Cannot believe the level of wagon jumping going on in the media, you'd think we were flag favourites! I know this happens for many clubs, but it hasn't been part of our media landscape for so long it's hard to remember another case!

At the moment I've been unable to ID the sources, so;

If this is our clubs doing, a new look media department, then kudos to the club as they are light years ahead of where they were in the past!

If it's the sycophants at News Ltd and Fairfax, trying to beat up a story before an expected fall, then fork off the lot of you! In the nicest possible way! :D
They can smell what we're cooking.

Sure as hell better be tastier than the last time we cooked something. A lot more Adrian Richardson's Secret Meat Business and a lot less Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Very winnable game.

Richmond remain an ordinary team with less than a handful of true A graders.

They got lucky, very lucky in 2017 and they were able to maintain their intensity. They were obliterated by the Crows during the year and who doesn't recall, vividly, what St Kilda did to them.

CFC is due a lucky year, especially given tge Crippa, Mr Ed anf more recently Doc injuries.

I'll wager we finish higher than the Tigers this year!  :P
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Very fanciful, even by your cheery, optimistic standards.

I think I will watch this one on TV - presumably it will be on Ch 7. Just noticed as a Telstra mobile customer I get a free AFL Live pass, renewed a couple of days ago, which is handy.

Agree..be a lot of feral Tigers supporters rejoicing in the flag unfurling etc, hoping the Tigers have a let down and have partied a bit hard so we can surprise them but with newbie players
who will take time to gel and minus Docherty and Gibbs I'll just hope for a good showing unless the Tigers get some major injuries..if we could get a player who could actually stand next to Dusty
and lay the odd tackle on him it might help as well...

...Kennedy floors Dusty with a "don't argue" at the first bounce, creating instant adoration from 2 000 000 Carlton supporters.... and the greater majority of the AFL-following world.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Perhaps we can let Ed Curnow deliver it and return the favour?

So he'd have to take out Cotchin?

I can see the headlines now..... BAM BAM SHOOTS BAMBI

I don't expect we'll win this one unless we catch them off guard somehow. Which, is possible.
A good showing and multiple periods of synergy would get a pass from me.
