2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

It's close lets cut the NAB Cup sh1te and get it started.

I think we are going to see the media reporting a lot of "Nobody saw this coming" type stories after we smash 9thmond destroying their 2016 hopes.

I've seen enough from our midfield types during the NAB Cup that if we field a full strength line up we have them comfortably covered. Our only major concern is ball use, but their's is not that much better.

Let's see how we go after Friday's crape.  :D

Hopefully we'll see more of our senior players out for a run.

Agree re the ball use. Also a little worried about the skipper being underdone. I hear whispers that he might not play rnd 1 if he doesn't play this week.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I reckon the Tiges would look at that team Pratty named and say, hmmmm, not so easy after all.

Nice that all the expectation is on them.

Shut down Riewoldt and Martin (Cotchin meh) and they're cooked.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I like aspects of this team Pratty but I am not sure you can have Kreuzer, Casboult, Rowe, Everitt and Philips in the one line up. Although with the reduced rotations extra height will have an impact late in games, you must be able to remain in the contest to take advantage of that. Would the side you've picked keep up early in the game though?

I like that alot Pratty, you're hired. And its good someone else also thinks that Bux should play in a FP.

I'm not confident... Rowe and Jammo will have to play blinders to stop them kicking a winning score.

I cant see us kicking more than 8 -10 goals..

Tigers by 5 goals. 

Would love to be wrong.

Could be a baptism of fire for Weitering?

Tigers will play the three talls up front IMO especially if the weather is good......Riewoldt, Vickery and Griffiths.......the latter has been concussed in one NAB game from memory.

Jamison, Rowe and Weitering should be our talls down back...., I reckon Weitering would get Griffiths who while bigger is less of a threat IMO and our young bloke might be able to
run off him and get some easy footy..
Martin and Deledio are also capable targets....hope we win the clearances and its doesnt get down their end too often...
