. Also The scums 'no names' usually play well against us.
