NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Essendon Sunday 28th Feb
#1
With game 1 done and dusted and a LOT of discussion still proceeding from our last contest, I have already started looking forward to our next game: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats. This game is set for Sunday 28th Feb (the day after my Birthday! Smile ) at 1405 at Carlton!
I am really looking forward to seeing more of our new chums in action: Weitering missed because of a minor ankle ailment, so he should be available, as should Walker. McKay and Cunningham must be in the mix as well.
Live Long and Prosper!

It will be my first game at Princes Park since we played Brisbane there.

It should be a good day, particularly if more of our new blokes get a run.

I hope we go out full throttle and smash this mob ( but I hope our coaching staff have a more measured perspective on the outcomes we are hoping to achieve!!)

The focus will no doubt be firmly on preparation of the guys for the real stuff. If we can win as well then all to the good but it won't be a case of "win at all costs".
Reality always wins in the end.

Wouldn't surprise me if BB doesn't even look at the scoreboard .

It wouldn't surprise me if Trigg has a quiet word in Boltons ear that a win at Ikon Park vs the Bombers would do the membership dept a world of good. I'm not suggesting 'win at all costs' but we wouldn't want to lose either.

Trigg may just do that Amers, and I would understand completely if he did.  However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Bolton wouldn't really give a fat rat's clacker for anything that deviated from his plans.

Of course, I'm hoping that his plans include pounding the Bombers into the Princes Park turf  Smile

If the long range forecast is correct I doubt they will flog any players, could be in the 30s Sunday afternoon.

There is obviously a god and a nice one at that, having us playing the drug cheats so early and at Princes Park. Pity I'll be away chasing marlin. Have a happy birthday Crash.

Or Bolton might just be a smart enough bloke to be able to compromise and put up a good enough side to win comfortably and still not deviate too far from the bigger picture re his preparations for season proper!
