2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

[BluePhantom]

Is it raining in Melb?

[Pratty]

That's a decent team selected.

I had Whiley for White but I think we might get some marking flexibility with White in.

Good list of emergencies in C.Curnow, Smith and Whiley, then you add:

Cuningham
McKay
Silvagni
Jaksch
Plowman
Sumner
Gorringe
Byrne
Gallucci
Glass-McCasker

We have some youth. How good are they?

We'll find out plenty this year and even in the first half of the year I reckon.

The whole list (and organisation) has been, and will continually be, challenged.

Damn, Rowe and White, we are indeed a spud team.

You know my feelings on White, but i hope Jaksch is able to take over.

Rowe is a Spud, but speaking to other supporters they rate him. Regardless we go in with our "Best" backline and White as Cover, so it's really the best we have at the moment.

Big tick from Bolton on selection for mine, no Dick, Jones or Tutt to be seen.

I know we finished last in 2015 but these are games we should win. I don't rate Richmond, they are pretenders of the highest order and with the outs they have, they should not win. These are the games I want to win no matter our predicament, no matter our ladder position.
Go Blues

x3
I give us some chance tonight as the Tigers are down on numbers and the pressure is all on them with Hardwick being re-signed, we have picked a decent team on paper.
Blues by 9 points...

Agree, those three out tells me more about Bolts than those he has included. No need to play guys who are just not up to it ala Dick and Tutt while also avoiding the temptation to play Jones in the hope that he comes good.

Agree. We can only select the best we have available for each role. I was dreading the selection of Jones tbh but thankfully BB is on to him. He will play out his days in the VFL IMO, unless he miraculously turns it around. I think Tutt is certainly only marking time as well.

[DamonBlue]

What's happened to Sheehan? Would love to see him get a decent run. I rate him, if only for the fact that he can actually kick.

Who else is pumped?? Farken go blues.

Is it raining in Melb?

Not at the moment, it was supposed to rain then clear but it seems to have missed the city!

Massively.

Im always pumped to play richmond, and we are always a chance to beat them too no matter how badly we are going.
