Pre-Game 2021 AFL Rnd 1: Richmond vs Carlton.

[Gointocarlton]

Some talk Prestia might be ready to play, I think if we lose to Richmond by 4 goals that wont be seen as a great start to the season.
Thats just more of the same from previous years, we need to break this stranglehold they have over us and win the game. Starting with a loss just puts pressure back on the coach and is the first nail in his coffin IMHO.
At best a loss by a goal or less might be seen as progress but a 4-5 goal loss is a decent defeat and I cant see the rank and file accepting that result at all.

Deja vu, ground hog day, whatever you want to call it. There was a bit to like the other night, there was also a bit of same old same old. Cameos from too many not so young anymore ones who refuse to step up. What worried me most was how shaky the defence looked. A rock last year, was a shambles the other night, lost at sea against a side who play similar to Richmond only quicker. Richmond looked like they took over from where they left off last year. Gonna be a rough start to the year me thinks, injuries and a suspension to Zac W won't help our cause at all. We still let runs of goals happen without the leaders on field doing anything about it. We shall see in 12 or so days.
