Carlton Supporters Club

Port impressive vs a lacklustre Brisbane but I think we will be looking to make it ugly footy and wont cough up as many goals....all teams have one annoying player and for its Jasper Pittard for Port....doesnt miind getting involved in push and shove games(dont know why because he cant fight) but usually comes in late when opposing players are not looking and gets a cheap shot in. Always looking for the easy receive across half back too and generally just annoys  me and I hope to see him sat on his backside at some stage...

Port are good frontrunners but I think Kruezer can give us first use vs the inexperienced Howard and we can make a game of it...something flakey about Port
and I reckon a bit of physical emphasis can put them off their game...

Gibbs has something to prove after being stitched up last time we played them. You know those players with severe concussion from sling tackles, who could not stand up, but still played the next week!

Wasn't it Port that bitched like cut snakes about Carlton, then sold Gibbs up the river with what in hindsight was a pretty bogus medical assessment?

We should not forget!

Port haven't beaten much more.
6 day break vs our 7.
Game in Melb.
We are a chance against a side that loves to cheat and run forward of the contest

They've been beaten by Adelaide, Geelong and GWS, and beaten Richmond, Essendon, Brisbane and St Kilda easily.
St Kilda have run North and Hawthorn to a kick and are traveling pretty well for a side on a rebuild, and they thrashed the other lowly sides that they beat.
On form alone they should beat us comfortably but we are playing better than we were and sport throws up some odd results.
Boak is in top form and we've struggled with big bodied, quality midfielders in recent years, they also have several forwards capable of kicking multiple goals.
A win would be fantastic but it's hard to be confident.

Another thing and maybe off topic a bit, but Cripps is just an awesome unit.
He isn't as explosive as Judd was in his prime and probably never will be but he's just as hard to tackle as the Great Man, he's got Captain written all over him and along with Docherty and Weitering will form the basis of our leadership for a decade.
It's hard to believe that we got him at pick 13.

Clubs are too worried about athletes and not worried enough about footballers.

Great pic of Menzel, Bell and Hendo (the latter working hard off the ball as always)!

Who was the tackler? Is he still with us?!!

I gotta say out of those three? I only miss Belly and his big body through the middle and HFF. He was a hack with his disposal at times but was a brute and could kick a goal from a long way out. He would have been nice to keep alongside Crippa and Kerro.
