Not looking forward to this game , especially at the G. Interstate team, not many people. All depends on which Carlton Team decides to rock up.
Filth beat us, Cows beat the Filth...We beat the Cows. Isn't that how it works?
Hopefully Tex has the second game Blues
The Crows Walker was rusty early but moved well later in the game and got a bit of footy.....reckon he might be ready to impact this week. Being at the MCG gives us some hope but reckon the Crows wil start favourites....no Curnow will also mean Dangerman might be off the leash too...
Army has been used on Dangerfield with success & in pre-season Yarran did quite well until he got injured.
Yarran is back to his form of 2011. Not surprising considering he's played more of a role across HB this year. In the end a player with so much talent will always come good. I do however like the idea of switching him in between attack and defence.
PI2C Yarran started on the wing when Jones went to him he pushed fwd then for matchups went back, Yazz has become our swingman!!!
I think we can give the recruiters are tick on this one now?
If he played for Hawthorn he would be compared with Rioli and reckon he provides more than Cyril does.

Great run from Yarran off HB, topping it off with a neat kick from 30 or so. That's the sort of blistering run which will change the way teams play him. If they play him tighter, then that's one forward we don't need to worry about in future.
Menzel's coming along nicely. Hope his LARS stands up to the rigours of footy. On one of the TV footy shows last night, he was compared to Alan Didak insofar as having fantastic goal sense and goalkicking skills as well as the eagerness to assume the responsibility of taking the shot.
Saw the "pluck" again. A Saints player won a wrestle with his own player for the ball as said team mate was on the ground wrapped up in a tackle. Must have been an almighty effort to rip it free. Or maybe his team mate just let it go. Seems to me that there should be a ban on players "ripping" the ball out of their own team mate's hands, just as marks can't be awarded to a player who marks his own kick and a player is counted as having continuous possession if he handballs while running and catches it before it hits the ground. But maybe they're trying to attract Rugby Union fans who'd be very familiar with that sort of hand off in a maul.
In a game of over 100 tackles, to have 2 holding the balls shows how far the other way the rule has gone.
@ Mav totally agree with the Yarran scenario also have said Menzel will start to show us how good he is then get injured, also the grabbing the ball out of your own players hands is incorrect disposal.
@ Shadesy it seemed to me the Saints players had a lot more latitude from the umps when they were tackled.
