Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game
Quote:Richmond could be forced to make four changes to their premiership team in round one as they sweat on the fitness of midfielder Dion Prestia and Bachar Houli.

With Nathan Broad serving a club-imposed suspension in the first three rounds and Daniel Rioli ......

That's a few significant potential outs?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Agree, good time to play them when they have a few sore or out and think they are unbeatable after a good preseason.....they will start favourites but I give us a chance...
If it helps any, last time the Tigers won the flag they played us in Round 1 the next year. We smashed them unmercifully with first gamers Bosustow and Hunter starring! Hope it happens again.
Although he probably doesn’t deserve it, I think we need to play McKay.  We need Rance ‘occupied’ with a tall, while 2 others have some sort of freedom. 2 talls narrow our chances with the best Blackman in the game down there.

Would be a great morale booster for us. We can hope!
Reality always wins in the end.
Interesting team selection for round 1 coming up. I Don’t think we can play Jones, Weitering, Marchbank & Plowman in the same backline against Richmond. Simpson is not a lock down small defender so not sure what his role will be.

I have high hopes for Paddy Dow, I think he is a future captain of our club.

I hope Kreuzer gets up cos I doubt we can play Casboult & Mckay as our two ruckman. Lobbe has played some good football at Port Adelaide and will be a good replacement in the ruck if Kreuzer doesn’t play.

7 days to go folks. Very happy to see some football after 6 months. Replays and old footage on Youtube only work for a short period.
Hotcox?
