I love the way we kept it low key.
I love how the media made it all about them.
I love how MM played the selection shenanigans.
I loved the attack on the footy and man in the 2nd half.
I loved Judd, Murph, Gibbs, Robbie, Duigs and Waity today.
That was one hell of a day at the footy.
Richmond supporters are pure and utter human filth.

It's all good for us, they have spoken out loud all week and we've just minded our business, kept to ourselves and preapred for our game. If there's one thing I remember about MM at Collingwood, they ALWAYS stepped up for the finals. I'm expecting/hoping  for the same from our boys.
Youre right Carrots, I expect to see him earn his keep and justify the $$$$ this week.

I will be very disappointed if any of Judd, MacLean and Scotland take the field and can't run out the game.

You may be able to nurse an upper body injury through a game but playing someone with a dodgy leg is folly.

Very risky IMO....I'd play Judd only......taking three dodgy older players into the game is too much of a risk..

Gobsmacked....so we're playing these silly little selection games are we? If Scotland or especially McLean play, then we've already begun the game with at least one man down. Shaking my head at the bonehead decision to name them.
1. Are the 3 in question in our best 22?
2. Do we know how bad the injuries were?
3. If the answer to 1. is yes, is it ok to give them every opportunity to get up for the game?

At the end of the day, its giving the Tiggers something to think about, could be just the little 0.5% that takes their eyes off the ball.

Sunday is where we really rely upon the experience of MM to prepare our side for a cut-throat final.

He knows that this introverted bunch responds to heavy handed motivation - so hit em hard, coaching group.
Mate Im no expert in this area but I dont get how this is correct. I have trained a few dogs in my time and the introverted timid ones definitely dont respond to heavy handedness. The extroverted boisterous one do. Just a thought.

Finally got around to watching the replay tonight. There's no way Duigan would get dropped on that performance surely?
Interesting Brettie. The other night, on Talking Footy when MM was on, Carey had a crack at doing the Ins and Outs. He had Judd, McClean, Caccia, cant remember the other one In. He had Duigan, McInnes, Bell and Ellard Out. MM looked at the outs, pointed to them and said to Carey "Hang on, dunno about the outs, one put us in front, one was as tuff as a cats head..." I assume he meant Bell and Duigan. He then said MC hadnt met and no decisions were made. I would doubt Duigan will be out.

......and Swan was on KB's show Monday saying all three of Judd, McLean and Scotland would play.


Everything said during the week is just for the media. We'll find out when they run out I reckon.

IMO i'd say neither Judd nor McLean will play. Medial ligament and  a quad? they are not two week injuries.
Tend to agree, as I said in another thread, dont want a sub in the 1st or 2nd or the game is shot. We have subbed 9 times due to injury in the 1st or 2nd qtrs this year, we have lost every one of those games.

So whereabouts have people gotten their seats for the game (as in bay number)? Reason I ask is that I've got a couple of mates thinking of getting some eBay tickets, but don't wanna be purchasing seats right in the middle of a Richmond bay stronghold, so if I can gauge where Carlton members have been allocated seats, it'll help me be able to pinpoint a bay where there's at least a few Carlton supporters for them to be sitting near.....thanks people!!!

Apparently more tickets will be made available on Thursday from unused club allocations. Yesterday 12,000 Carlton members purchased tickets compared to 26,000 Richmond fans. They will outnumber us 2-1 on Sunday.
Bring it!

Brettie when you go online, they ask where you want them, you put Carlton Members Area. Having said that, its a shambles of a system. More categories that are necessary, intermingled between levels, stands, covered/not covered etc.

They bring their best and we also bring our best... we win.

Not sure about that, the only side in the top 6 weve beaten is Richmond and along with their inexperience is why I reckon we're a shot.

Do we play with the flair that got us into the final or go the boundary... Will be interesting to see.
Ive watched the last qtr replay a few times, , I dont reckon we so much stopped going along the boundary, PA seemed to clog the boundary line area daring us to go thru the guts. We reacted well, took it on and pantsed them.

We play our best Football when we're 5 goals down....

Lets give Richmond a 5 goal head start so we can attack from the 1st bounce  8)
[/quote]Lets stress test our hearts again, I say rope-a-dope like PA. Give em a start, make em run em selves ragged, then we start throwin haymakers and come over the top...said no one ever!
