Rd 6: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs. Essendon

[flyboy77]

Armfield looks like the only fit option left or perhaps DVJR.

Army a no brainer in for Buckley who's out with injury.

Army doesn't take a backward step either.....

1Aw still not fit - a worry.

Other than that, why change what worked in Perth?

Jones earned a game this week but if another tall sought, Jaksch before Everitt too - the latter needs to extract several digits seemingly....

Based on what I saw of us v. Freo I reckon we'll be all over 'em and if anybody's doing any intimidating it'll be us. Have no fear, we'll be out to make a statement IMO.

Yeah I reckon BB would have drummed into them more Hawthorn mantra along the those lines.  ;D

[shawny]

I'm going to this one and hate more then anything losing to these pr1cks.

Haven't had a decent win over them for a few years and lately favourites or not they seem to play well against us. Hopefully change of coach will change this trend.

Cant bare to think of leaving the ground with head down knowing their delusional supporters will be thinking we even beat them when half our team is out!

I know we have a brighter future but really want to win well on Sunday otherwise we can spin it all we want but we will look like their bitches.

I don't ask for much off my team these days but please forking win this one!!!

Totally agree with everything you say here.

I'd be half tempted to bring in Simon White to follow Goddard around and make his day hell...

I'll be freakin' devestated if we lose this one.......

So for me we have the following with the future of our best 22 in Brackets  these should ebb and flow based on who is ready sooner or who has improved immensely:


FB:----Weitering(Weitering)---------Jamison(Plowman)------------Simpson(Docherty)

HB: White(Byrne)--------------Rowe(Glass-Mckasker)-----------------Tuohy(Skittles)

C:  Murphy(Graham)--------------Kerridge(Cunningham)---------------------------Thomas(Boekhorst)

HF:  Everitt(Silvagni)---------Casboult(Mckay)-------------------Gibbs(Sumner)

FF:  --Walker(C. Curnow)--------------Jones(Jaksch)----------------------Wright(Lamb)

F:  Kreuzer(Korcheck)---------Cripps(Cripps)----------------------------E.Curnow(Whiley)


*INT: Tutt, Armfield, Phillips(Gorringe), Buckley (Smith)


Thats not to say that we wont fling anyone else either who currently is in our best 22, but I get the idea that this is how we should think of our team moving forward.

I reckon Kerridge is a very good addition, & will be for sometime hopefully.  He was great at the stoppages on the weekend, fantastic backup for Cripps.  Cunningham will have to be something to push him out of the side.

cheers

Do you think White can run with a fit Goddard?

[madbluboy]

Me too, especially as I missed our last game and only caught the end on the radio.

[cimm1979]

Do you think White can run with a fit Goddard?

Yes.

But I don't see a tag/run with player as an option.

If you don't do it with Fyfe why do it with Goddard?

It's one of those games, that they will be up for the fight and we still can't kick enough score.

Prepare yourself and know it's just a bump in the long road.
