Ok, it's game day and I'm really confident of a good showing. Look a lot better structural with Waite in the side and I think we can stretch the bulldogs undersized defence. The dogs are an elite stoppage and clearance team, this is where it's critical we match it with them. Judd, bell, and Cripps give us hardness at the contest. Would like to see Juddy as sub, doubt it would happen tho.

Yes, the clearances and midfield work is what I'll be watching closely because that's where we've been bad so far. If we can get that right and improve our goal kicking accuracy then we are in with a show definitely.

Petty sure Ratts had implemented his gameplan prior to Richardson coming over had he not?

Just wondered how long it would take for you to jump in Carrots.  ;D

Hey just pointing out the obvious. :P

Well I'd hate for you to portray something in a different light to what it actually is. Your credibility means a lot to me! :))

Thanks for your concern mate, it's just that I'm a little more circumspect than you (since I joined the Jewish race).  8)

Owned. 8)

On a serious note, it was real cavalier stuff. They ran like gazelles up the field, and yes, now that I think of it, it does remind me of our old plan. What I liked more was their incessant pressure off the ball. Bombers couldn't handle it at all. Young Luke Dunstan and Jack Billings..stars in the making.

30+ touches for Lenny Hayes and a vintage game from Riewoldt, it makes it so much easier when your best players fire.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

With Garlett and Watson both playing for the NBs, White must be the 'designated emergency'.  At least we know that Judd and possibly Thomas have both come up for the game.

OK, MM has lost the plot now.

Judd sub, FFS if he is fit he plays, if he isn't he shouldn't be risked.

Having Judd as sub is just asking for a soft tissue injury!

I can't help it....it's always like  this just before the game.
We'll win
Blues by 24. :D
(heart feeling)

Don't mind Judd as the sub actually.
He may be fit, but he does lack match fitness.
....and they would never bring him back through the VFL.
The other thing is that if it's a close game going into the last quarter wouldn't it give the side and the supporters a lift to see him run onto the ground.
It's a little thing but one that could make a difference.

Buckley was omitted for 'team balance'.  He didn't have a great game last week but he has been one of our more consistent performers.  He's in his third season so it shouldn't be a fitness or durability issue.  :-\
