Odds of $2.00 for the Tiges is a special from one of the betting agencies. 
$20 maximum bet is the catch....

Worth taking if only to taunt the Footy gods.

Pretty darn solid team that....

Will look better again with Willo and Lang in the 22.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I copped flak for saying Weitering might miss out because we're too top heavy. Instead its McKay who misses out.

If Weiters ends up playing forward i'll be filthy!

Would much prefer McKay to play forward, then have Weitering moved forward because he's not needed in defence, but we'll see how it plays out.
The rest of the side is ok. Probably wouldn't have had Mullett in there, potentially not Byrne either, but good enough i guess.

Weitering may get the tag on Rance which Mckay couldnt do...

Kennedy on Martin, E. Curnow on Cotchin...? Daisy Half Forward, Byrne Half back....reckon Lamb might start and Garlett on the pine..

If we pop the tigers balloon you won't care if Weiters' shows up in a pink tutu and does a rendition of Swan Lake, McKay hasn't earned his spot yet, hopefully he will soon.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

Carlton
B: Kade Simpson, Liam Jones, Caleb Marchbank
HB: Dale Thomas, Jacob Weitering, Lachie Plowman

Emg: David Cuningham, Cameron Polson, Harry McKay, Cameron O'Shea

I think Mullett is a little lucky. He hasn't set the work on fire as yet. I just hope Garlett and Kreuzer are fit: I hate playing guys who are not 100%.

Richmond

HB: Nick Vlastuin, Jayden Short, Brandon Ellis
C: Shaun Grigg, Shane Edwards, Trent Cotchin
HF: Jason Castagna, Jack Graham, Jacob Townsend

Emg: Anthony Miles, Sam Lloyd, Callum Moore, Ivan Soldo

I really want to pound these poseurs.
Live Long and Prosper!

On paper it looks like a fairly even match up, then you tell yourself that Richmond are the reigning Premiers and it wasn't a fluke.
They are very hard at it, well disciplined, play for each other and have some seriously underrated players, if we get within 20 points I'll be happy.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I cant see us parking Charlie Curnow at Full Forward or even as a permanent 4 quarter foward...  ?

I think we could had squeezed Harry in... oh well.

Can't wait... Bring it on.

Da Di Da Di Dar..Da Di Da Di Dar..Da Di Da Di Da Di Darrr ...Darrr Darr.. We are the NAVY BLUES !!

Pretty good line-up I reckon.

I thought Williamson may have got a gig ahead of Mullet but maybe there is a fitness problem there somewhere.

There has been plenty of  support for playing Harry on here but I always thought he was only outside chance.

Only played the 2 ordinary games last year and did stuff all in the  pre-season stuff. BB has already said that no-one will be gifted a game and I fully support that.

We're in with a chance, but it's a long shot.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Happy seeing Lloyd and Miles out...dont rate Conca, and Ellis has proved nothing remarkable either....
Graham and Townsend were damaging in the finals and I hope we have done our homework and get the right matchups....

Be interesting to see if Miles can get back into the Tiger 22 this year. If he can't he will surely be on the move.
Reality always wins in the end.
