Carlton Supporters Club

Bell has a way to go IMO, needs more senior time, really should have been playing all year and he may have improved by now.

Sh1t i'm nervous about this week now!!! If the betting agencies get on to this we'll never be able to back for or against Carlton ever again.

Saints by 5 goals.....there's no more certain result this coming weekend. Saints supporters don't rate their team either, but they do against us....and with some justification too.

Riewoldt will kick a lazy 4 at least, Kosi & Milne 3 apiece, Milera will play one of his 2 good games of the year, Saad will come in and kick at least 2, Hayes a lazy 35+ possessions, Dal Santo a lazy 30+, Farren Ray will look magnificent, Jack Steven will run around like a Stawell Gift winner, Rhys Stanley will single handily fend off our forward talls, McEvoy will take 10+ contested marks everywhere, Clint Jones keep Murphy to about 10 possessions......and on and on and on it goes......

Surely another big Friday night game = another disappoitning loss.....why change the trend now?!

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Charlie Dixon on a career-best game tomorrow; assuming he's got Jamo on him......

I'm not going to be confident until Brettie gives Freo the kiss of death.

Sorry mbb.....I've got nothing but good feelings about this week. Win this and we make the 8 on merit......very good feelings......

Totally agree PI2C - this is the first time in many, many years whereby we're playing a Richmond team that is CLEARLY better than us.....and substantially so. Anyone who even considers us to be a chance, simply based on recent past performances, you're simply not being realistic in any way, shape or form. I like the changes Mick has made considering the injuries, really like them, but it still won't change the fact that the Tigers are on a totally different level to us in ability, development & confidence. It could get real ugly tomorrow....expect Hendo to return to defence, seeing as Jamo continues his spud-like form.

No interest in this game whatsoever, pretty sure another loss is coming, hoping like hell the Roos get over the line, then the finals get interesting....and that's how it should be. Any other scenario (i.e. us participating in September) makes our elimination final a joke.

Maddd! Richmond at the G, with Juddy it was meant to be!

Friggin' delusional.....

Bit of an article on Steve Morris of Richmond in the Sun today and its details his work on opposing small forwards...Eddie in two games only managed 18 disposals and 1 goal on Morris. Not good enough for a man wanting 600k a year and Eddie needs to deliver on Sunday for us to win...

In what will most probably be his last ever appearance in Navy Blue......

In a rather bizarre way, winning would be a sad indictment on the effort in recent games.
If they can get over the tigers it will demonstrate that it's more about attitude than ability.

struggled since he was made sub and subsequently dropped.

Edited for accuracy. And if you don't believe that that was in fact the issue you are delusional.

What's there to not understand about Yarran? He's not playing HBF. Don't you mean you don't understand why we've adopted this method and Yazz isn't playing off half back?

I never stated Yarran was playing off the HBF, and yes the rest of what you wrote is what I mean!

So the question becomes a chicken and egg scenario. Is Yarran not off HBF because of his form slump, or is his form slump because he is not off the HBF?
