There should be a number on the board at Carlton, 120 tackles.
If 120 tackles are not laid then the footy gets put away this week and all of their work is high intensity drills such as suicides etc that leave them needing to throw up, to remind them how to push our boundaries.
We don't have to win this game, but we must make them hurt, we must put a body on them and we must frustrate the crap out of them. It doesn't have to be dirty, but when you run past a player, put a body on them, when you are a stoppage .. put a body on them.
GWS has more skill and they have more speed, but there is no reason why our club can't have more guts and determination.
If Carlton walk off the ground beaten against GWS but you can see just how hard each player went, then as a supporter that is going to be enough to please me, that is going to show me that they know how to work when the chips our down, they know how to never, ever give up.
hear hear! I totally agree. Actually I think we could even give these clowns a run for their money if we attack the contest like there is no tomorrow. If we don't then we should be ashamed of ourselves.

The player who is their real leader is Callum Ward IMO, without him Kelly, Scully, Shiel and co will have to get their hands dirtier and I reckon nullifying Ward is a key factor.
They will start odds on favs but I reckon we can take it up to them...maybe a player like Armfield could be a suitable in this week, pacy, good tackler and can kick a goal if
a smart ar$e big headed GWS backman like Heath Shaw doesnt man up and kick chases instead..
Wright, Palmer and SPS to running backs in Heaf Shaw, Nafe Wilson and Zac Williams
Ed Curnow to tag Josh Kelly
Gibbs to Callum Ward
Docherty to a wing v Tom Scully - make Scull accountable

Some talent (and pace) missing from the park.....even if Lobb, for example, gets up he'd surely be well underdone...?
Brett Deledio Calf TBC
Steve Johnson Knee Test
Rory Lobb Groin Test
Jacob Hopper Finger 2-3 weeks
Will Setterfield Ankle 2-3 weeks
Nick Haynes Hamstring 2-3 weeks
Devon Smith Knee 4 weeks
Stephen Coniglio Ankle 8 weeks
Ryan Griffen Ankle 12 weeks
Matt Buntine Knee Season
Adam Kennedy Knee Season
Finals, then 4 in a row!

They are good but they aren't that good.

Has anyone noticed the total lack of media time we've had this week? Granted we are not expected to win, but we haven't been expected to win all year. Nothing about the former GWS boys. Just a black hole.
Live Long and Prosper!

I've noticed this as well, we seem to have locked down our media department.
FWIW, CheatsFC have featured on every news broadcast with The ChemiCoach doing more interviews than Graham Norton.
Even at our last home game, Carlton v Norp, they spent 75% of the time discussing Norp.
btw., Given our current level of success, is this a good or bad thing?

Our big chance is that we jump them early with extreme pressure. Hopefully they turn up with their minds already on their week off!! We might just be freshened up from the break, while they are hanging out for theirs, and hoping for an easy game.
Our last 3 games against these guys have been terrible - we have scored 50 odd each time to 120-130. They are a good team, but they have only just beaten Pies and Bombers who we beat, so I pray we can keep them in check early.
We need to match their midfield run and depth and put pressure on them there. I would bring in 2 of Smedts, Boek or Kerridge, and give McCreadie and Fisher a spell - just to give us guys who can put in a 4 quarter hard running effort and give us some transitional options coming out of the backline. Also allows Wright to play forward more where he is most useful.
I would also bring in big H for a debut game. Put Willo on Toby for the day for his education.

If fit I highly expect Daisy to be back and Jones to come in.
Jones is tall enough, strong enough, mobile enough and fast enough to be a real issue for the GWS forwards.
