Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game

[flyboy77]

I say this every year. Previous seasons form and performances are gone and are history. Tonight we start fresh and full of hope. I hope we put in a performance that matches the hype and expectation surrounding our young team. We have a great opportunity to play the reigning premiers and rain on their flag unfurling parade. The guys have been setting themselves for this one, lets hope take this opportunity with both hands and kick the Tiggers asses. Dare to Dream.
Go Blues

Thankfully there's a lot more hype around the Tigers....and little mention of the loss of Houli, Prestia, Rioli and Broad.

The Tigers aren't a team you fear (like the Hawks, Cats or Swans of yesteryear).

Our boys should feel confident after beating the Saints and Hawks - and most players appear in good form especially Cripps, Levi, Jones, Kennedy, Daisy, Marchbank and Plow (and Byrne). i won't go on 

SPS is critical to uor fortunes tonight and on. If he's playing well, the opposition never touches him and he essentially does as he pleases.

I hope Charlie has a blinder too - I'd be getting him to man up Rance first up and run him ragged.

Midfields are where games are almost always won or lost.....ours looks deeper, stronger and classier.   

And when Kreuzer plays well, we inevitably are right in a match.

And someone needs to sit both Dusty and Cotchin on their respective butts, especialy when Dusty tries that illegal throat/head fend off.....
