Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 17 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Richmond at MCG

This game worries me - we have really played shot against Richmond lately and they would love nothing more than to stop our winning streak.

But - i think we have it in the bag, and easily. We have some tough players now, including the new young ones and recruits who were not in form in out first game.

I think we win by 10 goals.

If Freo are 2 games clear on top at Round 24, they will rest half of their team rather than risk injury.  Maybe an unexpected W.

Surprised the predictor has us losing to both the Saints and the Dogs - pretty sure we win one of those at least.

Freo won't rest anyone in the last round, more likely to happen across Rounds 20-23. They won't want players off the park for 2 weeks in a row.

Indeed, Richmond have played their best football against us for the last couple of years, much to my irritation. I don't want us to take them lightly, but I do want us to give them a day they want to forget.

Pitto has struggled against Nankervis in the past, and we have not much of a plan B for that situation. Also Richmond will have Lynch back, and he won't kick that badly again.
If Weitering were playing, Lynch wouldn't get a kick, but Weitering isn't going to play. Dean and Derksen will need to be on their game!
As good as Dean and Derksen have been, I'd imagine Lynch would monster them.

Mm, if Lynch starts any of his shenanigans and Deano is on him, let's just say... Can you still win the Rising Star if you've been reported and found guilty?

Remember that Lynch is an expert at getting frees through sneaky stuff. Be a handful for either Deano or The Derk.

Moira Deeming is set to be dumped as the Liberal candidate for not apologising to Matthew Guy. 

Guy must have more influential backers than John Pesutto, who I thought was well on his way to becoming the next Premier.

The funny thing is that Deeming wasn't pre-selected but was reinstated when her backers kicked up a fuss.

It's no wonder that punters become disenchanted with our pollies  ::)
