Another game not on TV, so I won't see a single minute. That really frustrates me. Starts at 1640 EST.

Nowadays you don't have to go the full install, you can pay and get an app that lets you stream from your laptop/phone. ;)

Foxtel Now is also available on TelstraTV which makes it quite convenient. Works out at about $39.00 per month (including the compulsory movie or doco package), you get a free period to start and you can cancel any time with no lock in. I haven't tried it yet but I'm definitely thinking about it. I sometimes use the AFL App when all else fails (free with Telstra plan) but of course picture is only mobile phone size.
A Sneaky way is to open a Crownbet account and download their app, think you can watch the footy for free on your phone similar to Telstra...
Interstate games not FTA has always been a massive black mark against the AFL IMO..... Gives Foxtel ET AL a license to print money. What does the AFL think, rank and file need members to fly up to such games?
Regardless of what happens in this round it can't be as bad as rd20.
Oh wait... Us v Freo in Melbourne memories just came flooding back :'(
Don't have it. :(
If you know someone with a Foxtel subscription you can swing on to it, they can register three devices (phones, tablets etc.) and all you need to do is download the Foxtel app.
There are live streams as well but they can be pretty dodgy and loaded with malware, it's much better if someone you know with a Foxtel account will help you out.
You can Chromecast it to your TV.
My season ends this week!!!
Lets hope if we get beaten the opposition do it with 18, not 16.

Local pub is always a good option
Hambling, Hill, Fyffe, Sandilands and of course Brayshaw are all non starters this week. Might put up a good show (our recent interstate form is encouraging!!)
Neale always gets forty against us, but yes, they have significant out's and we should be competitive.

BB speak with fork tongue. I give up! Only in form players considered for selection, eh? And 2 blokes who didn't do well for the NBs last week (even acknowledged in VFL report), named on the extended bench (Mullet and Macreadie - rusty). Yes, other CFC listed blokes could have been named ahead of those two.
Hopefully the emergencies will be Mullet, Macreadie and Lobbe (though he'll be stiff to lose his place to Kreuzer as he's done okay).
Carlton's Round 21 line-up:
Backs 39. Dale Thomas 17. Sam Rowe 6. Kade Simpson
Half-backs 5. Sam Petrevski-Seton 22. Caleb Marchbank 38. Ciaran Byrne
Centreline 4. Lochie O'Brien 9. Patrick Cripps 16. Darcy Lang
Half-forwards 35. Ed Curnow 30. Charlie Curnow 46. Matthew Wright
Forwards 13. Jed Lamb 33. Jarrod Pickett 2. Paddy Dow
Followers 10. Harry McKay 3. Marc Murphy (C) 29. Cameron Polson
Extended interchange 8. Matthew Kreuzer 27. Matthew Lobbe 11. Sam Kerridge
1. Jack Silvagni 36. Patrick Kerr 32. Nick Graham
26. Harrison Macreadie 18. Aaron Mullett
In: Kreuzer, Kerridge, Silvagni, Kerr, Macreadie, Mullett
Out: O'Shea (omitted), Kennedy (ankle)
Schumacher has shown more consistent, and better, form than the majority of those ins.
Tipping it'll be Kreuzer/Lobbe, Silvagni, Kerridge and Graham. We may go with Macreadie in defence 3rd tall but I didn't think he had alot of game time in the twos so i'd say SOS will do that role.
It's good to see Matty Kreuzer back in the mix, if only because he must have a clean bill of health :)
Really starting to think Polson is related to Bolton? Or maybe he relates to him due to his height ;D.
I dunno but it definitely says something about where we are at as a footy club when a player that does SFA week in week out and
(yes he did a nice tackle and a nice pass last week)....continues to hold his spot.
Quite sad.
Guys, the cupboard is well and truly bare.

I thought that Polson did OK. He certainly didn't get a lot of the ball and his shot at goal (note that it is a shot
AT goal, not shot
ON goal) was atrocious, but he worked his butt off putting pressure on opponents and was equal third for tackles.
I don't think that he will be a long term option for us unless he cleans up his disposal and gets more of the footy but you can't question his effort.

That is the first one of the set of reviews that has been so negative - Fraser normally finds little positives for everyone.
DJC - Shot for (a) goal can also be used, but agree - definitely not shot on goal
Mundy, Neale and Walters need manning up correctly... we can win this game as they look vulnerable without some of their big names playing.
I dont even know some of their players.....even if we lose it shouldnt be by much....Blues to surprise by 10 points..

If Murphy, Cripps and Petrevski-Seton all have big games we've got a rough chance.
A few blokes in the NBs turned it up early. Garlett five possessions.... Really? Thinly veiled criticism of Mullet as well. Reads like the same names are providing as little support to the NBs as they are to the senior side. Fine, don't pick them.
I agree EB, pick the right side and we can push Freo, but their no names worry me...langdon, Nyhuis, Cox are the types that tear us a new one because Brendan Bozo doesn't seem to do much scouting.

Must be some injuries going around, cannot see how Mullett made the short list, I didn't see the game first-hand but the reports from mates were not what you would describe as glowing!
The "Classic Matches" game on the club page today is an absolute cracker from 2009......but gee, I think I must have erased those jumpers from my memory........and I can see why !
Must be some injuries going around, cannot see how Mullett made the short list, I didn't see the game first-hand but the reports from mates were not what you would describe as glowing!
Mullett was gifted an opportunity because we lacked guys in his bracket. He could have taken the opportunity, like Matthew Wright did, but he hasn't. I guess you could say that we were warned. I can understand why were ended up taking the chance, but it didn't work out.
If he is on our list in 2019, that would be a disaster. I hope he only had a 1 year contract.
O'Shea, on the other hand, might survive, even with his lack of performance. He does offer leadership to our kids, especially at VFL level. He does what he is asked to do to the best of his ability, and he is the message we want to send to the VFL: if you are good enough, we'll take you!
It is only our horrendous injury list that has required him to take roles he isn't really capable of. And he still put in: he simply isn't good enough for a long term option.
I would like to drop a few guys back to the VFL, but with our injuries, it simply hasn't been possible. Hopefully we can manage against a team with similar injury issues. At least we should be more competitive than last week.

The reason for that was because both Kreuzer and Lobbe were on the extended interchange bench. Without knowing if one or both would make the list, 'someone' had to be named on the ground as starting ruck. Hence, McKay.
Does the naming of both Kreuz and Lobbe tell us that Kreuz may still have a bit of a question mark over his fitness?

I'd like to see SpecialK get a rotation with Cripps and leave Lobbe and McKay rucking, one way to stop Freo's run and spread is to make sure they don't get a clean possessions from stoppages.
SpecialK roving to McKay is of particular interest, because McKay should be able to close down on outside opponents very quickly if he's given the green light to do so!
SpecialK ruck roving, resting forward?
If that works or shows potential it would also change our draft strategy slightly.
We don't want McKay getting smashed inside, his pace and mobility are assets for us to nurture not destroy through misuse.

Yes, I'm not so keen for the likes of Charlie C and Harry Mac to be rucking. Prefer to sacrifice the ruck and get others to do it tbh.
Yes sounds like Kruze might be under a cloud. But still prefer them to ruck over Charlie & Harry. Hard enough to play those positions as it is with out also being spread in several positions

Would not think so. It would have to be very high anxiety for it to rule him out for this time period that it has been present and anxiety can be controlled by medication, however I'm no doctor,

Not surprised by this. I posted that I I thought Kreuz could be doubtful from the time I saw both him and Lobbe included in the line-up.

Some doubt now for the future IMO, hope it isnt the case as he as been a grand warrior but even if he continues I think we need to give thought to another ruckman ...ie maybe Pruess, Roughead ?
Replaced by the gun midfielder Graham, gees Freo must be quaking with fear.

Reckon NickyG would be counting every minute of his time left at the club though given our history of list management we are likely to delist Graham then rookie him again... :-X

NG would be OK to keep for the Northern Blues where he would be a good player for us and help to provide a stable development environment - as long as he doesn't take up a place on the Senior or Rookie list that we may otherwise need.

Be ok in the NB's but would probably earn a few more dollars playing country footy or going to the SANFL.....maybe the SANFL might improve him having to be one of the main men and get him a second chance....
Either a tough win by two goals or less or a 12 goal thumping, I can't see anything in between.
